I'm curious why you're using the original Greek name for the story (Odissea) but the James Joyce name for the protagonist (Ulysses rather than the original Odysseus)?

I'm italian Odyssey=Odissea Ulysses(Odysseus)=Ulisse(Odisseo), I prefer the latin version.

Variants and meanings of name

The name has several variants: Olysseus (Ὀλυσσεύς), Oulixeus (Οὐλιξεύς), Oulixes (Οὐλίξης)[5] and he was known as Ulysses in Latin or Ulixes in Roman mythology....

from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odysseus

Thanks guys

Looks fabulous!

I worry a bit about AGS + the 1024x768 res though. Did you test how fast it works?

It works
It works fine on 5 different pc, maybe on a Penthium I...

Story:

Who has not heard of Homer's 'Odyssey'?

"Odissea - An Almost True Story" is an adventure that "almost" recounts the deeds of Ulysses,
taking him to legendary places, such as the cave of the Cyclops, Calypso's island, the Sirens' cavern...
a long journey in search of his homeland, Ithaca, where his beloved Penelope has been awaiting his
return for many years.

Troy has fallen by his ingenuity, but mocking a god is unwise (and the euphoria of the victory is no
excuse): Ulysses will pay dearly for this error. There will be many tests that he must undergo in
order to appease Poseidon, but fortunately not all of the gods want to see him suffer.

Indeed, Athena is on his side, and, thanks to her advice, our hero will once again be able to see the
coasts of Ithaca, where other troubles await him... Twenty years is a long time, and the Proci have
been courting Penelope with a view to marriage in order to rob Ulysses of his throne and his island
dominion. Who among the pretenders will successfully draw back the King's magic bow and demonstrate
his supremacy in the archery contest for the Queen's hand? One of the princes? Ulysses' son,
Telemachus? Or Ulysses himself, who has returned just in time thanks to his tenacity (of course, he
could have returned earlier - twenty years is a long time...)?

This looks great, i love the radar and your art and cutscenes are very consistent! Mass Effect an inspiration?

I Love ME, but my inspirations are Another World and Indy for Quantumnauts (also hitchhiker's guide and galaxy quest)....

With this solution http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=38465.msg506453#msg506453 everything works fine, but with last releases there were no problems for me (I started Quantumnauts on Hitler beta and now I'm working with new decade edition)... and I use very intricate walkable areas in 4000+px backgrounds

Hi Folks!

After some months, here's a little sequence from the 'Underworld' in Quantumnauts.

This is my goal  :

the castle of the Ice Queen

The orchestra "draws" the landscape and the piano is the wind.

I played the demo and I think it's amazing, I love the grain and the story very good.

I love sci-fi and HPL, it seems a good game
