People are still making stuff for the Sinclair related machines. Tell us about new games and other software that runs on the Spectrum, ZX80/ZX81, Pentagon and Next.

In nihilum reverteris text game IN ENGLISH

Post by yerzmyey »

Hi,

if the separate topic isn't required then just please remove it.
I thought it might be reasonable to keep some order.

Kind regards! :)

*****************

"In nihilum reverteris" - another text-game / interactive novel by Yerzmyey.
Platform: ZX Spectrum 128K or higher.
(C) 2018 by H-PRG.

DOWNLOAD: http://yerzmyey.i-demo.pl/In_Nihilum_Reverteris_ENG.zip

Loading ONLY with the "USR0" mode!!!!!

The game has been designed for TV-sets and RGB monitors - just like You played in the 80s / 90s.
Please do not use emulators with the size of the postage stamp.

Controls: QA/OP - hyperlink selection.
SPACE - fire / approval of the choice.
ENTER - PageDown / next page (viewing of each chapter is looped, so lazy Hellboj decided that PageUp is unnecessary).

Text, music and graphic by Yerzmyey/H-PRG.
Code and fonts by Hellboj/H-PRG.
Coding help and English language help - Gasman/H-PRG.

Scientific consultation (physics and mathematics) - Dr. Engineer Hellboj.
Moral support - Piotr Marecki.

Hello,

As I mentioned in another forum, I've been trying to load the game in Fuse with not much success.

I've used Spectrum +2 and Spectrum 128K emulation, I've typed "RANDOMIZE USR 0" before loading the game (I thought that's what it meant with "Load in usr0 mode!!!") and no matter how hard I try I always get the "4 Out of memory, 55:3" message.

Am I doing something wrong?

I honestly dunno - it works perfectly well on the Fuse:

Dudez just enter 128 BASIC, type
usr0
[ENTER]
and
LOAD ""

Sorry! I didn't know that typing "usr0" in 128k basic did that. Now it works! :lol:

Hi guys.

Nice one!

On FUSE and SPIN I can get it to load (yep USR0) but it seems to miss a block on each one with fast load. The game starts and seems to work fine so far.

Yes, I agree - I'm pissed-off.

Ah well, it should be OK now, 'though.

Awesome!

I suggest adding Usr0x01 at the beginning of tape, before the actual game. It will save users a lot of trouble.

I can add it myself when adding it to ZXDB, if you want.

The English translations plus Einar's USR fixed one are already available as part of the original release, which is on page 2 of the updates.

Do you mean you want it bumping?

The whole update page will probably change to a word list format soon anyway.

Hi guys,

the version for ZX81 with ZXpand interface is ready.
DOWNLOAD: http://yerzmyey.i-demo.pl/nihilum_ZX81_eng.zip
SirMorris and the guys made excellent work with coding. Hi-res graphic, fluent scrolling of pictures, AY-music engine and so on.

Image

Controls:
8 and NewLine (ENTER) for PAGE DOWN - next page. Also: to skip the pictures.
5 for PAGE UP (previous page).
6 & 7 (cursors UP/DOWN) scroll the text UP/DOWN.
A,B,C as "ACTION KEYS" - at the appropriate time to advance to the next chapter.
S - music ON/OFF.

Text, music and graphic by Yerzmyey/H-PRG.
Code and fonts by SirMorris.
Scrolling WRX driver by Adam Kloxblit.
STC player by Andy Rea.

English language help - Gasman/H-PRG.

*******
IF THE GAME DOESN'T WORK - PLEASE PUT ALL FILES IN THE **ROOT** FOLDER.
But it should not be necessary. I tested it and works fine from its own catalogue.
*******

Enjoy.
Y

I like the graphics style, and of course the music...

And cool story, I enjoyed reading it. Well written as well, I'd say probably worth the translation fee..!
