It's possible the binary masters might be on the backup tapes. I hope to recover the rest of the tapes one day. I did manage to recover a bunch of PC 5.25" floppy disks, most were dud, but one disk pair had the binary master of Jinxter v1.02 f…

You can get all the original images from Stefan's memorial site; https://msmemorial.if-legends.org/magnetic.php

Hi Erik, All of the remasters can be switched into "classic" mode in the settings. What this does is switch off (nearly) all the changes we've made to the game. The changes we're making for the remasters are to make the game more playabl…

We've got some new pictures for the Jinxter remaster! i'm planning to write a blog about it soon.

Hi Ray, Thanks for reminding me about this. I must write the blog "KL part 2". The short answer is that there has been a lot of development with KL. What's happening is that KL as a domain specific language has reached a useful and devel…

Hi, Sorry for the delay. I'm currently on vacation. Regarding the Restaurant documents; we are currently investigating whether we can legally make this game. I'll let you know what we find out.

Hi Guys, Yeah, i think if you press the aerosoul early, you waste it. Also you must press it after throwing the potion at Kronos and before he dissolves. I agree this is a bit old school cruel. We should amend this for a future release. We did ma…

Hi Fosforo, Voice recognition would be interesting, but it would need to be an online service. So far, attempts I've seen for voice game input have been poor. On the other hand, i am thinking about the reverse problem, ie voice output. I've been l…

Hi Fosforo, 64 bit It is my understanding that all apps released onto the Apple Store now have to be 64 bit. Thus if ever Activison update those releases, they will have to make a 64 bit version. Whether that means they won't bother, i don't know.…

Hi Fosforo, Metal & Wooden keys Ah the weird sense of humour of The Pawn. Yes, the wooden key does not open the shed but the metal key does!! Save & Load Unfortunately, for The Pawn, games saved from the command using "save" ar…

Hi Fosoro, Thanks for your suggestions, all appreciated. Click Focus You're right, this is clearly an oversight! I'm adding this to do the todo short-list. Drag to Sidebar I shall have a think about this. It would be very nice to be able to do …

Hi There! Thanks for your interest in our remastering projects It would indeed be nice to be able to remaster the Infocom games. Maybe even add graphics? However, the problem is that the rights to these games are not obtainable. I think several pe…

Hi Steve, Thanks for your interest in our projects. At Strand, we're working on a long-term project of; history, technology & Games. Those are the, er, strands. So our technologies are split into parts. We've split the front-end UI from the …

Hi Dave, Thanks for your encouragement! We've already make a lot of progress with Jinxter. Stefan has done some excellent work in making it playable without typing - although, of course, you still can. We're going to try to make the ending less c…

Hi Hamborn, Glad to hear you have it working! "keeping the last image on the screen". Do you mean it should leave the last picture when you move away from the location? If so, this was a deliberate change. As you recall, the originals u…

Looking more at your attached picture; The left sidebar list text should also be "roboto", which it appears to be. But, have you changed the font of the main text in the settings? Because the font shown is not the default.
-
Regarding the font problem; The headers shown are in "Roboto". A copy is bundled with the game which it uses but, could it be that you also have this font installed in your system but with a different version? It could be that it is pick…

Hi! Glad to hear you got it working. I have run it under Windows 10 and it seemed ok. However, i will look into this, in case something has gone bad. It will check a URL at itch.io. This fetches the latest version number. You can find out which ve…

Hi Rob, thanks for this suggestion. I've added it to my list.

Further update from MS: (Quote) So it's possible that it might now actually work!

For anyone interested in the problem of detecting spam, this was solved way back in 1992 by Cynthia Dwork and Moni Naor and Eli Ponyatovski in their 1992 paper "Pricing via Processing or Combatting Junk Mail" via a proof of work system cal…

We've tried requesting an unblock here but no news yet....

Not many images are animated. What about the gravedigger above, does that animate?
-
Thanks for the update. I've added the missing MSVCR120.DLL into the deployment for future releases. I think the numbering scheme used on these DLLs means that DLLs with the same number are the same. So i think this is safe.
-
The game actually will work without the DLL because it's only needed for the SSL libs, which are dynamically loaded. And they are only loaded to perform a secure "latest version" check with Itch.io. Your missing DLL will only cause the upd…
-
Thanks for this report. The file MSVCR120.dll is part of the Microsoft C Runtime. After some digging, I've found out that MSVCR120 is referenced from the bundled SSL libs. The latter are bundled because many Windows system versions are just too ol…

Thanks for the report. Try updating your graphics card drivers. hm. an orange blob in the corner. Seen that before. Happens whenever opengl or directx is not using sufficient float precision in the shader. However, it looks like the whole UI is bo…

You have to reinstall a more uptodate guild as mentioned above. I can PM you a free download key if you like.
