You must have never played Dutch games before. ;)

Thanks, it worked! Yes, I played Dutch games before.

In this game, "Underground Adventure", how do I get things back once they have been taken from me?

Can I save and load / restore inside this game?

Oh yeah, I remember that. The save method from the book didn't work on my pc since it was written for msx, and back then I didn't know how to write my own. So that's why :)

When I try to give Calliope a sock (second day; occurs everywhere - in dorm room, in a hall, during the runes exam, etc.), Warthogs crashed with such a message:

An error has occured. Please contact the game author for support, as this is likely to be a scripting error and not a bug in AGS. (ACI version 3.21.1115)
in "GlobalScript.asc", line 451
Error: one of the string arguments supplied was not a string

What should I do with that?..

What version of the game are you playing? There should be a version number on the title screen, and if there isn't any, then you're in 1.0. The current version is 1.7. Also, are you using a translation and if so, which one?

Version is 1.7 (downloaded yesterday, should be new as possible =) I play it in English, it even does not ask me of preferred translation, as Heroine's Quest does.

Hi there. I was recently made aware of the Draconis beta, and I was wondering where to go if I wanted to submit my custom level for it.
Should I leave the .txt here, or is there another method?

Also, if I may ask, how is Draconis coming along?

You are welcome to post your level here.

That said, Draconis is being envisioned as a larger game with more object types, an internal level editor, and a storyline about the titular dragon. So the currently downloadable version isn't entirely representative any more. Keep an eye on our Patreon feed for ongoing news on the topic.

I have a Mac and I support Caravel by buying the Mac versions of their games.

Smaller developers like CS probably can't afford to put in the effort to make their games cross-platform, so they ask us to run them under emulation or Boot Camp. I don't like it either. But it's the dev's choice, given their limited resources and the priorities they choose. :(

The Mac version is still something we want to do, and if we can get it to work it would apply to almost all of our games at the same time. That said, yes, we are rather busy with lots of things, so we cannot promise a specific date.

But if you have experience getting things to work on a Mac, we would love to have your input. We're talking about the AGS engine, which is available at http://adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/

Since there is such a topic, I thought I'd ask a question "by the way". It is said on the web that these are short games. How short are they in terms of number of places (individual screens)?

About half a dozen. But that's not really a meaningful figure :)

We have started a Greenlight campaign to get three of our adventure games published on Steam: Starship Quasar, Larry Lotter, and Quest for Yrolg. For anyone who's played these before, these are the 'deluxe' versions with updated and higher-resolution graphics, new soundtrack, and professional voice acting.

If you've enjoyed these games, please support us at our Greenlight page. Please spread the word, and thank you for your time!

Also, we've got a Portuguese version of Infinite Monkeys available, and Japanese version of Errand. The above Steam bundle includes new translations of Starship Quasar into Dutch, French, and Polish. We are always on the lookout for new translations, so if you're interested in helping, please drop me us line.

Very nice! I just purchased it.

Make sure you put a news post in your Heroine's Quest feed so people who "own" that game on their Steam account see the announcement.

After finishing the game "Quest for Yrolg" in english I just started the game and selected german language to see how that looks.

However in several words the german sharp s "ß" is omitted in the introduction.

"With great pleasure!" is translated to "Mit dem größten Vergnügen!" - just that the ß is not displayed.
Same for "aufspießen" which is displayed as "aufspie en".

The 3rd hero, the sorceress is translated to "Hexe". However Hexe in german would better fit for "Witch" in english. A sorceress could be a "Zauberin".

Funny, I did that translation more than 10 years ago. Nice to see someone still finds errors :-)

I can do another round of proof reading, but I don't have the original script anymore. So if the developer sends it over, I can give it a shot.

However, I cannot fix the font issue.

german language game:
In the dialogue with the dragon one of the choices is
"I´m going to kill someone!" translated to "Er werde jemanden töten!". As the imp is saying that he is going to kill someone in direct speech to the Dragon "Ich werde jemanden töten!" would fit better.

Thanks for noticing. Yes, I can send you the script if you give me your e-mail. I'll have to check what's up with the font, too.

If no ß is possible in the font, simply replace it by two s.
The german ß is named the "sharp s" and is, for example in crosswords written as ss.
Aufspießen --> Aufspiessen.

Hello, I was the translator for the German version of Quasar around 11 years ago. After playing the German version of Quasar, I noticed many mistakes I made back then.

I would like to fix the German translation for you.
