Curse Of The Keys (C64-Remake) - 0.9.5

Good remake of C64 game.

Nice game, would be nice if there was more to do at first than just building up as much gold/rations and troops as possible though...

sorry for that, it's fixed now...

The download link is broken. And on homepage only 0.9.2 can be downloaded through all links.

Thank you! I will keep working on it!

This game is great! Please please please keep on it!
You (as you say in the game too) only need some other tile!
Check for charas-project.net charas generator!

buy the wizard early in the game, he is quite strong :)
saving will be implemented in 0.9.5
i am cleaning up the ugly code most of the time :)

Fun! Still no saving/loading? Fights are a bit hard at the beginning of the game. I kept coming up against 30 trolls and then when I ran away I lost like 5 men. :-( (Yes, I was on level 1) But it's looking good! Just needs some difficulty tweaks.

Checking it out now!

ok, calling pygame.mixer.init(abc) after pygame.init() was the problem.
i use transform.scale2x now, so the fighting-sprites now look a lot better

the music sounds nice, but when i play a sound (pygame.mixer.Sound), it sounds like crap. Has anybody a solution?

another bug:<br>
<br>
on each part of the worldmap (the new big one), there is a key<br>
will be fixed in 0.9.4<br>
<br>

if someone has better graphics (map-tiles/monster-sprites), contact me!

ok, i fixed that!
feel free to check out the new release!

Good game, but i found an bug when you get into an location and find an key you can revisit that location to get the other two keys...

since the biggest 'problem' is balancing, please let me know if you have some ideas about it. I don't know how fights/strenghts of opponents etc. were calculated in the original

thanks.
you are right, I totally forgot that, luck that it is easy to implement ;)

btw, the biggest difference to the original is the game speed.
in the c64-version, every step took ~1.5 seconds, and you could only play with at least 2 players via hotseat, which was very annoying.

Oh wow. This is quite fun now :-D It could use a save feature though.

homepage: that's true, there isn't one right now :)

1) you can (let's say: soon you will be able to) hire a Miracle Healer, which can revive some of your warriors after a battle
2) yes, there are villages (to buy warriors and rations), nomad settlements (more expensive than villages, but here you can hire followers), castles & ruins (maybe you find some gold here), and a capital city (get warriors and gold for free when you don't have any). Press space to enter and leave a city
3) No, there aren't any items (maybe later, when the 'main-game' is completed*)
4) No, you don't have a party (*)
5) Right now, yes. But that has to be changed
6) No, you have to find all three cursed keys, but you can't find them right now

* at first, this is a remake, and as soon as it is finished, I will extend it for more depth of game.

Consider that I started yesterday :)

Hmmm... I was a bit lost.

1) How do I heal?
2) Can I enter a city?
3) Can I buy items?
4) Can I switch party members?
5) Can you always evade enemies without failing?
6) Can you win the game?

Game looks promising, but it needs a readme!

For the main site, it says

I was able to download the game though.
