Although all of the boxed editions of the game have sold out, you can still buy the digital version on July 1 here: https://doublesidedgames.com/shop/commo ... f-quest-v/

Here are some photos of the cloth map, manual and medallion!

Well, digital download was added to my order, but when I access the downloads section, clicking on the zip file in order to download echoes this:
Error 403 - Forbidden
You tried to access a document for which you don't have privileges.
:( :( :(

I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble downloading the digital version. I’ve notified Double Sided Games about this issue.

They should tag the download to each account on order, but evidently something went amiss, the same happened to a few people for Abaye Des Morts iirc. Download fine for the physical version I purchased.

Thank you for the endorsement! Yes, a lot of people are not fans of the aging mechanic in RPGs, or draining, or acid that destroys your equipment—pretty much anything that will cause permanent loss for characters that people have made an emotional investment in. The nice graphics will draw in the casual player in, only for them to only find out that I’m a cruel and autistic RPG rules munchkin :) (the gameplay reflects that)

And halfway through the making of this game I had asked myself if people would notice that their own player characters age while the townspeople don’t. In fact, those little girls and boys never seem to grow up either. It’s a mystery...

Did you actually capture the video from your CRT monitor? It looks beautiful.

I assume you're the person that sent me an email during the night and that now can download the game properly? :)

A quick note to everyone that bought the game: thanks A LOT for your support, thanks to you projects like this can happen!
Bear in mind that I'm a one man operation with a day job, two kids and a 6h time difference with Western Europe, I'm trying to do my best to help you all as fast as I can :oops:

It's really us thanking you for your great job. My problem with the digital version is now solved, and I can't wait to have the magic box here in Italy. Til then, thanks again and all the best for your brand!

I am completely in awe of this project. I hope the new C64 release (with the VIC mode) brings attention to VIC 20 projects. I would love to see this as one of the first examples of why people should explore that VIC mode.
