Ordered :mrgreen:
VIC 20 version of course. It wasn't clear if the game is already available, or it will be sent as soon as they produce a first batch. Will surely play the adventure with your music streaming.

Is there a real compass in linen bag in the box? Wow, feelies are getting precious :D

Congratulations on the excellent soundtrack 👍, will write back as soon as the box arrives.

Great!!! Thank you! I think it is the second thing: it will be sent as soon as they produce a first batch. I hope the game will arrive soon, but just in case be patient if you have to wait a little longer.

I had the idea of the compass, but I don't really know what Sebastian has chosen, exactly. I hope it works 8)

I just bought a copy, too (VIC-20, of course), because I'm currently obsessed with interactive fiction. I do not have a disk drive, so good thinking on the microSD card!

I was curious about the compass, too. That was always a cool thing that Infocom did, the inclusion of physical objects. I still have a DON'T PANIC button from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy game. Unfortunately, I've irresponsibly lost the microscopic space fleet and peril-sensitive sunglasses. 8)

I hope the game will be shipped soon. Best thing is to be prepared to be patient, though.

I wrote another piece of music: Gardens of Varenna:

Lovely, charming, atmospheric music. Congratulations on this. You're a guy with 360° interests in life: artist, musician, writer, programmer, graphics creator, scientific divulgator, and electrical engineer (did I miss something? Old cars expert and collector? :)). Chapeau.

New piece of music: Saint Michael (Lauda Sion):

https://soundcloud.com/user-375194295/s ... lauda-sion

Emilia, the hero of the game, at one moment has to climb to the Saint Michael's Abbey, in Piedmont. It is an astonishing monument, whose foundations were laid more than one thousand years ago. The end of the piece is an harmonization of a fragment of the well-known Lauda Sion sequence, sung in three voices and accompanied by instruments.

Been there. Impressive place. Will listen to the music tomorrow.

Unfortunately not. I know Sebastian has started distributing the Amiga version a few weeks ago, but I have no news for the other versions.
