Will the VIC-20 version be announced here when it's ready for purchase?

Hi guys !

Due to some technical problems and lack of time the VIC20 version of Athanor is delayed to unknown date.

Of course the C64 version is still available!

:( He should have programmed the VIC version in the first place...
Athanor is a great adventure, so I'll stop be hoping for a VIC implementation before the end of the year!

Hi Orion70

And dry your tears, Athanor Vic20 will be available this year !
We prefer delayed the game to solve this music problem rather than propose the vic20 version without musics.

Thanks for your comments and interest !

:D I'm tapping on a tablet, the correct sentence was: I'll still be hoping for a VIC implementation...
Thanks Atlantis, can't wait for it!

I'm playing this game now, but is seems strange. One frustrating part is that many directions in the game are not logical...i.e. if you exit a room by going south, then go north, you do not end up in the room you came from. Many times to go back to the north room, you have to go south. This happens for over 50% of the directions of travel in the game, so my map is a frustrating spaghetti diagram. It seems hard to believe it was designed this way, and makes me want to take a pass on it, even though I am stubborn and will usually play a game until the end.

I also try to talk to the monk in the library and it gives me an error message like "UNKNOWN ID".
There also does not appear to be a save feature.

Perhaps I downloaded an early beta version. Too bad because I was looking forward to this graphically impressive game.

Has anyone else played this game?

This game INDEED is great and impressive, but I have also noticed that there may be a mess with the directions, like you wrote above...
As the author says, there isn't a SAVE feature (too bad), I was also wondering how can I look to my inventory, the usual "I" command does not function...
:roll:
Anyway, this is a really nice piece of software for the VIC...
