    Why pay, when it will be 100% free!?!? :)

    The "word" will come from me. It's an indie game. No financial budget, only the eager to bring back an old school game to life which I spent hours... days... weeks... on to master. I never succeeded and neither will you. It's that hard, hehe...
    ( But I dare ya' )

    Progress status:
    + Scripting engine 100% ported.
    + Layout started (i.e. the graphical interface on top of the text based engine), 25% ported.

    I'd say that the overall progress is about 70-75% done.

    To be honest I'm really glad to see some guys looking forward to the final result. I'll dedicate all spare time and possible nights to this!

    Sorry for the late release, still in progress. IPhone development not the same as Android and I'm still struggling with the O-C language, X-Code crap.

    Now "also" have to split free time between kids, wife, regular job, hobby game programming and remodeling the kitchen etc.
    ( Thus, "Masquerade Deluxe" port gets the better of the above. :) )

    Please, don't give up hope! It's an odd game, one of it's kind, but a least it's 100% FREE !

    Current progress for those who have interest in the game:

    - All code ported from Android version, except the background music handler.
    - Game "almost" playable. Bugs/Crashes which still occur, when solved will untie knots throughout the engine. Not much left...
    - Currently working on -delete of save games, -nested items (i.e. items containing items.. think wallet (game hint now revealed, hehe!)) and -auto save.
    - User friendly interaction of the virtual keyboard.

    So with this said, I'm posting the "screen of the day". :D
    Please be patient (I'm alone using spare time on this one...)!
    BUT, I haven't come this far without an actual release. Estimated progress indicates a fishing for beta testers in late March.

    Interest seem to be low on this one but it doesn't matter, it was something I had to do regardless.
    It's a freebee from an indie/hobby developer and 100% free so interest factor doesn't matter, game submitted yesterday anyway to appstore.
    For those really interested, if it gets rejected it might be a little while longer, rejected again and game will be distributed upon request only, i.e. among "friends"!

    Happy adventurin'

    I agree with this and off topic and no idea if it has been said (didn't feel like surfing through all the pages) but "No Rhyme or Reason" would make a killer title for a game lol.

    But yea I want to give this a shot as it would be the first I played in this genre... (I guess I'm a text based adventure virgin lol)
