@Tuvok Quote: Your screenshot is all wobbly: I hope it's just a matter of grabbing and not how you actually see the game. Anyway, if you press [F1] any time a screenshot of the interal graphics will be saved to T: (for completeness, [F2] captures a screenshot of the graphics actually shown, instead; these are game features).

@328gts Thanks for choosing another of my games for the compo! @AmigaOldskooler Quote: AmigaOldskooler wrote:
Can't believe I've never played KOG before! Well, it's an obscure game that never got much exposure, so not many know it. Quote: This one is very fun to play, and it runs smooth as butter. Excellent sound effects and music too! Will definitely make a purchase later.  Glad you like it! A little backstory... This game was born during the development of BOH: I thought I'd use the BOH skin system(*) and rotation routine (it's software-only) as the core of another game and somehow came up with the game concept. As a consequence, the development of BOH halted for the time needed to make KOG (2 or 3 months). Since I felt guilty and I really should have resumed the work on BOH, instead of making new music (which would have required additional time), I decided to reuse the music of MAH, so what you get to hear are snippets sampled from the original SID music. (*)Initially KOG was 100% skinnable, but when I overhauled it in 2017, 9 years after the initial release, I dropped that.

@Tuvok Quote: Yeah, I knew exactly where it was! I haven't managet to get to the same level again. Yet. Good luck with your next attempts! Quote: p.s. by the way a while back I read a thread of yours about some hacking attempts on your itchio webpages. You mentioned someone paid bud did not download. That particular thing might have been me. No worries: it was not a single case but 35, and not downloading is not a problem - in other words, it wasn't you ;) Just for the record: they were not hacking attempts.

No problem, I did see your triple smile! I just seized the chance to let everybody know that care must be taken to not run out of keys.

Oh, that was so close. I was missing keys as well. And it looks like the same stage. Maybe there is a bug :D :D :D No bug, you must have wasted a key by opening unnecessarily a door along the way ;)

The AmigaOS 4 versions of Blastaway, BOH and KOG were a bit behind with respect to the Windows versions due to the fact that at some point my AmigaOne stopped working and I could no longer compile them. Lately I finally got around to install qemu and produce updated executables. The games are available for pay-what-you-want (even as little as 0) download from https://www.retream.com / https://retream.itch.io as usual. Many thanks to 328gts for testing the executables on his X1000. Blastaway v1.6 * Avoided redundant operations when a video/pixel mode change requires a re-initialization of the screen/window. BOH v2.5 * Fixed resuming of the sounds of tiles clusters (e.g. moving floors) after unpausing the game, which caused them to remain always active at maximum volume. * Removed contact email address from executable. KOG v2.10 * Avoided redundant operations when a video/pixel mode change requires a re-initialization of the screen/window. * Removed contact email address from executable.

COUNTERNOTICE The change was of no use, as other 5 fradulent purchases followed (they're 35 in all now). Hence, I have restored the URL https://retream.itch.io/gemdalus now.

NOTICE Due to the continuing fraudulent purchases, I changed the URL of Gemdalus to https://retream.itch.io/gemdalusaga. The game page is gettings hundreds of hits per day, but in the last 2 days only 2 fraudulent purchases succeeded, so itch.io must have set up a filter. If anybody tries to buy the game but can't manage to, please let me know so that I can report it to itch.io.

Yes, but the people scammed are no less than 28. And the objective is not the game, but retrieving the name and address of the people scammed.

hopefully itch.io can track down the spam bots or A.I nonsense that’s going on I wish it were just nonsense! This is clearly somebody who stole the codes of multiple (28 so far) credit cards and is abusing them. For some reason, it seems that Gemdalus is the only game being exploited (no other game of mine is affected and, moreover, I've asked on itch.io, but got no response).

@khayoz Quote: I bought and downloaded MAH for the C64 now and made a donation for Gemdalus! Oh, your donation was really generous! Thanks a lot! Check out your email for the download key ;) I wish you lots of fun with the games! @all Please note that the method of buying another game and adding a donation for Gemdalus had to be dropped because it turned out that Gemdalus could not be downloaded even by who already had a key (see post #21).

@joerg Thanks for the suggestions, but I don't handle the payments directly, as I just have a page on itch.io - so, it's all up to them. They told me that they have reported the frauds to the credit cards providers. It's up to them to take action against who stole the credit card information.

The purchases follow this scheme:
* the email address is <name><surname><number>@gmail.com (the first 11 times there were also dots separators);
* the payment is made by credit card via Stripe;
* the card holder name (sometimes with the address) is exposed on the invoice (unlike on the invoices of the regular purchases I've checked for comparison);
* the card holder name does not match the one in the email address;
* the card holder is from the US;
* the IP is from some other country;
* the payments is of $5 (the minimum amount);
* the game is not downloaded.
My guess is that some hacker stole the credit cards information and makes low-value purchases to get the card holders names and addresses for bigger frauds.

For the record, a couple of hours ago there was another fraudulent purchase: so, the fact that the game is now pay-what-you-want didn't solve the issue. I just can't do anything about it (apart from reporting the purchases to itch.io, but they react very slowly - in fact, at the moment there are 6 purchases to be cancelled) and I'm utterly annoyed.

UPDATE
I've been told that also who already bought the game could no longer download it. It looks like there's no effective way to deal with this issue.
Given that Gemdalus and QUOD INIT EXIT IIo were the only paid-for games and that my other projects were not affected, I have now changed the payment model to pay-what-you-want: who bought the game can now download it again and, hopefully, the game will no longer be targeted by the scammers. See it as an early Christmas sale not to be missed ;)

IMPORTANT! Due to the fact that GEMDALUS HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO FRAUDULENT PURCHASES (all duly reported to itch.io), THE PURCHASE OPTION HAS BEEN DISABLED. To obtain a download key, please buy another RETREAM game making an extra donation of at least 3 USD and send an email to contact@retream.com from the same address used for the purchase. Note: the original price was 5 USD. https://retream.itch.io/gemdalus
