Thank you for pointing out that typo. It was caused by an incorrect translation from Spanish into English: the Spanish conjunction “y” was mistakenly left as “y” instead of being translated as “and”. I’ll make sure to fix it in the next update.

Thank you for playing and for your support. I’m really glad you enjoyed the adventure and the additional content. It’s very rewarding for me to know that my stories reach the player and manage to convey something meaningful. That’s what encourages me to keep writing.🙂

Hi! Thank you very much for your offer. I’m definitely interested in an Arabic translation of Wet Wings.

I’ve been talking to the developer of PunyInformES, and he mentioned that, in order to create an Arabic version of the adventure, PunyInform itself would need to be translated and adapted into Arabic, which would require quite a bit of programming work. He is willing to help you with this, but the Arabic adaptation of the library would need to be developed by you.

If that sounds good to you, I can contact you by email or Discord, whichever you prefer.

Thanks again for your interest in the game! 😊

Hi! Thanks for purchasing Wet Wings! 😊

The ZX Spectrum version requires the CP/M operating system to run.

Please note that the CP/M system disk is not included with Wet Wings. You will need to obtain a CP/M boot disk image separately. CP/M disk images for the Spectrum can be found online.

Once you have the CP/M disk:

1. Boot the CP/M operating system in your emulator.

2. Insert/mount the Wet Wings ".DSK" game disk in the appropriate drive.

3. Switch to the drive where the game disk is mounted, for example:

   "B:"

4. Type:

   "PLAY GAME"

   and press Enter.

5. Press any key to dismiss the intro screen.

Thanks for playing Wet Wings! 🪽

Hi, thank you so much for your support and for getting the game! The song “Toward the Light” was composed before I had even finished the adventure. The music was created with the help of AI, but the lyrics are entirely my own.

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it, and it means a lot to hear that you felt the game flowed so well. That was one of my main goals while designing it.

Thanks for taking the time to play it and for leaving such a kind message. Comments like yours make all the hard work worthwhile.

I hope you enjoy my future games as well!

Thanks for the review. It's perfectly fine not to enjoy the final chapter, but the city and museum are meant to be mazes, not corridors. Feeling lost is part of the experience. Also, the clock puzzle doesn't require endlessly repeating commands unless you choose to solve it that way.

The first chapters are intentionally easier as part of the game's difficulty curve, with the later sections becoming more demanding. Some players enjoy this kind of puzzle, especially mazes and navigation challenges, while others understandably do not. For those who prefer a more straightforward experience, an optional map is provided as an extra to help with navigation.

Different players enjoy different things, and that's okay. Thanks for playing all the way to the end.

Thanks for including The Morning Star in your roundup! I'm delighted you enjoyed the game. It's always great to see new text adventures getting attention on both Amiga and C64. Thanks for the support, and I wish you lots of views on the video!

Hello Sean,

Thank you for playing The Morning Star! I'm glad you're enjoying it.

No, those commands were just examples to help new players get started. The game supports additional commands as well, depending on the situation.

As a general rule, important words and actions are usually highlighted in UPPERCASE within the text. These often provide clues about the commands or interactions that are relevant at that moment.

Don't hesitate to experiment a little—the parser is designed to recognize more than just the basic commands.

Thanks for your support, and I hope you continue enjoying the adventure!

I wasn't claiming that AI is immaterial or that it has no environmental cost. My point was simply that, as a creator, I use it as a tool to help bring ideas to life.

The environmental impact of computing is a legitimate discussion, but it also applies to game engines, cloud services, streaming platforms, social media, and the devices we're all using right now. If we're talking about the costs of modern technology, that's a much broader conversation than AI alone.

Thank you! Absolutely, every bit of coverage helps, and I really appreciate the mention on Amiga News.

In fact, the Amiga version is currently the most downloaded edition of the game, so the support from the Amiga community has been incredible.

It's wonderful to see The Morning Star reaching so many people. Thanks for helping spread the word!

I'm glad updating from firmware 7f to 7g solved the problem. Thanks for taking the time to report back with the solution, it may help other CPC users who run into the same issue.

Enjoy the game!

Hi Mark, thanks for letting me know. I'll take a look at it and see what's going on. Hopefully I'll be able to reproduce the issue and fix it in the next update. Thanks for reporting it!

Hi, yes, it’s intentional. The title picture has been replaced with text in Version C.

Possibly, since DAAD Ready seems to support ULAPlus/ZX-Uno graphics, but I’d need to investigate it properly first. Right now the focus is still the standard ZX version and compatibility with original hardware.

If AI helps one person create something that otherwise would never exist, that’s a net positive for creativity. I respect people who dislike or reject AI-generated art, but I see AI as just another creative tool, no different from game engines or digital editing software. What matters to me is the final result and the passion behind the project.

Hello, can you write to me at dareinteractive@outlook.com? Thank you.

Thanks for the detailed report and for taking the time to test it across different emulators.

I’ve added a Version B DSK release that has been tested and works correctly in Fuse. For now, I’ve also restored the previous tape version while I investigate what’s going on with Fuse and the new TAP build.

And thanks as well for the loading screen suggestion :)

Hi Arnau! The game includes the BASIC source code, so it should be relatively easy to translate, always with the author’s permission, of course. Castelló a primera.

Thanks for testing it on real hardware and for taking the time to report those little details. Everything helps to keep polishing the adventure :)

The SAVE and RESTORE options are available for managing game saves and restoring progress. I’ve posted a devlog in the Spanish version of the adventure, so please leave any questions or feedback there. Thanks!

I’ve released a new Commodore 64 version. You can try it whenever you want. Thanks.

Bonjour, merci pour ton message.

Le prix de nos jeux peut être considéré comme presque symbolique ; c’est davantage une façon de reconnaître le temps et les efforts investis dans le développement qu’une réelle volonté de gagner de l’argent. Cela dépend beaucoup de la visibilité et de l’intérêt suscité par chaque jeu.

Et au passage, félicitations pour le moteur Gonnies. Je l’ai téléchargé récemment et j’espère pouvoir faire un jeu avec en anglais, car mon niveau de français est totalement nul (j’écris ceci avec ChatGPT ). Avoir des outils comme celui-ci pour créer des jeux en BASIC sur Amstrad CPC a énormément de mérite et aide à maintenir la scène vivante.

Bon courage pour tes projets CPC.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. Comments like this honestly mean a lot. I’m very happy you enjoyed Echoes of the Future and decided to support my new game too.

And yes… bugs happen sometimes. Game development can be messy, especially with retro tools and engines, but I’m glad you’re enjoying the experience anyway. Thanks again for the patience and the support!

Congratulations on this work, it looks fantastic.

Due to technical issues found in The Morning Star, I have temporarily removed the game while I work on updates and fixes.

This does not affect existing owners in any way: the game will remain available in your library and you will always be able to download it whenever you want.

In addition, as a thank you for your support and patience, everyone who purchased The Morning Star can download both the English and Spanish versions of Echoes of the Future completely free until December 31, 2026.

I hope you enjoy it, and thank you sincerely for continuing to support the project.

Gracias por jugar y por comunicar el error, lo revisaré y lo tendré en cuenta para futuras actualizaciones. Efectivamente, cuando esté la versión en español se podrá descargar gratuitamente si has adquirido la versión en inglés. 

Debido a los problemas técnicos encontrados en The Morning Star, he retirado temporalmente el juego mientras trabajo en las actualizaciones y correcciones necesarias.

Esto no afecta en ningún caso a quienes ya lo habéis adquirido: el juego seguirá estando disponible en vuestra biblioteca y podréis descargarlo siempre que queráis.

Además, como agradecimiento por vuestro apoyo y paciencia, todos los compradores de The Morning Star podréis descargar completamente gratis las versiones en español e inglés de Echoes of the Future hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2026.

Espero que lo disfrutéis y gracias de verdad por seguir apoyando el proyecto.

Hi! Thanks a lot for reporting this and for the screenshot, really helpful.

You're absolutely right, there's a missing word in that message when taking a piece of the triptych. It seems the text isn't being assembled correctly in that case.

I'll fix it for the next update.

Really appreciate you taking the time to point it out , and feel free to report anything else you notice 🙂

Thanks for the report, I’ll look into it in more depth.

Hi! Thanks a lot 😊

The illustrations are AI-generated, with some manual touch-ups and additional processing to refine the final look.

Glad you like it!

The Void is advancing, and only you can stop it. A remote village hides the truth… and the fate of those who came before you.

THE MORNING STAR, a brand new retro text adventure featuring stunning pixel art, now available on MSX, Amstrad, C64, and ZX Spectrum!

Thanks a lot for reporting this!

That sounds like it could be related to how the Retro Virtual Machine handles AZERTY keyboards rather than the game itself, especially since it works fine on the C64 version.

I'll take a look on my side and see if I can reproduce it. In the meantime, if you have a chance to try with a different keyboard layout or emulator, that would help narrow it down.

Really glad to hear you enjoyed the graphics 😊

Gracias por el apoyo! La idea es que salga también en castellano.

Thanks a lot! Hope you enjoy it ,  let me know what you think

A Spanish version of the adventure is available here.

Grazie! Per ora il gioco è disponibile in inglese e spagnolo. Non escludo una versione italiana in futuro, se ci sarà interesse.

Gracias Jade! Me alegro de que te guste el material🙂 Se agradecerán tus comentarios, como siempre.

Gracias por el apoyo compañero! Que disfrutes de Echoes of the Future al menos tanto como yo disfruté en su día escribiéndola. Un abrazo.

Gracias a tí por el apoyo! Espero que te guste la aventura, estaré encantado de leer cualquier comentario que quieras compartir🙂

Ya está disponible en castellano!
