The point is to show it can be done, and there is nothing in theory stopping this system being used with fabby high resolution graphics in SMSQ/E.

Congrats!
It has a very good graphics taste. I prefer it than hyper modern realistic one.
That is a nice compromise with retro taste!
And your demo to mix text adventures with graphics is successful! :)

Thanks Popopo, your comments are appreciated :)

I think the graphic style suits the less serious type of adventure. It wouldn't be right for a horror game like The Curse of Rabenstein though! (Shame that's not available on the QL)

I'm finding creating graphics challenging but fun.

Cheers,
Alan
