The City of Gold - Part 1 - A cRPG adventure from Per Holmström (Grottkräl) for the Amiga

Renowned fantasy author Per Holmström—known in the indie gaming community as Grottkräl—has launched The City of Gold Part 1, a captivating new cRPG adventure developed for the Commodore Amiga. Holmström, celebrated for penning the award-winning Dragonbane adventure Drakborgen: The Secret of Ath Ungol, transitions his narrative expertise to vintage computer hardware with this immersive classic style Adventure release. A new game that features a full story, graphics and even sounds!

Set within a rich fantasy world, The City of Gold Part 1 casts players as daring explorers on an epic trek to uncover a legendary metropolis of immense wealth. The game uniquely merges a modern narrative style and user-friendly gameplay layout with the rigid boundaries of a retro software engine. Despite operating on legacy systems, the title delivers a comprehensive experience packed with an expansive storyline, custom graphics, and dedicated sound design. What makes the technical execution particularly fascinating for retro enthusiasts is its implementation of the DAAD Ready engine developed by Uto. 

• Indexed Colour Palette: Visuals are rendered entirely using a strict 16-colour limit.
• Base Database Limits: The core code of the game must fit cleanly into a compact 64kb database.
• Memory Management: The project utilizes a specialized Xmessage layout extension to squeeze an additional 64kb of capacity for narrative text and code.
