wow just checked out jewel, really cool work. never seen anything like it! hope we get to play the real thing some day! would love to help out with a bit of ansi gooness if you need it some day
Thanks, Nitron! So glad to hear you liked it.
I've made some good progress on it after leaving it alone for like 5-6 years. Changing to 8x4 ANSI tiles has made it playable in a normal terminal, unlike the older version that used 16x16 tiles and only worked well in 132x60 mode.
The whole Jewel Mountain project was my daughter Jadzia's idea. I procrastinated after the initial experiments anf we never really achieved anything playable before she died in 2020.
Anyway, my daughter Josie is interested, and now if we can nail down some good ideas for story/game, maybe we can start making this a reality.
