    Hi guys,

    we just started publishing our latest game.

    Here's the official web-site.
    And here you can grab the demo-version.


    morphos_advert.png

    Available for MorphOS, AmigaOS4.1 (hardware compositing), Windows and Android. iOS and OSX versions are still being reviewed.

    Here's the game's description:

    Ace Of Hearts Casino Poker is a thrilling mixture of slot machine and classic poker game. And all that with a premium casino style.

    Try your luck in the comfortable Royal Casino. Or get your kick in one of the other three time-limited game modes. How many virtual dollars can you make in the 10 minutes, 30 minutes or 24 hour challenges? Only the best players make it to the top of the world-wide online rankings!

    Place your bet and start the poker-machine. After shuffling the five cards you may chose, which ones to hold. The others are shuffled again, and then you get a last chance to make your choice. After the third and last shuffle it will turn out if your decision was a wise one - or whether all was lost... Do the cards show a typical poker hand? Well done!

    Of course this poker-machine also offers risk-games. After the classic risk-ladders not less than four mini-games are waiting for you: Blackjack, Higher/Lower, Three-Card Monte and Roulette...
    Multiply and skyrocket your win!
    And when your luck is gone for a while, don't worry: the luck-o-meter will probably help you.

    This is what you can expect from this game:

    - Poker-machine
    - premium graphics and matching authentic music and sound-effects.
    - 4 game modes (free version: 2 game modes)
    - 2 risk-ladders
    - 4 mini-games
    - 36 achievements
    - online highscores
    - game statistics
    - help for rookies (tutorials, automatic holding of good cards)

    What are you waiting for? Try it out!
    All in!

    Cheers,
    Daniel

    Judging from the title, I was so sure this was a completely MorphOS-irrelevant spam thread, but nice to be wrong :-)

    I found some gfx bugs when I tried it on my G5. Hopefully it will be fixed soon :-)

    It does look polished :-) I'm not a big card player, but I have to check it out.

    @all

    Regarding gfx glichtes.

    From Yasus report this sounds like this is an issue with the new internal power-of-two-texture-conversion. Won't go into details but it boils down to this:

    - there is a fresh version out now, customers should have received an update mail by now.

    - this new version uses the old texture mode which did work for Yasu back then when we were testing.

    - there is a new tooltype HQ_TEXTURES. Set this to 1 to enforce the new mode, which normally provides better quality textures - but obviously doesn't work for everybody.

    - and I added a readme explaining the tooltypes.

    For me both modes work well (old G4 with Radeon 9200) while HQ_TEXTURES=1 significantly enhances the gfx quality.

    I reported and explained the issue here.


    Best regards and sorry for the inconvenience,
    Daniel

    The new fix works fine on my G5. I will test both versions (the "buggy" and the fixed one) on my Ibook next :-)

    You don't need to keep the old version, the new version can do both variants. Just use the new version and toggle the HQ_TEXTURES=1 tooltype.

    Wow, really solid game!

    I had the same gfx bug on Powerbook (R9700), but it works now with correct tooltypes. On Mac mini 1.5GHz there wasn't problems.

    BTW. how is that FULLSCREENNAME supposed to work? I created new screen in MorphOS Preferences -> Screens, but it doesn't seem to use that with its name. Actually no matter what name I put to that tooltype opens same (Ambient clone?) kind of screen always. At least it opens it automatically, but I'd like to use different resolution :)

    Anyway, I'm not usually into these kinds of games, but this one is presented so well that I did order it already :)

    Good question... As it turns out it won't...
    Because it seemed to work at first glance (because a screen is opened) I actually completely missed that it was not the screen I wanted... :P
    Too bad.

    The game freezes my powerbook after the 1st mouse click. Either changing the language or clicking okay.
    After that I only here the music. No button works and I have to reboot Morphos with the Power button.
    Just tested the demo version linked in this threat.
    I have unpacked the game to ram: and tested it from there 3 times with the same result.
    I think something in my installation is broken :-(

    Sorry to hear that :-(
    Seems to be a problem with sound-fx for you. To verify that:
    is it also freezing if you only make a left mouse click on the Okay-button, keep the left mouse button down and move it out of the okay-button's area again?

    I have allways chosen a resolution and it starts in fullscreen - after that it froze. I have tried to cancel
    the requester. After that it starts in a window on Ambient - no trouble. But there comes no
    requester for screenmodes anymore - not even in the fullversion. Well strange - but its ok for me.

    By the way nice game - again :-)

    That does not freez the game. According to snoopium its my i2s.audio
    Configuration. I don't know how to geht rid oft that.
    The nosound option works good here even if it doesn't effekt the
    Sound all.
