If you appreciated #SilkDust, the game that I recently released as an open source project, you may also appreciate the original music I wrote for it. Here is a video of a #RevoxB77 reel to reel tape recorder playing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI_uF-8gJH4 #TextAdventure #music #mastoart #reel2reel #opensource #noai #indie

I updated the #MSX version of #SilkDust to 1.0.3, so that the bug is corrected in this version, too 😊 #indiegaming #retrocomputing #TextAdventure

I just corrected the same bug in #SilkDust for the #RC2014, #CPC6128 and #CP/M.

I just corrected a bug on the Spectrum version of Silk Dust that prevented the player to finish part 2 of the game. I suspect the same bug affects other Z80 platforms. Stay tuned! https://darwinne.itch.io/silk-dust #indiegame #TextAdventure #correction #Z80 #z88dk #ZXSpectrum #retrocomputing #SilkDust #InteractiveFiction

Someone reported a bug on #SilkDust. It appears only in the versions of the game where all the parts are spliced together in a single executable (Amiga, Macintosh, Atari ST, etc.).
The game can be finished, but there is an object that is not shown in the inventory (but can still be used) and there are some quite misleading messages. If you are stuck in part 2 read this: https://itch.io/post/12785724 #TextAdventure #IndieGame #retrocomputing #Amiga #Mac68k

I created a video with the Revox B77 playing my Silk Dust soundtrack. I hope you'll like it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI_uF-8gJH4. #music #retrocomputing #AnalogAudio #RevoxB77 #IndieMusic #composer #VintageAudio #MagneticRecording #tape #reel2reel #SilkDust #TextAdventure #MastoArt

I'm considering to prepare a small run (50-ish) of compact #cassettes of the #music I wrote for #SilkDust and propose them for.a small fee + shipping. Of course, you would continue to be able to stream the music: https://soundcloud.com/user-375194295/sets/silk-dust-soundtrack or download it: https://darwinne.itch.io/silk-dust-original-soundtrack Maybe run a GoFundMe campaign? After all, if it very successful, it may even include a #vinyl pressing (more expensive). #composer #IndieMusic #orchestral #PhysicalMedia If you have any advice, I'd love to hear from you

It took a while, but I finally managed to recap and calibrate my old tape deck, source a decent metal tape #cassette and record the #SilkDust original soundtrack on a cassette. Dolby C works perfectly and the result is excellent, far above what I used to get when I recorded my music on the same deck almost thirty years ago. https://on.soundcloud.com/VLRwka7p2PoJkqx39 #analogAudio #IndieMusic

I decided to upload the bonus #track of the #SilkDust #soundtrack on #soundcloud, so that it can be freely streamed. It is called Turin Suite and it is a #piano with full #orchestra piece. I hope you'll enoy! #music #mastoart https://soundcloud.com/user-375194295/12-turin-suite-bonus-track

Let’s play #SilkDust on the lovely #Olivetti Echos 48!

After #SilkDust, here is the web version of The Queen's Footsteps running in the browser. If you think you'd like a steampunk #TextAdventure taking place in the 1904 Italy, have a try: http://davbucci.chez-alice.fr/varie/queen/web/ #IndieGame #TheQueensFootsteps #InteractiveFiction

I need a feedback. I added a button to show the virtual keyboard on phones. It's shows an icon of a smartphone (📱). Unfortunately, it does not work on iPhones as it uses the VirtualKeyboard interface, not (yet?) available on Safari. Can someone let me know if it works on Android devices? http://davbucci.chez-alice.fr/varie/silk/web/silk_dust.html #HelpNeeded #Android #SilkDust #Indiedev #TextAdventure

I added a few buttons for the most common actions in the web version of #SilkDust. #IndieGame #GameDev #InteractiveFiction #TextAdventure. Let me know if you like them. If you have ideas about how to improve the interface, let me know.

It has not been trivial (and the code still sucks in some places), but here is the first beta version of #SilkDust running in a web page. It is still not perfect for mobile devices as it expect a keyboard. It also does not support copy/paste. But it kind of works 😍

Well, having #SIlkDust running on the browser creates some interesting problems to solve. It would be utterly impossible to #TextAdventure set in 1907 Italy written with a font that has been created in England in 1932. #gamedev #typesetting #GameDev

HOLY COW! I think it works! 😍 Here is the first screenshot of #SilkDust playable in a browser. It is extremely basic, but it works! I still have plenty of problems to solve, but at least it is clearly feasible! #GameDev #IndieGame #javascript #emscripten #TextAdventures

You can also support me by streaming my #music from #Soundcloud, it's completely free. Here is the #soundtrack I wrote for #SilkDust, a text adventure game I wrote for #retrocomputers: https://soundcloud.com/user-375194295/sets/silk-dust-soundtrack Her is the last piece of music I wrote, called #NewStar: https://soundcloud.com/user-375194295/new-star

I created a discount for my #music on Itch.io that will be active for a single day the 25th of August. If you want to support me as a #composer, you can benefit of a -50% discount and a convenient bundle comprising the #SilkDust #soundtrack and #NewStar for a very convenient price: https://itch.io/s/100231/august-2023-creator-day-and-sale

The Silk Dust original #soundtrack is available with a 50% discount for a limited time on Itch: https://darwinne.itch.io/silk-dust-original-soundtrack Hurry up!!! #music #indiemusic #gamedev #textadventure #silkdust #newmusic

If you have listened to all the #SilkDust soundtrack, what about a little review? What is your favourite piece and why? #indiemusic #soundtrack

ANNOUNCEMENT: You can download the #AIFF and #FLAC (high quality) version of the #SilkDust original soundtrack on #Itch for a small fee: https://darwinne.itch.io/silk-dust-original-soundtrack #soundtrack #indiemusic #indiegame Includes a bonus track (Turin Suite) and labels for #Cassette, #CD and #MiniDisc.

I received some boxes from #PolyPlay
of #SilkDust. As usual, the content is magnificent 😍

By the way, this is a screenshot of the Logic project of Turin Suite, the bonus piano+orchestral piece that will be included in the archive. #soundtrack #indiemusic #SilkDust

I'm about to prepare the files for the #SilkDust downloadable #soundtrack that will be available on http://Itch.io for a small fee. I wonder what would be the best format for them. #music #indie #retrogaming https://soundcloud.com/user-375194295/sets/silk-dust-soundtrack

Just a few words about this project: I wrote several #textadventure games for many #8bit and #16bit machines in the past. Some of them have won awards and are available with a physical distribution in a nice box. Their digital distribution is available completely free of charges: https://darwinne.itch.io I recently spent a few months writing #music and an almost complete #soundtrack for my game #SilkDust: https://soundcloud.com/user-375194295/sets/silk-dust-soundtrack #indiemusic #indiegame

A new piece of music for #SilkDust is ready. It is called Mediterranean Sunset and if you have played the game you know what this is about (I can't spoil): https://soundcloud.com/user-375194295/mediterranean-sunset?in=user-375194295/sets/silk-dust-soundtrack #indiemusic #soundtrack #textadventure #vintagecomputing

I just realized that one of my #music pieces, Villa Briccorosso has reached 199 listens on #soundcloud! I'im happy to see that the 200 target is now sooooo close 😍 #indiemusic

Of course, there is the whole playlist dedicated to my #TextAdventure game #SilkDust. If you haven't done it yet, listen to it as much as you want! I hope you'll enjoy!

New #indiemusic for #SilkDust, called #Varenna Suite. This time is a piece for full #orchestra. It was quite a challenge to write this one! https://soundcloud.com/user-375194295/varenna-suite?in=user-375194295/sets/silk-dust-soundtrack

I published a new piece of #Music for my #TextAdventure #SilkDust. It is called Steam Pressure and the style is slightly more electronic than the previous pieces. Hope you will like it! https://soundcloud.com/user-375194295/steam-pressure?in=user-375194295/sets/silk-dust-soundtrack

A few days ago I have been again at the Sacra di San Michele, an incredible place. Emilia Vittorini goes there at one moment in #SilkDust. If I let again Emilia come there in a game, it will be at night, it is so suggestive! #SacraDiSanMichele. #TextAdventure I wrote a piece of #music for it: https://m.soundcloud.com/user-375194295/st-michael-lauda-sion
