The Galleon 25th Anniversary Edition
I am planning to make a new, boxed release of my old adventure game called "The Galleon" during the next months in limited number. Hopefully already for the Arok Party 20 in August (or until September at latest in the worst case). I have launched an Indiegogo campaign for it:

Thats one reason for why i have not set up a "patreon" page for VICE (or other things i work on) - once you take money, you have to deliver. No excuses. |

So now we have 2022 and STILL the game is not available to those who backed it, nor was there an update from the author. His last update is from 2020. I'll call this a loss now. A shame. |

Hi everyone, I've just returned to here for one more time, to close this topic, but only to announce that it goes on still under a new name (see below!). The title "The Galleon 25th Anniversary Edition" is not relevant any more, since it has been replaced with "The Galleon 30th Anniversary Edition" instead...
Indiegogo backers receive their copies out of turn, of course. (Or alternatively, if there were anyone who would rather like to cancel it, that might also be possible, as it was/is/stays always possible until the actual delivery as well, and in this case, a refund might be sent.) Some of them have already received (either from me personally, or from the new publishers, at such events like the Regamex or Arok), while some of them not yet (but will, and the last of those few ones whom we still have not contacted to yet, are in progress through e-mail at the moment, just please be patient and also sorry for the long delay, again).
The entire project has been taken over by Tuan Publishing: that is a book publisher in Hungary (known from some Warhammer 40K stuff and other fantasy titles). They are in Budapest, and it is also possible to contact to them, and receive the copies from them at their shop.
It can be found at their website:
https://tuan.hu/en/spd/a-galya/A-Galya-The-Galleon-C64-jatek
Finally, the best news that is the most relevant to the community here, is that even Protovision has become a retailer, who announce it as a new title, too, that can be found here:
https://protovision.games/shop/product_info.php?products_id=414
Please, in case there are still any questions etc. or for more details just see below:

No idea if this might boost motivation to get the final steps done or not, but I'll try to travel to Arok this year (about time to get to know how a Hungarian party feels in reality ;)).
I'd be more than happy to get a copy of The Galleon, even if it's been -rightfully- renamed by now!
Well, just got aware you wrote that you "closed the topic", but I *do* hope this message will still make it into the thread ;)
Cheers, and I keep my fingers crossed that this long-awaited game in its boxed form will finally materialize!!!

and dont thread necromance without linking to a proper CSDb entry *IMHO*
€36 for something one can hardly judge from the screenshots, further descriptions or other info. All releases were delayed from what I see here? Attention whoring. |

Yeah, I basically agree that the number of csdb-links was low.... as in: zero! All links were (most explicitly, one of'em implicitly) to commercial sites, and eventhough rosetiff's last post reads like the game is already done, there's no real evidence for it.
But I can't change it, being the mad to-the-bone-optimist, my posting's a desperate try to boost the motivation so the whole story comes to a happy end. Let's hope it works... |

You know to whom you have to deliver a backup of the original for preservation to, then :) |
