When c64 version ?

Too many other projects in mind, sorry. :(

Fantastic! Thank you for Linux support!

I answer once for all your posts: now that I can compile for Linux, it's a pleasure to do it. ;)

Lovely game, was my favorit game of all time on the C64 together with Fort Apocalypse. Glad you made a PC version : )  Unfortunately I can't get the sound to work or the fullsceen mode (but that's not a big deal). The sound however just came on a few seconds (quite impressive though) and then whent away. Tried all the buttons, restarting the computer and so on but only silence remains. I have win 10 and usually have no problems with PC games, am I doing something wrong? 

This is the first time anyone has told me they are having problems with the audio. Two possibilities come to mind: 1 - During gameplay, try pressing F1/F2 to adjust the sound effects volume and F3/F4 for the music volume (see if it changes anything). 2 - Try updating OpenAL-Soft

Found that the sound works if I don't press F12 for fullscreen, so it's probably my computer that's a little old. Will try the update you suggested otherwise it might be time to invest in a new computer. Thanks for reply and an absolutely magical game, really love it : )

According to what you describe, it might not just be an audio problem, so I recommend you try updating OpenGL for graphics as well.

I'll try that, thanks : )

I loved the game, but I couldn't play it on the controller, I tried one from 8bitdo ultimate and another from Xbox Series and nothing happened.

Are there chances that you pick up that game again and release it for the C64?

Not for the moment, sorry.

OK, thanks for replying. Your other games are great as well.

Thank you so much.

I really love this remake, and also the first H.E.R.O. is Back remake! The only suggestion I would make is to make the caverns different colors in each level, just like they were in the first H.E.R.O. is Back remake. Either that, or give the option to play using the original C64 graphics like in the first remake.

A level editor would also be sweet.

But besides that, these two remakes are awesome!!

First of all, I'm really happy that you like these two games!!

Regarding HERO is Back 2, the walls of the caves are already of different colors depending on the level, but, by graphic choice, the colors are rather dark and dull, so the difference is not so marked.

As for the level editor, it would be a significant additional job and given that the game, in 2 and a half years, has been downloaded less than 600 times and I have received donations for only 16 dollars, it is evident that the game is not so liked by most of the players, so it's not worth it. If I ever made a level editor, I would make the game downloadable for a fee, but this is not possible because the rights of the original game are reserved and I would be infringing the copyright.

600 downloads vs 16 dollars? What's wrong with people?

Just because people download the game doesn't mean they actually like it and play it. I imagine this is the reason for the low donations. So, given the lack of interest in my PC games, I doubt I'll make any more in the future.

I'm with ya. I've just started playing this and it's really well done. Would think it should have a lot more traction. Convinced me to go back and get HERO is back also. I've been playing both a lot over the last couple days. Maybe we just need to get the word out more on these. I didn't even know about itch.io until I started looking for my theC64 games and now am discovering a lot of really cool titles. I was pretty much just getting most everything from Steam or some older games on GOG.

Thank you for your support and for appreciating my work. I realize that my PC games have low visibility, but I don't know how to increase it. I've posted videos of all my games on YouTube and Rumble. I left comments on videos about retro games indicating the link to my page on itch.io. I wouldn't know what else to do. If the situation doesn't change, I will continue to make games for C64 (and maybe, who knows, for Amiga), since they give me much more satisfaction.
Anyway, thanks also for your donations for both of my versions of HERO! 👍

such a good remake !! many thanks for the good work and intact feeling, dude ;)

Really thank you for appreciating!

Thanks to you.

very good
