The Gate

"The Gate" is an adventure game developed specifically for the Amiga classic, since it is in development phase (started in September 2023) I will specify the requirements at a later stage but I think that at least an Amiga 1200 will be required due to the its CPU power.

LAST UPDATED : 27 August 2024

You are a detective called to investigate about a missing person, all begins receiving an email with a job offer, something not usual with a pretty strange request.

DIALOGUE SYSTEM

The game features a advanced dialogue system with scriptable dialogues, actors can have a portrait with several face expressions.

Dialogues can be dynamic: depending on events, situations and previous dialogues , they can vary.

TERMINALS

The gate is filled with terminals that can be hacked or used to interact with devices.

Each terminal is driven by a script the is used to mimic a real terminal: here is a video of a terminal with a sample script:
