Hoshi wo Sagashite... (Searching the Stars) (MK3) [started 3-30-04]
Hoshi wo Sagashite is a sci-fi text-adventure game for the Sega Mark III. It begins when the main character takes a vacation to visit his girlfriend and buys her an egg as a present. The egg hatches into a creature called a "Mio". You must discover what a Mio is, how to care for it.
The game uses a command selection system where you pick actions like "view" or "use", and point an arrow on the screen to select the target choice. It's a pretty good system for an adventure game. The game is worth playing for it's unconventional story that seems to include multiple endings.
Many thanks to Paul Jensen for additional translation/editing and sharing his unfinished work on the game with me.
04-13-08 Seeking technical help with this project. I belive that Chris had made quite a bit of progress with this. If you are interested in trying to pick up from where he left off you may want to contact Sky Render at www.rpgone.net.
8-19-04 This project has been handed over to Chris for the time being. Some great progress has been made in re-inserting the translated menu and intro text. The intro and menu have both been hacked for text space/placement successfully. An English title screen has also been designed. Still left is the insertion of the main dialog and title screen, as well as the finding/dumping/translating of text in two easter egg screens, and any bug-squashing/play testing needed.
