Story
At 56 you took a chance on this undercover detective job! Maybe you are too old for this... There's something going on in northern parts of Sweden and you are here to uncover it all. As a undercover you need to maintain your normal delivery job and help out those living in outposts scattered around while you investigate the death of a courier.
You think, easy.... nope there is a lot to keep track on like ammo, food, cold, dangerous animals... and to win the game, all outpost has to give you 5 star rating and you have to advance to max level(5) and XP (99) and solve the story and do all this before you get too old and die ;) ps. You're already old...

8080,I like the game a lot, however it needs a map.
It is no fun without it.
Thanks!, I thought of it a lot, but as you play you pretty quick learn approximately where things are, I think game would be way too easy and quickly loose it's fun with a map! Am I wrong? (I'll think about it...)
I'm to add a compass function, so I'm thinking a lot how to add one... it be like a map without the map, as you visit a location it will be added to your compass so next time you can use compass to guide you to the location ;), single key to select location and compass guides you... ;) we will see how it goes...
I got stuck on a door of an outpost, unable to exit, it kept going back to the outpost.
I have started to edit the graphics some, I wish I could add some more frames for the player character for a nicer walk. Message me if some updated graphics is something you want, else I’ll just keep them for my game haha.
I found a cheat, if you use joystick and keyboard at the same time you can move super fast.
Pressing the ESC key in the outpost menu freezes the game.
I run out of bullets… guess I need to be more careful haha.
hmmm, I'll check cheat & bugs ;) Give me a link and I can always take a peek ;) and thanks for the input !!!
I think I got stuck on the door because I was using the “run fast cheat”. Can I extend the palette, or is this set?
no, game uses dual plane mode, 16 colors, the top plane is for snowing so all 16 on this one is not well used ;)
Now with v1.02 the game doesn't function anymore on any of my emulators. Not on winuae nor on batocera.
It runs on my winuae & fs-uae, what happens or not?
The graphics are not correct, the text on the screen is all garbled up like it is just random letters or a foreign language i cannot decipher.
try v1.03
1.03 works now, thank you.
The whdload version however doesn't, it says that the slave has an update, after which it chrashes, but that could be a problem with my winuae setup, so that is okay.
cool!
I do not have real HW, I'm running it on FS-UAE
I've put up a v1.01 Demo...anyone with screen glitch test it ?
1.01 is working now on my real A1200+68060, thanks. Only when running natively though, the WHDL is still broken, but that's ok. BTW, the joystick button doesn't work in station menu or for skipping messages. Have to use spacebar for that.
thanks for input, new version on the works
Seems like nobody is able to get the game running without severe screen glitchesEdit: fixed in v1.01

link broken?
I have no complains about it.Aready post about it in your discord account but no reply.
In my case the screen game its completly corrupted :(
hmmm I need to check this issue, what are you running on ?
Already run in WB 3.1.4(RTG and AGA LowRes, WB 3.9(RTG and AGA LowRes), in Raspberry Pi 5 with AmiKit 12,8, PC with WinUAE, with various resolutions. Change from 320x200 and 320x256 with the P key. No luck!!
I Have some real Amigas but not tested on it.
When start the game, the first screen says "Hold on, loading..." and appear normal, the next game screen appears corrupted.
Think the problem is that the resolution is not correct.
Some Blitz Basic games do not send a screen requester to use their resolutions and just draw displaying their native resolution on the current screen without requesting a mode change.
v1.01 fix issue
The link is working for me, but the thread is named "Norrland AGA" and is on "Support.Games" section on EAB.
hmmm I need to check this issue, what are you running on ?
I am having the same graphics corruption. “Works on my machine” probably isn’t the nicest response lol
I'm running it on fs-uae and have no real Amiga :(. what are you running on ?
WinUAE and Amiberry and Vampire V4 SA. Latest patch works now :) Thanks. WHDLoad version still has graphical issues though.
thanks for input, new version on the works, I think I missed updating WHDL version.... so many versions ;)
Why do you refuse to upload this to Aminet so every AmigaOS user can download and enjoy it?
I have uploaded stuff on Aminet, I'll put a demo there when it's ready... and refuse is wrong word, it's a hassle to upload anything to Aminet, old tools is required and good knowledge on Aminets requirements so you make sure you don't need to update anything
Fair enough, and thank you for your reply. I'll make sure to look for the demo once it's available. Thank you in advance.
Demos uploaded ! both Itch and Aminet
Wow, that was fast. I clearly misjudged you. I apologize, and hope that the demo will be well received. Again, thank you.
As a middle aged man who grew up in the 1980's Norrland I very much approve this game.
Thanks! ;)
Very original.
When I could buy it?
Thanks. I think next month Mars it should be ready
Will wait.
Thanks and good work :)
WOW superb idea! Much luck I am picking this up for sure.Much luck in development!
thanks!
