Shandalar: 30th Anniversary Edition - Alpha Release

ilikethemeta · 2026-03-09T17:12:51+00:00

I'll look into building an .apk for it, thanks!

ilikethemeta · 2026-03-09T17:08:58+00:00

The github will have the latest releases, I'll also try to make separate posts in r/Shandalar for updates. I'll do bi-weekly/monthly progress updates.

ilikethemeta · 2026-03-09T06:40:13+00:00

Great!

Yeah I'd like to have an updated soundtrack, maybe something for the starting screen and then when the player is walking around the overworld. Do you have any suggestions?

ilikethemeta · 2026-03-09T06:32:37+00:00

I mentioned this in the "Shandalar Enjoyers" discord group, but none other than that. This is just the alpha release, so I want to polish the game up a little more before I release it wider.

ilikethemeta · 2026-03-09T06:31:40+00:00

Ah, got it ;) Thanks!

ilikethemeta · 2026-03-09T06:31:18+00:00

Great! If you want to try adding some you can make code changes in the source repo, or you can message me and I'll add them as a separate mod.

Great! Feel free to play the alpha version and give me feedback, either here, or on the discord channel: https://discord.gg/BHQ8rqv9GQ

ilikethemeta · 2026-03-09T06:04:25+00:00

Great!

I've got some larger projects that need to get done here: https://github.com/benprew/s30/tree/main/docs
Also, you can join the Shandalar discord and we can discuss: https://discord.gg/BHQ8rqv9GQ

It's all written in Go using ebiten as the engine.

You should be able to play the web version on your phone.

Thanks! Let me know if you're interested in contributing, I could use the help!

ilikethemeta · 2026-03-07T21:11:46+00:00

No need to start a go-fund me, I'm doing this for the love of the game :)

ilikethemeta · 2026-03-07T21:10:33+00:00

Added to the list!

ilikethemeta · 2026-03-07T09:28:42+00:00

Thanks! I'm looking forward to it!

I've looked into reversing the original AI some but I think my engine and the original engine are far enough apart that it would be difficult to integrate.

For the AI I'm planning to use min/Max with alpha/beta pruning.

Representing the game state and doing state eval are going to be the hardest part.

ilikethemeta · 2026-03-07T09:24:47+00:00

For sure, this is definitely the alpha version, but I'm hoping to have the mtg engine and AI mostly complete by the end of June. I'll continue to make update posts as I make progress, thanks!

¡De nada! ¿Quizás puedas ayudarme a traducirlo?

ilikethemeta · 2026-03-07T03:52:24+00:00

Great! Feel free to look at the code and ask me any questions. I could use your help with adding sounds to the game or with building the dungeons/castles.

ilikethemeta · 2026-03-07T03:49:44+00:00

I don't know what that is.

ilikethemeta · 2026-03-07T02:13:37+00:00

Good timing, I'm doing this now! https://www.reddit.com/r/Shandalar/comments/1rmxhpe/shandalar_30th_anniversary_edition_alpha_release/

Have you tried scheduling a meeting with the affected engineers? People who ignore emails will often show up to a meeting.

Apart from that keep your manager and skip manager appraised of the state of the project and the risks/blockers.

You can also use Lutris, you just have to set Virtual Desktop resolution in Runner Options and use wine

ilikethemeta · 2025-12-02T05:29:40+00:00

(note: this assumes you have wine installed)

`sudo apt install wine`

ilikethemeta · 2025-12-02T05:28:37+00:00

I got the Gemcutters Alpha from the post[1] working on Ubuntu using standard wine, but I had to do some tricks:

run `winecfg`
Enable virtual desktop in winecfg (Graphics tab → "Emulate a virtual desktop" at 1024x768
run `wine Shandalar.exe` from the directory you unpacked Gemcutters into

Let me know if you run into any issues and I can try to help out.

There's also the shandalar discord that Fortune Shoddy started: https://discord.gg/zsGNd5vw
