Ishid-O-Matic Reborn

WARNING iOS users : due to an issue with Godot, you'll only get an infinite loop loading spinner, sorry for the inconvenience, I'll try to include the workaround soon, in the meantime, there is a fixed version here.

This is a remake of the game Ishid-O-Matic by Robert Brander released in 1992 on Amiga.

Here are links to manual of former release of the game which still might be very helpful to learn how to play as well as some strategy: manual 1 and manual 2.

Already known limitations and issues (not the full list):

• better stone set (also better visuals globally, especially the splashscreen which is just a draft) will be available sooner or later,
• game may crash on exit (Godot issue ?),
• language not yet implemented (English only for now), translators are welcome (other than French),
• enhanced mode not yet implemented, it is planned for quite later (need to be fully designed first anyway),
• "debug" rectangle area here or there to remove,
• and a few more.

Notes:

• Linux executable has not been tested, it may or may not work, please let me know,
• more versions will be available later maybe (Android & iOS),
• letters in tile have no meaning (it's not some twisted Scrabble game), this is just a dummy tiles set, a better one is in progress and will be added later

Please, give your comments in the forum to help and gather what you like or dislike in this beta version and also what you would like to have or anything you think would be welcome by other players in order to improve the enjoyment of the game experience.

Source code is available here, feel free to fork and create PR.

Donations are much more appreciated, they will help release the game, and others, to other platforms and on paid game stores like Steam.

Top donors (I don't know yet, five or ten maybe depending of total donations received) will be eligible to receive my next game, which will be a paid game, for FREE.

To conclude, this is my first serious game made and (almost) completed so don't be too harsh, everything is not perfect and I'm still learning how to do most of the thing like for instance publishing here on itch.io. It will be available later on other websites like indiedb, if you know good channels to promote games as well as proper ways to do it, please contact me.
