Always in 2001 I've started EMERALD SWORD, my first game of big dimensions (80MB expected) and DirectX graphics. It was inspired from a Rhapsody's album (Symphony of Enchanted Lands) and it was going all over its story, with eccellent 2D graphics (rendered 3D) and an exceptional soundtrack. The game style was based on the mitical masterpiece Golden Axe, that I've played for days when I was young and finished more times. But unfortunately my Hard Disk has broken itself a few days after I completed the demo version of Emerald Sword and on the backup CDs it remained only the demo. Other important step was the realization of TOTUM, a MasterMind of words, based on a famous french TV show. Really much amusing and appreciated, destined to continue through all 2002. This game has been totally renewed in 2016 to TOTUM Reloaded with integrated dictionary to verify words, new sound system, modern help file and improved animations. |

My most important creations in 2002 are: MultiMediaMaster, a powerful media manager - mp3, divx and so on - very quicker than Windows Media Player. Updated in 2005. GoldKar, a Professional Midi/Karaoke Player (created from Karaoke II of the brazilian Fausto C. Arruda), featuring support of Soft Karaoke and Lyrics-Based Karaoke, plus a lot of functions such as lists management, mixing, instruments change, conversions and much more. Always in 2002, I tried the experiment to digitalize an electronic game of mines (who have'nt started with those?), F-1! You can download it, but considering that's an old work... especially historic. |
In 2003 I've optimized CVeM - D'you want to be Millionaire? by Stefano Verna from version 3 to version 4! A very excellent game! Always in 2003, I've moreover tidied GoldKar, creating GoldKar 2.0, with more precision on karaoke texts' delay, quicker and more entrustable when saving instruments to files, and a fantastic virtual piano to be played with your mouse or the PC keyboard! This is my best program ever. In three languages, now with a useful language selector! REQUIRES DIRECTX 7 or later (at least 8 is better) Lists created with previous versions are fully compatible: just install 2.00 in another folder and put in the old *.GKL files. In December 2003, I've tidied BiruBiru also, creating Super BiruBiru, recompiled at 32-Bit and with a lot of news. Talk with him, let him eating and drinking, clean him and play with him! A little game for a little fun! Customizable dialogs. NOTE: don't worry
if you don't hear nothing... there's no sound! |
In the last days of 2003, as promised I've resumed Monopoli 256 Pro to tidy it, but I found it was too old and too simple, so it was too far from the real Monopoli. Then I've restarted all, by rescanning all images and programming FROM ZERO the game's engine. It's incredible: a so simple game have so many rules to made it really complex to transpose it in a Computer! EuroMonopolio is the best game, I think, produced by me 'til now, by considering AI complexity, high quality graphics, longevity, the all-new sound system (I used FMOD, what a great DLL!) and the possibility to save the match! In 2004 I've "enhanced" this game to EuroMonopolio DELUXE, with a bigger CPU intelligence, more options, more graphics quality and more fun! |
Always of the 2004 is M.E.S.S. (Mp3 External Subtitling System), a really useful tool to create lyrics subtitles for Mp3s using versatile and comfortable external .mess files! This program is in English!
HERE you find the Italian version. |

Experiment of 2004 is my first Hardware invention: Virtual Battery. Si tratta di un set di 2 pile virtuali, adattabili a slot sia AA (mignon) che AAA (micro), collegate ad un alimentatore con voltaggio regolabile, in modo da avere una fonte di energia inesauribile per quegli apparecchi che non prevedono un ingresso AC/DC esterno. FUNZIONA!!!! But the biggest project of 2004 is CVeM 4.5, that is to add to the old CVeM 4.3 sounds and
music and to solve all bugs. But this is not all: the most important part of the project
is the realization of a database PRO of 13'000 questions to substitute the original one of 1600
questions created by Verna and having a lot of errors. |
2005 is the year when great projects were completed. The first one in time order is GoldKar 3.00, the professional MIDI-KAR player. The new version has a lot of new features thank to a whole-rebuilt MIDI system. Better compatibility with Midi+Lyrics, better texts visualization, better MIDI setup, added VUMeters, LEDs and much more, included a complete manual of instructions in ITA and ENG. Unfortunately it's created for using with HARDWARE, so not all software synths work correctly (they aren't 100% MIDI-Hardware compatible). It's recommended to use Yamaha SoftSynthesizer or Timidity, unrecommended Roland VirtualSoundCanvas... otherwise you can use GoldKar 2.03, version that uses a DirectMusic-based engine so grants a full compatibility with all synths, but losing all new useful features of version 3. IMPORTANT NOTE: GoldKar is
multilanguage ITA+ENG+FRA! |

The biggest project completed in 2005 is doubtlessly CVeM PRO. After over 2 years of work and cooperation with friends from Italy all, it has been created, verified and optimized a professional database of over 12000 questions making the game really extraordinary, both for longevity and quality. And it have also new animations (with a totally new final sequence), new sounds/musics and other improvements both in game and in Editor! Distributed under GPL license [source]. PLEASE UNINSTALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS BEFORE INSTALLING THE NEW ONE. |

Always in 2005 I thought that Naval Assault was worthy of revive. I "restored" graphics, renewed sound system and inserted true photos of pirates, magistrally intepreted by friends from NoQuarterGiven. Naval Assault GOLD is multilanguage ENG+ITA: enjoy! |

While previous projects was still on the make, I realized an unedited patch (never realized before) for translating Duels of the Planeswalkers (sequel of the famous Magic: The Gathering by Microprose and now abandonware) completely in italian (cards too, thank to the study of structure of the Cards.DAT file) named Duelli dei Viandanti Dimensionali. It's a patch so obviously needs the full game. To continue this revival of my ancient passion for Magic, I got under my control the MagMa (Magic Machine) project by Vaporator
taking it to the version 2. MagMa
2 allows to play Magic against the PC;
project was very interesting and, considering potentials, it was worth to continue it. In
the new revolutionary version 2 I solved a really big number of bugs, renewed graphics and
sound system and improved playability and easiness of use. You can find MagMa in the official
site, where there is also a
Forum
where you can post your impressions, ideas
and problems! You can find it also on
Facebook as "MagMa
Magic Machine". |
