v1.3.3.1 Release Notes:

Important Save File Notice!

Save games you made with any previous version of Book 1 will NOT work in v1.3.3.1

We're sorry, but there is nothing we can do about this. It's the nature of how saved games work in SCI. It might load and look like it works, but in the end, the game will crash when you run into any of the changes that were made.

Full zip, game files, including all source code and resources:

Minimal zip, game files only, no source code, no docs:

Changes:

  • Created a new Betrayed Alliance.exe - This should fix the security warning Windows 10/11 and OSX would sometimes display.
  • Typos have been fixed and texts run through grammar checkers.
  • Add in the stairs cancel mechanic to the storage room stairs
  • "Look wizard" gives "look mirror" description before you meet the wizard
  • Walking down in Maze cave after looting chest displays wrong view
  • "Cover, block" furnace should reply with a custom response
  • "Search floor" in storeroom should find greaves even if character not on the control color
  • Right-clicking on the mirror while the wizard is present but you aren't near it just says "you aren't close enough."
  • Ego mentions "open shackles" to Julyn, but those are no longer in the new picture - change to stand near the lever.
  • Description of STUPID kit mention items will be used automatically by player when you need them
  • "Look symbol" in graveyard does not compute
  • "Push sarcophagus" doesn't compute - hint at using a shovel
  • Add "13?" image on the drawing of the block puzzle
  • "Enter" buildings doesn't seem to compute
  • IQ test should be lowered from 100 to 60
  • Add "winch" to vocab
  • "Look" "search" "take" letters in dock should all have different responses
  • "Ask about healing, potions" etc of more people to direct player to Rose
  • Add image of symbol on scroll describing symbol
  • Body of soldier no longer appears - double check rm 68 and ambush area

Itinerary of Long-Term Fixes:

There are some fixes/additions that will take some time to do and we'll shoot for those at a later update. These are more ambitious goals that we couldn't get out the door in just a few weeks:

  • Optimizing the game for era hardware
  • Creating a better darts minigame from the ground up
  • Making keyboard-only gameplay possible
  • Adding support for all additional sound drivers

We hope this small labor of love can bring a little nostalgic joy to you.
