Janko "Kveldulfur" Grewe has recently unveiled the development of «Der Schränker 4», a game that promises to continue the successful series that has captivated Atari 8-bit computer users.
This new title, whose name translates from German as "The Cabinet," is an action-platform adventure that follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, delivering the classic "jump & run" experience that has defined the series from the start.
Grewe, in collaboration with M.L. Webel on music, shared on the AtariAge forum that he is actively developing this fourth installment, aiming to submit it to this year's software competition of the Atari Bit Byter User Club (ABBUC). While there is still much to program, Grewe remains confident that the remaining time will be sufficient to refine the details and deliver a complete and satisfying experience.
The «Der Schränker» series has had a remarkable journey within the Atari community. «Der Schränker 1» secured thirteenth place in the ABBUC contest of 2022. Its sequel, «Der Schränker 2», achieved eighth place in the same competition in 2023. Most recently, «Der Schränker 3» claimed fifth place in the ABBUC 2024, demonstrating consistent progress and an increasing level of quality with each installment.
In «Der Schränker 4», players will embark on a new adventure with Tibil and his girlfriend Deana, setting out in search of dazzling diamonds. The allure of these gems is irresistible, but the journey is fraught with danger. Players must evade perilous bees, ravenous worms, spiky hedgehogs, and swift birds. Additionally, water and fire must be avoided at all costs, and lingering on bombs for too long is a recipe for disaster.
Collecting diamonds is essential, as the more gathered, the greater the bonus at the end of each level. However, players must also keep a close watch on the remaining time, as efficient time management is crucial to successfully completing each stage.
With «Der Schränker 4», Grewe aims not only to uphold the series' tradition of quality and fun but also to surpass the expectations set by previous installments. The Atari community eagerly awaits this new adventure, confident that Grewe and his team will deliver an experience worthy of the time and effort invested.
