For now, we’re taking a break from the Alentejo universe. Our focus is on our next Game Boy project, which will take a more sci-fi direction. Stay tuned! 🚀

Thank you very much for the review and for featuring the game in your video! 🙏

If you’re interested, our previous game, Alentejo: Tinto’s Law, already includes a German translation, which might be interesting for your audience.

Thanks again for the time and the support! 🤠🍷

Hi! At the moment, the game is available in Portuguese and English.

We may consider adding more languages in the future (such as Spanish or French), but for now these are the officially supported ones.

Thanks for your interest! 🙏

Olá! Obrigado pelo feedback e pelas palavras, ficamos mesmo contentes que estejas a gostar do jogo 🙏

Quanto ao bug no comboio, obrigado também por o reportares. Já percebemos exatamente a zona e a situação a que te referes. Para nos ajudar a investigar melhor a origem do problema, podias dizer-nos em que versão jogaste o jogo?

• Versão PC (executável .exe)

• Versão ROM em emulador (e, se possível, qual o emulador utilizado)

Essa informação ajuda-nos a perceber se o comportamento acontece em todas as versões/emuladores ou se está ligado a uma configuração específica.

Obrigado mais uma vez por reportares, vamos dar uma vista de olhos a isso com atenção.


[EN] Hi! Thanks a lot for the kind words, we’re really glad you’re enjoying the game 🙏

Regarding the bug inside the train, thank you for reporting it. We understand exactly which section and situation you’re referring to. To help us investigate this more accurately, could you let us know which version of the game you were playing?

• PC version (the .exe build)

• ROM version on an emulator (and if possible, which emulator)

This will help us determine whether the issue happens across all builds or if it’s tied to a specific emulator or version.

Thanks again for taking the time to report this, we’ll take a close look at it.

Olá! Antes de mais, pedimos imensa desculpa por não termos respondido ao teu e-mail, entre semanas que estivemos em eventos e a pausa natalícia acabou por nos passar ao lado... Lamentamos mesmo isso.

Entretanto, várias pessoas entraram em contacto connosco sobre esse mesmo problema na versão PC da edição mais completa, e confirmámos que o ficheiro que estava a ser descarregado correspondia, por erro nosso, à demo em vez do jogo completo.

A boa notícia é que o problema já foi resolvido. Podes voltar a fazer download dos ficheiros da tua compra e o executável (.exe) já corresponde à versão completa do jogo.

Se quiseres mais detalhes sobre o que aconteceu e as correções mais recentes, explicámos tudo no nosso último devlog:
👉 https://loadingstudios.itch.io/alentejo-the-tinto-and-the-ugly/devlog/1310351/ve...

Obrigado pela paciência e compreensão, e mais uma vez as nossas desculpas pelo incómodo.


[EN] Hi! First of all, we’re really sorry for not replying to your email at the time. It unfortunately slipped through, most likely due to recent events and the Christmas break. Our apologies for that.

In the meantime, several players reported the same issue with the PC version included in the complete edition, and we confirmed that, due to an error on our side, the downloadable file was pointing to the demo instead of the full game.

The good news is that this issue has now been fixed. You can re-download your purchased files, and the executable (.exe) will now correctly launch the full version of the game.

If you’d like more details about what happened and the recent fixes, we explain everything in our latest devlog:
👉 https://loadingstudios.itch.io/alentejo-the-tinto-and-the-ugly/devlog/1310351/ve...

Thanks for your patience and understanding, and once again, sorry for the inconvenience.

Olá! Muito obrigado pela tua mensagem! 😄

Sobre o problema na gruta do Orujo: sim, estamos cientes desse bug e já o estamos a investigar. Infelizmente, é um daqueles casos que só acontece a alguns jogadores, dependendo da ordem em que cada pessoa faz certos eventos no jogo.

De qualquer forma, deixo-te aqui o link para o nosso devlog mais recente, onde explicamos em detalhe o que descobrimos até agora e as recomendações atuais:
👉 https://loadingstudios.itch.io/alentejo-the-tinto-and-the-ugly/devlog/1133831/ve...

Também lançámos agora uma nova atualização com alguns minor bug fixes, por isso recomendamos que atualizes para a versão mais recente, é sempre melhor jogar com tudo o mais atualizado possível.

No entanto, no caso específico deste bug do Orujo, em algumas situações a única forma de prosseguir a história é começar uma nova run. Sabemos que não é o ideal, e estamos a fazer o possível para encontrar uma solução definitiva.

Qualquer coisa, se quiseres enviar footage ou mais detalhes, ajuda-nos sempre!

Obrigado por jogares e pelo apoio. 🤠🍷

[EN] Hello! Thank you so much for your message!

Regarding the issue in the Orujo cave: yes, we’re aware of this bug and we’re actively looking into it. Unfortunately, it only affects some players depending on the order in which certain events were completed during the playthrough.

Here’s the link to our latest devlog, where we explain the situation in more detail and share our current recommendations:
👉 https://loadingstudios.itch.io/alentejo-the-tinto-and-the-ugly/devlog/1133831/ve...

We’ve also released a new update with some minor bug fixes, so we recommend updating to the latest version, it’s always best to play with everything as up to date as possible.

However, for this specific Orujo dungeon bug, in some cases the only way to continue the story is to start a new run. We know that’s not ideal, and we’re doing our best to find a permanent solution.

If you want to share footage or more details, it always helps us!

Thank you for playing and for the support. 🤠🍷

Thank you so much for the support, partners! 🤠

We’re happy to hear you picked up the game and can’t wait to read your review! Enjoy the adventure!

Muito obrigado, compadre! 🤠🍷 Ficamos felizes por saber que curtiste a demo! Dá-nos sempre um orgulho enorme ver mais malta a descobrir e a apoiar jogos portugueses!

No jogo completo tens ainda mais coboiada, mais barris e mais aventuras alentejanas!

Um abraço da equipa da Loading Studios!

[EN] Thank you so much, partner! 🤠🍷  We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the demo! It means a lot to see more folks discovering and supporting Portuguese games!

In the full game you have even more cowboy action, barrels, and Alentejo adventures!

A hug from the Loading Studios team!

Olá! Obrigado pela mensagem 😄

Em relação ao problema: pelo que descreves, parece estar relacionado com o próprio emulador (PlayGuy). Não temos experiência direta com ele, mas testámos o jogo em vários outros emuladores como o My OldBoy, mGBA e Visual Boy Advance, e não temos tido problemas em guardar e carregar o progresso nesses.

Se tiveres possibilidade, recomendamos experimentar num desses para ver se o problema desaparece!

Boa sorte com os capangas do Barão Tinto, e qualquer dúvida, estamos por aqui! 🤠🍷

[EN] Hi, thanks for the message 😄

Regarding the problem: from what you describe, it seems to be related to the emulator itself (PlayGuy). We don't have direct experience with it, but we've tested the game on several other emulators such as My OldBoy, mGBA and Visual Boy Advance, and we've had no problems saving and loading progress on those.

If you get the chance, we recommend trying it out on one of these to see if the problem goes away!

Good luck with Baron Tinto's henchmen, and if you have any questions, we're here for you! 🤠🍷

Olá! Obrigado pelo feedback!
Ficamos contentes por saber que te divertiste com a história e com o ambiente do jogo, e claro, vamos sempre registando vários desses aspetos negativos para melhorar no futuro!

Relativamente à tua pergunta: a sequela será lançada como um jogo separado, com página e ficheiro próprios.

Um abraço da equipa e obrigado pelo apoio! 🤠🍷

[EN] Hi! Thanks so much for the feedback!
We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the story and the overall atmosphere of the game, and of course, we’re taking note of the points you mentioned to keep improving in the future!

As for your question: the sequel will be released as a separate game, with its own page and file.

Big thanks from the whole team! 🤠🍷

Boas! Ficamos felizes por saber que gostaste do jogo! Sim, a sequela vai ter um sistema de save e será também mais extensa, com uma nova zona do mapa passada em Espanha, há muito mais coboiada para viver!

Abraço e obrigado pelo apoio! 🤠🍷

[EN] Hey there! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the game!
The sequel will include a save system and will also be longer, featuring a whole new area set in Spain, there’s plenty more cowboy chaos ahead!

Thanks for the support! 🤠🍷

Muito obrigado pelo teu comentário e pelo apoio ao jogo! Saber que fizeste parte dos Magnificent Twenty deixa-nos mesmo felizes! Obrigado compadre! 🤠

As sugestões são muito bem-vindas e, aliás, tocas em pontos que já temos em mente para a sequela. Já estamos a trabalhar no sistema de save e a questão dos SFX e da música é algo que queremos expandir bastante, por essa razão, até estamos a trabalhar com um verdadeiro compositor (Rui Rodrigues).

Obrigado pelas palavras e pelo entusiasmo. Prometemos que a próxima aventura será ainda maior e melhor! Um grande abraço!

[EN] Thank you so much for your comment and for supporting the game! Knowing that you were part of the Magnificent Twenty makes us really happy! Thanks fellow! 🤠

Your suggestions are very welcome and, by the way, you touched on things we already have in mind for the sequel. We're already working on the save system and the issue of SFX and music is something we want to expand a lot, so we're even working with a real composer (Rui Rodrigues).

Thank you for your words and enthusiasm. We promise that the next adventure will be even bigger and better! Cheers!

Olá! Obrigado por comprares o jogo! 😊

O erro acontece porque o My Boy é um emulador exclusivo para Game Boy Advance (GBA). Para jogar títulos de Game Boy (GB) ou Game Boy Color (GBC), precisarás de usar o My OldBoy.

Tenta com este novo emulador e, se tiveres mais alguma dúvida, estamos por aqui para ajudar!

[EN] Hi! Thanks for buying the game! 😊

The error occurs because My Boy is an exclusive emulator for Game Boy Advance (GBA). To play Game Boy (GB) or Game Boy Color (GBC) titles, you'll need to use the My OldBoy emulator.

Give this emulator a try and if you have any more questions, we're here to help!

Muito obrigado pelo teu feedback! Ficamos felizes por saber que gostaste do jogo 🤠

A questão do save é algo que já recebemos de vários jogadores e, por isso, já estamos a trabalhar nisso para a sequela! Esperamos trazer novidades em breve. Obrigado pelo apoio! 🍷

[EN] Thank you so much for your feedback! We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the game 🤠

The save issue is something we've already heard from several players, so we're already working on it for the sequel! We hope to bring news soon. Thanks for your support! 🍷

[EN] Thanks for the feedback and brief review! It helps us a lot to improve the game in the future, especially the sequel that is already in pre-production. Bang, bang buddy! 🤠🍷

Olá, muito obrigado pelo apoio! 😊 
A sequela neste momento está em pré-produção e por isso, ainda há algumas questões. A ideia é mover a narrativa adiante e expandir o mundo para Espanha, com mais minas, cavernas, personagens e mais opções de gameplay. Com muito Tinto e acção à mistura! 🤠🍷

[EN] Hi, thank you so much for your support! 😊
The sequel is currently in pre-production, so there are still some things to think about. The idea is to move the narrative on and expand the world to Spain, with more mines, caves, characters and more gameplay options. With lots of Tinto and action! 🤠🍷

Olá, muito obrigado pelo apoio! 😊 
Quanto à versão física, os cartuchos são multilíngua, incluindo as mesmas opções que existem na ROM digital. A escolha de idioma no site da reserva serve apenas para nos ajudar a compreender melhor o nosso público e as preferências linguísticas dos jogadores. O manual incluído estará em inglês.

Welcome to the Wild West of Alentejo!

Hello, everyone! 🤠

We're glad to finally share the journey of Alentejo: Tinto's Law here! For those who don't know, this is a passion project born out of a love for retro gaming, the Game Boy, and a touch of Portuguese culture.

A Gundown Satiric Western, set in the 19th Century Iberian Penisula!

Under the scorching Iberian sun, a 19th-century European western emerges! Trains, outlaws, barrels, smuggling-welcome to 19th-century Alentejo, a land where the blazing sun and mysteries never fade away. In Alentejo: Tinto's Law, meet Gildo and help him gather his gang to challenge the authoritarian rule of Baron Tinto. Travel through various locations, explore caves and mines, cross the border into Spain, and defy Tinto and his oppressive laws!

This isn't just a western- it's a Iberian western, filled with cultural nods and a unique twist on the classic genre.

But you're probably wondering now... Why the Game Boy?

Because the classics never go out of style 😎 The Game Boy's simplicity is a perfect match for our vision: a game that feels timeless yet entirely new. And yes, it's playable on real Game Boy hardware, so dust off that old console! And for modern players, we've got browser and emulator-compatible versions too.

A Look Back

We were honored to showcase Alentejo: Tinto’s Law at DevGAMM Lisbon and Street Gaming Ourém, where we received an incredible reception. Visitors loved seeing a Game Boy game amidst a sea of next-gen titles, and it was inspiring to watch people engage with our unique take on the western genre.

Last but not least.. What the hell is Alentejo?

Well, for those who don't know and have read this far, Alentejo is the beautiful rural interior of Portugal filled with rolling plains, cork and olive trees, sleepy villages and empty roads. The region is known for its slower pace of life, but this is the only way to manage your day when the summertime temperature regularly exceeds 40ºC. The people of Alentejo, their iconic manners, and their famous Tinto are as much a part of its identity as the land itself.

The idea for Alentejo: Tinto’s Law started as a joke when some of us were reminiscing about an old Portuguese TV series called Alentejo Sem Lei ("Alentejo Without Law"). That conversation sparked the idea of a Portuguese western, and before we knew it, the project had taken on a life of its own.

We couldn’t think of a better setting for a Iberian western than Alentejo!

Join the Adventure

Whether you’re here for the nostalgia, the story, or the unique cultural twist, Alentejo: Tinto’s Law offers something special for everyone. Follow us here on Itch.io and across social media for the latest updates, and don’t forget to grab your copy!

[EN] As promised, the .pocket file is now available! Thank you for your patience and support. 🤠🎮

Muito obrigado pelo feedback! 😊 Seria incrível, não seria? Infelizmente, as limitações do Game Boy não permitem que façamos dobragens, mas não há dúvida de que o sotaque alentejano daria ainda mais personalidade à história! Quem sabe num futuro projeto... Obrigado pelo apoio e pela ideia. 🤠🎮

[EN] Thank you so much for the feedback! 😊 Wouldn’t that be amazing? Unfortunately, Game Boy limitations don't allow us to do dubbing, but there’s no doubt that the Alentejo accent would add even more personality to the story! Who knows, maybe in a future project… 

Olá! 😊 Confirmo que vamos disponibilizar o ficheiro .pocket para o Analogue Pocket em breve. A nossa previsão é que fique pronto até ao final desta semana. Muito obrigado pelo interesse! 🎮

[EN] Hi! 😊 I can confirm that we’ll be releasing the .pocket file for the Analogue Pocket soon. We expect it to be ready by the end of this week. Thank you so much for your interest! 🎮

Description

Trivela is a 3D first-person exploration videogame about a young footballer who is hired by a Liga 3 team (3rd Portuguese Football League). A game that explores not just this young footballer's professional life but also his personal life, including his relationships with his family, friends, personal problems, and important decisions, among other things.

History

Trivela was born out of an academic project in February 2022. The major purpose of this project was to create a football game that went beyond sport, attempting to show what it's like to be a growing athlete in the most realistic way possible.

Features

• Explore
• Interact with objects
• Make some small puzzles
• Learn about the character's past
• Experiencing life as a young footballer
