Well, it didn’t work out. It’s just me making things for me, and sometimes there are friends involved. That’s nice!

The name Inutilis exists since 1996, before there was Scum and CUT and probably more. I decided to put everything on inutilis.com now, it’s kind of my full life portfolio!

Anyway, I still have to earn some money, so I work as a programmer: https://timokloss.inutilis.com

Ermentrud - Held mit Pferd

Tue, 16 Nov 2021 00:00:18 +0000

Ermentrud, von Berufswegen Held mit Pferd, wird vom König höchst persönlich damit beauftragt, dessen Tochter zu retten. Immerhin soll sie ordnungsgemäß mit dem Prinzen des benachbarten Königreichs verheiratet werden, weil … na, weil das eben der Lauf der Dinge im Adel ist.

Er macht sich auf die Suche und stößt auf die Spur der geheimnisvollen Kohlköpfe aus dem verborgenen Erdreich. Doch wie findet er diese gemüsigen Schurken? Was erwartet ihn auf der geheimnisumwitterten Insel Thymian? Findet er die Wurzel allen Übels im benachbarten Land der Vina-Rüben? Kann Ermentrud am Ende die Prinzessin befreien oder muss er die laue Bouillon des Schicksals löffeln?

LowRes NX

Fri, 13 Apr 2018 19:44:28 +0000

Program in the classic BASIC language and create sprites, tile maps, sound and music with the included tools. As a beginner you will quickly understand how to create simple text games or show your first sprite on a tile map. As an experienced programmer you can discover the full potential of retro hardware tricks!

Virtual Game Console

Imagine LowRes NX as a handheld game console with a d-pad, two action buttons and a little rubber keyboard below a slidable touchscreen. LowRes NX was inspired by real 8- and 16-bit systems and simulates chips for graphics, sound and I/O, which actually work like classic hardware. It supports hardware sprites as well as hardware parallax scrolling, and even offers vertical blank and raster interrupts to create authentic retro effects.

Run your programs on a virtual game console with 64×64 pixels, 16 colors, 8×8-pixel sprites and 3 sound generators.
Write in a dialect of the classic, easy to learn BASIC programming language.
Share your programs with the LowRes Coder community and play other members’ games.
Play with your MFi game controller.

Note: Apple removed the app after three years from the App Store, because it allowed downloading executable code. I re-released the games I created with it in the new app LowRes Collection.

Why use Gromf?

There is no registration and Gromf doesn’t need a password.
There are no user profiles. Gromf is really not into personal information.
Gromf only asks for e-mail addresses to send invitations, he doesn’t even try to remember them.
Gromf doesn’t care where you have been before, he keeps user information separate for each event.
Gromf is hungry and can’t wait for more than 30 days after the end of the event to eat all the data. Nothing will be left!

Available as website and iOS app. Note: I removed the app from the App Store to concentrate on LowRes Coder.

Fluid Colors

Sat, 20 Jul 2013 23:42:08 +0000

Not just simple changing, but cool changing. It was made quite configurable, so you can create a variety of color effects.

The screen of Fluid Colors can have several parts called spots, each of them changes continuously its color. It will be a randomly chosen color of a predefined color set. You can define several color sets, which will switch from time to time. Optionally there is a mouse effect, which changes the color of the spot under the mouse when moving it. Last but not least you can overlay the whole thing with a vignette mask.

It’s written in JavaScript and HTML/CSS, so the games can be played on any platform (even on mobile phones). It doesn’t use any server backend (no PHP etc.), games can be played offline or on any web space. The story of a game is written in XML format, there is no need to know programming.

Starting with version 1.4 the use of a server (PHP/MySQL) is optional for storing savegames (made to run games in Facebook or other social networks). Without a server savegames are stored locally in the browser.

Ermentrud – Ein Leben für den König

Sat, 20 Aug 2005 12:19:33 +0000

In der Zeit des blühenden Mittelalters, als die Wälder von Menschen fressenden Monstern bevölkert wurden und die Prinzessinnen noch supergeil waren, gab es wagemutige Helden und krasse Räuber.

In einem Land, von einem edlen, Brusthaarschafsfellperücke nutzenden König regiert, der nur um das Glück seiner Tochter der Prinzessin bedacht ist, erzählte man sich die Legende vom superunsterblichen Helden Ermentrud…

Das Reich wurde in seinen Grundfesten erschüttert. Eine Nachricht verbreitete sich von Dorf zu Dorf, vom König hörte man, die Prinzessin sei von Räubern gekidnapped worden! Zwei Räuber, von ungeheurer Hinterlistigkeit und Bösheit (einer mehr als die andere), Kakao trinkend und Hut tragend, wagten die Königstochter zu entführen.

Inga - Adventure Game Engine

Wed, 20 Aug 2003 17:49:12 +0000

The engine was originally created for the game Ermentrud - Held mit Pferd.

Engine

Screen: 640x480 pixels in 256 colors
Developed for CyberGraphX, fast chunky graphics (compatible to Picasso96)
Supports Audio CD and medplayer library (OctaMED songs)
Supports speech and sound fx through AHI
Very flexible with its own scipting language

Development Tools

SkriptShell: Manages and compiles script files
OrtEditor: Helps with creating game locations
InutilisGraphics: Converts IFF-ILBM pictures to Inga’s own format
PersonenEditor: Manages animation files for game characters

Inga kann jedem, der schon immer mal ein Grafik-Adventure programmieren wollte, aber nicht über die nötigen Programmierkenntnisse verfügt, nur wärmstens empfohlen werden. Die Bedienbarkeit der einzelnen Programme ist sehr durchdacht und logisch aufgebaut. Und das Wichtigste: Es macht Spaß, mit Inga zu arbeiten! Schon nach kurzer Zeit stellen sich auch für den Anfänger die ersten Erfolgserlebnisse ein. Durch die Flexibilität der Skriptsprache steht auch der Erstellung komplexer Adventures nichts im Wege.
