Cherokee Trails Preview – Welcome to Just Adventure +

For the past few years, the ambitious Kathy Salisbury has toiled in relative obscurity to develop a series of historically based adventure games that feature a young girl named Ally. Her fortunes may be about to change though, with the release of her newest adventure – Cherokee Trails.

An independent developer who is well-known and respected in the burgeoning shareware community, Kathy was earlier this year voted Volunteer of the Month by the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP), the world’s largest trade organization for independent software developers and vendors.

Her previous games include Ally’s Adventure Through the Glass, Ally 2: Ben Franklin Adventure, SerpentHead and Cendric’s Quest. But Cherokee Trails is her largest project to date as well over a year was spent creating hundreds of animations.

Cherokee Trails has you lead young Ally and her friends on a trek that parallels the journey of the Cherokee tribes across 19th century America. You will have to contend with natural obstacles, wild animals and eventually the ghosts of the past as you complete your journey through history.

In order to ensure that Cherokee Trails was as accurate as possible, Kathy employed the assistance of an authentic Cherokee storyteller and linguist and the music was written by a well-known Cherokee musician. 3D graphics and animation then combine to bring this story to life. It is amazing to me that one person could put so much of herself and her life into developing just one game!

You can download a 6MB demo of Cherokee Trials and then, if you find yourself enchanted the full game can be purchased for only $24.95 on a special cd that also contains Kathy’s previous four adventure games and some bonus screensavers.
