Ive updated the demo slightly to include one of the puzzles from the game. ill give you a hint. try to find nevil's pet (im a harry potter fan so other fans will know what i mean)

i hope this isnt concidered a bump but ive been going through my coding recently and realised that i was getting a crap load of if's and else's and then an answer hit me that when i went back and redid all my code using the idea it really cleaned up alot of stuff. basically the idea was that i had written the game in part depending on the major events needed to do. So basically i just added a variable called Part and set it to 1 for the beginning of the game so now my game just checks what part it is and what codes/rooms/characters etc etc to use for that part. basically i broke the game into 5 parts and im now working on part 2. I will release another demo for part2 which will have animated characters in it (roger is no longer in it hehe)

Neat backgrounds. The style is very consistent. I for one am looking forward to seeing more as your work progresses!

just to let you know a new demo is out as well as a title page (which is completed but not actually in the game yet. hehehe.) check the 1st post for updates

I just went to download the demo and the file was not found..... SOOO, I would check on that.....

Da_Elf · Mon 15/01/2007 02:07:10

i need to get someone with enough power to be able to help me out. the page didnt want to accept my password so i cant change any info on it. the "add your game" section should also have email options so it can email you your password incase you forget it.

auriond · Mon 15/01/2007 02:24:13

I don't get it... if you're the main author, you're supposed to be able to make changes without the password, right?

Da_Elf · Mon 15/01/2007 02:58:13

Well, I downloaded it and tried it out anyway. Looks very nice, though the lack of a front and back walk animation means that Asterix tends to slide down or up a path quite often. The backgrounds bring a sense of nostalgia

though I was disappointed at not being able to ente Vitalstatistix's hut, and I tended to walk right past Unhygenix's place without being able to stop and explore.

Da_Elf · Tue 16/01/2007 12:54:03

yeah this is a demo. the 1st 2 stages of the game are playable. Ive got someone working on the animation of the characters now since ive been too busy with backgrounds and coding. My brother gave it a good testing last night and ive already got a bug list to fix. Dont worry, you will be able to enter the hut. Just not at this point in the game (vitalstatistics hut that is).

Spoiler

you better stop at the fishmonger and explore if your going to get by the 2nd task

Spoiler

sounds like your still playing asterix though. which means your still in the 1st task...find obelix

auriond · Tue 16/01/2007 13:18:16

I didn't know how far the demo goes, so I just clicked around a bit...

Spoiler

I found Obelix sleeping at the bottom of a pit, but I didn't know what to do with him - talking to him didn't work and walking into the pit got me a message telling me that's not smart - so I left him there, wandered around a bit and thought I was done with the demo!

Spoiler

Ah i had been giving some thought to how to guide your next action. Im going to have it so that when you look at obelix it says "Obelix seems to be out cold. He looks too heavy to lift out of that hole without magic potion though" (in your inventory will be his gourd for potion however it will be empty (there is the clue in itself for what you need to do next))

I cant download.

Arrggghhhhh. :o

Da_Elf · Sun 21/01/2007 04:45:24

i need AGA to check his PM and get back to me to help me fix my page.

ill give you the link via a PM. actually ill upload the latest version. The thing is i want to monitor how many times its downloaded and the demo section download area will alow me to do that. me posting the link here on the forum wont let me.

Tom S. Fox · Sun 21/01/2007 11:59:42

I can't download it, either!

Darth Mandarb · Sun 21/01/2007 13:55:47

Any more problems downloading please just send a PM so this thread doesn't get more clogged with "I can't download!!" posts!

Thanks.

Da_Elf · Sun 21/01/2007 14:04:12

The link has been updated.

Da_Elf · Sun 28/01/2007 03:50:42

im sorry for double posting but i was curious if anyone tried the beta version and what their thoughs were on it. were the puzzles too easy (not that they were really puzzles, more like tasks) if this should have been posted in the critis section im sorry, i thought i might get yelled at for making a new post somewhere else for something thats here

Da_Elf · Tue 13/03/2007 21:46:22

things are going slowly but the asterix demo has been updated with bug fixes and new backgrounds as well as finished backgrounds. I'm still in need of an animator though for character. Im getting worried though, the size if 58 megs unzipped and 18 zipped. thats kinda big

and ive still got more to add for the final version. can i get some feedback on it
