I have become stuck too!

Spoiler

I can not get the welder outside the ship, no matter how long I wait in the airlock, even if I have the door open. What am I doing wrong?

I was thinking the same thing ... it's not logical to try that lever.Ã,Â Although ... I supposed it's not logical to try everything like that when you're stuck!Ã,Â But you're right ... it's poorly conceived.

Spoiler

did you use the captain's computer again?

Awesome game, despite quite a few massive bugs. Especially loved the ending.

Lazy Z · Fri 23/07/2004 01:41:03

Lovely game so far, but I'm stuck:

Spoiler

I'm on Wednesday, I've gotten the bloody food/Serena's hand, talked to the Doc, he gave me that UV flashlight, followed the trail through the shaft, and saw the blood marks on the wall on the next room. What should I do next?"

Spoiler

Go to the communal area floor and use the UV light on the vent (at least I think the vent's on that floor, it's the non-dining-area-vent anyway

)

it doesn't break the rules, the picture is 500X200, and the rule clearly states, quote:

NOTE: If you include an image in your signature, please ensure it is no larger than 600x50 pixels.

Lazy Z · Fri 23/07/2004 02:05:10

Thanks AGA.

Uh, Ryan, 200 is bigger than 50, so yeah, it does break the rules.

ryan · Fri 23/07/2004 02:06:46

oh, sorry, i wasn't reely thinking (>Â¿<) :o

ryan · Fri 23/07/2004 02:32:10

Spoiler

I'm on the part where I have to go find Serena, but I have no idea where to look, as I've checked everything. Help?

Got fatal error when I started the game...posted the numbers in the tech forum...

PaulSC · Fri 23/07/2004 02:40:16

Wow, this might just be the best AGS game I've played yet. All of the good aspects of 5 Days with next to none of the irritating ones. Excellent characters, *completely* engrossing and as nerve-wracking and atmospheric as could be. And oh man that ending!

It's a shame the game is as buggy as all hell right now, though. Here's another one that I don't think has been mentioned (I'm assuming these'll all find their way to the author one way or the other?):

Spoiler

When I tried to go back to the escape pod room during the 'Welder' chase, Adam was still there and acts as if you still need to find the card.

And yeah, that escape pod vacum puzzle could really use some work. Also, I was sitting around in the airlock for ages waiting for the welder to arrive - it was a bit silly that you had to *close* the door to make him arrive.

Still, a phenomenal game! I get the impression this Yahtsee guy isn't terribly well liked around here (though I had a look at his website, and he seems a decent enough person), but whatever he's like, I have to say based on his last three games he's one hell of a talented individual.

Redwall · Fri 23/07/2004 02:50:41

The title seems odd, considering the shrink is the most un-skeptical person on the ship.

Big Brother: I assumed the ships were built for a crew of seven but this one just didn't have a seventh man. Classic government/military style, keeps things uniform.

ryan · Fri 23/07/2004 03:04:12

never mind, i got itÃ,Â

edit:
also, i think i should add to the Serena's hand error (if its not already added) that you can get the UV thing again too when you give the hand to William again.

FATAL ERROR MESSAGE
FATAL ERROR

I started the game and got the message
" An exception 0xC0000005 occured in ACWIN.EXE at EIP = 0xBFF8C15B [strcpy/strcat]; program pointer is +0, ACI version 2.61.747, gtags (0,0)"

It says to notify CJ on the Tech Forum.
why??? why??? why?

NUFAN · Fri 23/07/2004 03:42:14

I just hit the captain off the edge with the towel thing. Now what?

ryan · Fri 23/07/2004 03:43:31

another bug:

Spoiler

I just stunned Barry, and i went up to the sick room to see if william was there. he wasn't, so i walked out, walked up to the elevator, and Barry comes out of the sick room, but he wasn't there before. ***EDIT*** i also get this same thing when i go to the conference room and walk to the elevator

That's part of the game, I assumed it was because they're apparitions rather than physical beings.

Kinoko · Fri 23/07/2004 04:37:44

Man, what a game. I'm not finished yet but I had other plans to work on my own game today that just got shattered once I started playing this. Yahtzee has a real knack for 'on-the-edge' atmosphere, and the game is extremely professional, just like '5 Days'. I have to say, I don't find the safety procedure with the clip annoying at all, but I guess that's because it's nowhere near as bad as the mundane things I've had to do in other games.

I'm so jealous at this guy's writing >_< It's just good, simple game storyline that keeps you wanting to play throughout the whole game.
