Heh, thanks - I thought I had already tried that but obivously I hadn't!

hedgefield · Tue 08/03/2011 19:15:59

I had that very same problem. Had to consult a walkthrough to find out I apparently just klicked in slightly the wrong place 5 times in a row.

So two of the characters in the game are named after Norse gods: Odin and Balder. Is there any significance to that?

And I always thought he was called Balder because of a receding hair-line.

Odin - yes.
Balder - coincidence.

Most of the character names have their etymological meanings reflect their personalities. eg:

Matthius/Matthias is the name of the apostle who replaced Judas Iscariot after his betrayal of Jesus.

Hey, just wanted to drop a line and say I've finally taken the time to give this game a spin and I gotta say I'm loving it so far. Only a couple of hours in yet but I can tell awesomeness is building up big-time. Amazing work. Congratulations!

"Balder - coincidence. "

Baldur's Gate is what I would've guessed.

Hi CJ,
Dave told me about this forum. I am sending a message from Japan, which is suffering from the massive earthquake. Actually I am in Tokyo, so the damage is not so big, but I feel very sad what happend in Tohoku area. Though we will have a hard time for a while, I believe Japan will be fine. Anyway, I would like to ask you about licensing of Gemini Rue, which I enjoyed the demo a lot. Could you please contact my e-mail for details, ishida@yukes.co.jp? Thanks,

Strangely once I'd bought the game it worked fine (so long as my laptop is plugged in at the mains), must've just been the demo that gave me problem. Loving the game so far, still haven't finished it I want to take my time.

What a weird post. Is this spam of some weird kind?

Anyway, I'm sure you can find out about the licensing at their website: http://www.wadjeteyegames.com/

I am sorry if you feel uncomfortable with my post. You can delete my post if you like. What I wanted is not making someone comfused, but simply asking about licensing. This is not joke or something. But it seems my intention doesn't work. I am looking for another way. So please forget about this.

That email address points to Yukes, a well-known Japanese developer (I remember playing EOE: Eve of Extinction on my PS2), so I don't think this is spam.

No need to apologize, okarie. Contacting Wadjet Eye through their website would be the best course of action, though.

okarie · Thu 17/03/2011 02:41:49

Thank you, LimpingFish. I am so glad to see your message. I will take the course of action you suggested. Thank you again.

I've read a review of the game in one of the most respected French video games magazines, where the journalist started straight away with "The game asks me if I want to play in DirectX5. Am I dreaming?".

He didn't mean that he was against the retro aspect of the game, but rather that he felt uncomfortable that it was thrown at his face immediately when he started playing. He meant it felt more "old" than "old school".

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with him. I just thought I'd share, as it is a direct attack at Gemini Rue and more generally at AGS' setup window.

I wish people to comment the content, not the cover.

I personally have no idea how someone can feel uncomfortable when presented with the AGS graphical options. It just seems a bit bizarre.

If it is the case that the journalist is judging the game negatively by its graphics then I also fail to see how they can belong to the most respected French video games magazine. Surely gameplay trumps graphics? Or perhaps the quality of games journalism in France is generally fairly poor and quality of graphics is of higher importance than gameplay?

Then again, perhaps I just live in a fairytale land?

Igor Hardy · Fri 18/03/2011 15:19:12

I don't know about Win7, but DirectX5 works great in general, so what's the problem with it?
