Oh, this reminds me of something that happened to me a few years ago. (Well, it was a SNES, but still...)

Downloading...

I played only 10 minutes and allready think this game is a classic!
Good job guys!

Thanks for listening to my complaint about the mysterious object on the table...
It's much better now

(to explain for outsiders: in the beta version I mentioned I couldn't click on it, play the game to find out what they changed about it)

Great game guys!

JayBTV · Wed 02/04/2008 01:40:39

Thanks for the release! Been looking forward to this one since you posted about it in games in progress.

Downloading now

Leon · Wed 02/04/2008 02:14:20

I'm playing it now. Great game! I love the graphics. And the objects to interact with.... amazing. Puzzles are a bit predictable but still great fun to play.

Update:

Crashed with -:-

Error: run_text_script1: error -6 running function 'room_RepExec':
Error: Array index out of bounds (index: 5, bounds: 0..4)
in "room9.asc", line 135

Keeps appearing in the shop from time to time, not really after an action. Happened even when I was just standing in the shop.

And after the credits, pressing esc brings you back to the start-screen. Choosing NEW there didn't reset the game very well. My piggybank is still on the floor, my 'sister' is still in the bathroom etc.

Downloading now, ill let you know how it goes.

EDIT: Bugger it, i didnt save either, id I'm pretty sure i was almost finished the game...

Good game sofar

Seems to be a problem with the shop.

EDIT2: I just realised the name of the "nerd" and the poster are the same lol...
Nice way to depict yourself

Yolt1 · Wed 02/04/2008 08:42:57

Thanks everyone for your good words!
We really enjoyed making this game and its more then a pleasure to see people so interested.
good game to all

Mr.T · Wed 02/04/2008 08:59:26

Thank you for the feedback

I'll check what could be wrong with the shop,
and I'll properly reset the game!! (I didn't though about it haha)

Thank you

edit: silly me I know why it bugs! I call an array bigger than it should,
please my excuse it will be fixed as soon as I quit work

Ultra Magnus · Wed 02/04/2008 09:15:16

Oh, poo.
Same error as Leon and Fee.

And I was having fun with it, as well.
It's a cool game.

Mr.T · Wed 02/04/2008 09:17:32

I'm really really sorry

It will be fixed really soon, if you can save your progress in another
place than the tech store, it should normally work with the new version
since I won't change any global var.

Throw rocks at me... please.. I deserve that

Ultra Magnus · Wed 02/04/2008 09:30:35

I'll do that.

Also, minor note...
Straight after I... opened the piggy bank (both times I played), the guy said his "I can't use that" message for no reason.
It's nothing major, but if you're going to be tooling around with the script anyway, you might want to do something about that while you're at it. 8)

Mr.T · Wed 02/04/2008 17:13:44

Thank you very much! I fixed the piggybank, the Warning in the tech store,
and did a proper reset when the game is finished.

If you want to use this new version save your progress in a neutral place
(like the park) and load it with the newer version, there shouldn't be any
problem. Modification were made only in the hero's room, credits and tech store.

nads · Wed 02/04/2008 17:38:23

lol. I started downloading your game, when you uploaded the fixed version.. haha oh well.. time to download it again.. can't wait to play it.

edit: HA! this is wicked, so far. Im enjoying it greatly so far! keep up the good work! only issue i had. nothing major, well the save/load and quit gui's are just the standard ones, like i said thats my only beef with it and its only minor haha just abit odd thats all.

I'm having real trouble using items on the game world, or giving them... I click "USE" on an INV item, and when I move the cursor back to the game window it resets to WALK mode 9 times out of 10.*

*guesstimate. Didn't bother to check whether it really WAS 9 out of 10.

Had this problem in the original version, checked here, saw there was a new version, downloaded it - same problem. And I'm surprised no one's mentioned it...

nads · Thu 03/04/2008 00:11:03

didnt happen for me

Leon · Thu 03/04/2008 00:40:43

Maybe it happened. At least it didn't bother me.

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires · Thu 03/04/2008 00:44:18

Nads - Extremely helpful post.

Ok, I found out EXACTLY what is happening - if the mode is set to WALK TO, either by pressing 'W' or by clicking anywhere onscreen, and the player changes the mode via the keyboard shortcuts while the mouse is on the inventory GUI then *the mouse changed BACK to WALK mode when the cursor goes back to the main window*.

I know it sounds obscure, but it was frustrating me terribly before I found it was this arcane. And it happened quite constantly. Might be worth fixing, hmm?

Also, if you press ESC in the title screen, the mouse cursor turns to "LOOK" cursor. It resets properly when you play the game, but still...

Leon - again, I know it's obscure. But it was *severely* bugging me - I *always* pressed 'U' with the cursor over the relevant inventory item, and this pretty much negated it.

glad to be helpful
