Tier,

Great game, thanks.

I like the atmoshphere and sliding doors are classic, as are sound effects. Fantastic work, looking forward to the next episode.

Only things I'd comment on are the text size and font, very hard to make out, a smoother font (like in future wars) would work allot better, perhaps launched in a window so that contrast never becomes a problem. It would also be cool if any of the action items would guide the character to point placed, currently you have to walk to an item, then interact. Would also be great to explore more of ship, perhaps shuttle, ultimately some class m planets! thats all in the future im sure ! :-)

Keep up good work!

Anthony

Yeah, the interface is a bit tiresome. I have to click twice ona screen and about four times with the right mouse button just ot preform one action. When in the lift shaft first use then walk command is a bit silly.
Also the character gets in the way of hot spots, so I have to change cursor, then click the character away, then change the cursor again then activate a hotspot...a bit tiresome.

A bit repeatable sound in the background and the cahracters should have a bit longer arms (otherwise I liked the design very much).

Other than those 3 minor things, overall I enjoyed the game.

Thanks for the report Leon. I guess that is the bug that Roger reported but gave few details. I will fix it soon

Spoiler Alert!!! come on let's use hide tags please

Well, I'm not sure what the spoiler is, but if you insist...

Oh I was only kidding

Just seemed silly at the time.

Tier and I were just talking on MSN and realised you must be replaying, which we appreciate of course! You caught a lot of stuff we missed in testing the first time around and over a week later you are still helping us fix and update to new versions

We would be happy to have you test the new episodes if you like. Speaking of, I just completed the first animation for Distress. Tier has been busy whipping up new rooms too, and one almost needs two hands with which to count them already

Leon · Thu 12/11/2009 00:48:03

Yeah, I saw a question in the H&T so I answered. But I hadn't written the walkthrough yet so that's what I just did. And while writing, I stumbled upon this error, just by accident.

And sure, whenever you're close to releasing, give me a shout and I'll give it a serious beta-stage.

Good job with the game. Was putting my tabs on it as the only Star Trek game I was really looking out for. It was good, I think, especially for a first. The ending was more hilarious than hair-standing (like those creepy horror games) which I felt was rather awkward.

Other than that, keep up the good work. Looking forward to Part 2.

For those who don't know yet the second episode has been announced by Tier himself! Go look, drool and wait expectantly.

Hi!

Finished the game yesterday and left a comment on the games db. Just some more details here:

This one was annoing and reduced my immersion because I stopped playing to look in a walkthrough but without success:

Spoiler

I had all vials, knew the illness of the guy and which two medications he needs but the game still wouldn't let me lookup the vials in the book. I randomly reclicked all objects until the lookup was finally enabled

There also were some typos.

I really liked the puzzles and the interactions with the other characters. Very clever! Also great animations.

Looking forward to the next part!
