The Cat Lady

[Grim]

Bug report noted- thanks;) (and sorry! - this is the first one since release and I'm gonna be looking into it)

In the meantime, someone posted some wonderful fan art on Harvester Games Facebook page and I thought I'd share it here!;)

I can see the giant zombie cat gets some well-deserved love : )

You rock guys! Thank you.

Think I found something weird at st start of the game.   

Spoiler

After watching the intro, getting the key from Susan's dead body, and roof collapsing on her, I arrive back at the house with the locked door - but there's a deer there now.  Instead of using the key to unlock the door, I follow the deer, which leads me to the tree with Susan's hanging body.  Nothing I can do here at the moment - the body is too high up, and I can't untie the rope.  So I head back to the house with the locked door... but there's a gate blocking my way.  Obviously, the key won't work here, cos it's meant for the house.  So I'm trapped between the gate and the hanging body.  Can't seem to do anything.

Is that a bug, of have I missed something?  I know it's near the start, and I could start again, but thought I should mention it anyway.   

[m0ds]

Not a bug, so all you need is a hint - you just need to follow some more things in the forest, good luck!

[NEO117]

So err... about my issue? Would it be possible for someone to PM a save to me? Just after you cut the cable in chapter 6.

I'm really dying to finish the game.

[m0ds]

Rem, can you help? ^

Afraid all my save games are from an old version, they can't be used with the current version.

Yep, sorry about that!;) I'll get that save to you ASAP.

EDIT: PM sent with a saved game.

A small update:

The bad news: Unfortunately, the US postal service has just doubled the cost of sending a small package internationally. As our DVD's are produced and shipped from the USA, this affects us. We're looking into a solution to keep the cost of getting a DVD down.

The good news: The game is coming to GOG very soon! After an initial rejection, they noticed the positive reviews and decided to give the game a look. Thanks to everyone who's been reporting on the game and helping it reach where it's reaching! It could be a matter of hours before it's available at FireFlowerGames, the English copy is available digitally at Zodiac-Store (Italy) and they are also working on an Italian localization.

Our free to download French subtitle translation by Hervé Appriou is complete and being proof-read!

Also, the game has won some praise at Adventure-Treff. Thanks to Axel for the info!

Great to hear about GOG - finaly they came to their senses. Certainly will get another copy from them as promised.
I can help with polish translation (hope I'm not the only Pole interested in playing this game) if that can help in any way.

Spoiler

And about the music - what's the tune Susan plays to summon the cats in Chapter 3?

Great news to hear it will be on GOG   

I'll be looking out for it.

A small update:

The bad news: Unfortunately, the US postal service has just doubled the cost of sending a small package internationally. As our DVD's are produced and shipped from the USA, this affects us. We're looking into a solution to keep the cost of getting a DVD down.

This has been my issue as well, which is why I went back to doing the DVD snapcase for Primordia. One option you can try is see about getting a bulk shipping rate to a warehouse in Europe, and then ship the items from there. By the time I thought of that option, it was way too late in the process.

[m0ds]

Hi Dave, thanks. It's certainly an option and would be something I'd perhaps look into if this were a bigger operation. But for me the fact the manufacturers are doing the labeling, packaging and delivery is really, really useful. As we briefly discussed at AdvX the DVD fulfillment world is a bit of an odd thing at the moment. I think that's because it's still a fairly new process, still growing up. Give it a few years and there will probably be some real competition there as more people run their own smaller businesses.

I did some investigation and see why DVD-roms are hit with the charge. But after a few days, I concluded - I'd only end up spending a similar amount on the materials myself to post items or hiring someone else to do it, let alone need to find the time to do that, so for now am shrugging off the price hikes. But I'm interested to know, when you say a warehouse in Europe, do you mean there are specifically businesses/people who will take your bulk order and distribute it out to individuals? What are those businesses known as? Or are you considering buying a European warehouse?

[Dave Gilbert]

Hah. No, don't buy a warehouse. Usually they are called fulfillment services, or "pick and pack." That's probably what you are using in America. They pack up the items, address them, and then ship them. But instead of getting them indivudally shipped from America, you'd ship ALL of them to a warehouse in Europe, and then get them shipped individually out from there. It could be cheaper, depending what the shipping costs within Europe are. I meant to look into it, but as I said I ran out of time.

edit: And by "ship them all to a warehouse" I don't mean sending all of them individually to one place. You'd put all of them into one box (or two, depending on how many there are) and ship that to a warehouse in Europe. Then the European warehouse will take out the items and individually ship from there. The cost of shipping 1-2 large boxes might not be that much.

edit2: And this is way off topic. Drop me a PM if you want to talk more about this. I used to do shipping for a garment manufacturer so I know a lot about this crap.

Finally got around to grabbing a copy of this. Up to Chapter 5 so far, and I have to say, this is absolutely marvelous. Grungy and dark, like someone mixed a sort of weird nightmare state with a Quentin Tarantino movie, then set it somewhere in England that's both familiar and nondescript. And then put a lot of blood in it. A LOT of blood.

The further I've got into the game, the smarter it's become, too - stuff that was faintly weird early on starts to have more significance, and the way the story unravels is incredibly deft. And the slight low-budgetness about it - that scratchy low-fi stuff it has going on - is a fabulous way of turning budgetary and technical limitations into a completely unique style.

I'd heard lots of good things about this. But I don't think I expected something quite this interesting.

[Surdy]

Hi guys,

I don't know if anything is interested but the french localization is done. The proofreading is over now. Moreover, I send the french file to Mods. Thanks, pal Don't forget to credite me on AGS, please and put my name on Harvester & Screen7 websites. P.S: Don't forget my adress for the game

I'm glad TCL is on GOG too.

[m0ds]

Thanks Herve! Once Rem has it working in game and is good for distribution I'll honor you the stuff, cos it may need to be sent back to you for us to get it working (the line spacing in your file is different to the original file, may be a problem?). But your AGS credit is up for now at least! Will email you when we've got it working a-ok

A note to others, thanks to Surdy's work the French translation will be free to download and can be added to your existing English copy, and a  Spanish translation is also about to be be worked on which will also be freely available. Russians and Italians will be able to get localized versions of the games but not directly through us I'm afraid. They're being kindly handled and are exclusive to Zodiac Store (Italy) and Akella (Russia & territories)

And thank you Lewis! Glad you're enjoying it...and good to know it kept you gripped since you loaded it!
