The Treasured Medallion

[amanta4ray]

The file size is 397 MB - compressed.  The game itself is actually 1.27 GB.
I tried to make it smaller by splitting resources inside the game,  but that didn't seem to work.

Does rar have a better compression rate than zip?  If so, that might be something to look into.

P.S.  For saluk's question, that is not a bug.   There is a specific thing you have to do in order to get off the boat, but I don't know how to write the spoiler thing so other people won't see it.

   As far as getting items that you need, the game won't let you move to another section unless you have them all.  I have played way too many games that let you move on without getting the stuff you needed and sometimes you got stuck.  I told myself that I wouldn't do that to people.

Also, for the other things you mentioned, there is only two that are important- by playground and by tavern.  The thing where you can die, there are two ways to do that.  Use one of the items you found by tavern and give that to the guy.

Rar does get better compression than zip.  I'm not sure how much better, but it is better.  Both rar and zip can be split into multiple files, which is probably what needs to be done here.

I am confused why in one case with the boat, where I skip through dialog, I get stuck and have to do something to get off the boat, but the first time I played I just went through the dialog... oh I think I know now. 

I knew what to do with the death, but was punished for clicking wrong.  It's not a matter of being too hard of a puzzle, I just thought it was unnecessary.

Thanks for reassuring me about the item collecting

It's a good game!

Thank-you for the comments- both good and bad.

It's always good to get feedback so that you know what works and what doesn't.  The more information I have, the better the next game will be.

By the way, if you want the best possible compression, try using 7-zip. It rocks.

Been playing for a few hours and am enjoying it so far although the game is very linear, I couldnt progress to a certain point until id done a completely unrelated puzzle. Nice work on the animations and i also like the random events in town like the dog running past and the woman playing music on the street.

When debbie goes to the beach in the jungle and a little girl jumps over the rocks i got a error
in "room 92.asc", line 151

Error animateCharacter

and game stops

I use vista 64 bits??

[amanta4ray]

This error is very strange. 

I just tested that part of the game and it went through with no problems using Windows XP.  Also, just in case, I tested it on my husband's computer using Windows Vista and it played fine.  Can you give me any specifics on what you were doing just prior to the error? Maybe that can help me pinpoint it more.

Hey everyone,

    Found a slight glitch in the game, but it is an easy workaround.   After Mark gets captured by the Indian and it switches back to Debbie,  don't interact with the copy machine again in the hotel.  If you do, it will switch you back to an earlier view and there will be an error later on.

Any who experience this, just restore to an earlier point and then don't interact with the copy machine again.

Somehow, this slipped by and even my beta-testers didn't find it.

"The archive is either in unknown format or damaged"

whenever I try to unzip the file.

How big is the file?
Maybe the download is to big, I can make rar the game in several rar files so each file will be smaller..

I managed to get it working in the end!  Thanks so much though!

First of all, I'd like to say that it is obvious you put a lot of time and energy into this game, and it is very massive, and I applaud you for all your hard work. Seriously, creating a game takes serious dedication.

However I found a few things troubling: for one thing, the characters knew things about each other (for instance, how the main girl character knew about mark's past, how he was related to the shipwreck victims) that didn't make any sense. How did she know that about mark? When did she find out? Maybe I just missed something? That really bugged me.
