The size doesn't matter to me. It's so gonna be worth it! Good to hear that you've made so much progress, I'm enthusiastically waiting for the release!

Pablo: Well thank you! this is encouraging. Me as a composer, I find it terrifying to work on a game and have the game at 20 Mb and the music at 70Mb! But seeing your respones just wants me to do even more for this game.

Looks great fellas, have you tried using ogg format instead of mp3? I have heard it compresses better.

Nikolas · Thu 02/02/2006 08:03:45

It does compress, slightly better, but at least for me (I'm doing part of the music), my music has too many EQ areas covered and need 192 Kbps in mp3 format (which is a kinda waste of space, but can't have it any other way). Exporting ogg through Cubase gives me only three options and the big one is huge (twice the size of mp3), while the other is not...good enough.

Another problem would be that we have had 5-6 composers working on this amazingly huge game (True...) and we have more than 60 different tracks in various formats and qualities. Switching formats back and forth, apart from being time consuming, it is also risky for the waveform.

But anyway let me say that the game will be excellent that (hopefully) you won't mind downloading it. Anyway I believe that the voice pack will be optional.

I'll point out that ATOTK is also looking for Beta-testers.

If interested, send me a PM about it that briefly explains why you'd make a good tester.

Newsflash!

We have a trailer available! This is a 14-meg WMV movie of our intro sequence, with lovely graphics and stunning music. I encourage everybody to take a look at it!

Also, we now have public forums and are holding auditions for voice actors.

Also, people interested in beta testing are still welcome to drop me a private message.

Great to know there's some progress in this promising game!

Something to point though. I've watched the trailer and as a casual player, who's english language isn't native, I've understand almost nothing from the intro story. Maybe it's me, but personally, I'll have to watch it again to get it. Adding voices here, pictures of the main characters, gaps or slow a bit down the subs will be great! Though I don't know how important is this intro, but I think the first impressions are important.

The music was excellent! Feels kinda LOTR-ish. And the backgrounds are pretty neat too. Good job and keep it going!

Looks like you should have captured the video from AGS on a faster PC: you can see the slowdown when the rain starts...

Nikolas · Thu 16/03/2006 21:15:13

Hem, SSH, the video was captured on 2.8 GHz computer. It's not the speed that it was captured, but rather the quality of the video, which was very reduced for size issues. I don't remember exactly but I think that it has 10 fps.

Voice actors are needed, both female and male actors, with good vocal skills.
Also nice english accents would be nice. Stop by the site and try out for the many roles.

In case people were wondering why our forum disappeared... that's simply because we exceeded our bandwidth limit (due to increased traffic and several in-team demos released in the past weeks). We'll be back come April, no worries.
