Prodigal version 1.0 released!

Ozzie · Thu 27/10/2005 23:45:47

Again off-topic: I found out that 7zip could even compress slightly better than RAR-compressing does.

I'm awaiting the release of Prodigal for quite some time now. I hope it gets as excellent as I think of it!!

thanks, and its A REALLY COOL trailer you have when you walk far right. i like it!

Spoiler

I think you have to look at the portal because he'll say: 'it's dry like tinder' or something.

BTW, I'm seriously looking forward to Prodigal!

As far as I remember you have to use the book or paper on the portal so you have a material that you can light properly.

Hi,

I must warn you that demo version have bugs.

So far what you've done in demo will not apear in the full version.

I know, what I'm talking since I did took part of the beta version and I must that Trisk done an excellent job.

To all when to play with the demo, go into it but it worth to wait until full version comes.

Believe you wouldn't want to miss it.

Regards

thx for the help.

must say i really like the atmosphere of the game. thats what i look for in games, atmposphere. a lot of commercia games just lacks that atmosphere.

The only problem with Prodigal 0 was that I didnt know what the hell was going on? Will this all be explained in Prodigal?

Mordalles · Mon 31/10/2005 20:24:01

well, from what i could tell, you're looking for a woman or girl (he says you haven't found "her" yet when you quit the game), and you are somewhere between 2 worlds.

its actually making me kinda curious. wanna know whats going on. i like these kinda games.

Trisk · Fri 04/11/2005 05:07:48

OK, I don't know how to do the hidden text trick, so I'll just write the answer to the problem with Prodigal 0 here. Use the BOOK on the portal. Instant tinder!

As to what the heck is going on...Prodigal will explain what is happening in Prodigal 0. Prodigal 0 is just a taste of what is to come in the main game! I made it confusing on purpose. :b The main game won't be like that at all.

I'm wrapping up Beta testing. I'm pretty sure we're bug free at this point. (Knock on wood) I need to do a final pass through the text to remove any speelling heirrors, but other than that, we are on track for release next week!

Spread the word!
Trisk

BTW, I'm including a full walkthrough along with the game when you download it. No more getting stuck and having to hunt around online for answers! Hopefully you all will like this...? :b

Mordalles · Fri 04/11/2005 21:51:58

yay, good news. of course we'll like it!

Ozzie · Sat 05/11/2005 00:41:48

Hm, an ingame hint system would be a better idea, but that would mean more additional work of course. Make it like you think. I'm just curious if I will peak every time in the walkthrough when I get stuck for two seconds. Probably I will. $:-\$

Mordalles · Sat 05/11/2005 19:16:03

haha, yeah, ive realised that if i have i walkthrough my mind just don't want to think. its as if my mind knows theres a walkthrough, so why do any work? haha. but i think giving us a walkthough is cool.

Trisk · Sat 05/11/2005 20:15:33

Well, you always have the option of deleting it. :b

The reason I decided to do that is because of my experiences playing games like Pleurghburg. I ended up searching the internet for a LONG time to find a walkthrough of the game. Some of the more esoteric AGS games can be monsterously hard to find walkthroughs for...so I wanted to make sure mine wasn't that way.

I want you to enjoy the story, not get stuck and give up and go do something else...

Laters,
Trisk

---Monday 11/07/05 Update---

Its 12:10 in the morning where I am, and I'm so tired I can hardly type. But I am VERY proud to announce that at long last Prodigal is locked down at version 1.0!!!

The Beta has been loooong and frustrating, but the game is finally complete, and I am reasonably certain it is bug free. I've cleared it with lilgryphmaster, and we are gonna post it on Tuesday!

Turn off the lights, put on a pair of headphones, and get ready to enter the horror world of Prodigal!

Oh, and lemme know what you think!

---11/09/05 Update---

Prodigal version 1.0 is released! Sorry it was a day late...totally my fault. For some reason I couldn't get the file to upload to the webmaster. My computer kept bombing out halfway through the upload. By the time I finally got it to him, there wasn't much left of Tuesday. But it's here now! Go download it now! Turn down the lights, crank up the sound! It's time to enter the world of Prodigal!

If you like it, spread the word! And drop me an email! Now I gotta go figure out what I need to do to get it converted over to a completed game in the AGS webpage...will the moderators lock this thread, so I need to start a new one over in the completed games forum, or will they move this one over? Time to go check it out.

yours,
Trisk
