scourge · Tue 31/01/2006 19:50:45

I did a small bit of beta-testing, played it through twice. It is an awesome game, Mordy! The graphics rock, the interface is beautiful and that is the best music i have heard in an amateur game! Fullstop.

Nikolas · Tue 31/01/2006 20:00:02

YEAH! more comments to come, but from inside information this game rocks as hell!

Yeah!

Can't wait to play this, only 27hrs 43 mins remaining ...

ManicMatt · Tue 31/01/2006 21:00:16

That's one hell of a surprise! A highly anticipated AGS game has actually been finished!

(If any games that came out in the past few months were highly anticipated, my apologies as I was not around then to know that)

Downloading now.... gotta wait 17 minutes!

COME ON DOWNLOAD ALREADY ARGHHHH!!!!!

Mozesh · Tue 31/01/2006 21:35:58

Wow really nice Mordalles, I love the graphics, great puzzles so far and great humour as well.
To bad I already voted for the awards because Mordy 2 would be high up in my list!

Mordalles · Tue 31/01/2006 22:32:59

thanks guys. sorry for the long download.

ManicMatt · Tue 31/01/2006 22:53:37

I just had a quick go on it before going bed, and I have to say if you have to wait an hour to download it, then do it! This game rocks hard!

I've only played five minutes of it and I don't want to stop playing! But I gotta get up early in the morning...

linus · Tue 31/01/2006 23:21:10

Haven't played it yet (I'm downloading it at the moment), but the screenshots look awesome and the first part was one of my favorite AGS games. I'm glad you didn't get yourself discouraged after all.

AlbinoPanther · Tue 31/01/2006 23:40:19

YAY Mordalles you did finish it

Now wait few days for our comments.

And you are a real AGSer the one who make games ( great games ) not like few others who talk a lot without makeing games.

Once again see you in a few days

note: if Buloght said that your game rocks than it realy ROCKS

Khris · Tue 31/01/2006 23:43:55

This is really great and especially very funny! The dialogues are so hilarious

Mordy's sideview walkcycle totally reminds me of another game using a very similar one but I can't remember its name for the sake of my own life!! Tell me which one, please, somebody

AlbinoPanther · Tue 31/01/2006 23:48:01

maybe Mordy (1) on holiday ?

Khris · Tue 31/01/2006 23:59:55

maybe not

I'm talking about the movement of the limbs and the head, not the character's appearance.

i k a r i · Wed 01/02/2006 02:28:26

khrismuc maybe you mean Laverne?

---

Mordy I'm loving the game so far, is just great, great graphics too...and great dialogues..I've just found the secret location =P
I wonder why you didn't want to release it...
anyway..I'll keep on playing..

Khris · Wed 01/02/2006 08:40:06

Don't wanna get too OT here, but this starts driving me mad

The walkcycle isn't just similar but exactly the same (smooth animation, head tilted back slightly). The resemblance is so high that I suspect Mordalles has done the other walkcycle, too.

Ps. The game rocks bigtime! The dialogues are hillarious! I can't believe that you managed to get guybrush in there! LOL

AlbinoPanther · Wed 01/02/2006 11:13:07

... great game all the way around! just a tad stuck now but hope i can go further. just when i think i need dire help, i figure it out! thats whats cool about this game, deep thinking.

Cees · Wed 01/02/2006 21:49:07

The winsetup.exe made my computer crash several times.
It won,t open,just crash the pc.
The game .exe does work but takes a very long time to open.
What could be wrong??

ps the game is looking very professional!

Mordalles · Wed 01/02/2006 21:53:11

that is weird. i just opened the winsetup, and nothing seems to be wrong.
i also dont know why its slow. what computer do you have? are you playing it in windows?

vict0r · Wed 01/02/2006 21:55:57

Okay game. Good renderings, but a bit lacking on the dialogues and story, and the "wooden" GUI is, IMO, just tacky, and annoying. Personally, i dont see what all the fuzz is about, but i'll let you have your opinions. Before you all attack me, i would like to say that i dont mean to insult anyone, just saying what i mean.

And good to see that at least someone is finishing their game

Cees · Wed 01/02/2006 22:08:20

Okay. I just wait and see what might be the problem.
In the meantime i'm going to enjoy this very nice game although it takes a while before it loads. Patience is not my strongest thing

Thanks again for your effort in solving this and congratulating you with this peace of fine art!

ildu · Wed 01/02/2006 22:58:36

The winsetup exe and the game exe are very slow for me as well. Also, on the first try I didn't get any sounds. And it's not my comp's fault, at least not of power (Athlon XP 3000+, Radeon 9800 Pro, 1gig dual ddr, Win XP). I'm guessing it's got some memory problems that the engine finds difficult to handle.

Also, what in the game is taking up so much space? It's 500megs for God's sake. At first I thought it must've been the music, probably being compressed incorrectly, but the music package doesn't take that much space. So what the hell is eating up the HD?

DonB · Wed 01/02/2006 23:23:14

*BUUUUUURP*
..sorry that was me eating the HD-space..

serious now: I'm downloading it right away mordalles! curious!

yeah, ags got tested on this game. haha, in the last month of working on this game, the game took about 10 minutes just to load into ags, and about 15 minutes to compile! just imagine me sitting there, clicking "test game" and then remembering i wanted to fix something, so i have to wait 15 minutes for the game to finish compiling and then fix the little thing, and then recompile again for 15 miuntes. haha. it was agonising!

the size, i think is due to the sprites, which was over 1500 i think, and a lot of the backgrounds are animated, like the water in the screenshot, which meant 5 backgrounds for one room. and there are 72 rooms in the game. and then, each background had a lot of colours. colours make a lot of difference.

im sorry about the download size, but i didnt want to compromise.

oh, victor, there are shortcuts if u find the gui annoying (which btw is exactly the same most other ags game.)

Barbarian · Thu 02/02/2006 05:04:16

Hey Mordy, I just d-loaded your game (the download took less than 4 minutes for me using broadband speed and a download accellerator / manager - Just in case anyone was interested in what I used for this, it's a free utility called StarDownloader , on the Download page there look for the Free version. Works great, and no spyware / adware or virus junk in it either).

Ummm, oh yeah, sorry, got off track there.
Ã,Â Ã,Â Played the game for a little bit.. So far it looks great!Ã,Â My compliments to you on such a good job.

Ã,Â Ã,Â I have a fairly fast computer and running XP, and I found the game starting up time to be okay (a little delay, but not too long - less than 10 seconds).

Ã,Â Ã,Â Though because each persons computer will have some slightly different configurations, hardware, programs / apps running in the background, drivers, etc.. the game's loadability and playing speed can vary from computer to computer.Ã,Â For people playing the current game as it is, it's possible you might get improved performance by disabling or exiting any programs or applications that may be running in the background, perhaps adjust some of the game's setting via the Winsetup options, and having a recent version of DirectX and drivers for your graphics card.

Ã,Â Ã,Â Mordalles: I found as a project gets larger and larger, yes, there will be some slowdowns in the loading times and/or performance of the game. However, I also found that using the "Resources split..." option from the AGS editor before compiling th game can help greatly with this.Ã,Â I'm working on a fairly large-size project myself at the moment, and instead of compiling my game into just one very-large .exe file, I use the "Resources split..." option, setting the number for "2" Mb, and I find the game's performance greatly improved.Ã,Â So, that's something you might consider doing with your game as well.

The following is a copy & paste about it from the AGS manual:

"Splitting resource files

Some people found that once their game became large, the single EXE file was slow at changing rooms. AGS now includes an option to split up the resource files into smaller chunks to avoid this happening. On the General Settings pane you'll notice a checkbox "Split resource files up into X Mb". If you tick this, then type in a number such as 1 or 2, then save the game, the game data will be split up into chunks that size, named GAME.001, GAME.002 and so on.
Some resources are still combined into the EXE file but all the rooms will be placed into the other files. If you use this option, you need to distribute your game's EXE file plus all the GAME.00? files."
---------------------------------------------
Ã,Â Ã,Â Anyways, it might be worth a try.

Okay, time to get back to playing your game for a bit.Ã,Â

Wretched · Thu 02/02/2006 10:21:13

I really am enjoying this romp of a game. The 30ish hour download using getright on 2.8k per second was a bit of a bind. Anyway DO IT!

Don't use Test Game. There is a instant way of testing stuff. Copy acwin.exe into the game directory, setup a shortcut in the quicklaunch area of windows then just save your room, script, what ever then click the shortcut and the game plays without the friggin exe building.

A few bugs, if you use any inventory item on the Alhoa Mura(?) spell the gui closes and you can not get the gui back unless you move to a different room.
also

Spoiler

Shoot terrorist then open inventory gui and wait. The Game hangs.

[close]

On a personal dislike, I don't like the see through buttons on the GUI. To me it just looks wrong.

Apart for that the 3D cartoon style is working better than I thought it would, you can almost order the rooms in the order they were built, you're definatly getting the hang of 3D stuff. Anims are great and add a lot to the game.

Good work. Keep it up.
EDIT: Finished! Yes I want to see Mordy 3

Mordalles · Thu 02/02/2006 11:51:44

thx for the advice guys! ill definitely try that split resources, and i will fix the bugs.

but it might be a while before i will be able to upload it, since i'm relying on someone else with broadband for that. (i have dial-up myself).

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires · Thu 02/02/2006 12:39:25

Ok, but just one thing: use ClickTeam's PatchMaker, please. If you upload a new version, we'll have to download all those MBs again... it's the difference between a 130mb download and a -3mbs download.

This was one of them I have to say.the detail you had in the hall where the pictures were and in the treasurary, on the floor,etc..was AWESOME.i mean it! the swinging light with the shadows...great!!!! Great story line,all made sense. Thouroughly enjoyed it...Make more make MORE! Keep up the good work.

If you right-click on a file-link and choose "Open in a new window", even if the link "re-directs", such as is the case with many AGS game links, in the new browser window you will see the address of the actual file link after the re-direct. Then you could simply copy & paste the url address into something like a download manager.

But it's still good to click on the link as provided by the AGS members, as most of the game's creators want to keep a rough "count" of how many times the game is being downloaded, and using the link directed through the AGS site will activate the counter.

Cheers.

Kaelem Gaen · Sat 04/02/2006 05:40:32

Ran into a Bug... After saving a few times, my Save Game name dissappeared... and stuff started going weird, um... for example I have like 20 games some how saved on it, when I was only saving on one file. Not sure if anyone else ran into that problem

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires · Sat 04/02/2006 10:32:58

Not wanting to butt in where I don't actually know, but if I can hazard a guess, it sounds like MOrdalles didn't put a check in a custom Save GUI. And when you do that and it reaches 20, it can act a bit weird.

Terric, one thing you can do is go to your gamefolder and delete some savegames. They're the ones that say "agssave". The smaller the number, the earlier your savegame is. You probably don't need the first 5 or so savegames anymore.

Mordalles · Sat 04/02/2006 10:57:11

i actually did put in a check to see if you have saved 20 times or not. if you select a savegame, and then save, it will overwrite that savegame, but if you select a savegame, and type something else in, it will save it in a new slot. if you didnt type in anything, he will save in a new slot without any name. if you already have 20 savegames and you type in a new save name, he will overwrite the last savegame.
my guess is you saved each time with nothing typed in the textbox, , so he kept on saving in a new slot? but i might be wrong.

but ill go and have a look anyway. i might have made a mistake somewhere. thx for letting me know.

Mordalles · Sat 04/02/2006 11:27:05

i just tested the saving, and i couldnt find any bug.
i saved 20 times, and the message saying that i cant save more than 20 came up (although, it was a bit unreadable

), and i tried saving again, and everything worked fine. he automatically overwrote the last save game.

so, terricmoonborn, i think you kept on saving without typing anything in the textbox and withouth selecting a current save game, so the game kept on saving in an new slot without any caption. therefore, when you brought up the load screen, you saw a lot of save game without captions (there it just looked like a blank screen), and the save game with the caption wasnt on screen. you had to scroll down to get to it.

i think ill change it so that when you dont type in anything in the textbox, that the game wil then save it as "default" or maybe even put the time in there. that will eliminate confusion, i think.

thx.

The winsetup.exe made my computer crash several times.
It won,t open,just crash the pc.
The game .exe does work but takes a very long time to open.
What could be wrong??

Some anti-virus and security programs, such as Zone Alarm, automatically scan EXE files when you run them.

Because this game has a large (> 500 MB) exe file, it could well be that your anti-virus program is scanning the whole file before it actually lets you launch the game, which would cause quite a slowdown.

Mordalles, the easiest way to avoid this is to set the "Split game resources" on, and set the split file size to 100 MB or something -- that way, the EXE should remain small so as not to cause problems with anti-virus software.

As a temporary fix for Cees/ildu, you could try temporarily disabling ZoneAlarm or applications of that type and see if it fixes the load time. However I woudln't recommend doing so while you're connected to the internet, for obvious reasons.

Hi Mordalles,

I played Mordy 1 and thought highly of it, but the sequel just blows it away IMO. Everything about the game is so polished it's amazing. You truly deserve a pat on the back for seeing this game through to the end. The music was excellent as well, and they deserve kudos too.

I liked the multiple endings. Both were pretty clever.

Mordy 2 goes alongside Prodigal and Crave as my favorite AGS games during the past few years. And yes, please make a Mordy 3!

marlamoe · Sun 05/02/2006 07:47:21

Read through the thread so I am hoping I didn't miss it if anyone else already posted this. On the screen with lasers, I got this message and then *crash*

An error has occured. Please contact the game author for support, as this is likely to be a scripting error and not a bug in AGS. (in global script line 1161) Error: ObjectON: invalid object specified.

Hi Mordy!
Nice game, and I'm looking forward to part 3. I found a few minor glitches, though. In the tavern, the GUI with inventory, save etc sometimes vanishes, but I didn't find out why. Also in the

Spoiler

cell, when I used the sharp metal piece on the wire or on the wire and pipe (I wanted to make an arrow)

[close]

Also enjoyed your infantery game, very funny

Mordalles · Sun 05/02/2006 11:39:36

wow, thanks lazers!

marmeloe, thanks, i'll have a look at that right away, and hopefully fix it!

stomannch, yes, i already fixed it when you use something on the metal and wire and the metal piece. i havent updated it yet, though. i also saw a bug where i forgot to turn back on the gui when you use something with telekinesis. maybe that was the problem in the inn.

thx for the bug reports. i'll hopefully get the fixed version up this week.

wow, thanks lazers!Ã,Â

marmeloe, thanks, i'll have a look at that right away, and hopefully fix it!

stomannch, yes, i already fixed it when you use something on the metal and wire and the metal piece. i havent updated it yet, though. i also saw a bug where i forgot to turn back on the gui when you use something with telekinesis. maybe that was the problem in the inn.

thanks for the bug reports. i'll hopefully get the fixed version up this week.

Thankfully you've decided.

I will inform my comments.

Absolutely fabulous game!
Sadly I am now at the same point as some of the others, the serpent girl has vanished. $:-\$ I saw her the first time I went in the tavern but never since. So I ran my cursor around various places in the tavern and discovered a "hot spot" in the band room of the tavern, between the fireplace and the hat is a hot spot that comes up with TheArrow3 nothing can be done there, it's just a bit intriguing!

I see the same hotspot, you're a good pixelhunter

Lies · Mon 06/02/2006 12:22:25

I now have replayed Mordy without any problems. Snakegirl is this time where she belongs, happy for me, but I wished I could have told Mordalles where it went wrong the first time.

Thanks Mordalles for making and supporting such a nice 99.9% perfect game, I enjoyed it very much and can barely wait for a sequel!

Mordalles · Mon 06/02/2006 12:34:40

thx lies. im glad it worked this time!

i have a question. lies just let me know he/she was playing the game in 320x200 resolution.

kediri, are you also playing the game at 320x200? im just wondering if that is maybe causing the snake girl to disappear, since i cant seem to recreate the bug. but i have never ever tested this game on 320x200.

peter · Mon 06/02/2006 14:36:45

Thanks Mordalles for this excellent adventure game
Only got many time frozen when i used the spell but i have finished it.
And what are the good and what are the bad ending ?

Mordalles, I'm playing the game under the original win setup 640 x 400.

Mordalles · Tue 07/02/2006 19:21:56

the first link now has the latest version of mordy 2. all the known bugs are fixed. (except for the sinister disappearing snake lady)

thx for everyone who informed me of bugs. i want to make a patch for those who already downloaded the game, but i have no idea how.

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires · Tue 07/02/2006 21:58:59

http://www.clickteam.com

Or was it http://www.clickteam.org?

Anyway, CLickTeam has a program called PatchMaker. You need a copy of the OLD compiled game and the NEW, fixed game. Then run the program. It'll compare them and output a file that'll update the old version to the new one.

Mordalles · Tue 07/02/2006 22:54:09

you need the old version! . . . OOPS!

i updated to the new one, but didnt keep a version of the old one. :o
what am i to do now?

Khris · Wed 08/02/2006 00:20:39

The Devil and the Death (CS guy) are still clickable after dissappearing, I think you only made them transparent and forgot to turn them off afterwards.
(Sorry, if this has been said before, couldn't be bothered to read the whole thread.)

Mordalles · Wed 08/02/2006 00:25:59

are you sure. I'm pretty sure i fixed that and tested it.

EDIT: i just went and tested it, and couldn't find anything wrong. the counter strike guy is not there anymore, neither a hotspot anywhere. not that i could find. and death is still there, as he should be.

when you upload a new version to the same spot on a ftp where the old version was, he automatically overwrites it, right?

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires · Wed 08/02/2006 08:44:31

Mordalles - I've been slacking a bit on updating the games archive, but by luck I had added Mordy 2.

http://aafiles.bicycle-for-slugs.org/full/Mordy%202%20-%20The%20Mirror%20of%20Truth.rar

That's the old version.

Mordalles · Wed 08/02/2006 20:02:12

hehe, thx rui. okay, the patch will only be availabe at the end of the month (due to cap limit), when a friend (same guy who uploaded it for me) can download the old version, from rui, at his work, since i have dial-up myself. then i'll make the patch and put it up.

haha, i have to download my own game now. haha.

sorry for the delay. i wish i had broadband! :'( . . . or made a smaller game. hehe.

ness · Thu 09/02/2006 02:42:22

Fantastic game! It's in my top 5,,,, no make that top 3.

and definitely a vote for mordy 3. I thought wretched was a genius but you can join the ranks too IMHO.

Mordalles · Thu 09/02/2006 19:02:55

wow, top 3! hehe, thanks ness!!

Afflict · Sat 11/02/2006 21:13:34

Awesome game, sofar have played just a little been busy with alot of the other games!

Well done mordalles keep up the good work! Really like the way you did the preset graphics.
Everything just blends into each other, I kind off missed some speech... Speech pack!

Elliott Hird · Sat 11/02/2006 21:17:16

I'm downloading it and will mirror it soon.

Mordalles · Sat 11/02/2006 21:20:13

afflict, hehe, thanks, and about the speech pack . . . maybe i should look into that, since missychelle already said she will do her character's voice.

hmm.

thanks, elliot!

Elliott Hird · Sat 11/02/2006 21:27:07

*stab* *stab* *stab*

MissyChelle · Sun 12/02/2006 02:50:07

I absolutely loved the game!! I am definately looking forward to another one!

Mordalles · Sun 12/02/2006 20:30:38

hehe, thanks missychelle, and i might contact you about that speech pack . . . 8)

thanks, sixty-nine.

Afflict · Sun 12/02/2006 22:52:02

Yay!!! Speech pack!

Well shout if you need another voice I nkow plenty
Yoda, smeedle and well a couple of others...

MissyChelle · Mon 13/02/2006 19:23:58

Yeah no problem!

splat44 · Mon 13/02/2006 19:27:07

I also like that game as well.

Speech pack?

I certainly hope you get bigger hosting services that can handle that.

Cheers

Petra · Tue 14/02/2006 00:12:03

Just to give you a feedback...

Thank you for this jewel of a game!!!

It was fantasic!!!! I enjoyed every minute

Mordalles · Tue 14/02/2006 19:12:33

thanks, petra! i'm glad you enjoyed it!

thanks, splat44. yeah, a speech pack would be huge, considering all the lines of dialogue. hmm.

linus · Wed 15/02/2006 21:34:23

Finally finished it. I loved the puzzles, for the most part they were very logical, but not too easy either, and very diverse as well. The only puzzle I didn't like

Spoiler

was the one with the rock creature in the cavern. Was there any clue to that solution?

[close]

Also, I found the music absolutely amazing, it creates a fantastic surreal mood that fits the game perfectly. I really didn't think 3D render graphics would work out for a Mordy game, but you pulled that off very well also. Overall, one of the best and most atmospheric AGS games ever. Congrats! Of course I'd love to see a Mordy 3!

Mordalles · Thu 16/02/2006 19:10:16

thanks, linus! thanks for the great comments!

yeah, i have to thank the 2 musicians for their great work. one of them (francois) is now touring to the other side of our country with their band mindassault.

Afflict · Fri 17/02/2006 17:14:47

Kewl any released cds from mind assault?

Mordalles · Sat 18/02/2006 19:30:03

hehe, they have a cd, im not sure where it is available, thoug. hey, don't you live in johannesburg, afflict. they are currently playing around there somewhere.

Afflict · Sun 19/02/2006 10:15:16

Yip up here in JHB so tell me where they at?

Mordalles · Mon 20/02/2006 19:59:50

hehe, it seems they played in johannesburg this past weekend. they are playing at Zeplins in Pretoria next.

Afflict · Wed 22/02/2006 19:41:45

Wow, I am still just in awe with these graphics! And on the upside its huge!
No really, I want a speech pack.

Mordalles · Fri 24/02/2006 19:44:47

hehe, thanks afflict.
i have been thinking of a speech pack, and i think it would be more trouble than i can handle, since there are sooo many lines of dialogue in the game, which would make it impractical. $:-\$

Afflict · Fri 24/02/2006 21:11:57

I guess your right, the game does spot alot of dialogue and thats just one of its awesome features.

Afflict straightens tie and turns on his salesman charm

But wait if you download now...

Mordalles · Fri 03/03/2006 22:51:37

since my brother has change jobs, he will no longer be able to download the older version of my game, so i can't make a patch of the game anymore for those who downloaded the game in the 1st week of its release. i am deeply sorry. $:-\$
but for those who still hasn't played it, try it.

(yes, i know, shameless)

Afflict · Sat 04/03/2006 06:20:22

Sorry why do we need a patch?

Mordalles · Sat 04/03/2006 19:49:28

Quote from: Afflict on Sat 04/03/2006 06:20:22

oh, the patch was only going to be for the people who downloaded the game in the first week, when there were still about 7 "little" bugs in the game. so that they don't have to redownload 138mb, but only 3mb.

NurseRonnie · Wed 08/03/2006 22:45:22

there's a mordy 1? I'm gonna play that right now! How'd I miss that ??

Allustar · Mon 13/03/2006 05:09:52

Finished both Mordy 1 and Mordy 2 respectively.
Awesome games.
The second one is the best though..

Although there are still a few bugs in this version (the newer one)

Spoiler

None of the bugs are fatal thankfully.
1) There is a bug after you get the multi-shot spell. After the disk disappears the hotspot for the disk is still there.
2) When the devil disappears the hotspot for the devil is still there.
3) When you go to the mountain place to fight to possessed dinosaur scotsman, walk to the left instead of going up the stairs and you'll be at the top.
4) When you talk to the innkeeper, he says "First door on the left"... You meant "on the right." There are no doors on the left side of the hallway.
5) There's a leftover hotspot next to the fireplace that says Arrow3 (something like that) it's very hard to find but it's on the right frame near the top corner of one of the chairs in the background. |\ at the point.

Found all three ends. 1) Good? ending with the princess, 2) Good? ending without the princess, 3) Bad ending Go to Hell.

Is there an ending where you can take the princess with you without her snapping at you for leaving her back there?

[close]

Wonderful job though. Is there someplace to get the game's soundtrack? =P

Mordalles · Mon 13/03/2006 19:11:46

thanks, allustar! yeah, i know about those bugs where a hotspot still appears, but seeing that the game is so large, i'll only upload a newer version if there is a real fatal bug.

i might get a faster internet connection in the near future, so if that happens, i'll be able to update it myself, without relying on somebody else.

left? haha, sorry about that. i didn't even know about that. thanks for letting me know!

yeah, you found all the endings.

the complete soundtrack is not downloadable, although i think i should look into that.

thanks for the great feedback!

adventuregamegal · Sun 02/04/2006 05:33:13

Hey, I thought that Mordy 2 was one of most professional looking games made so far with AGS.Ã,Â The graphics were fantastic, the dialogue was entertaining, and the story was cute.Ã,Â I have only one slightly negative comment to make.Ã,Â I thought it was too hard with too much running around, and too many pauses to check the forums.Ã,Â It seemed like nothing I thought should make sense did, I thought some things were a little far out.Ã,Â I'm sorry, but I like to figure the stuff out...maybe it was just a bad couple of days for me and I had a massive brain fart.Ã,Â Please, keep making the games.

calacver · Tue 04/04/2006 09:00:41

I agree with adventuregal, one of the most professional looking AGS games yet.

I just completed it and have to say, awesome! I found the puzzles just right, you have think a little, but not too difficult.

dougiedevil · Sat 08/04/2006 07:18:07

Thank you for providing not just one, but two fantastic games. I've been a fan of point-and-click since I played Maniac Mansion on the commodore 64 when I was just a kid. You have truly made games that rank right up there with the best of the classics. I can't wait to see what you'll do for part 3!

Mordalles · Mon 10/04/2006 20:25:18

thanks for the great replies, guys!

Hammer · Sun 02/07/2006 22:27:17

I just heard about the two Mordy games today. Why have they been removed from the AGS database? Where can I download them?

Thanks.

yutftyv · Mon 03/07/2006 09:15:18

why this games are removed?

Dreamless · Tue 04/07/2006 13:35:08

"This game has been removed.

WARNING! This game has been rated "Frequent, strong" for violence, and is therefore unlikely to be suitable for children or people who are easily offended."

*Copied from the gamepage.*

Steel Drummer · Sat 08/07/2006 01:47:11

I contacted Mordalles himself and he told me all of his dark, dark, dark secrets and explained that he is the priest of a satanic cult and the cult demanded that he remove the game. Another reason was because it took up 130MB to download (around 24 hours on 56K) and it wasn't very popular (or so Mordalles says).

m0ds · Sat 08/07/2006 17:48:38

Quoteit wasn't very popular

7 pages of replies seems to suggest otherwise...

Mordalles · Sat 08/07/2006 19:09:29

to clarify:
i removed the game because looking at the download count, it was not increasing anymore. thus, it seemed like everyone who was going to download the game, has done it by now, so it didnt see any reason for asking someone else to host a 140mb game for me any longer.

Nikolas · Sat 08/07/2006 19:49:16

Mordy:

If you don't mind I would like to host it.

I hope that it won't kill my trafic...

honestly send it over (as I had my drives erased due to a virus) and I'll host it.

Take care also,

Nikolas

linus · Sun 09/07/2006 08:20:50

Well, if people haven't been downloading your game recently, it's certainly not because they don't like it, Mordalles. It's just that it isn't widely known yet (which is very unfortunate, because it is a terrific game). Putting it in your signature and creating new games (maybe smaller ones) from time to time might help.

It seems it still can be downloaded here:

Ashkante · Sat 15/07/2006 12:38:00

And how about the new members ? This is an expanding community and even if they don't hear about it right away when people play your latest games , like the excellent Duty and Beyond , they would want to download your previous games.I, for one, am going to do so!

Thank you very much for the link! Now, where can I find Mordy 1??? (Surely that one isn't too big...)

Steel Drummer · Wed 11/10/2006 05:02:58

I downloaded it the other day, since we got high speed internet a while ago, and the game is CRAZZYYYY!!!! The characters don't even look 3d, they look like clay or something, it's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

thewalrus · Wed 11/10/2006 05:21:15

I dowloaded a long time ago, but I am still playing the first game in the series. I've actually been looking for a walkthrough for the first installment. Does anyone know of one anywhere? (I've tried doing searches for one with no luck)

Mordalles · Wed 11/10/2006 10:10:55

thanks, steel drummer!

walrus, i'm not aware of a walkthrough, but most of what you have to do has been covered here: http://americangirlscouts.org/bbc.com/yabb/index.php?topic=22727.0

Fleshstalker · Tue 27/03/2007 16:07:13

Sorry to post in a old topic, but does this game link from the AGS page actually work? I've downloaded a large file game only to get screwed when unzipping the file.

I just do't want to get screwed again especially withis this huge file. I got a download manager so it will take me 3-4 days tops.

Ah screw it! I got meself a download manager and downloading it! Already 10MB down! YAY!

Well, looks like the link to the download keeps giving me a new download once I stop and resume. Stupid ass website that is linked to it probably doesn't have the resume feature. BASTARDS. Looks like I'll have to wait till I get high speed intaweb.

Centurion · Wed 13/06/2007 21:39:23

Dead stuck with life key

Spoiler

Tried everything on everything with no success. I have no idea what pitchforks is for, also sniper rifle, and just got a rope, not used anywhere yet. I can't ride a boat, i don't know what fountain of young is for. Upthere it's said something like "for key of life read book in the hall of the inn", yes i did, nothing interesting there, just a name, innkeeper told where that guy lives.

Centurion · Thu 14/06/2007 09:48:12

Thanks a lot done it, still i found not mentioned bugs:

Spoiler

1) You can fill bucklet with water again, after you fresh dude falled from duel arena, and instead of getting one filled bucklet you got one filled and one empty
2)In hell escaping i used pipe and wire again on lasers and this crashed game, probably i must not have them, maybe that was because i kept my bucklets

[close]

TheCheese33 · Wed 20/06/2007 20:39:57

I had no idea this was even released! Mordalles, I enjoyed the first one, and you need to let everyone know of this second one.

Steel Drummer · Fri 22/06/2007 01:27:34

Don't blame Mordalles for not publicizing his game; he's a South african, and from what I've seen, they're very humble about these sorts of things. Buloght (a superb South african pixeler) thinks his own art needs improvement. But everyone else thinks otherwise.

If Mordy 2 was Dave Gilbert's game, it would probably be remade with tons of features and updated graphics (not like they need to be), and it would probably go commercial. Nothing against Dave, but I like the down-to-earth, laid-back South Africans better. On the other hand, I am somewhat surprised that Mordy 2 hasn't received as much attention as other games, like Spooks, or The Shivah, but that doesn't make the game any less great. In fact, this is probably one of the best AGS games, in part due to the amazing 3D rendered graphics, which almost look like claymation. You are a great developer, Mordalles, and I'm anticipating your next AGS game(s)! If you need any help with any games (mainly the musical side of things), don't hesitate to PM me.

Afflict · Fri 22/06/2007 06:07:02

This is one of the games you will get labeled as a cult classic. Man this game was something else, weird and wonderful. Unfortunately when the size gets huge like this people tend to avoid the download... Thats their loss, the game was awesome.

The Commercial vs Non commercial is completely up to the developer. I respect the guys making commercial games I do agree they have the right to get reimbursed for their efforts and good efforts at that. I like Dave Gilberts games, and I think it's awesome what he is doing. I also respect what every other developer that makes non commercial games are doing, providing us with amazing games that we can play for free, and just have fun.

Comparing the two is impossible, (commercial vs non commercial) Let's face it, commercial games are starting to get more skilled people to join into one specific game and they all work together to make it great. You get the game in a nice realistic time frame, and it has good quality. Whilst the non commercial games are made generally one person in their spare time creating the game purely because they love to make games. There is no guarantee the game will ever see the light of day, or get updated or have extras and more features.

I however believe that if Buloght / Mordalles ever do attempt to create a commercial game you can put me on the pre buyer list at no1 cause they have a good history in game creation. I would have gladly paid for Duty & Beyond, it's to this day my most favorite game on AGS. Regardless of the graphics, I love the game purely because of its content. Sure I would love to see the game in a nice hi res graphic version with a awesome composed sound and loads of extras and features, but let's face it the highly adorable awesome pixel graphics have become part of what made it great. (To me anyway) And to state the blatantly obvious hectic graphics would take ages to complete. The game is HUGE, if you have played it you would know how much gfx there are already in the game.

Ok so before I ramble to much off topic, I just want to say once again. Amazing game Mordalles, keep me on your no1 buy spot for any commercial games in future

Steel Drummer · Sat 23/06/2007 20:25:19

And I'd be number 2 on your list! I doubt that Mordalles would ever make any commercial games, because he doesn't seem to care about money, and he cares more about people having fun playing a good game.

Afflict · Sun 24/06/2007 09:05:00

Probably not but it's people like Mordalles we need in commercial game dev.
