Also just found small (non serious) a bug:

Spoiler

if you turn light off then shut the "door" on the circuit box and bite off the wire, when he then go to turn light back on the door just keeps shut when he turn the light back on, then he close the closed door.

Roughly 170MB zipped ? why games getting so big?

Peder 🚀 · Sun 01/07/2007 21:16:59

Candle:
Because they include well made cutscenes, pro music and speech

Code: ags

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.
(ACI version 2.72.920)

in Room script (line 33)

Error: NewRoom: Cannot run this command, since there is a RestartGame command already queued to run

Drat. It seems Earl's not in speaking terms with AGS Linux. I'll have to hunt down a windows box to play this one...

Nikolas · Mon 02/07/2007 00:13:25

HAHA!

YAY!

Billy, I won't edit my post, I will repost when I've played this! Just one short question: Why not offer a zip and a rar folder? in rar this could very well be rather less than 170 Mb... (in RAR it's 128 Mb, for anyone wondering. It's not THAT big a difference really)

Still this is one of the games I've been really looking forward to!

If anyone has any tips on how to get the game "out there", besides just sitting around, please do tell.

Banners also help, as well as (even) communities like myspace, facebook, etc...

Contact also magazines, etc, to include the game in their CD offerings?

Ok enough for a first post with no impressions... I'll be back sooner or later.

I cant get this game to work.After I download it and try to extract it,it says there are no files.

Nlogax · Mon 02/07/2007 08:14:46

Looks good. D/L now.

TripOne · Mon 02/07/2007 10:07:28

Cool one, but the cutsceens (including the intro) runs just like fast forward but not the audio (it's cut when the FF ends). Tryed several winsetup.exe options and the compatibility options. Nothing worked.

Win XP Home and Win XP 64bit Pro with the latest updates.

Any ideas?

Glad you like it! For those interested, you can download the soundtrack here or here. Use the first if you want just one or two tracks, and the second if you want it all properly labeled.

In the next version, with the various bugs that will/has been found fixed, I'll offer a .rar option and an .exe installer option if that helps.

I find this odd. The videos require the Cinepak Codec by Radius, but that should be included in all new computers since Windows 95.

On all the computers I tested the game on it worked fine, so I have no idea.

i get a error in the start

idirectdrawmediastream getformat failet

but i can play the game ?

Where does this error appear and in what form? Is it an error from the AGS engine or the standard Windows warning window? Does the cutscenes work?

Jon · Mon 02/07/2007 14:47:49

I have been waiting for this for months! Great game.

Aaaaah, I always knew that Anime was evul, but DAMN it's sweet!!!

Ok, cleared of jokes now; Once you mentioned it was a codec, I tryed to substitute mine for that site's and didn't worked, so I thought it could only be CCCP(Combined Community Codec Pack)(I just had XP Home reinstalled). It worked. Now let's see if I can finish this before the Anime fever comes down on me.
Thanks for the tip.

Off to the game now.

Thanks for the tip.

What solved the problem? Installing or uninstalling CCCP? This could be useful information for people with the same problem in the future.

Also glad you got the game to work.

The website is up, thanks to Peder for setting it all up for me. It'll take 1-2 hours before it's fully functional though.
