Downloading....

[edit] xcuse me ??  :o :o :o  362Mb???

[Akatosh]

As evidenced by the source code, there are, in fact, a lot of screenshots available - here, here, here, here, here, here aaaand here. No idea why they don't show up properly.

Also:

a) please refrain from TYPING ALL CAPS (we can read small letters just fine!)
b) please tell us some more about the actual game (how is it played, how long is it, why is the file so freaking HUGE ...)
c) consider getting a spelling / grammar checker
d) forgive me for being an ass 

and

e) welcome to the forums, and congratulations on finishing your first game. I'll download it as soon as there's an English version available.

I was quite willing to check the Italian version out, I haven't used my Italian in years, but you know what they say: asino che ha fame mangia di ogni strame - but: Megaupload has canceled my download twice for no good reason and the third time I got a time out error. Big file, big problems.

[Leon]

When I try to view the screenshots I get:
"You don't have permission to access /2/2/0/0/8/9/6/1216228023.jpg on this server."

I also haven't been able to get the complete game yet but pausing and resuming does the trick.... 4 times already.

Meh, c'è "forbidden" dappertutto sugli screenshot! Complimenti comunque per aver pubblicato il tuo primo gioco, se ti serve una mano ocn l'inglese dimmelo!

[Dualnames]

No so se li serva una mano ma se essere possibile preferirei di avere qualcosa da vedere prima di giocare 362 mb.

Right, finally got the game. First of all congratulations on publishing your first game!
Here's my first impression.

Eehhhh....

My second impression: what can I say? The first looks are very chaotic. The characters are well drawn but the rooms are very (colour)full and 'messy'. I'm not sure of that's the right word but I don't know where to look or click.  I think when you bring back the colour and brightness of the rooms and the numerous animations in each room, the game becomes more attractive to players (at least to me). There are a lot of locations to visit so I think the game can take a while but after five locations my eyes couldn't take anymore. I think the way Captain Fortuna walks is also adding to the chaotic impression.

The texts and dialogs are all in uppercase so it's a lot of 'shouting' going on (or is that the way they normally speak in Italy?  ) It might be the font used, but I'm not really fond of it...
The chosen music is (in my opinion) a bit inapropriate to the surroundings of the game but maybe that changes once I see the translated version. Speaking of music....

You published the full game, including all your sources and including all full audio tracks (thank god they're MP3 and not WAV...  )
When you publish the game again, only publish the contents of the 'compiled' folder. That's more than enough. Then you even might want to consider to split the archive and put the music.vox in a music addon. Then the player can decide to download the 148Mb extra of music or not, if not it only leaves a downloadable file of 57Mb and I think that's more realistic for a game with this looks and number of locations.

Good luck with this release and future projects, I'll certainly be playing if the English version is out. ... eehhh... well... since I've got the sourcecode, why not translate myself... Hmmm. better not. My Italian is worst than your Dutch...   

[edit] Debug mode is still on...

I lolled hard for half an hour after having read that!

Allora, posso dire che e tanto difficile con tutti questi i colori che ho perso la voglia di giocare, se non era tanto difficile di vederlo , potervo dire che sarebbe piu facilde da giocare.

[Frodo]

Sorry.. well, I said it's just that the colors are very weird (for the menus) and despite I 'd like to play it's virually impossible.

It looks like a couple of people have downloaded this game and played it. Has anyone had any trouble getting the game to start? When I click on "NUOVO GIOCO" ("NEW GAME"), the game hangs.

EDIT: I've downloaded the game and been playing it for a while now. The interface is a bit fiddly to use at times but the game is well worth playing, I think, and has given me a lot of laughs too.

EDIT: An English version is now available: download it from here (59M approx).

The music pack (which is the reason for the original file being so huge) is being uploaded separately so people can choose whether or not to download it.

About the game:

Where Man has failed...
