Sweet! I'm looking forward to it.

Athanor · Fri 03/01/2020 21:00:18

Lovely screenshots! But as it's already the 3rd I sincerely hope the "January 1st" on the website doesn't refer to January 2021...

Cassiebsg · Fri 03/01/2020 21:06:08

It's not.

There's a few glitches that are being ironed on.

I'm very happy to hear that!

Monsieur OUXX · Sat 04/01/2020 02:14:39

Bump!
the game is available for download!

Honza · Sat 04/01/2020 13:46:29

Looks good! Already stuck though

. Can't make any sense of that first skull puzzle.

Cassiebsg · Sat 04/01/2020 14:52:23

Maybe we should open a tips thread...

Tip

Spoiler

Look at the colored stained glass and read your book.

Honza · Sat 04/01/2020 15:24:03

Did both of those, no idea what it's trying to tell me

.

Spoiler

Here's what I was thinking:

The window:
the verb has one: if the verb is the symbol on the right, then one of the skulls on the right has to be pressed? Which one?
the soul has one: so if the soul is the symbol on the left, then one of those skulls?
the other one has three: if the other one is the heart, then three of the middle skulls have to be pressed?

The book:
Add one to the heart: so not three, but four skulls in the middle? Which ones?
The soul has one more: Not one but two skulls on the left? Which ones? Trial and error I guess?
The verb needed one more: not one but two on the right then?

Tried all possible combinations of those numbers and nothing. Oh and by the way, does it generate different hints every time? My save crashes, so started a new game and some of the hints were different... cool feature if that's what it is

Cassiebsg · Sat 04/01/2020 15:30:54

Yes, you're in the right track.

Spoiler

Look closely at the stained glass. Think you missed a spot.

Oh, and "which one" doesn't matter, as long as it's correct number.

And yes, it generates a new combination and clues to follow for each new game...

Honza · Sat 04/01/2020 15:38:33

Ok, got it

Thanks! Love the short intro sequence by the way, very much in the spirit of the original games.

Spoiler

Didn't miss it, but interpreted â€œhe's the one whose words I should followâ€ as â€œdo what the scroll he's holding tells youâ€, not â€œonly use the st John hintâ€. Maybe â€œhe's the *only* oneâ€ would make it clearer? Or maybe I'm an idiot

Oh wow! That was really fun.

Took me about an hour to complete it. Cool intro, good puzzles, good music, overall a great classic Indy feel.

It was also cool playing the original demo. Been a long time, you guys have certainly came a long way. Keep up the great work!

Jojo_the_monkey · Mon 06/01/2020 10:47:03

I played your demo and definetely you captured the Indy\Lucasartesque aesthetic! It is not an easy task to reproduce and create a new adventure! I liked your story very much.
It was little bit rough on the edges, like the UI or some puzzles, but I understand your work to deliver it on holidays!! Bravo to the team and I am looking forward for the bigger adventure!

Monsieur OUXX · Tue 07/01/2020 05:58:28

Yes it was a bit rough around the edges, I totally agree; we struggled to meet the deadline. In a little while I'll go back to it and polish it up. By the way, some people think that you have to click twice on an object to use it. No no no. Just click on the object once without click on "use" beforehand.

About the tips: We should follow the usual AGS practice and create a hints and tips thread. Othrwise you can ask for tips directly on our forums : http://binarylegends.net/forum/index.php/topic,976.0.html
Great job by the way cassiebsg

There are translations on the way!

It's beautiful too see that this project is still alive! I just wanted to say that my name is "Ã–cek" not "Ocek". It would be nice if you could change that name in the credits. Thank you very much!

Cassiebsg · Fri 17/01/2020 00:24:59

We're working on getting translations working, but the current font used in the demo does not support special characters.
I have coded a temporary fix using other fonts that are in the demo unused. But it's currently an unofficial and unreleased version.

Hi Tolga! I had to change it to Ocek temporarily because our font was lousy and didn't have special characters (as cassiebsg pointed out). We should introduce proper fonts in version 1.1, for translations. If your name is still Ocek in version 1.1 then you're allowed to send us death threats

Monsieur OUXX · Mon 27/01/2020 15:58:03

Damn it! Just 4 days too late for the 2019 awards!

Oh yes! I've been eagerly awaiting this one opening up again.

So little time to play now, but I've got to make room for this.

Flugeldufel · Thu 17/12/2020 08:19:34

Oh yes!!! Gonna play it tonight.

Shadow1000 · Thu 17/12/2020 15:28:22

Is this release very different than the one from a year ago?

No, it's mostly bug fixes and some puzzles make a tiny bit more sense.
It has value only if :
- you were infuriated by the bugged "steam pipes" puzzle
- you absolutely wanted to see Indy use his whip (now, he does)
- you speak French, Italian or Spanish

DarÃo · Fri 18/12/2020 15:57:00

I do speak Spanish, but unfortunately that is not one of the new languages ;-)

Anyway, it looks fantastic, but I'm stuck in the first puzzle... I will ask for help in the game forums

I've answered your post

Alternatively you can use the "Hints and tips" subforum of this very forum, there's always someone who's played the games.

Monsieur OUXX · Mon 21/12/2020 08:56:19

Users of AGS forums, care to leave a review for #RelicOfTheViking?

https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/2500-indiana-jones-and-the-relic-of-the-viking

PS : If you've only played version 1.0 last year and experienced some frustrations because of some bugs, then consider playing version 1.1 pleeze.

heltenjon · Fri 12/02/2021 18:55:47

Ok, so this one is eligible for best demo in 2020? Strong contender! This game feels like a real Indy adventure from Lucasarts.

I finished it in about two hours. The puzzles were quite hard, but fair. What got me stuck for a while, was that I missed a hotspot.

The pipe puzzle was very good!
