Can we *please* have a working port for 2.72? I would be SO grateful. I haven't announced the game I've been working on the past year because I hate when people get others' hopes up for no reason, but it's almost done, and I'm unwilling to release it until I can do it for both platforms. Unfortunately, I've already upgraded all the code to work in 2.72...Anway, please. Please. PLEASE 2.72.

That is all.

This should probably go in a different thread, eh?

However, I just played this game again, and had no trouble casting all the spells. Unless you accidentally got some alpha version, you have to be missing an ingredient for the spell-making to kill off your character. Look at the spell that's killing you in the spell book to see what ingredients it requires, and make sure you have all of them/didn't leave them under your bed (including the wand).

At the risk of veering off-topic, I think esper's comment needs an amendment. I wouldn't aim for formula for the sake, because Hollywood  can also recognize a movie they've already made that's being rehashed in a more generic form. MarVelo, do work on your dialogue, but keep this in mind primarily: if you don't care about and understand your characters, no one else will. I don't mean that to sound overly critical, just as a simple foundation that works - people care about real people more than symbols.

Also, esper, I don't think you've been to the movies lately. Pan's Labyrinth, Children of Men, The Fountain, Thank You For Smoking, June Bug and Prairie Home Companion are just the movies I can think of off the top of my head that came out of major Hollywood studios only in the past year and were all completely original, creative, poignant and brilliant films.
