I recently purchased this game and I must say that apart from everything which look and sound so beautiful it has the graphics and animations which are really mind blowing. I am really enjoying playing this game and I strongly raccomand it!

Spoiler

Today while I was playing I have got this message and I actually dont know what I have done or if this has been reported before:

Great I'm glad to hear that you managed to solve it in the end. 

Yesterday I also had some really hard times on loading the website. 

EDIT: Today I have got this error message from the website, I've never got anything like this before and I am also having hard times today on loading the website as well too:

Words cannot express what I'm feeling right now, the body is but an outer covering for the soul.
The reality is the soul which never dies, but just changes form. So, we know that in some way, you will always be here around us.
I am reading all your messages that we have written to each other back in 2014, you have taught me a lot of things about Ags that I am still treasuring all your words.
All of this it cuts to my heart, words cannot express my condolences to the entire household. Rest in peace my friend.

Yes you can do that with the ShellExecute plugin, this is what you should do:

1. Save and close your game
2. Copy the plugin dll into the main AGS folder
3. Open the editor and open your game
4. Activate the plugin in the project tree

You can now use this command:

int ShellExecute(const string operation, const string file, const string parameters, ShowCommand showCommand = SW_SHOW);

To open a website, use

Code: ags

// inside button interact 
ShellExecute("", "http://website.com", "");

I just purchased this game right now because it look amazing and furthermore because it's inspired on David Lynch! I really look forward to play it today, I'm just missing two titles from Cloak and Dagger Games but little by little I will try to purchase them all! Thanks for your fantastic games, I wish one day there would be a chance on adding Mudlarks on Steam too!


:EDIT: I have just finished and absolutely love this game as I imagined. I like the plot because it's not linear at all and the end of the game left me with a feeling of sadness, amazing work once again!

Vincent: I know, the game is quite on the short side... I didn't want to make something too ambitious, fearing I might not finish it. But I'm happy it provided at least some enjoyment.

This is understandable. As far as I'm concerned, I had a lot of fun playing this game. I hope there will be a sequel, even as short as this one, but be sure to do many chapters! 


Regarding the last puzzle a minor detail:

Spoiler

It happened that I digit only one color at the beginning (which was wrong) I came out and returned from the puzzle and the color was still into the code, I had to put the remaining colors in order to reset the puzzle. It would be nice if every time you get out from the puzzle it get automatically reset but this is not a big deal.

Ciao BarbWire

Thanks for your truly kind words. As you well said Tales of Jayvin is now available for MAC too thanks to Dennis help! I must say that it has been tested by very few people who said that the game is being played correctly on this platform. In case anybody would have any problem with this version please let us know here or into our GameJolt/itch pages. As about the 'AGS Panel Ratings' I think that it may could happen that we forget to return to the Ags page to leave a vote on the game although we have play it.

I just finish to play it and I had it a lot of fun! 
I really enjoyed everything from the plot to the graphics, animations, music and dialogues. Just when I was about to dive the word "The End" appeared... 

Help how do i get the medicine from the pharmacy

Hi bertolino, thanks for playing!

Spoiler

You need to talk to the pharmacist twice and after this you should be able to steal something that comes out of the pockets of the trousers of the man who works with the boxes.

I don't quite understand how I missed this game... Taking up what Mandle said, I'm also a huge fan of games that use photos in this way, it really look like an FMV game from the 90s! I must download this game as soon as I can and I also can't wait to play this game fully in Italian! 

Greetings and keep up with the great work!

Hi all good peeps of AGS!!!

Recently thanks to the huge work of Dennis Plöger we had a chance to play Tales of Jayvin also on MacOS. If you have not yet tried this game then you should do it as soon and we hope you'll have some fun with it. You can download both versions directly to Gamejolt or Itch.io.

Greetings from all the team at SPAMFASTIC STUDIOS.

Thanks, Vincent!

You are welcome, I am interested to know how "Game.PlayVoiceClip(Character*, int cue, bool as_speech)" work. Though I don't like to use the new versions of Ags but still interested.

Btw, how can I hide the text when there is a voice file available? I've seen this implemented for various games.

Maybe you are referring to VoiceMode. Valid values for VoiceMode are:

eSpeechTextOnly      no voice, text only
eSpeechVoiceAndText  both voice and text
eSpeechVoiceOnly     voice only, no text

Code: ags

if (SubtitleEnabled) {Speech.VoiceMode = eSpeechVoiceAndText;}
else
{
   if (IsSpeechVoxAvailable() == 1) Speech.VoiceMode = eSpeechVoiceOnly;
}

I am glad to hear that you got it worked!

Hey!

Already told you, that you've done some incredible work with this. 

I'm stuck now, too:

Spoiler

What should I do once I'm finished at the University. I got Blake's diary, the translated page and the blood and skin samples. Also showed everything to Judy but I can't go to Iran or do something else. What am I missing here?

[close]

Thanks.

Kind regards

Dennis

Hey Dennis, thank you very much for your kind words and thanks a lot that you have spent some time on converting the game for mac, we deeply appreciate it.

Spoiler

Now that you have the blood and skin samples you have to find a way to examine them. Have you tried to look at the bulletin board that is in the university?

Ahaha ciao BarbWire. (I must say that I knew that you can speaka da Italiano too, molto brava) 
I have done some research on the Internet and they said that no matter which browser you are using or how up to date the browser is, inevitably, you will find a website that doesn't seem to be working correctly. Many of the issues you are seeing can cause issues with printing, interactivity, or animations. Webpages are programmed using a few different languages. These languages have standards that manufacturers and developers must follow in order for their products to be compatible with the browser. Most of these standards are introduced after innovations, and they can change the way a browser needs to function. These standards are different for each language, and this affects browsers differently, whether that be Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Chrome. Each browsers has different engines. These engines process the code written for different websites you may visit. Each browsers engine will interpret and render a webpage in a distinctive way. That means the exact same website can look and function differently across browsers. This leaves developers balancing on a tight rope. They try to reach a compromise when coding based on the relative popularity of the browser that most of their customers use. Because of this, many small issues will arise across different browsers. To make matters worse, there can be issues with a website in different versions of the same browsers. For example, if Chrome adds a new standard to their engine it may break a website that was once working in Chrome. Developers have to try and catch these changes and update their websites before the customer notices the problems. 

I can say a similar thing that once there was an online game and every time I used the Firefox browser the page could not load instead using Google Chrome or Opera loaded well. It seems like certain type of sites doesn't get loaded properly fine from certain type of browsers and as you said this seems strange. From what I know the best sites for upload free games are the one you mentioned and Steam or GOG for pay games.

I am really so much happy to see that two of the projects which I worked on has been chosen for the "Pick of the Month"! 
Thank you very much KyriakosCH and lorenzo for your support and your kind words, I deeply appreciate it.

Stuck again:

Spoiler

I have the items found in the hut but cannot see anything in the cellar. It looks like I need to make a candle, but how do I soften/melt the wax? I don't see anything hot in the game that I could use - there was a radiator in the the reception, but that location is no longer accessible. The game won't let me use the obvious solution of the stove in the kitchen, and Judy and Patricia are no help either.

Spoiler

You can make fire in two ways. First of all you should take the wooden and the stick which are located to the shelf at the hut.

1) Combine wooden with the stick while you are inside the hut to make fire

2) First use the wooden at the basket which is located just above the trap door and then use the wooden stick on it to make fire
