Thanks a lot and you are welcome!

@BarbWire:
Thanks a lot and I totally agree with you, the video doesn't do the game justice for the reasons you just explained. The author of the video let me know that he is working on a new one and that momentarily the previous video it is no longer aviable on YouTube. Let's hope he will do so as soon as possible.


@lorenzo:
I deeply appreciate your kind words, thank you very much. I'm really pleased to hear that the game eats your free time and that you find it fantastic!
Thanks again for all your feedback and for the recommendation.

Spoiler

You were good at exploring the cave well because it's a difficult part of the game, congratulations.

@Mandle:
Thanks a lot because you find the game incredibly fun to play and this is meaning a lot to me.

This is certainly the most useful module ever created for this engine. Congratulations and happy anniversary, thank you so much for this new release! 

It seems to me that if (video.ended == true) has to be the repeatedly_execute(), but how do I specify which video is playing there?

I showed you how to do that before.

I am stuck at the alien puzzle. I've tried every combination. Please help.

Have you tried to push the buttons let's say more than 20 or 30 times? After this it will pop up an hint button which may it could help you!

[close]

Got it by myself, nevermind :-)

The power of posting, eh, I am a loser? 

I am stuck in the same place. What did you do to get unstuck?

Ehy paolo, I'm glad to hear that you're playing the game at the moment! 

Spoiler

Have you ever tried to combine the scissors with the brush?

[close]

Great game, one of the rare games I was able to finish without help, though I did get stuck for a while on a few things, before I just started trying random things and finally found the solution. : )

Question -- are there multiple endings?

Spoiler

I got the ending where I end up becoming a reptilian and serving them ...

[close]

Is there any other possible ending that might depend on what I do?

Thank you, and thank you for the game. : )

Hi dubaaron, thanks a lot for your feedback and for your time spent playing the game, we deeply appreciate your truly kind words!

Spoiler

Regarding your question this game contains only an ending!

[close]

Yes to set a pointer to null you can do it in that way. Anyway I can't help but notice that you're using a boolean to keep track of which video you're running?

Code: ags

if(video.ended == 1)

The author of the plugin shared the details of the features he used in it:

Code: ags

readonly bool ended;    // end of video was hit, no more new frames will appear unless looped

This will not going to work the way you mean I suppose. If you want to keep track of when a specific video ends you have to do it another way.
For example like this:

Code: ags

int VideoID;
Theora* video;


enum Videoclip
{
  Intro = 0, 
  FirstScene = 1, 
  SecondScene = 2
};


function room_Load()
{
  VideoID = Intro;
}


function check_videoID_running()
{
  if (video.ended)
  {
    if (VideoID == Intro)
    {
      video = Theora.Open("Video/FirstScene.ogg");
      VideoID = FirstScene;
    }
  
  
    else if (VideoID == FirstScene)
    {
      video = Theora.Open("Video/SecondScene.ogg");
      VideoID = SecondScene;
    }
  }
}


function repeatedly_execute() 
{
  check_videoID_running();
}

Hi Vincent, great, you made it to the end! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you very much. Please consider giving your votes on the game page.

Regarding the Easter eggs, the Info button will tell you how many you have found so far, so you can keep track during the game and find out which actions increase the total.

And as for alternative endings,

Spoiler

you can find these by deliberately doing something wrong at points in the game where the screen flashes red.

[close]

Thanks paolo for the suggestion about the alternative endings, I have submitted my vote into the game page.

You can put GUI elements above the video by using this plugin:

I'm really enjoying my time with this gem of an adventure! However I do need some help:

Spoiler

I'm at the University and want to get the grumpy geezer to leave his lab. I already opened the electricity box and took the piece of cable but I have absolutely no clue what to do now.

[close]

Thanks!

Thanks for your truly kind words, we deeply appreciate it!

Spoiler

Try to inspect the bulletin board, you must find a way to get him out of his office!

[close]

I just finished playing through the game and it really has an intriguing story that I really liked very much, I hope there will be some sort of sequel one day!

Spoiler

I was just expected at least an hot scene between Stevens and Tracey after the final interview! 

[close]

The graphics and animations are very well done and accurate as well as the plot story. All of this motivate me to move forward in the game and go on countless well designed riddles. Congratulations on the amazing work!


ALERT SPOILER:

Spoiler

At the first attempt I was able to destroy the computer and to stop the virus properly. So I assume I managed to see the good ending by now but I missed 3 Easter egg somewhere. It's a good reason to play it again and find them all! 

[close]

The way out is

Spoiler

through the door. Inspect it closely. There is something you have probably missed.

[close]

Thank you very much for the suggestion!

You have everything you need. Try using these items on things in the room.

Spoiler

That's what I've been trying to do for over an hour by now, it seems like I have been missed something obvious. 

[close]

Thanks, Vincent. You have found several bugs that neither I nor my beta-testers did! I hope they haven't spoiled your enjoyment. Good job you had saved the game.

I will add these to the list of things to fix for the next version.

You are welcome, I'm having a great time playing this game. I got stuck in a locked room:

Spoiler

In the inventory I have scissors, a candlestick and a ruler. I assume I have to do something with the bed and the spring but I don't know what.

[close]

I am playing this right now and I deeply like the atmosphere of the game! I am still at the beginning by now, I inspected the computer and was able to enter the right password, I got all the information in time fortunately. Then something happened to me:

Spoiler

As soon as I learned all the informations a few seconds before the man entered I opened the inventory. I heard the sound of the door opening but the game got stuck on the open inventory and didn't allow me to close it or to do anything. Fortunately I made a save before interacting on the computer!

[close]

Now let's get back to playing this game is really intriguing! 


EDIT:

Spoiler

I have reached the first puzzle about the statue of Mary at the church. I was able to put the word "Deus Bonus Est" but nothing happened. I think I should investigate more here.
However when I was inside the puzzle I had the inventory opened:



When I clicked on the exit button with the inventory open, the character returned to the previous room but I couldn't do anything because the cursor had disappeared.

[close]

EDIT2:

Spoiler

I can take a tile from the puzzle now:



But if I click to the exit hotspot while I still have the tile selected when I enter the puzzle again the tile is disappear forever.

[close]

I have no idea what to do next.

Spoiler

I've been to the hut in the woods and found the two pieces of paper. There are no new locations and I can't seem to do anything at the locations it allows me to go to, which are home, library, father's office, and the ex-gf's place (Judy?).

[close]

Nevermind. Managed to figure that part out. Now I'm stuck trying to figure out how to get into Blake's office

Thank you, I am glad to hear that you managed to figure it out!

Spoiler

You should take the photograph which is on the desk and inspect it.

[close]

I love the game so far.

Spoiler

I'm stuck in the university lab. I have Dr Blake's journal but I can't leave the lab. I get told that "I should look around before I leave".
What am I missing ?
Thanks

[close]

Thank you very much!

Spoiler

You should take the blood and skin sample which is on the right side of the machineries and the piece of paper which is on the desk.

[close]

I must be experiencing a glitch, durq pm'd me about it.

Spoiler

I have already given the old man a phonebook but now I can't talk to him.

[close]

I restarted my game and it worked...

Spoiler

The first time I played through I gave the man the phone book before talking to the librarian, and it wouldn't let me talk to him anymore. This time I talked to the librarian first and then gave the man the phonebook and then it worked.

[close]

Can you experience something different from this video:

Spoiler

[close]

Also would you be able to replicate the problem and say what you have done step by step?

Thanks, finished it. 

I am happy to hear that you finished the game by now!  Thank you very much for playing it means a lot to me!
