I also got this error while trying to save.

Nice game, I enjoyed it, good work.
#62
You're very welcome, glad you found it helpful :) Sounds like you have a good plan to make this game really fun.
#63
I like this a lot, I look forward to playing the completed game :) On the whole it is very good, and I can see a lot of effort has gone into it.

I have some comments and suggestions, contains mild spoilers for those who haven't played the demo yet. The first three are things I think that are important to change, the others are minor nitpicky things that you may want to look at. These are all meant as constructive criticism so I mean no offense by any of them :) Just want to help.

Spoiler
1 ) Maybe the walk speed could be a little faster?

2 ) Although the translation is pretty good, I would suggest getting someone to go through the dialogue again and make it more readable in English, as the subtle differences kind of detract from the atmosphere. Also the title screen hasn't been translated, and when I found the book on the floor in the library, the page that came out wasn't translated so I had no idea how to proceed from there.

3 ) It would be useful to be able to press the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard to cycle the inventory up and down, especially as you only see three of the items at a time. I think manually cycling them by clicking could get tiresome.

4 ) While you are looking at the 'loose page', if you then right click on the recipe book the game crashes with an error code (Error: DisplayMessage: Invalid message number to display).

5 ) If you take the recipe book down to the room with the broken bike and then examine the book, it says the book is a saddle of a bike.

6 ) When you move the cursor over the blank piece of paper in your inventory, it doesn't say anything in the bottom left of the screen as it does with the other objects.

7 ) Engel says "here I go" when going up the stairs, this makes sense the first time, but if you go back down and then up again, I don't think he should say it again.

8 ) Once you've already looked under the carpet and got the key, when you look again I think he should say "there's nothing else under there" rather than saying he's found the key again.

9 ) Once you've used the key to unlock the upstairs door, or used the wedge to open the other one, I think the doors should stay open so you shouldn't have to use the items again each time you go through them.

Good luck with the rest of the project.

Wendy:

Hint
Spoiler
Ben says only a complete idiot would touch the light switch, so maybe he's not the man for the job? Maybe there's another action you haven't tried yet? (Cycling with right mouse button)
[close]

Solution
Spoiler
You need to cycle through the actions until you get Dan's head. Use that to click on the light switch. Apparently he loves doing that! Now you can safely touch the wire.

You're welcome :) I'll keep a look out in this thread if you need any more hints.

This is looking really good! I look forward to playing it :)

Nonax:

I'm assuming you are

in the lift?

If you're past that bit then you're in

the dino room

Hints for that have been posted above so I won't repeat them :)

Hint 1
Spoiler
Examine the panel, this should give you a clue as to what to do next.
[close]

Solution
Spoiler
Use the rock on the panel.

Hint 2
Spoiler
Looks like the wire needs fixing?

Solution

Use the wire.

Haydn, here's some hints for you to help you without giving it away, in decreasing order of subtelty:

Hint 1

Spoiler

Have a look at what other objects you need to open the doors to the other dimensions. See if something looks familiar.
[close]

Hint 2

Spoiler

Check out the pub again, you need to get something from here. You should have the items you need.
[close]

Hint 3

Spoiler

You need to get the top hat from the barman, so you'll have to get him to leave. He says he's tired of dealing with drunkards collapsing... Have you been to all the rooms in the pub?
[close]

Solution if the hints don't help

Spoiler

Go through the back door in the pub, and then use the key to unlock the far left door to the cellar. Go into it and use the tubes which go into the beer kegs to switch them round. Go back up to the main pub room and talk to the lager louts. Ask them about their drinking game, keep talking to them until they drink up after saying 'come on England'. They should collapse which is the last straw for the poor barman.

How did you make the green pearl please? That's the one thing I can't figure out!

Blue Pearl: Yes you need to look for an alcove in the screen with the tree with purple flowers. Once the rock has fallen out there, it leaves a section open sort of in the middle of the tree, I had to click around a bit there to find it.

Red Pearl: Have a look at the tablet near where you start and compare it to the piece of paper and the descriptions on it, it might help you figure out which demon is the one you need.

Edit: OK I found out what to do to now, I swear I already tried that a million times :O
#72
Thanks for the hint, I tried doing what you suggested but am still getting nowhere.

Spoiler

I found the glowing yellow things on the tree root, and the window near the diary, but can't seem to do anything with either. Can't find anything else of interest, the torches don't seem to do anything.
[close]

Any other help would be appreciated! I think I must be overlooking something completey.
#73
I like this game, nice work. Good atmosphere and scenery.

Totally stuck just short of finishing it I think! Asked for some help in the hints thread. Must be missing something.

Edit: I figured it out finally! Cool game.
#74
I'm stuck, can anyone give me a hint please?

Spoiler

So far I've got the blue pearl, the red pearl and put them into place, I have the broken blue pearl, the crowbar, the rock and the piece of paper. Just need the green pearl I think so I guess it's something to do with it turning green as some people have mentioned, but I've run out of ideas and I can't turn it green.
[close]

Thanks.

If you're still trying to get the blue pearl

Spoiler

Have a look at the gap where the rock fell out, there's a little alcove in the wall amongst the tree roots

Really liked this game, thanks! One of the funniest games I've played, and with the most varied dialogue, especially for random interactions between inventory and objects! I liked almost all the puzzles.
#76
Nice game, I enjoyed it. Very funny!

Awesome game, this my favourite game so far.

I loved the characters and the interaction, I felt sad to leave them when the game was finished!
#78
