Just new here, did a search but i didn't find what i was looking for!!

But after 3 seconds i get: Main.exe doesn't work, windows is trying to find a solution.

I'm currently working on a freeware indie adventure title, thought this looked like a good place for a shameless attempt to drum up some publicity:) Well, onto the spiel then.

Heartland of Darkness: The Homunculi

In short, Heartland of Darkness is a psychedelic horror adventure.
The story revolves around a young man who finds himself within the bowels of a hellish nighmare.
Not sure who to trust and dogged by horrific apparitions at every step, he must escape at all costs.
It's going to be a medium length game of around the 40-60 screens mark. Full soundtrack.

I don't want to give away much of the plot yet, as I want to get my box art done and nut out a few more details first. I should have a trailer finished by the new year.










"The curtain has been lifted. Time now to play your part in this tragedy! Smear the greasepaint over your face and whimper.
The Chamber of Horrors is simply a wooden box my friend. It's all just a mirror, not a miracle. Just think of this as therapy...
'The words rang inside my skull and then subsided. I lifted my eyelids and saw nothing but faces swirling,
jutting forth from every surface, stabbing at me like needles thrust into a straw doll.'" ]]> AG Underground - Amateur Adventures Pinback http://www.adventuregamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25845 Has anyone successfully ran Myst on a virtual machine? http://www.adventuregamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25844&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:07:03 GMT There is advice all over the internet about how it "should" work. However, I have installed (on an XP Pro host) MS Virtual PC 2004 with my old copy of Win 95. The game loads, there's graphics and everything, but there's no sound in the movies.
This is the same for both Myst and Myst Masterpiece Edition. I've installed the versions of QT/DirectX that come bundled with them.
If it helps, it's probably a directsound issue - when running dxdiag, some of the sound tests play but some don't. This coincides with the fact that in the game, I can here some of the atmospheric noise but not others.

So, has anyone successfully done it? Has anyone encountered this particular problem? Will upgrading DX help, or is it more likely to screw the game up? ]]> Hint Requests and Technical Problems Antrax http://www.adventuregamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25844 Theseis (a game by Track7) -- Cancelled http://www.adventuregamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25843&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:47:49 GMT From what I heard by visiting the official website's forum, the company responsible for working on the product is more or less dead:

Too bad, the team was capable of finishing it (at least until the point i was there, before me and many others were let go). Too bad the funding was stopped and nothing else was found.

I think the company is not typically closed, but everyone who worked on the game isn't around any more. I was out with the last artist left from the company yesterday and he's working on some other project in a company some other members of the team made. And that is since last year or so.

dpapa, which is the previous PR guy of track7 sort of confirms that the game is dead.

http://www.bytheway.gr/portal2/forum...5309#post35309

Translation for non greek speaking guys:

He blames:
- the owner of track7 for having a low priority for Theseis and spending most of the company's money to other projects.
- the programmers and devs for having an attitude.

Other reasons:
- inexperience
- having set the goal to create the first big-budgeted 100% greek game and refusing to get help from more experiened foreign programmers
- not accepting European Union's money that they could have been offered to them for "the development of an innovative project".
- etc..

According to this post the devs need over 100,000 euros to finish the game, and thus they are forced to either cancel it or sell it to Sony that has expressed interest to publish it on PSP!!
This is unfortunate but it is show business. ]]> Adventure BlueSpawn http://www.adventuregamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25843 Site keeps freezing, I want to visit this forum more! http://www.adventuregamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25840&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:03:11 GMT Is there anything I can do that will stop adventuregamers.com continually freezing up?

Ok, there's a small memory in my head that is driving me mad. I remember about playing a Windows game (very cinematic and animated) Which was a fighting game. The thing is, all the characters were Adorable and cute pets. WHICH then transformed into mechanical animals. You fought a frog or some ugly creature as the main enemy, and used a sort of system to travel between stages. It was fairly comical, and animated in the zany way other games of the sort were (Say, toonstruck)

anybody have a clue on what the title of the game was? This is driving me mad!

Thanks in advance ]]> General heribertovalle http://www.adventuregamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25839 Lousy marketing or postponement? http://www.adventuregamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25836&goto=newpost Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:12:10 GMT Are there any recent news about the release date of City Interactive's two forthcoming games? I can't imagine that they are going to be released simultaneously in November. They are both third-person, 2.5D, point-and-click and investigative type. Who can afford to buy two games which are almost the same?

If the simultaneous release scenario still holds, City Interactive's marketing department is either non-existent or staffed with non-professionals. ]]> Adventure dekaneas297 http://www.adventuregamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25836 Fatman demo point missing http://www.adventuregamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25828&goto=newpost Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:46:15 GMT I can only get 11 out of 12 points.

Slightly Deranged is my new blog about cult movies and games. The plan is to review the lesser known stuff before it fades into oblivion. Of course, one of my primary focus is going to be adventure games! Also, I have lots of eccentric and bizarre movies to share, mostly of the horror genre. If that's also your thing, then you're in for a real treat.

In a devilishly clever scheme to gain traffic, I will be also posting exclusive inside scoop about the upcoming horror adventure I’m working on. It will be announced sometime next year and I promise it will make you all curl into fetal position and sob uncontrollably.

Anyway, here is the link:
