I got it to work.
The graphics seem nice, but it's all very dark. You can't really see where you're going. This becomes a problem because you you don't have a fixed number for the number of slides in a 360° view. Sometimes it's two, sometimes three, and sometimes four. Add this to the fact that you can't see where you're going and navigating becomes a pain. Spoiler: |

It is more of a techdemo and that this is the first area of the game, indeed. In order to avoid clashing with Cyan's work, we kept the D'ni part as short as possible.
And yes, this area is dark, as the quake severed the power there. |

I understand your reasons for making that area darker and understood it to be the destroyed D'ni, but I think navigation would be easier and more straigthforward if all locations had 4 images, each using 90° of the view. It would not only improve navigation, but it would also make the scrolling motion when you turn prettier. I think the increased filesize of all those images is justified in this age of broadband.
I would also like to appologize if I come over as rude or ungratefull in this or the previous post. I only want to make some helpfull suggestions. I really love the mystgames and -universium, and I think it's wonderfull someone is making another fangame for it! (btw: check out http://www.dnilegacy.com, another myst fangame. I've done the (awfull) programming on that. Ah, those were the days! ) |

I've downloaded demo including all those extra files.

Copy/paste from another forum :
1) download the above 4 things(the 3 files from the above post, and the game from the website.) 2) install the python 2.3 file.(don't worry if you have other python's installed; if you already have 2.3, you can skip this step.) 3) install the SLD codec pack. 4) install the pygame 1.6 file. 5) "unrar" the game to any folder.(if you don't have winrar, here it is: http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar351.exe) 6) double-click "Ilathid.pyc" in that folder |

Some news, at last...
Our boards have been hacked last March, and this has dramatically disturbed our activity, but we didn't stop working. The second PC demo is on the work table, we heard critics and comments. It will include sound and brand new graphics. It's not yet a "all in one" app, but we're confident, it will be. That's all for now, thnks for reading. |

Sorry for the late reply...
Yes, this project is still alive, but we're actually moving all of our assets to a new server, so our activity is temporary stopped down. |

Super, vous avez l'air de faire du tres bon boulot. Je n'ai pas pu essayer la premiere demo du jeux, car ca a l'air tres compliquer a installer ect... J'espere que la seconde demo sera plus facile a installer.
Bonne continuation a tous. |

Hi peoples, so long time with no news...
Some of you may know we encountered many issues during the last months (boards hacks, server changes, lack of communication, real life for some of us...). But the project is still moving forward, really. So, what happend during this time ? The Ilathid Team kept on working at a slower path that we'd like, but still working. A bundled version of the demo is available at our website (no more need to install crytic apps, everything neede is included) We're working on a total boards/website revamp, stay tuned... And we're also glad to let you know that everybody who wants to help us is welcome : Quote:
