Im developing a NEW adventure - Last Half of Darkness
Hello adventurer's
I am an adventure game developer and I am updating an older game I made back in 1989 (then updated in 2000 - but not to the standards I wanted) The Last Half of Darkness - now im updating it again. I need to make sure the game (using a new game engine) works on ALL systems. If interested, you may take a look a few screenshots and demo here: http://www.lasthalfofdarkness.com/newlasthalf.htm I appreciate any feedback or comments regarding my new adventure. (but most importantly I need to make sure the full-screen animation sequences work ok on ALL systems - example: you should move smoothly up the stairs) Thanks Bill |

Ooo, those screenshots look great! Reminds me of the 7th Guest! (I don't have time to play the demo right now, but I will soon)

The animations work perfectly, and look very good - well done. However, upon exiting the game, my PC crashed. I use a Windows XP computer.
Oh, and I was pleasantly surprised that the game actually managed to scare me! That hasn't happened in a long time.

Thanks
Cellardoor: Thanks for taking a look and the comments. Although, Im somewhat concerned why it crashed in the end. ??? Do you know if it does it everytime? Do you have to re-boot to get out of it?
Nomad: Thanks for the comments. |

Very nice looking game so far. I also run XP but didn't experience the crash after quitting so it looks like it may not be a pure XP issue ?

I'm looking forward to seeing puzzles in this game!
The only annoying thing is that little music loop, not sure if this will be changed? I used XP and had no problems with the game. |

OK - I figured out why the game crashed. My harddrive suffered from over-heating and instantly rebooted.
Switch - there is a puzzle in the game, actually. Try puzzling around with the pieces of paper. Cool puzzle by the way.

I just played it and i like what i saw, atho there was no real interaction with anything, the paper puzzle was quite fun
might i suggest that the tex not appear at the top of the screen, but perhaps in a spoken workd like a thought (with subtitle s on bottom above inventory bar ) I know it's alot to even suggest but i will say that you have done a great job so far and i look forward to the full version as i was scared also and that is no easy task. One question did anyone else get a weird like trippy transition screen? Or is that a demo thing cause it happend to me in Syberia's demo.

TMOA: Yes - a few others have mentioned the strange colors too - Im not sure why that is happening - do you know what Video Card you are using? Are you using your latest video drivers for that card. What version of DirectX?
Toefur: Yes - it is the same game - glad you enjoyed it. Thanks Bill |
