ThirtyMinutes

So here's a demo level of a, let's say, psychological game The story: the player, a psychoanalytic, is persecuted by somebody who seems to be one of his patients. The pervert thing about it is the fact that this BIG BAD UNWNOWN is detemined to kill you in thirty minutes, as if life was a game.)

I don't know if this demo is super-impressive, just, that the basic thing is hidden and not visible. Behind the scene there is a very complex AI engine working which emerged from SmartTalking nodes. So we cared about the visual, but in this stage this was not the core thing.

In spite of an extensive jpg and ogg compression, the demo is quite huge (38 MB), so be aware of that.

One of the reasons to publish in such a premature state was that I am loking for some really gifted modellers and animation specialists.

I have dealt with biovison and have seen that this would be absolutely great in conjunction with the node architecture of the SmartTalkingNodes engine. If you feel capable of doing some really stunning thing, don't be shy to contact me.

Hmm well I think the demo doesn't work as it should on my pc. The structure of the ZIP is very confusing, maybe you've packed something you didn't want? If I remember correctly, you own the pro version so I shouldn't have access to all of the files, should I?
When I start the .exe, I get an error that the _setup.dll is not a correct windows file or something similar to that. And ingame, I can walk arround but nothing happens except some bubbles moving upwards.
Could be my PC, because I have a Radeon 7000 atm...

strange, maybe you missed the setup file, it does everything automatically.
You don't habve to worry about anything, setting up files or directories.

1) Unzip the file,
2) run Setup.exe

that's it.


I have to admit, zhe sheer number of files (520 or so) is abhorring - one reason to buy the pro.

Somewhat too fast I had the idea that I could have placed a wrong zip version on the server, but it was fine and working as described above. Nervtheless I have deleted this file (just in vain - but it's gone), and it will take an hour or so to transmit it anew.

Does this work for anyone else? I'm not sure what your supposed to do. I clicked on the "screen" at the end of the first level, and was taken to some room with a couch and a window, and it locks up. Can't move the cursor or nothing. Task Manager shows that the memory for it keep creeping up, like its allocating something over and over again in a loop.


Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience

yes, you did what you were supposed to to. But the room should open, instead of blocking you.
it's an extremely huge level, so it may take a minute or so to load all the extures. t's tested on GForce 4, ATI Radeon. The graphic card should have 128 MB. GeFoce 2 would load the level - and when everything is read in, it would even run. But it's no fun with a frame rate of 5 fps.

A GeForce 4 and a RAM of 512 is fine, it should run without any problems.

On thing to mention is: I have added the ogg DirectShow Graph of Tobias Waldvogel (having used intensively ogg files to diminuish space), so you should run this first. - But t shoudl even run when the DirectShow graph is not isntalled (in a mute state).

ok, it's back on the server again (and I hope I will get some positiv installation feedback). The first two posts seem to have overlooked that there is a setup file, so that's a minor problem, I think. And the last two ones? Frankly: I don't know. Maybe yozu can give me some feeback. - I won't have too much time to follow this topic since I am leaving for a trip tomorrow, so tonight's the night...

Well if the level is really that huge memory consuming, I'm not surprised that I cannot move and the engine freezes because, remember, I have a Radeon 7000 installed currently Executing the setup file was in fact my missing point with the first problem, after the installation the game started normal.
Sorry that I cannot help you any further, but I guess my hardware is too limited for this task.
