Bring it out --- !!!

Release date ?
Prize?

We are currentally in the final phase before release. Expect a contest in the near future aswell.

Wow

That demo is intense.

Its too hard for me.

I was never that good at FPS games.

I love the AI and can't wait for you to release it.

Will there be a package deal for the AI and Dialogues?

Larry, once again my attempt failed, so i'll leave it alone

Hi all,

Thanks for your bug reports. I've narrowed it down that the engine's save/load system is messing up somewhere. I'm now tempted to write my own save/load system, which should be faster, bug free and distributable. If nothing else, at least it will make Mother's Den playable again.

I just have one more question for anyone who have encountered the bug. Do you always get a crash on lab a and get stuck there, or have you sometimes managed to go through it, and actually finished the game? Has this bug stopped anyone from making it to the end of the demo, at least once? (it's easy, on Easy dfficulty:P). And secondly, does removing the save files helps any?


I'm in the middle of splitting up the versions now. There's going to be four versions, easily upgradable and easy to install. I'm discontinuing intense dialogues.. All products i have made will be now merged under IntenseX, which will make for a completely programming-free package, that will let you make games. So we like to think, it's sorta like DirectX, which is actually powered by DirectPlay, DirectDraw, Direct3d etc.. It would be rather of an annoyance for Microsoft to have you download each one of this independantly, and have you do all the 'linking to each other' work, wouldn't be?

Btw, for people who have bought Intense Dialogues, you will be getting a 15-20 euro voucher, towards any IntenseX purchase...

@PHeMoX, i couldn't reproduce the bug, and neither could Rafu.. When i get more free time, i'll try to look more into this. Bugs that don't happen in your pc, are so hard to debug though. I don't know where to start looking, and even if i've fixed it, i wouldn't know until the next patch... very hard

@Atsu, this one, i can reproduce:) it only happens rarely on a staircase. I'll fix it.

@Marcus729, I guess i accidently answered all your questions above:) Btw, my 10 year old cousin managed to finish this game at Easy difficulty. You can't be possibly any worse than her

@Manslayer101, what does it say now? That you don't have more than 256mb of ram??


Cheers,
Aris

I could play it most of the time until the end. But sometimes after reloading or re-starting from the beginning it crashed and it happened always when the first monster pops up.

Hey Aris,

Yeah I am that bad. Some people can't walk and breath at the same time 'cause they're mentally challenged. I am just totally uncordinated. By the way don't take my statement that it is too hard as a criticism. I am just not good at some of the more difficult FPS games. My children constantly show me how bad I am by getting way ahead of me unless they come across some mental challenge that I can usually figure out before they do.

And just to update the record I did complete the demo after many attempts.

Now to the important stuff. I am ashamed to say I was not terribly methodical in my approach to checking this out. I found the error usually occured in lab a for me and usually only when I selected option 3 to have the russian scientist lead me to the holding cells.

I almost always (sorry didn't take good notes here) was able to get past lab a by selecting statement 4, telling the russian scientist to follow me and behave. Then I go out into the hallway and wait for the first monster dude.

Then once I clear out the next area of monsters and black suits and recruit the helpful scientist from lab b, I tell the Russian scientist to lead me to the holding cells.

I have done this usually after clearing the save files. Once again I am guilty of poor methodology and did not take good notes.

Do you need more info and if so what would you want me to try?

Marcus

Hello,

Looked at this post and tried to run your game, but it said I need 1280 x 1024 resolution. Why can't I play with 800x600 or 1024x768?
