Here they are: There you see his head going through the pillow. Nothing big but should be fixed... Ok heres a few. The textures on top and on the palm need to be better. Also, I ghot onto that walkway another way, but had troubles "falling" into it- I kept jumping from one rail to another. Oh, and I'd get a new currency symbol- You dont want to get sued for stealign the rupee now do you? Basic thing is the texture of the road doesnt align. Aslo, <GASP> are those standard textures I see? Lol not a problem since they are free to use but it is a wee bit silly for those who also use 3dgs Only thign there is the tree roots arent that good, I'd fix it. Also, I've found two glitches: One, if you jump next to a wall then you slowly fall down. The other one was slightly more complicated- In the Right wing of the temple I did the hanging part where you dodge the blocks tryign to push you off. Well, I got to the last part and went all the way to the wall to be safe, then the block pushed me off and I jumped and somehow managed to go through the wall. Last suggestion is dont make an invert mouse look, or have an option. most games like this shouldnt have inverted mouse look... Great game though Jimmy died, today, he blew his brains out into the bay, in the state of mind, its my own private suicide. A stitch in time saves nine... what the hell does that mean?!?

India maybe? AccessPhenomenon, do you plan to go through and make this into a full scale game? Just out of curiousity... reminds me of Adventures in Pocia. Really great demo, unfortunately it never got finished. --Eric

Thanks Towelie for the work you put into your post, the screenshots are very helpful. Thanks utz for your suggestions, they are very helpful.

I would add one thing, when you enter a house and get outside again, all those evil weeds are back. Oh, is there a way to reduce load times, cause they will get a bit irritating after a while. It is okay to have a load time when you enter a different part of the level (like when you go to the beach), but it is annoying when you get a loadingscreen when you enter a house.

Thanks for your comments. The problem with stopping the weeds respawn when you reenter a level, is that I'd have to go through and assign each weed a separate ID number in a skill value, then I'd compare the value to an array and see whether or not to remove the weed. That means I'd have to go through WED and select every weed, and assign an individual number to their skill, such as numbers 1 - 3000 so each weed has a unique ID. There is 1000s of weeds and unfortunatley the task would be quite time consuming. I agree with the loading issue, I'll try to figure out a way to reduce the load times. With more loading it means a better frame rate in regards to the house interiors, if you couldn't go into the interior of houses seaparatly, but that all the interiors would be in the one level, that would really slow the game down with all the crazy WED gemoetry. Lighting is a bit of another issue, with the interior separate I can place WED lights outside the windows to create a nice effect. If you look on the outside of the window, the wall is very bright from the WED light, this looks odd, and I'd have to remove this effect if it was all in one level.
