And it is great!

No HD install option, I'm a little sad. Hopefully they'll have it for the full game when that's released.

Awesome, gotta try this!

Thanks!

Didn't mention the demo on the forums as I thought you guys saw it on IRN or posted before

[dreadnought]

Decided to try it, for the old time's sake (EotB addict). Not bad at all, at least fx/gfx and general polish. There's not much action on this level though...or maybe there is later? Embarassingly I got stuck on the 1st puzzle - how do you get past the hole?

[Predseda]

The same with me. Obviously I must throw something to that switch. How do I use spells? I have a spellbook and a magic arrow spell, but "B" (or "S") key doesn't seem to have an effect. I understand some items can be used if I drop them to my body figure (especially food), but not spells.



EDIT: I found it. To cast a magic arrow I have to have a spellbook in my LEFT hand and then I can choose the spell (key "B" in "Modern" control).

I have completed the demo.

Very easy install. Copy all the files into one drawer and make assigns.

BTW it is great the game runs in multi-tasking. I mounted a virtual save disk during playing

[coldacid]

Which assigns?

[Predseda]

Assign floppies to your hdd drawer of course. You are not familiar how Amiga Assigns work?

You need to create script like this:

Assign SoS1: ""
Assign SoS2: ""
Assign SoS3: ""
Assign SoS_Save: ""
Assign T: Ram: ;this comes from the SoS startup-sequence
CD ""
SoS

Then create a Project type icon for this script and put IconX as a default tool into that icon.

I found only two small problems in the demo, if there is any of the authors reading here:

1 - the scrolltext in the intro story is too fast, it is not easy to follow (especially for non-native speakers)

2 - messages in the text bar: some are too long and do not fit in the window

One remark: A1200 + Blizzard 1230/50 is not fast enough for movement anims, so I recommend anyone with this or weaker config to turn this (although cool) feature off.

Any chance you could share a HDF of this demo?

[Predseda]

No, I have it in my real machine.

Yes, th whole game can be controlled via keyboard, including inventory, spells etc.

540 downloads so far. I hope this game will be succesfull in sales, it deserves so.

A small update: Pre-orders should be open in November, so I asked Jeremie today. Here is the answer:

Hi,

It will be very soon, before mid-december, the adaptation / relocation of the company to France was more complex than expected.

I wanted to make sure everything was right before lauching a pre-order campaign.

Thanks for your patience and support !
