Hi,

I removed the links for now. Got a lot of work to do.

I'll be sure to post more later when it's more complete. Thanks for the feedback!

The screens look very impressive, looking forward for the gameplay experience

Haha, I read the description on the website as "general adventure" I was like what the heck does that mean?

This looks pretty cool, though. I mean, it's hard to tell the exact direction you are going with only 3 screenshots to go by, however if you're going where I think you're going it will be pretty cool.

My character died and left a wife and two children behind... It`s so sad... Life`s so short...

Nevermind. Looks like the hair position of the character is not updated properly. When I died and had children the screen just left blank, but my child`s vitality meter was going down. So I guess there`s no future...

How about having three age stages- a cild, a mature and an old man and the character will grow and become old and this can be seen. Just an idea.

Awesome style man, really rare to see projects with such an atmosphere like this one!

My problem was to start the game, using your "Play On the Shoulders of Giants.exe" caused to an "cant find mars.exe" so I executed this one and it worked!

MasterGod, use the link I provided in the first post

I didn't want to put the game up for general download just yet, I'm only letting the Irrlicht community give it a try now while I continue working on it.

xray, you just used Mars.exe? If the shortcut didn't work, that is a little worrisome for me.

Did it work for everyone else or no?

shadowslair, yeah, that's the bug I was talking about

Occasionally when it fades to black, it just stays on the black screen. I'm having a hell of a time debugging it, I might post the code for that bit on here. It doesn't happen every time, which makes it a real pain to debug.

Or you could pretend that your kid got the "blindness" gene I suppose

As far as the three stages idea, I'd been considering it but I also don't want to really do a big aging mechanic in the game. I may have your character grow old and just stand around for a generation instead of becoming a gravestone though... we'll see.

Thanks for all the kind words, everyone! I really appreciate it.

I did that too- starting from the shortcut did not work.

IT works but game stuck on black window when first character die, i cant switch to its children, but vitali coming still down from 80 ??

The shortcut seems set to start in your own home directory ("RJ").

It's got a nice atmosphere, an interesting concept! You might want to make the menu graphics sizes powers-of-two, they were quite badly rendered for me.
