Hello, finally I have encouraged to release the game in which I have been working in the last few months.
I'm not shure how to define it, the basic mechanics is about collecting energy and power, talking to some characters, beating the enemies and this way to unblock the portal to the following level.
Any feedback is wellcome!

A few videoes that I have uploaded in youtube:

And finally a download link to the demo:
Setup (104MB): http://pauldahuach.com.ar/SevenWitchesSetup.exe
Mirror (104MB): http://rapidshare.com/files/342083788/S ... sSetup.exe

No Setup (85.1MB): http://pauldahuach.com.ar/SevenWitchesNoSetup.zip. Needs .Net Framework 2.0 and MSVC++2005 runtime.

Have fun!

Looks interesting, downloading it now

EDIT: This is odd, whenever I try running this, it gives me an immediate "__SevenWitchesNet has stopped working" message. No console window pops up or anything. I'm running windows 7 64 bit.

Yes, looks interesting, I like the style in the videos.
But needs .NET and it seems I don't get that running with Wine :-( Guess I have to boot into Windows to check it out.

Hi, tanks for your feedback, at this time it was only tested under winxp and vista, i will try to testit on 7 asap. If you want, there's a Log.txt in the folder of the app that, if you can send it to me, could be usefull to find a solution.

EDIT: have you run the setup or just downloaded the zip file? If you downloaded the zip, you will need to setup .Net Framework 2.0 and MSVC++ 2005 Runtime manually.

Well, I'm using Irrlicht.Net Cross Platform wrapper, this should give me the hability to compile it with mono, but i think i will be trying to give stability to the windows version first.

I'll have to try it again tomorrow, I deleted all the files in my download folder

But I'll be sure to get you the log.txt then

Hi, I'm working on setting up a windows 7 to test it, in the meantime, you can try replaceing this file http://pauldahuach.com.ar/IrrlichtW.zip. This one with msvc++ 2005 runtime statically linked. Thanks again.

This looks very nice! I don't care to play fiction games, but the style of this is very cool, and it looks very clean and well thought out. Nice one, buddy.

It still doesn't work.

Hi, i been playing a little bit with Windows 7 and my golem. I think that the easy way to get this runing is just to use the setup version... The setup will suggest that you install the soft in the Program Files folder, which seems to be under a lot of security monitoring to the level that the big brother gac it will just silently kill my process whenever i try to write something to the hard disk (i.e. plain text log file). If you haven't disable the gac yet, you can try useing the option in the context menu that says Run As Administrator and it should run

. I have a screenshot taken from the virtual machine runing win7 with Virtual PC, this mean no sound, no hardware accel, so i could test the software2 driver, wich is slow, but it draws almost everything as good as the opengl driver. Hope it helps, thanks for the interest.

It works (I installed the game with the installer and run it as admin) but The font is very strange and I thi9nk it's not all in english... where can I see the controls?

EDIT: I think I got every control without the changing of the magics. I like the game but sometimes the camera or the enemies stuck at a houses. The "boss" doesn't cause any damage and he has so many lives that you have to hold ctrl. And of course the font and the language are not so good. I didn't read the objectives I just killed the enemies...
I like the game with the good AI and I hope you'll make more levels because I played the game in 15 minutes.
