Re: UAKM for Windows - Teaser

Hi, season's greetings and I wish you all the best. I just tried your 1.0 WinTex.exe, but nothing opened when I ran it. I went back to your 0.9 WinTex.exe, and it gave a DMAP.LZ error. I used different compatibility settings, to no avail. As I posted earlier in the thread, it used to work. I was us...

Re: UAKM for Windows - Teaser

Here's an early Christmas present to those interested: My final release of WinTex. This time there are 2 downloads, a zip of the exe as before for those who just want to try it out, plus a bonus zip with file format documentation and source code for the 3 of you who are curious or would like to mak...

Re: Kickstarter Rewards Updated / Box / Radio Theatre and Dead Links on BFG Site

This post by the Discord user ChronoWolf explains what happened to the site and how to get your backer downloads. Basically, you send him a private message with your user info, and he'll look up your backer's record and send you the downloads. Of course, you need to get a Discord account first if y...

Re: Rita James: Escape from Thunder Island (Without Adobe Flash Player)

Windows Update removed Adobe Flash Player from my PC. Now the game won't work. How can i keep playing? Thanks. I just tried the game on a Windows 7 PC with flash installed and it still worked. Windows 10 doesn't let Flash run anymore, and any workaround would be risky. Better have a Win7 PC ready f...

Re: Poisoned Pawn?

That was from a year ago. Their latest tweet is below, which is also from last year:

Re: Poisoned Pawn?

if you want to know more about the game visit https://discord.gg/aDH8du6 I have already been reading those posts. Nothing indicates the game is anywhere near completion. And that is all because they gave up on simply making a remake for Overseer, which was what Tex fans had all wanted in the first ...

Re: Poisoned Pawn?

the guys are not getting paid for the work they are doing. They have always been that way. But they actually had a realistic timeline at the beginning when they had a smaller game in mind. They started development in late 2014 and at one time expected to finish at the end of 2018. Then they decided...

Re: Poisoned Pawn?

Working in their spare time means they are progressing at a slow rate, and they could lose money from that too as time goes on. The tech they use may become outdated, and they'll need to spend extra money upgrading their computers and game engines. What if VR is no longer a thing when the game final...

Re: Poisoned Pawn?

Indie projects are usually tight on money. If there is any apparent delay, it's usually due to money issues. Running out of money would immediately stop a project in its tracks due to layoffs and cutbacks. In these projects, game design skills are not as important as how well they MANAGE MONEY. Tesl...

Re: 17 Years

Here is an interesting video on why there aren't flying cars and likely never will be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdAQefnZsLk Basically, the need to travel vertically has already been served by tunnels, bridges, overpasses, subways, and helicopters. Also, if your flying car malfunctions in the...

Re: UAKM for Windows - Teaser

...But when I "look" at an object and hear Tex's comments, I cannot move until Tex finishes talking. The original game lets you go back to movement mode while you hear Tex. Some of Tex's dialog is long, so you may want to let the player move while he is talking. You can click on the left ...

The UI changes are definitely in the right direction. But when I "look" at an object and hear Tex's comments, I cannot move until Tex finishes talking. The original game lets you go back to movement mode while you hear Tex. Some of Tex's dialog is long, so you may want to let the player mo...

Re: "Making of Tex Murphy" Documentary Party and Special Eve

This video is certainly better than I had expected. I thought we would only get a 15-minute blooper reel type of video like one of the backer's rewards. But a 43-minute of nicely-edited video that feels like an actual documentary is terrific. The end credits show the names of all the backers, I beli...

Re: Oculus Rift - virtual reality headset

On expert predicts that it will only sell half as well due to high price, lack of content, and unattractive form factor, LOL. I agree with the last part: the thing looks ugly.
