this game is awesome, can't wait for the finished project

Guybrush, Congrats!

Great to hear, we're working night and day on it!

Posted a new update to the demo on www.staticgame.com

Notable Fixes:

- video playing issues
- black or white screen after video with no gameplay

Just to let you know Edi, I have Vista 32 and didn't have any of those problems. I usually don't like halloween but looking forward to it counting down the days until your game is released.

You might not have Sherryah:

the black/white screen would only have been caused, if you had an older video card without Shader Model 2.0 or greater.

It was always our intention not to require Shader capable hardware for Static: IT, but we forgot to turn on the 'fallbacks' which allow it to run on non shader 2.0+ video cards.

With shader model 2.0 or greater you get better effects, however.

- better 'per-pixel' lighting
- better 'ghostly' effects on apparitions

the video issue seemed rather sporadic, I was able to reproduce it on my development machine fairly well; and a few others confirmed it; but now it's fixed

Coffee... anyone? I could use some coffee

Game is going good, nearing the final stretch!

This is great news Edi, do you know what time you will be posting it at your site? Since I live in Europe, maybe I can download it before you get the heavy traffic on your site that would slow down the digital download.

Nope, sorry Sherrya, we don't know what time it's going up.

However if history has taught me anything it will take longer than I expect; so I would assume a lateish-Saturday (5pm to 11pm), Eastern Time, USA


P.S.
I'm going to need a week of sleep after this

Are the system requirements posted anywhere?

Hiya Becky,

They will be for release; generally speaking any current gaming setup will be sufficient;

but here are some hard and fast specs:

Windows XP or Greater (tested under Vista and Windows 7)

Just about any modern 1GHZ-2GHZ processor, but the game isn't very cpu intensive; Static does most of it's work with the video card and system ram, since it contains a lot of high definition video data.
DirectX9 compatible video card (or an older card which is DX9 capable from newer drivers) with a minimum of 128 MB of Video memory (256 or 512 is recommended, the more vram you have the better the game will perform)
1GB minimum system RAM (will run on lower, but windows XP itself doesn't really like to run on anything lower than 1GB technically)
naturally the more ram, the better.
DirectSound capable Sound hardware.


Static: IT runs natively in 1280x720 HD so a desktop resolution of at least this much will allow you to experience it at full definition; but isn't required.

Generally speaking, Static IT does a good job of running on even a toaster oven but the better your system specs the better your performance.

Thanks for the info.

I am so stalking the Edi page all day... Very exciting!

Edi, I am patiently checking out the site and hoping to be one of the first to download the purchased version.

We appreciate your patients

We're looking at a late release (big surprise) so around night; eastern time USA.

Edi, please will you post here when we can buy the game? Thanks in advance!
