Another interesting idea sierramindy if only:

Chose a very bad word Chrissie- English
"Devious" wrong- maybe "intricate"? certainly no offence meant.sorry

another possible maybe unlikely:

Yes but ....

No offence taken at all LindaMarion & no need for apology.

There is a sheet of info about the 'stuff' - I think it would be worth reading again! I can't remember what the details were - at the time it seemed significant but not relevant at the time - if that makes sense?

dragonuk I don't think:

Thinking about it I

Ive never done this before, hope it works
i tried to close it in spoil tags but it doesnt work

i hope its ok and not against rules.it should be ok because the phosphorus poison business comes in first 5 minutes of game and is in demo which everybody has seen openly so its not giving any thing away or spoiling any thing for any body

**spoil warning**:
Best not to look at following if youve not finished game
Thank you alkis

Nevertheless, it would be best if people who haven't finished the game didn't click on Linda's link. But it's very helpful for the rest of us so thanks!

Thanks for posting that Lindamarion - I now feel a little differently about the ending:

Regarding the ending: I thought that
But of course it's up to interpretation, which I love!

Hi VinceTwelve

I didn't think there could be any other alternatives until you referred to Jason

A few more reviews have been published in foreign sites lately, here are some of the comments:

"The script is exceptional, the writing is awesome, the research that Alkis did sounds out of this world and it's one of the few games that invoke such intense feelings"
PC Master Magazine (Greek) - Grade: 80%

"Diamonds in the Rough with its innovations in puzzle design and the gripping, twisting, if not to say even stirring story absolutely deserves this high rating"
Adventure Archiv (German) - Grade: 83%

"The great and surprising story, simple controls and clever puzzles are absolutely on par with the best modern high budget productions. Clearly this game has been designed by adventure fans for adventure fans"
Adventure Spiele (German) - Grade: 4/5 stars

Hi Alkis, I agree with Nickie the main reason I have not ordered DITR is because of the insecure security browser, when I don't see the lock, I do not order from that site. Also I hate paypal, been burnt by them in the past and do not give my cc info to them. I played the demo counted down the days until this was released and hoped to buy it from Dave at interact online store. I wrote him and he said the ten copies you gave him to sell went fast and were gone. If you would consider letting interact sell them also for you, I would be one of the first to place my order for your game and I bet alot of other boomers would also. Just a suggestion. Please let us know if you release more copies to Dave. Thanks

What can I say... The 10 copies we gave to Dave were free of charge, part of an advertising deal for another web site. We do not sell the game anywhere else than our official page.

I have ordered it and got it but haven't started it yet. During summer I will be able to play it (I won't go on holiday this year!). To tell you the truth I'm very impatient to it!

You are going to enjoy this one Taurnil...
Pity you won't go on holiday this year though...

Just a note to inform you that the good reviews continue.

My favorite quote of the last review:



Oh and one more thing, if you care for some free copies of Diamonds in the Rough... Click here. Only hurry up because the giveaway will only last a week.

I have already bought the game, played it and enjoyed it. Plus I got an unsolicited email from Atropos Studios today asking me whether I want ANOTHER copy of DITR. Get real.

Something weird here. LOL

It's called a newsletter. If you do not wish to receive them, all you have to do is ask as there are clear instructions in the e-mail. I'm sorry if it bothered you, but



I don't see the need for the insults to be honest.

No insult intended. Alkis. To be honest I was a little surprised that you kept my email, name and address on file AFTER I had paid for the game and then you sought the necessity to email me asking whether I wanted to be in a "draw" for a free game. Newsletter or not ...... you obviously still have my details and I do NOT want THAT to happen, after I buy a game.

So, no insults, just I do NOT expect to get emails after I have made a transaction with MY Credit Card which is supposedly SECURE.

Everybody keeps the details of the clients for some time for several reasons; it's not my choice, it's the law. First of all, they're in our invoices which we have to present to the tax office. Second, someone might wait a few months and then protest to Paypal or their credit card company that they never made that transaction. We need to have a record of everything for our protection. The information we keep does not include your credit card number of course, which we never have access to in the first place.

I obviously can't tell who you are by your nickname, so can you please inform my associates that you want your e-mail to be removed from the list?

Hi Mystic Falls, I received the same newsletter which clearly concludes
with:

"If you do not wish to receive newsletters by Atropos Studios, please accept
our sincere apologies for the disturbance. Send us an e-mail with the phrase
REMOVE {YOUR EMAIL}
in the subject."

I can't see what there is to get so upset about! I've found it common practise to receive 'updates' from companies I've dealt with - so I think it's a little unfair to single out one for criticism.

We need to look after our game developers & refrain from unnecssary nitpicking!
