Thanks for the demo... I enjoyed it looking forward to the full game.

Sumac, If the game isn't working, the developer wants to get in touch with you about fixing it. Here's what he says on the Amarhys website: If you find a bug or if you have some comments or questions linked to this new demo, please :
* send an email to demo@amarhys.com * post a message in the forum.
All comments which could help to improve the final game are welcome.
Unlike big game studios, I did't have the opportunity to test the game on hundreds of computers with lot of different OS and graphic card configurations, so please be indulgent if the game is not working on your computer. If it's the case, please send me an email to demo@amarhys.com giving me as much details as you can (at least your OS and the model of your graphic card, as well as a brief description to explain how the game is crashing for you) and I will do my best to investigate and to provide a patch to make it work for you. Thanks in advance.

That demo was very slick, and so Myst like. The graphics are gorgeous, motion is very smooth. And, when does the full game come out amarhys??? You've done a superb job.

Thanks for the tip/. The demo is a pretty environment,but my question: I have "sea waves" set to "enabled". Yet,the ONLY animation I see is the flag moving and the windmill turning. I have a pretty good PC,so it's not my PC. Is the water SUPPOSED to be moving? If not,it's just a pretty slideshow of a game. No animation in this day and age is pretty old-school,in my opinion. robedits, what you're seeing is a demo of a game that's in the process of development. Everything to be placed in the final version may not be seen in the demo, since it really isn't necessary at this point in time. Perhaps the waves you wish to see will be seen when the final version is released.

UNderstood....thanks...just needed to know if my computer wasnt taking advantage of the animation,especially since I had that box checked!
No I am not "missing the point". I was simply asking if the moving water animation was or was not working in the demo. The demo looks like a pretty slideshow otherwise. I've recently purchased some "old school" games from GOG, so it's obvious (at least to me) that top-shelf grfx are not my only criteria. OR else I'd have a newer-than-six-yrs-old PC. However,a "new game" nowadays that's being advertised as a graphical adventure should have at least state of the art 2d/3d grfx,in my opinion. The demo shouldn't have "water animation" as an option and not have it animate...the box just shouldn't BE there to throw folks off. Riven in its time had great grfx.THis seemed like Riven,with less animation.I understand it's a demo...but my question simply was whether or not the "water animated." Animation in NEW games is important to me,but old-school is ok,if it's not passed of as new-school,so to speak. My opinion.

Hello, I was simply asking if the moving water animation was or was not working in the demo.
It should .. unfortunately you're not the only one not to see the waves. I use Pixel Shader function of 3D video card to simulate sea waves but it seems that is does not work properly for everybody .. I am investigating the issue. Thanks for your feedback In any case all kind of feedbacks are welcome, they will help me to improve the final game and to make it satisfy as much people as I can .. within the limits of a game based on pre-calculated renderings (which means for example that the number of animated objects is limited) .. for sure it won't become a real time rendering game like Battlefield -amarhys

A very good-looking game for a one-person operation. I enjoyed it, though, it did involve a bit of pixel-hunting..
Currently working on: The Factory(suspense-thriller, coming 2015)

I finally managed to download and play this demo. I found it stunningly pretty and great fun. I really does remind me of MYST and be assured that that is a very good thing. I too didn't get the 'wave motion' but at this point I really didn't care. I loved the scenery and the music. I did have one oddity which may be due to a glitch in my computer (Which desperately needs replacement!) The game would not play in "Full Screen" mode, but as soon as I unchecked that option it ran flawlessly. That's not complaint, but it is a new piece of info. I do have one request: please don't wait seven more years to finish this. I'll be seventy two then and at the rate I'm deteriorating, I won't be able to play it then. Thanks for the demo.
If all the people were heroes, there would be no one to watch the parades.

Hi Amarhys, I have not been able to start the demo. I get the configuration screen, but when I hit "OK", all I get is a BLACK screen. I HAVE downloaded the patch you sent to me, but the same thing happens anyway. I HAVE been doing e-mail with you and you asked me to send you a certain "debug.txt" file, but it does not exist on my WIN XP computer.If you are able to come up with more suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks Sandy

sanford, it sounds as though the developer is doing what they can off the board to help you and this forum is for game discussions only. Either please continue to discuss privately with the developer or post in glitches. Ana
Don't feed the Trolls
