recent fix's stray hotspot on one of the statues better clues on the train and puzzlebox intro text is easier to read "Use" commands in context

Nice One
Nice game Nige, I like the creepy atmosphere, very nicely rendered. When that kid's name rang out it gave me a bad case of the creeps. Tre cool. I'm still stuck on the statue order. Will keep trying different combos. Cool to see a game with a first person interface. Shows the versatility of the engine!

I'm still stuck on the statue order. Will keep trying different combosyou helped design it lol.. its a lot different from the first one i showed you that room has 1260 lines of AS :shock:

Statue Puzzle
Wow...that's a lot of code. I had a feeling it was a doozie when you were explaining it to me. Only fellow developers will appreciate the agony it took to create something like that.

Wait, wait... The Lassie compiler generated 1200 lines of Action Script to describe ONE sprite in your game?!?!? Nige, I officially give you "Lassie power-user" status.

i ment all the sprites in that room, phases etc combined.. , i'll send the AS if you want to have a look :wink: we're doing a bit of a rethink at the moment, and try to give a few hits, stuff that seemed obvious to the writer , isn't as easy once its in thee game, soo clues and stuff are being added... just when i thought it was almost over :roll:

Cheers for the rar. Will get back to you once I've had a bash - but I should probably try getting some sleep about now - 5am!! Will let you know if it's too hard for my feeble bain... I mean brain.

the whole game has been update to make some things a bit more clear all files are now updated

it now has a lot better ending and i'm about done with it.. so its officially final as far as i can tell .. if you think its worthy of the main site your welcome to add it Greg Thats me done for awhile.. i'm going to get my head around drawing 2D characters and AS, oh and landscape our back garden :cry: my punishment for sitting on my ass for the last 6 months :?

Okay Nige, I'll have to give the games section some love and attention this weekend... long weekend here, should be doable. Can you just re-post the FINAL link here in this post so that I can be sure that I'm hitting the right version? Oh, and do you have some kind of "iconic" graphic that I could use for a news item? Thanks!

the link is pretty much set in stone now m8.. i'm not doing the exe version so its just the online or rar download.. but i'll post the final link for the weekend i'm gonna try and keep it for the lovecraft thing and lassie site related, hopefully the bloggers won't get wind and swamp my server.. i'm dreading that the only mod is to the ending which i'll do tonight i'll sort out a graphic for an icon thanks :D edit will this do for an icon? the final link to the rar fle is: http://www.nigecstudios.uk.to/lcraft/handymanw.rar website: http://nigecstudios.uk.to/lcraft/index.html

good icon, although can you make it a GIF please?

i used SA's as a template so it should be the right sort of size

nige in panic mode :cry: the game has had over 11000 hits in the last 24hrs! cr*ping myself in regards of the old bandwidth issue, i won't know till the figure updates tomorrow, the saving grace is the month is almost out so i have time to sort a download alternative even Lazylaces (game blog) has deemed it worth

If you're providing it for full download, I would highly recommend Evil Share where WMYT is currently residing. Despite its sinister name, the site is actually a really great service provider. There is no bandwidth allocation since the download page had advertising on it, and yet unlike other download sites that work this way, they've kept their ads very reasonable is size and presence. Most importantly, the advertising does not get in the way of finding the download button, which I can't say about several other hosts I tried out.
