If you experience performance problems, it is recommended to quit all other memory-hungry applications before running Plyushkin Syndrome and reduce screen resolution to 800x600 (that will automatically reduce mirror resolution and give you extra FPS).

Use default configuration if you experience crashes. We are sorry about that.

Sitting and waiting

That's the current status. Demo has been polished and presented. 9 projects will compete in the finals for the right to challenge best Latvian project.

Meanwhile I have discovered a few post factum crashes in our demo if engine is misconfigured. I feel sorry about that and suggest to use engine configuration utility only if the game doesn't start, otherwise use in-game options dialog to configure video resolution etc.

Also, after demo 1.0 release I've heard complaints about keyboard configuration and carefully thought about it. Still I find it more convenient to bind up/down actions to W and S keys, while keeping Right/Left mouse buttons bound to forward/backward.

I'd like to inform those who are out of context that demo will be available for download anytime soon and you'll be able to vote for your favorite project at www.games.lt .

Week #X: the end draws near

Weeks of silence passed and now we are ready to announce final development phase. We could not present demo 1.1 version in public because INDAGO contest authorities requested to keep it secret until the 1st of November, when voting will start.
Thus we're still allowed to show screenshots. So here we are, probably the very last screenshots presented.
Good luck to other contestants and see you all in next stage!

Britney Spears in Trouble

Ok, actually I do not know much about BS, but our team really has some trouble. Yesterday, after some malfunction in power supply line, our nightly build and svn server went down and now it is on the way to the PC's heaven ... Good news is that our HDD was not damaged and all data is safe. I hope the only damaged part is PSU and we will restore our development sever. In any case I believe we will finish our tasks in time!

Week #17: Every working program has an even count of bugs

This time no major feature updates or anouncements, only a few interesting screenshots from debugging session. Kind of modern art, huh? :)










I know I know - beta version should have been released already according to plan. But missing the deadline by a week or two is not a tragedy I think, we have estimated that risk too.
