Amigaworld.net News   Amigaworld.net News : The Secret of Middle City. Official demo available
   posted by g0blin on 24-Feb-2015 14:47:30 (7247 reads)
Good afternoon, my fellow Amigans,

I'm proud to announce that "The Secret of Middle City" official demo in now available for direct download from our website.

You will find all relevant information inside the download section of GDG Entertainment.

At present the demo runs on AmigaOS v4.1.x, MorphOS and MacOS X.

Windows version (tested on systems ranging from XP to 8.1) is foreseen in the next few days.

In addition, thanks to the brand new Hollywood 6 Epiphany and its stand-alone Linux environment, a Linux compliant version of TSMC could come sooner than I expected.

Enjoy the demo.

Download links are also available on Stefano Buonocore website, the game creator and designer.

Best regards

Gianluca Girelli

@G0blin

Thanks for the reply, I think the text style change is a bit more jarring as the select dialogue option is the same style used for actual dialogue in the introduction, I thought it was the same when in-game.

It wasn't a total system lock-up I had, just the game window stopped responding and Ambient trapped it as "Meditating" and offered to kill it. I was able to restart it and play again straight away though.

Glad you like the wallpaper, here you go :) http://i.imgur.com/ZScp9O6.jpg

Looking forward to future updates, great start!

@tlosm

hmmm, no one has ever asked for that ... and I don't have a ppc Mac to test it, but I'll compile the demo for you and put it on the server.

I'll post the link as soon as job is done.

cheers

=== EDIT ===

Demo is available at the following link

www.gdg-entertainment.it/demos/MacOS_X_ppc.zip

As said, I don't have a machine to test it on, so please report back.

Thanks

PS: Please note you have to have at least MacOS 10.4 for this version to run (10.6 on intel chipset)

Not at all, but I need Hollywwod 6 to compile it and I still didn't received the CD from Andreas.

I'll get back to you asap.

Sorry for the trouble. It was not meant to be this way.

Gianluca

Tested it yesterday on my MorphOS. My first impressions so far: The music and graphics are excellent. Regarding stability I had no lock ups. The font color on the upper dialogs (where you chose what to say) is way too bright imo. With double clicking after a dialog started you should be able to skip it. It would be nice to adjust speed of dialogs from the options menu as well. Finally it would be nice to have a talkie edition because there is too much reading into it. Even if the voice over isn't done in a professional studio or by actors, I would like to listen the dialogs even from the devs instead of only reading.

Runs nicely here on A1-500 with FE. Like the music and 'retro' feel of the game. Reminds me of Broken Sword. Did get one Hollywood error in the police station:

Table field 3 was not initialized!
File: Library.hws (current line: 987 - In function: p_random_dialogs)

Thanks for reporting it. Where you able to reproduce it, or did it just happened once. Do you remember what were you doing in that moment? Besides dialogs, I mean. Clicking on screen borders etc....

very nice game even if play area is too small and there are some things with audio i don't like very much.

music and effects are ok, but with multiple choice answer if i don't select nothing music and effect stop to work and restart after i click on question or answer.
i continue to listen tipewriter in any stages when i interact with any caracthers.

When i enter in a room i cannot go out and i like to have freedom to do it

I'm glad you liked the game. Please explain better about play area. As fas as audio, sound effects are still being developed, and they are not final (read the release notes .... )

Yes, you are right. We are still working on it.

Quote:

Typewriter sound was meant to underline a dialog in progress, so it plays any time a character is speaking. We will change sound for sure, since I see it is confusing players.

Quote:

This effect was meant for the first chapter (the one included in the demo). It was designed to underline the fact that you still have things to do before leaving: in other words, a kind of tutorial.
You will have much more freedom of movent in the full game.

Thanks for trying the demo.
Gianluca
