Ok, welcome here btw. :D

It has the same horrible voiceover than Zelda CD-i?. If yes, i might get a copy myself like you did, just for the lulz.

Almost, but Link's voice is impossible to top. :lol

I have to take a look at the bonus DVD. I don't even know what's supposed to be in there.

I think the game was "self-funded", most indie devs work in their games in their spare times from other jobs, i think this was the case. The problem is finding a publisher who take your game seriously and willing to spend money/time into selling it.

For now on, the indie devs will probably have it much harder, thanks to these FuckWads >:-(

They will make a lot of money after someone buys the movie rights to their story : P

I can't even begin what the room they planned this all in must look like. Imagine trying to fit all the pieces together. Probably more work than if they had learned to do it properly :D

At the very least they could have taken some RL pictures of castles and shit. Isn't England full of that stuff?

I mean, a snow covered village? I think they can find one of those too in RL. Not too much more work.

Yep, England is just full of castles and fields.

Just like in story books.

It's not that there aren't a lot of castles here, it's that the majority of the cool looking ones are hollow shells with like nothing behind the walls. Travelling the good ones here would have been beyond this developers budget lol.

Seems like ALL the videos (ingame videos, trailers, extra footage from the making of) are badly encoded at 15 fps or something, he told me they're VERY jerky :lol

Seems like GAME UK has run out of the copies they had :(

Actually, the only thing that runs at a decent framerate is the stolen footage from Pirates of the Caribbean. It's like watching those crappy CG FMV scenes from early CD games.

My copy just came in... slightly crushed.
Opened the box to 2... 2 cd sleeves for the game.

How the one with the game disc... has an Installer Key. :lol

I love the "cinematography". They really seem to love extreme closeups. Also, I've already heard the "Join us, join us, join us NOW!" sound that the Haunts from Thief make.

Douchebag. Yes, me.
When are we going to hear about the inevitable (and hopefully public) assreaming of the publishers/developers that is going to result from all of this?

It's been over a week!

Quote from an interview with Steve Bovis:

Steve Bovis said:
Steve: All of the game (apart from initial background story and some character designs) had to be re-written, all the characters had to be created in 3D and animated, all the background scenes re-created, all the sounds, coding and music?..basically everything had to be redone or newly created for the PC version. This is not an old game that has been dressed up. This is the original concept, dusted off and re-created.

When this is all said and done, I'd really like to see an in-depth analysis and interview with the "developers".

Should prove to be really interesting, heh.

You know it will never happen :D primarily because the developers are "lost" in "limbo" since this clusterfuck was known.

If an action orgy like Ninja Gaiden 2 has better prose for its inventory descriptions than a dedicated adventure title like this one, I can't wait to see what else lies in wait.

This game is fucking terrible.

A graphic adventure relies on it's characters, environment and story to form an immersive world.

This game has none of those elements.

OK, so my mate just informed me about this. I checked Ebay and found one copy for sale. $61 with three hours to go. What the flying fuck.

I think those of you who bought it might be sitting on a gold mine.

Oooh, the geocities site was taken down?

Kudos to those that have finally confirmed that this game is real. I didn't doubt, but now those that did can finally gtfo!
