Just downloaded the new version, and the bugger got me too... :D

Nice work.

[Edit: Hmm... Going onto the next page has rather confused the meaning of this message. Suffice to say, Duskbane is scary]

Hehe, you should check your emails before uploading stuff. Nevermind :D

Parallel 7 is taking up rather a lot of contest space now - we really need a delete function for those uploads...

Will do, Interf. I fixed the .chr problem, moved the fight over a bit because there was an invisible blockage, ran the scientists around a bit, and poked a scary error message in my BS that didn't actually do anything, but was scary. Will send the stuff.

Get on IRC Interf. we need to syncronise. :D

Ok, ladies and gentlemen, the bugfix is posted. Go grab the "Parallel7bugfix2" rar. NOT the others!

Edit:

NONONO! Bugger! Don't grab that either! Sorry to be an ENORMOUS pain but THAT's wrong too. Forgot to enclose the recompiled maps. Grab Bugfix 3 INSTEAD. McGrue, we REALLY need that file delete option!

Glad you liked it rpgking! I scripted the damn thing, and made that sound effect, and still it made me jump every time it happened while I was testing! Look forward to more scariness for Duskbane complete, and probably a different key for confirm ;)

This HOV has been GREAT. I've currently finished playing Duskbane and The Phobos Project plus I had a go on Eine Verschmutzung too but the battle system confuses and astounds me. It's Mario Paint meets The Seventh Saga!

Duskbane: absolutely amazing graphics. Damn you, they're good! Troupe's soundtrack is suitably athmospheric too and the title theme is great (I've been playing it in Winamp). The atmosphere in general, in fact, is great. The Thief-like medieval steam-punk feel is something very close to my heart. By the way, what's the document on the title screen actually? I can make out something about birth dates

On playing the Phobos Project, two things came to mind: "Nice! 640x480!" and "Vortex? What the Jimmy Hill?" It's brief, but it's nice to see that a game I've seen in all its public forms (DOS v2, Winv2 and now v3) is still being worked on. Didn't expect to see it in a HOV, mind you.

I still have a couple more to get. Milk, Geas and maybe another one I think.

Edit: Hmm, "Milk" seems to have slipped onto page two of the contest directory. That'll be indirectly my fault thanks to all those bloody patches! McGrue, could you delete all but the latest patch and the main distributable?

Thanks Interference! Parallel 7 came out really nice by the way. The battle/menu systems are incredibly impressive for an HoV. But its damn hard! All these games are damn hard! Either that or I suck :(

You should register, Hyptosis.

I think, for once McGrue, those weren't the docs in question. But now the HoV is by, I'll try and add a little each day. :D

I think the documentation was acctualy form a ship wrecked journal. =D

Hyptosis, if you email me I can change your old account's email to your current email so you may recover it easily.

Hehe, yeah, the combat is rather harder than I intended - think of it as a way to add some playtime. But save, and expect to die a few times. So, combat tips for people who find it hard:

-Just like in real life, you won't always get what you hit on... I mean hit what you aim at.
-Unaimed will hit most often and is the quickest, but if you do pull of an aimed attack, you'll do more damage and have an extra effect. A:Body is useful as it delays the enemy and isn't too much harder than unaimed, but you might find a few good A:Arm hits useful in the last battle.
-Movement is important, try and make sure you get the first hit. Also, tackling the multiple enemies one after the other is easier than all at once.
-Make sure you heal back to full after the drunk battle. You'll need it.
-Keep Anna alive, the experience is useful.
-If all else fails, just try and get luckier next time.
