Terranigma 2 - The Continuance

I’m glad to be able to tell you that the Engine is now near the finishing. Yeah, right, in the last days I have had so much lucky happenings (uhh don’t know how to describe it in English), that I will soon be finished with the originale Terranigma-System.
I don’t want to write Novels here, I have already written them^^. I link on two Entrys in the Forum that will fit up to this theme (only german, I’m sorry):

http://xenix.forencity.eu/topic,46,-engine-endspurt.html

In the next time I will move the news to the Homepage…

The final date of release of the Engine 1.0 (which I think I will offer in a techdemo an later in a real demo because of Implenting”problems”…) will be set later…

After some time-taking Issues, because the one who made the translation for me didn’t translate some textpassages, because he technically didn’t see them, I have uploaded the Demo. I Hope the Languege-Issues are not that bad… but would be nice if someone could tell me about that.

Okay, here is the Link:

http://terrahost.de/tn2/tn2_v0.3.2_demo_en.rar

Well, it is the same as old Version 0.3., just with some small Bugfixes.

Enjoy!

Well, I have uploaded the Introvideo on Youtube for all People who can’t watch it normally (because you need a lot of Codecs, I don’t know all of them; just the DivX-Codec).
Have Fun

After a long time I have uploaded a new Video in Youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljFyv03dUaI

It’s again a BS-Video and can give a little view on the

DEMO 0.3.2

As I said, there will be a new Demo with a bugfix, but I habe desided to make some more (Engine)Changes. In one day to one Week I will upload it. This Demo will still be in German, but there will be an

ENGLISH DEMO (V.0.3)

I haven’t translated the demo myself, it was translated by Arthur Maier nick: Metall Ark (XD®) Youtube acc: Metallsamus.
I will check it, and I will upload it soon. Just wait for a few hours/days.

Now someone might ask why it is the Demo 0.3 and not the newest Version? I will bring up a newer Version in English soon, but now it would be to much Work because I would have to translate big parts of the Demo again (Arthur started long ago before the new Demo was planned)….

… might some of you have thought because I haven’t been very activ in the last time in the net. But this isn’t true, except of a little break I have worked on hard. Well, I just wan’t to say that there will be

NO NEW DEMO

in the next time. The reasons are e.g. that I cannot fix some errors of the old demo (don’t want old crap in a very new Version like 0.4) oder that the part that follows to that demo is not surley fixed in the storyline. I will bring up a new Demo in the next day with some bugfixes (likely the skeletton in the cave). And, there will also be an english Demo.

But that doesn’t means that there will be no Full Version or that I have stopped working on Terranigma 2 - The Continuance. I will work on, and I’ll maybe (after thinking surley) make new Demos, but not in the next time.

I had to make a decision, because I want to finish TN2 (or lets say make a FV) befor I have my Matura, to decrease the content of the FV. That Content will handed in in Patches after the FV (e.g. all kinds of Sidequests). Although, the FV will be released in 2010.

Edit: Yeah, I’m working on a new Demo (because I had had some great ‘Erfolge’), but that Demo will be released in some Months…

After I got my nem Processor today, I want to give you 3 Hardware-Recommondations for playing TN2:

-Minimum (the game WORKS; on lower PCs it sometimes doesn’t do, or just works unplayable; but only with low Framerat and lags):

Intel Celeron D 3,06 Ghz
512 MB Ram
Ati Radeon 9250

-Normal(it will just lag at some parts like the Bossfights):

Intel Pentium D 3×2 Ghz
1 Gb Ram
Ati Radeon 9800 Xt

-Optimum(works nearly without lags, maximum Frameratereduction: 5 FPS, the framerate always stays over 35 FPS; no lags too):

Intel Core2Duo E8400 3×2 Ghz
2 Gb Ram
Nvidia Geforce 8800 Gt

I’ve testet al the settings personally with my own Hardwareconfigurations. There could be some variances (e.g. the optimum could be a little bit lower/higher)

I’m not sure for what class I will work on writing the engine… The highest class would mean the most feeling, but… 60 % of the Users would have a terrible Lag-Mess…
