Hey all, I'm back!

I'm in Uni at the moment (Games Technology) and have decided to carry on with BTR. Development will be sluggish as I do have a lot of work to do. I've worked out some bugs that prevented me from continuing before. A new menu and a few fixes have been added so far.

The majority of work at the moment will be centered towards cleaning up the code, getting it a bit more efficient and getting it working on most (hopefully all) systems.

I'm going to wait a little longer before posting up some images, I want to work on designing some more parts of the game before doing so.

Latest version will always be available from my dropbox: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/106198621/Game%20release.zip

Please reply what you think plus any bugs or errors you may receive.

Cheers

Can't figure out how to exit the building which the NPC called Jacob is inside of...

Nothing

It seems it has some memory problem. I got this problem when my vectors doesn't work properly. My SO is Win 7 64bit. What can this problem be?

It looks pretty amazing!

Just a tip, you would achieve a better immersion in the game if the character looked more "walky"

Maybe if you tried to add a little up-and-down animation when it walks, should look amazing, maybe even a little footstep sound.

Ah, I see, that is a little unintuative don't you think? it does look good, although there are some overlaps where there shouldn't be and the dialog boxes look really odd, the text is also quite hard to read.

but I'm being really pessimistic, good job with the game, I definitely couldn't build something like that.

Odd that you can't get it running in windows 7, considering I could get it running in wine, try adding a compatibility layer with XP and see if that works.

Same problem for me, Windows 7 64bit, with an AMD GPU.

OP is your game made using SFML 1.6, if so you may have to compile using the static library version of SFML to avoid a horrible AMD bug that causes the window to not appear.

Well worked for me with Win7 32 bits

NVIDIA GPU

Yeah, i decided to use sfml 1.6 for this

I'll get round to compiling using the static library when I get home later and will then upload it!

Thanks for all the comments

I had some problems when trying to animate the walking, I may go back now and try and solve that

That footstep sound isn't a bad idea!

Yeah I know

Mainly after the city place I started rushing with the collision and the overlay. I will have to remedy that in the new patch!

New download links are up for v1.1.0, with a few collision changes and static libraries.

It should work, but i couldn't static link audio just grahpics, window and system

Works for me with a AMD gpu. How did you sort the depth in the game?
