Just a quick question for the technically minded... My work computer automatically does it's windows update thing while ever I'm connected to the internet which is fine. What's not fine is that whenever updates have finished downloading, the computer will automatically reboot before/after (whichever...

... hey, who are you calling old???

Hope you have heaps of fun Rose!

Considering the time & effort that has (probably :wink: ) gone into the game engine/editor, I'd wager that further development will be done in terms of features, graphics, gameplay etc etc & that at some time a new game/s will be produced whether it be a new Wonderland Adventure or something differe...

Brilliant job Pat, Claire, James, Jonn & team. First impression when I loaded up was WOW - big wow factor as far as visuals & sound... and it just got better from there - wise move with James & Jonn on the team again. Haven't had a whole lot of time to play it yet... just made it through the first s...

Yep, painfully slow describes it nicely... and it's just finished now :D I recently purchased Uleads DVD Creator Plus v5 & opted for the download version (you know, just to get it sooner 'cause I needed it for a project) and finished downloading the 570+megs ( :shock: :shock: :shock: ) about 5-6 day...

I didn't take part in the competition Muzozavr.

I'm actually paying for the game
A paltry amount at $19.95 for such quality.

Weighs in at 24meg. 40 minutes & counting...

Robbie

Thanks Pat!

Just received my email ... will still have to wait an hour or so for it to download ... are we there yet???

Robbie

Sounds good Pat,

Have my coins all ready to send!

Robbie

Hey Pat Nice preview! You know though it was about 58minutes 36seconds too short though :wink: oh well... though definitely long enough for my sad dial-up connection. Sorry I haven't been around to contribute much lately. A big thanks to those who did so - the usual suspects :D Have to say it looks ...

You know girls I haven't even played a level in so long let-a-lone made one... probably since the last big contest

I'm in even though we don't have halloween over here!

Robbie

so true... Ultima was sort of like the Zelda for the PC. Not having access to broadband, or the time, I've never played any of the online RPGs but they sound interesting. I pretty sure this has been raised previously (albeit quite a while ago) - I know the original Ultimas are available via emulator...

Being a relatively young developer that must have been pretty inspiring! Just imagine, you could be the next Richard Garriott... though Lord Wonderland doesn't quite have the same ring :roll: What sort of stuff does he work on now? Robbie 8) PS. A conference report might be interesting for the forum...

I a number of the Infocom games, a little on the devious side as I recall. One of my favourites were the Questron games from 1984 & 1988 (link >>> http://www.mobygames.com/game/questron-ii - may not be familiar so I thought I'd throw that in) - I remember it being quite enjoyable to play, the big pu...

C64 Pauline. I remember spending half the night playing those games... the other half waiting for the games to load up

Robbie

Now that takes me back Pauline!

We still have ours out in the shed somewhere...

Robbie

PS. Oh, & great update Pat. Nice to see the progress continuing. Occassional pictures (now & then you know) won't be discouraged

One more for the boys! Come on guys, we know you're out there.

As a last resort Pat you might have to put in your vote.

Robbie

... thanks Theo... in spirit if not posts :wink: I guess sometimes people just move on as well. Hard to imagine with such a great game but so it goes. For myself I've just been really busy between work, home, children (& their nappies :? <<not a confused look, just not too excited from the smell com...

Gee, that's come around quick... ** ducks **

Happy Birthday Maureen
Hope you have a really great day.

Robbie

Nice one Anthony! :D Just registering my existance on the forum... it's been a while :roll: To & from school with Vani & Akanisi, we usually sing songs (they get progressively louded the closer we are to the destination)... One day last week I decided to sing "There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza...

Been really busy lately checking out what's available... Thanks Monica, Mette & Midiman for the feedback. I ended up going with Coffeecup HTML editor, the Flash Form builder & FTP transfer program. I'd recommend giving it a go Mette - you get 30day trial runs. Even for someone like me with absolutel...

No offence taken girls. I appreciate that it wasn't really clear & something that wasn't really popular so I removed it accordingly. I'd prefer the new program be something that everyone's looking forward to, not dreading. While it may seem I've had a lot to say... ok ok I've had more than my fair s...

Hi everyone! I'm in the process of getting a web site up & running for a business I have & was curious to hear what programs others use for creating & maintaining their sites. I'm trialling CoffeeCup at the moment - it seems to be pretty good & has the bonus of having an established forum... What's ...

Pat Wrote Next up on the agenda is the story/dialogue system - this is where the "adventure" elements of the new Wonderland will come into play. I've been doing a lot of reading on interactive storytelling, such as books by eminent (and eccentric) game designer Chris Crawford (link) and screenwriter...

'Unlikely' being the operative word Theo... you know you shouldn't mention 'free' until after he's finished - needs some incentive to keep going & why not the thought there's lots of money to be made (& of course our happiness )

Robbie

Looks great Pat! Even at this early stage there's some visually stunning stuff. Teleporter - the new teleporter looks amazing. Would be nice to factor in the ability to increase or decrease the effect - I'm presuming this is animated so might not be easy. The idea being that you could attach greater...

Flooring - that falls away after x amount of time whether you’ve stepped off it or not - variable rates of speed for this process Platforms - variable sizes/speeds - fixed pathway - possibly elevator style (up/down) or even a combination of dimensions x/y/z… Wings - when worn result in a gradual de...

Block Pushing, Pulling, Carrying, Throwing, Stacking In its current form, things can only be pushed in increments of one unit. You mentioned that box pushing will be totally different and if it’s not too late to make suggestions here are some bound to give you more headaches… - being able to push b...

Level Preview/Title Screen Just an additional thought. What if when creating & saving a level there be the option of attaching a jpg file (x by x pixels) This could be a screenshot with a title/author name or even a title with a drawing representing what the level is about. When submitting the leve...

Customising Viewpoint 2 This visual is kinda what I had in mind on the viewpoint issue – it shows very the very basic rotational & zooming ability. The initial viewpoint would be set at roughly where it currently is. When you move the mouse up to the top right hand corner (or wherever), a transpare...

Thanks Lillie, I'm going to have to stick to my day job though as the 'eternal gratitude' (that Patrick is currently offering) to Australian dollars conversion rate is pretty low :cry: :wink: Editor 2 Just some observations regarding the editor Pat again which you may have already begun the process ...
