FINALLY a new demo. Some info : -The map is not ready yet.There'll be fog of war and you'll move using the arrow keys to move a sprite.This will be implemented soon.For now you move by clicking on a location -You can't do very much except walk around and get some items- the first riddles and interactive stuff will be in the next demo. -Working inventory : you can drag items into your inventory -Examine : you can examine things by right-clicking them -play the game at 800x600 ! -Sorry to all playtesters : your names aren't mentioned because I'm making a new "Credits" page that'll look much better. -It seems that I have the brightness turned up too high on my monitor.If the game seems too dark you might try to increase brightness. -If you still want to try it after reading all of that, just go to Acronia Demo Four (edited link) You actually read all of this ?

I tried running the game and I got an error comdlg32.ocx is missing or invalid.

I''m using my machine at work and it only has DX 6.1
Is that a problem?

Of course, you might download the previous demo from my site and then play this one, but ...

I tried the one from the website, and got the same error...maybe I don't have the VB run-time files?

It said run time error 339 if that helps...It's probably just these stupid systems we have here at work

well I have no idea
A) Could be DirectX or something
B) The game uses the media player so that might be it - I''ve written my own player but haven''t implemented it yet
C) Something I don''t understand at all

Ahh, we''ll see tomorrow.I''ll make that setup and a demo using my own player and then we''ll see.Thanks for the feedback Nazrix.
