Update:
Here's a link to the game as it is now:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RV09O4CHYou need to extract all of the files to the same folder, somewhere on your computer, for it to work.
It does require DirectX 9.0c and I don't gurantee that it will work on a Mac not running Windows. If a Mac user can prove otherwise, please do!
Controls (like a typical 3rd person 3D RPG):
W: move forward
S: move backward
Q: strafe left
E: strafe right
A: turn left
D: turn right
ESC: Close the game. It should close instantly but it may take up to 5 seconds depending on your computer.
Hold the LEFT mouse button to control the camera with the mouse. You may move the cube while holding the mouse button.
Known bugs:
-No gravity: if you go off the map, you don't fall.
-Holding Right-click will stop the camera where it is. Right-click is the next feature to be implimented. This action is temporary.
-Releasing the left mouse button "teleports" the camera back to the default position instead of smoothly scrolling back. This is to be fixed soon.
- When you left-click, the mouse cursor disappears, which is correct. However, when you release the left mouse button, your cursor appears in a different location from where it was when you clicked the button. Ideally, it should pop back up in the same place. The same is true for right-clicking.
The game is set to 800x600 resolution in 32-bit colour, so it should perform on most computers. When we're further in development, we'll give players a bunch of ways to control graphic quality. We're in DirectX 9 so this game can look pretty if we try.
Sorry I couldn't go DirectX 10. I don't have Vista so I can't support it at all, nor do I want to force everyone to get Vista to run this.
DarkBasic Pro doesn't support DirectX 10, either. DX 9 it is. B)
Give it 10-15 seconds on the full black screen to load. If you get an error, please let me know what it is. Thanks.
