FFS, it's a piece of software (based on a standard) that essentially hasn't changed for years now (except it got whiter for some reason like ever Google product). It's not like you have factory lines of people assembling every RSS entry that you need to move now to assemble YouTube videos.

Bugs / Re: Unable to start demo.

I will but later tonight, right now I am at work. Where I cant install it.

No info on the "under5.cab is corrupted"?

*hopes to play this soon*

Hmm, no idea what that's about. It could be that your download got messed up. IndieDB file hosting acts funny when under a high load.

Try the admin thing when you get the chance and let me know if that worked for you.

Try running the game as admin. It's a problem with the demo version because it saves the game state in the executing folder.

Let me know if that helped.

Hmm. While the game might be available for direct purchase at some point, I'm not sure that will help you with your CC problems. Because even then I'd probably use EU based e-commerce provider that you might not be able to use anyway.

That's some weird limitation you have on your CC. I live in a backwater EU country and I can buy stuff anywhere in the world np. :/

Unfortunately it was necessary to do this due to spam bots.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but as other have said, it's only for a first few posts.

Is there any other way to buy it? I would like to support it but I cannot make purchases with my CC that are outside the USA...
Guess I will have to wait for steam

Did you try both GamersGate and Desura? Between those two you should have a bunch of options how to buy. If you live in USA you can upload money to PayPal and purchase that way, right?

I run the game at 1650x1080 and I found the need to increase the font size, maybe I am going blind but I find the text rather hard to read, I see why it was chosen due to the style but a slightly more legible version would be appreciated.

I also a lot of the orange text has a strange interlaced style texture to it please just make it a solid colour as it is also a pain in the ass to read on the smaller font setting.

I guess I missed this post somehow. Spinewire, if you're still here could you post a screenshot of the text interlacing. There shouldn't be any one the text itself as long as you play on your native resolution (or windowed).

Thought I'd bump this thread instead of starting a new one.

I put a little time into this last night and it's really fantastic. Builds a wonderfully bleak atmosphere and the music is amazing. I especially like the Temple of Elemental Evil-style combat visuals with the green-yellow-red graph and overlay. That's one of the best visual identifiers I've seen to inform me how much action I'm working with.

I'm playing fullscreen at 1920x1080 and I wish the fonts were bigger (in terms of dialog/mouseover text) and more legible (menus). I think the typeface for dialog is fine, but an option to increase the size would be welcome. I know the face for the menus is going for low-fi sci-fi, but it needs a little more contrast to aid in legibility.

Also, I have no idea where the warehouse near the GMS is. I found a spot that looked a lot like a warehouse, but there was just a sentry patrolling around.

I'll just copy/paste the answer to this from that other forum.

I'm planning to implement a higher resolution font for all the in game text at some point. Btw, you can increase font size for the dialog (but only for that) right now in the options.

Yes, this is something I plan to fix.

If you mean like move and do daily chores and stuff, then no.

Some NPC will move to other areas and back depending on the world/quest state, but that's about it.

There are no plans to add surface areas at the moment. Perhaps in an expansion pack or something like that.

I got to destroy boulders with energy weapons (laser/plasma guns) 

Woops, no energy resistance on them. Fixed.

God dammit, Styg. Here go my precious, precious bucks. For next Ultima!

What? No, that wasn't my intention. Quite the opposite.

I'd criticize this project but I wouldn't know where to start...

This looks to me more of a parody than Matt Barton's kickstarter (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Vhynwnsm28).
