Hi Eric,

The instructions are the next step. The only issues I am working on with the game are related to memory and speed.

The game has a tremendous amount of code. Back in May, Xassar reached 10,000 lines. Today it is well over 20,000 lines of code! Though great for complexity, this unfortunetely takes a lot of memory. There is also over 10 MB of media, including music, sounds, and graphics. Though this is nothing for the desktop, its PPC version is weighty.

All said, it is very, very close to being completed.

I am finished with Xassar's Quest! Right now I am just doing an overhaul on my website, a little spring cleaning. I finishing Xassar's page and nailing down the last behind the scenes items (web info, billing etc.) You should all see it shortly.

That's good news indeed!
Any chance to get a review copy for my PocketPlayers website!?

Wooo hooo. I cannot wait!

Zehlein, cool web site you have there. Great news section, too bad I cannot read German (I think it is German right?).

Well, for better or for worse Xassar's Quest was released today! I can't believe how long this project took. I promised myself I wouldn't quit the project until it was done (more than 3 years). Now for the onslot of tech support I don't know why I do this to myself. Enjoy.

mmtb, the download for both jbpiano and xassar won't work for me. I get an error:

"CGI Timeout
The specified CGI application exceeded the allowed time for processing. The server has deleted the process"

btw, I'm still interested in a review copy of your game for www.pocketplayers.info

It looks like I have an old server hot plan. I am in the middle of upgrading so it will take a few days to get back up.

That's a bummer.  Hopefully it won't take too long to get up and going, because I really want to get a copy of this.  Where will we be able to buy it from?

If it would be of any help, I could provide an alternate download for the demo until your plan is upgraded.

Hmm. I submitted the news for Xassar over at PocketGamer a week ago, yet it hasn't been announced yet. I re-submitted the info on Thursday, still no post.

I have watched their announcements over the past two weeks. They are only putting up one game every other day. I noticed a few of their links are broken as well. Does anyone know if they are having problems over there?

Also, can any of you suggest other popular sites to announce Xassar on?

Interesting. AximSite and PocketMatrix sound good. I thought ClickGamer was a software retailer. I couldn't find a place to submit news. I wrote PocketPCThought a while ago. THey never responded. I'll have to try again.

Thanks

True, sorry ClickGamer is a software retailer, did you post your game for sale there?

Has ClickGamer been good? 35% profit is a huge amount to lose. Has it been worth it?

It all depends on the promotions you are willing to do with their newsletter. Without any don't expect anything good. They will only pay you when you sale over 1000$ in the month.
