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 finishing Xassar's page and nailing down the last behind the scenes items (web info, billing etc.) You should all see it shortly. [ Edited Sun Apr 06 2008, 01:14am ] | ||

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. http://www.climbwalls.net/dungeonsforever.htm | ||

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 There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in. (L.

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.

Registered Member #7 Joined: Fri Jun 16 2006, 01:39amPosts: 113 | 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? | ||

They will only pay you when you sale over 1000$ in the month. Regards, Alain Deschenes President and programmer ArianeSoft Inc. (http://www.arianesoft.ca) | ||
