AN OLD MAN AND HIS QUEST
------------------------
A Ludum Dare 48-hour Competition Game
Cursor keys to move
Space bar to activate items
's' to toggle sound
If the game complains about DirectX stuff, you might need to install the Feb.2010 Redistributables: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=0cef8180-e94a-4f56-b157-5ab8109cb4f5
You might also need the Visual Studio 2005 SP1 redistributables: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=200B2FD9-AE1A-4A14-984D-389C36F85647&displaylang=en
The game starts in 1280x1024 full screen by default... This sometimes
causes the game to not display anything if this doesn't match your
desktop resolution (still don't know why, don't have time to figure
out).
Anyway, the easy way to go around is to either activate window mode, or
to change the resolution to the desktop one.
To do so, just edit the "res.txt" file...
First line is the width, second line is the height.
Third line is fullscreen mode: 0 turns it off (goes windowed), 1 turns
it on.
Game might also misbehave in screens that aren't 4:3 (don't have a setup
here to test it at the moment)...
Other than that, have fun!
Bug fixed version (not compo allowed, I think) fixes the following:
- Initialization stuff on DirectX when desktop resolution is different than the fullscreen resolution
- ESC no longer skips levels
- Level 4 should be a bit easier
- Lighting should be correct on all computers now
Even if you evaluate the compo version, take a look at this one and feel free to commen! :)
