Hi All,

I originally posted this probably in the wrong section and am reposting now here. A demo version of Cold Dawn (written in DBC) is now available in the download section of www.cold-dawn.com. Screenshots are also available in this website. The game is virtually (99%) finished.

If you do download it and try it out, I would love to hear any feedback you may have. Please be as brutal as you like - I wont mind at all if you think it sucks.

Cheers,

Chas.

tried to get the demo before you start charging for it, and...

meanwhile, a clickable link, some screenshots here and some info on the game would have been nice (please don't say "i was in a rush"... that's a sad excuse for an excuse, and all too common).

1. Screenshots are available under the "screenshots tab" in the main website or for convenience - http://www.cold-dawn.com/index.php?p=1_2_Screenshots

2. Info on the game is also available immediately on the home page of www.cold-dawn.com

3. Further info can be obtained from the dowloadable manual

4. I havent started charging for the game yet but for some inexplicable reason the storage provider (www.yousendit.com) has removed those files I uploaded and I'm not best pleased about it. Its not because the storage or download capacity has been breached either and being on holiday I cant readily up load it which is very annoying to say the least. I do apologise for this and will try to rectify the situation within the next few days or so.

Perhaps you should post the link like this

I'm sure more people would look into it.

Hey there - you might recognize me from the SW3D forums!

Appears to be rocksolid, will download it as soon as possible to give it (yet another) go in this near-final version.

Congratulations on completing a long-term project like this!

This is a master piece of work! And IMHO one of the best game done in DBasic (with Evochron, yes I'm an Elite like fan). I just have a trouble with fps when there's a lot of text (stock market), maybe it's my computer...

Really, congrats!!!

@french gui: Wow thanks for that!!

I know there's a problem with lots of text on systems using Vista (I presume you're using vista). There is a definite fix for Vista systems but sadly it will take a bit of time.
