Voodoo Girl:  Queen of the Darned
« on: March 04, 2002, 08:52:30 PM »
I now have a full beta version of Voodoo Girl: Queen of the Darned.  I'll post again when I have my web space back up.
Anyone interested in a copy before then can e-mail me a request.

Hands up anybody who's requested Voodoo Girl from Andrew?  You should give the game a go now, the graphics are good and he's got some interesting ideas in there.  There's no website for the game yet, but his email is still valid.  If he doesn't get any comments he may give up completely.

Well from what I have seen so far your game looks pretty good. I am into voodoo and stuff like that.

I don't mind.  He asked, I gave permission.  

That's not the point anyway.. try the game!! :)

Yeah, AGISCI, I so completely loath writing web pages (I used to code html on paper first, errrrg), that I flat out asked Nick if I could just steal his layout and change all the pictures and text.  That was messy, too, and I almost accidentally attributed the site to Nick.  All those other links and stuff will actually point to something in the near future, but for right now...

Yeah, Nick, a friend of mine was kind enough to fix some errors that made it impossible to download my game zip.  Even the zip packet itself is inappropriate, because it includes the template.com, which I don't know whether it's a hacked version of AGI or the original with a different name.  I've been meaning to ask about the legality and ethics of packaging my games with NAGI (with which I seem to have the least amount of trouble), but I could just be a mensch and link to your page.

Finally, this demo is in a much earlier dev phase than I had hoped, but I made it a personal goal to have my site up with a demo posted by the end of the weekend.  I spent a couple ten hour sessions plugged into my computer to get everything done, but I still have tons of bugs I never intended.  I mean, heck, all the new graphics are there, but there aren't any puzzles this time around....   errrrrggg!  I'd like to thank the Academy....   so, so tired....

I think perhaps you should have both demos (the one you were emailing and the current one) to give people an idea of how the game has progressed and at least give them some puzzles to work with..

I'm not sure about the legality either.. but I've got the sierra intepreters packaged on my site.  NAGI is actually a reverse-engineered sierra interpeter.. so I dunno if this makes it less or more legal. :)

But you're welcome to page NAGI along with your game.  I know the V demo does.

I updated my page.  The old VG:QOD demo is up, as is an update to the version 1.2 demo.

The site itself still looks like a diseased monkey's cranny (Why won't my pictures work?  AAAAAAARGH...  don't worry, I'll fix everything soon.).

So, anyway, the new version 1.2 is the version I originally intended to release, but couldn't meet my deadlines.

Try using CuteFTP (get a patch so it lasts more than 30 days) or an ftp client that lets you change the permissions of files and make sure that the graphics files have permissions to read for all user groups.

That's the problem I've got with my provider at the moment, I have to manually twiddle the permissions.. it's fortunate they've got a script to help with that.

I've just made a significant update to Voodoo Girl:  Queen of the Darned Demo v. 1.2.  Anyone who downloaded a broken copy should try this one instead.  I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but some bugs weren't detected until after the game was posted.  I blame the tiny men that live in my colon.

I heard on the chat about voodoo girl 2 is working.

Did voodoo girl 1 is finished yet or just a demo?
