The Blacksmith's Apprentice - Version 1.5 released

[Juno]

when will the next demo be up ?

Once I stop obsessively checking these forums, I'll be able to get more work done.   I'm hoping to post an *update* soon (improvements, mostly), but I'm assuming you mean when will the next big section come out... And that I don't know.  My work has been split between making improvements on the existing stuff, and making new content.  I'm sure I'll post the next "book" right after interest in this game has all but died out. :dead:

@Ophiuchus:  Thanks for the mini-review, really made my day!  I appreciate the feedback, I'm going to add your suggestions to my ever-expanding list of things to do.  I'm glad you enjoyed it so far.

Thanks for the heads up. Apparently, filefront just deletes uploaded files after a while. Did not know that.

So, it's going to be a while, because the current version of the game is right in the middle of development. If someone who's downloaded it has a recent copy, I'd be greatly appreciative. Otherwise, a link won't be available until I can finish up the next section.

It's been a while since I've looked at this thread. How's the game going? Got any more gameplay added to the game? The point I ended at when i played a long while ago was when he awakes and it's all snowy. Haha. Any more post that at all?

Soon, actually, I'll be posting version "1.5". It won't have a ton of new material, but it will have some major changes and improvements. More details when it's ready, hopefully in a couple of days.

Version 1.5 has been released! The main post has a download link, and a summary of changes from the original version.

i went to the download link and im sorry, but i dont understand why it wont let me download your game.

[Fustel]

Errr.... is it FileFactory or me???
It seems I can't download without registating....

 

[HarryE]

I've downloaded it but I won't be able to play it for another few days... But I'm looking forward to it. :D

 

[Juno]

If you scroll down the page, you'll see a link for "Download with File Factory Basic". That will allow you to download it.

Just to let you know Juno, I'm re-playing this too. Very very good work, I'll say. Loving the new puzzle elements, too. :D

EDIT: Gah. Just come across a game-ending glitch. It's in Willow Glen during the winter. I've delivered the bag of food to the woman, then I return to Martha, and she just says "Thankyou for offering to take the food, Arthur." I can't progress...

Pay attention to the wind... when it picks it (which you can tell by the "shwoosh" sound and the fog moving faster) the bendy trees will throw you farther or closer, depending on which direction you are jumping.

@BrunoTR: Sorry man, I'll work that bug out as soon as I can. I appreciate you playing through it again, I'd love to hear your ideas on what I could do to make the game better.

Okay, the fixed version is up, and available for download from the main post.

 

[Zwark0]

the v1.5 download cuts out at about 65%,I suspect it's something to do with the host, maybe it's just me.

Mediafire always seems to work if you need alternatives.

I know others have been able to download it from filefactory without problems... I actually prefer mediafire, it's what I used to use, but it doesn't support files larger than 100MB (for free).

EDIT: I just downloaded it myself with no problems, though it did take awhile. I wonder if maybe your internet connection is timing out or something.

 

[HarryE]

When I tried it wouldn't give me a port to download from. Anyway, I won't be able to download til next month. Download limit...

 

[Zwark0]

I tried the alternative link, and got the same result. Must be something to do with my internet. Is there anyway you could split it into two smaller files?

thanks for the help, looking forward to playing it.

There's a monthly download limit? Can anyone recommend a good file upload service that holds files larger than 100MB, for free? I've tried a bunch now.

EDIT2: Okay, I've split the game into two files: The primary game download, and the Audio files. Both links are available from the main post. Once you've downloaded the audio files, you won't need to re-download them for any updates to the game(unless I add more music, of course). Instructions for unpacking the files is in the "Notes" section.

 

[Zwark0]

Thanks for splitting the files, downloading smoothly now



EDIT: both the links are the same?
