@ori I didn't know that! Thanks!
Another reminder that I'm changing my Mastodon instance: you can now find me at @atmcashpoint on http://mastodon.social !

Heads up, everybody: I'm migrating my Mastodon instance to @atmcashpoint on https://mastodon.social.

The instance I've been using was just down for several days, and I suspect it would be a good idea to move to a more stable instance.

Boosts appreciated!

My unused animation for Night of the Meteor.

There's still a game in the works called Night of the Meteor.

It's a remake of Maniac Mansion in the art style of Day of the Tentacle.

The original lead artists from Day of the Tentacle are Larry Ahern (characters and animation) and Peter Chan (backgrounds).

@aaronsgiles Yes, it's verified successfully.
@aaronsgiles Sorry! It's demo v0.16D. The LFD subfolder is present in the DREAMM install folder, but it isn't getting used for some reason. Maybe that's the reason for the game crashing with the ESC and F1 keys also.

@aaronsgiles Found a bug in 2.1b17: the Dark Forces demo skips directly to the gameplay for some reason. The version I have should have some intro cutscenes (including one that's not in the published game), plus a briefing screen with your objectives first. I know DREAMM copied the cutscenes to the install folder, at least.

Also, hitting the ESC key for the in-game options menu or F1 for Kyle's PDA quit to the DREAMM launcher instead of bringing up what they're supposed to.

DREAMM 2.1b17 is now up:

https://aarongiles.com/dreamm/beta

New in 2.1b17

  • Single-file installers/upgraders must now match internal CRC exactly
  • Normalized bilinear filter code across SSE/NEON
  • Fix Dark Forces demo versions "out of memory" errors
  • Fix joystick detection/reporting in Windows; should fix weird Grim Fandango menu behavior

Trying out #BaldursGate3. Have to say, I didn't expect the main player character's nighttime camp clothes to be a Kyle Katarn cosplay. #baldursgate #darkforces #jediknight #lucasarts #starwars #larian #larianstudios :D
