[megakill]

Guess to many people at once.

Links to demo will appear soon on gaming sites like fileplanet, etc, etc.
Sorry for all the troubles. :(
Over 20,000 people downloaded just the Polish demo for the last couple of days. Guess the load on serves for the English demo is now much bigger.

Hooray ! Finally i get to play it ... in english :P Although to be fair i only tried the polish demo a little.

So now we'll see how the translation fares. Download in progress...

EDIT: Yeah, not too well. The humour suffers with the unnaturally phrased sentences, but at least the game seems easily moddable.

DOWNLOADING NOW AT 165 KILOBITES A SECOND, DONE IN ONE HOUR!!! YES!!!!!!!!

I want a TARDIS.

They've also got it up at fileplanet by now:

And no, you don't have to pay to download, paying just gives you extra benefits.

Well, so far I like it, but I really hope that the full version is better optimized than this. Only a couple of hours in and the combat comes to an almost standstill. There is obviously a memory drain somewhere.

I really wish there was a way to scroll on the adventure map as well. Making your hero run to the edge of the map and then seeing an enemy at the last second is not fun. I want to know where I am heading to beforehand so as to avoid certain fights.

First link was downloading at 10k/s.

Worthplaying at 420k/s.

Not too sure which one to use. :-P

Also, the Australian mirror on Worthplaying wasnt working. I had to use the US.

The .exe file is protected by Starforce, but the demo will not install Starforce drivers on your PC, so nothing to worry.

By the way, there's no link to the demo on the front page.

Boooooo Hoooooo!!! Two and half hours till I get off work and get home to my puter to start the download.....I was almost tempted to not get the demo cuz of the spoiler effect.....but I just can't resist the temptation....

Agree with this. Defo a memory drain somewhere. I have a good setup and graphics card, and even on the lowest settings, it's sloooow. Hope this gets resolved, cos it's ruining the demo so far, and it's looking like an amazing game...

BOO! How come you released the demo when I have no internet or power due to Ike!? :) The only reason I can post this is I finally got to work today where they have such marvels as power and internet.

/me goes home to pout in the dark.
