So, here’s another attempt at making this work. If you’re on Windows 7, could you download this and tell me if it works? The program will attempt to create a folder and a file in that folder in your AppData folder. It will also tell you if it succeeded or …
Could some of you who are running Windows 7 do me a favour and download this little program and run it? All it will do is create a folder and a file in that folder. If it works, I should be able to make Phenomenon 32 run on Windows 7. …
So, one little bug has been detected in the game: the Reconstruction Workshop sometimes bugs out. Nothing lethal or game-stopping: just a small, silly error that may make it impossible to complete some projects. And I’ve already determined the cause and fixed it in the code. Later today I’ll upload …
So, with the game out for less than a day, we have learned the following: The game probably doesn’t run on Windows 7. Still experimenting with this. The file hosts sometimes don’t work properly. I had to remove the FileFront download because the files were corrupted, and Filedropper seems to …
After fourteen months of hard work, an unspecified number of nervous breakdowns, and entirely too many postponements, Phenomenon 32 is ready to be released. I won’t say it’s finished, since we all know that games are never finished, only compiled – but it’s there, and you can play it. It’s …
I have gone over everything again. It seems to be working; crashes exist but are very rare, and don’t damage anything. The installer works, too. I’m still paranoid, because little changes sometimes have huge, unforseen effects, but I think it might be OK. It frustrates me more than I can …
I got up this morning feeling rather sick. Then, being paranoid after yesterday’s problems, I decided to have another look through the code to make sure the game is OK. I believe it will be released today. One thing I can say with some certainty, though, is this: I like …
OK, Verena and I figured out what was wrong. It’s the directory names. If the directory name is too long, it causes the game to crash. Install it to “Program Files\Phenomenon 32” and it crashes. “Program Files\Ph32” is fine. Probably something to do with its saving and loading of files. …
I can’t believe it. Problems. Again. This time it appears to be a problem with… well, something. The game only works if installed on the desktop. WTF? I’m working on solving the issue. The problem clearly has something to do with the creation of folders and files. It can’t be …
I’ve gotten two timeouts while trying to upload Phenomenon 32. Grrr. The horrors of uploading large files… The game is still coming out today, though, unless the frigging internet crashes.
