A Valley Without Wind 1 & 2 / [RESOLVED] Crash - Black Screen

« on: April 22, 2012, 12:52:12 PM »

Hi,

I had AVWW version 0.902 or so I believe, it's been a while since I updated really, and today, seeing that the game comes neer to 1.0 I just did the update, the game found one update and after the short (which was weird to me) update, the game only show a black screen, you can see the menu and hear the music but everything else is black.

Also, after uninstalling and re-installing (coming back to version .5) and doing the one update the game find find, the same happens

Any help ?

Off Topic / Diggers, a game forgotten ?

« on: March 14, 2012, 02:18:14 PM »

Hi all,

Just wanted to ask if anybody remember that wonderful game that was diggers ? And it's successor diggers extractors ?

That game was really a jewel and nobody ever made a game that was half as good as diggers
Sadly, everybody forgot it ! On www.mashu.org someone is trying to remake the first one but since it's not the only thing he does, the project hardly ever move forward

I wished some developers would take the concept again and develop it ! With different races maybe and as a strategy game with 2 teams (which are already there in the original ) and the goal would be to destroy the enemy base... A spell system with rpg elements could also work very well for this type of game ... Sadly we never saw anything like that... There was an attempt to create diggles but even that game with its old 3d was badly optimized and not too enjoyable in its mechanics... I don't know, the idea of digging a mine and building elevators and ladders etc... It's just a fantastic idea ! Many game tried like motherload but they were so far from the original concept of diggers that Xbox game though seemed amazing but I don't have a Xbox :/

Anyway, anybody knows if there games like that around ?

I really wish some developers would take back this old and very fun concept and would remake it

Arcen ? Anyone ? Lol
Ya, no, I know, not going to happen !

A Valley Without Wind 1 & 2 / Help :(

« on: February 07, 2012, 08:53:35 AM »

Hi all,

I was wondering if anybody could help me and give me some tips about playing the game ?

I was fine until the tier update came, now I'm lost :/ I don't understand how to reach the settlement building screen anymore or actually anything at all I took a look at the update change log but didn't help me much !

Those blue "potions" that gives points towards "new enchantments" intrigues me a lot too !? I keep getting them and I don't feel like its doing anything ?

I love the changes but I'm totally lost ! I feel like I don't know how to play the game anymore I was waiting for an update of the starting guide but since the game constantly change, It would be the hell of a job to change it for each important updates.

Anyway, Im really happy to see how the game is coming, the devs are awesome with all their ideas and the speed at which they release them just wished the dungeon map was easier to use / read because I still feel lost with it, I just don't have any idea for a better dungeon map yet :/ but if I do, I'll post it for sure

A Valley Without Wind 1 & 2 / Limited Earth Magic ?

« on: January 16, 2012, 09:23:40 PM »

Hi all,

I love this game however in every game where you can use earth magic, it is always limited and so it is in this one too sadly

The main idea is to reinforce earth magic to make it feel like you really control earth and have fun with this element and not limit it
to projectile and armor...

Those spells could be created on other elements too but earth would be the best.

Spells that are missing and that should be included should be
-Golems (any elements or elementals)
-Earth Wall / flame wall ... A combinaison ? (on one or both side of the character) it would be a defensive spell with limited time / hp
-earth spikes (on one or both side of the character) : spikes rise from earth damaging ennemies bellow them.
-earth floor (creating a temporary floor that would work like a wood platform)
-earth grasp : a hand come out of the ground and trap the targeted enneny (closer) to forbid him to move

Just give ideas of what kind of earth spells you would like to see and maybe the devs will listen and succeed to implement them...

Also, I was thinking about more transformation spells for the character like werewolf, golem, adding defensive arms or adding a scorpion tail (like castlevania) adding winds...

Just some ideas, I know how ideas go in games but I wanted to give mine still =)
