Is Groupees version the full game, or the "BFG Act I"?

Hello,

I just noticed that the groupees retro bundle download is called "Sylia-ActI-GROUPEES". Googling pulled up this thead: viewtopic.php?f=207&t=6965&start=465 which showed that there was also a Sylia Act I on BFG and it was only half of the full game available on Aldorlea.org.

So my question is, is the Sylia version in the groupees retro bundle the full game, or is it the same Act I from BFG? The download size is the same 99MB between groupees and aldorlea.org, so hopefully it's the same game and just the filename is confusing me.

Thank you,
kalirion

It's the same game as the one on BFG. There are 2 Acts in total (as specified on the title screen). Act I is a refined version of the original and is usually marketed as Sylia - Act I to mark the difference. Here is a review about it:

Act II should be out soon now on BFG. Hope this helps!

So does this mean purchasers of the Groupees bundle will not get Act II? Then it really should me mentioned in the bundle.

I believe it would be better to use "Sylia - Act I" instead of "Sylia", as it is the exact name.

Ok, thank you.

Just to be clear, is the version purchased here: http://www.aldorlea.org/sylia.php both Acts, or also Act I?

The version in your link is the original game so Act I + II.
Act I is more polished and refined though.

Ok, thank you for the info!

Also, Groupees have now updated the bonus game title to "Sylia - Act I" :)

So, when can we expect Sylia Act II to be released on BFG?

When BFG wants to release it.
It's been more than one year that they've had it.
