Mapster, nothing to be embarrassed about

I'm happy that you're enjoying the games and that you figured it out

If anyone else is lost in the mines, first you flip the switch on the faaaar left of the tracks at the top (I think it's green?) and then there is another one on the furthest right of the tracks down at the bottom (down past the big walkable area with doors and such, I think it's not-green?). After you flip those two switches, there is another funky looking switch on the wall in the middle of the walkable area, next to a sign (which I'm sure it blue. The switch, not the sign. Okay, the sign is a grey tablet which was carved by Dwarves with special tools hundreds of years ago!) *cough* Once you flip that, it will open the door below.

Down in that area, there are three colored buttons at the end of tracks, if you simply push the minecarts (by hitting the enter/space key), it will send the minecarts down the tracks and on top of the buttons (you'll hear a neat metal-ish ca-chunk sound), then walk back up and into the upper-right corner of the room, the door to the big boss will be unlocked.

Inside that room, there is a nice little oasis which will replensish your HP/MP. You'll want to save your game before checking out that plant. Really. The boss is quite mean

I love these games. When is the next one coming out?

by **Jaybot7** » Tue Apr 13, 2010 9:27 am

Ooh... I'm afraid to speak too soon on that (especially after my hospital visit and moving to a new apartment during the development of the last one...)

But I can assure you that the next one *will* come out

Once I can see a bit more clearly how long it will take, I'll absolutely keep you updated!

As I said you are just a tease - we will wait maybe not patiently though +::lol

by **Jaybot7** » Wed Apr 14, 2010 5:50 am

Don't worry, I'm sure I can find something to entertain you while you wait

I have a few random prototypes I never released... maybe I'll blow the dust off of them :D

by **Alikamou** » Wed Apr 14, 2010 8:54 am

And we'll be waiting +::lol

for more

Downloading right now...looks so good!! What's with the teasing....you taking lessons from
the ultimate Trickster, Indy??? Whoops, be afraid, be very afraid...we Aldorleans are relentless
in our pursuit of a goal!!! +::biggrin

by **Jaybot7** » Thu Apr 15, 2010 5:51 am

Believe me, I'm not *trying* to tease anyone, it just happens naturally, I guess

I hope you enjoy the game!

Relentless? I am a bit scared now...

Jaybot, I can't stop laughing....how do you come up with all those things you say to the
wheelbarrow??????????? Just when I think I've heard everything that could possibly be said
to it, you find something unique to discuss with the darn thing!! And.....Placebook!!!!!!!
That was entirely too much for me...a few dribbles made it out before I could get to
the bathroom!! +::O_o

Yikes!! Any romantic interests ahead for the wheelbarrow?
A tiller, or maybe a lawn mower? Then they could have little baby screwdrivers and hammers!
Yikes, the world could be overcome with tools!! Now, I'm afraid, very afraid!! HEHEHEHE

I am having trouble with my screen "flickering" during the game. Does anyone else have this
going on?? Maybe it's just my computer, but any advice on how to make it stop would be
greatly appreciated!! +::Dunno

by **Jaybot7** » Fri Apr 16, 2010 11:59 am

titaness: As for the screen flickering, it seems to be a a conflict between the ATI drivers and the engine. You can try updating your graphics drivers and that *might* work.

Alternatively, there is an option if you press the F1 key (at the top of the keyboard) which has a reduce screen flickering thing, but I have no idea if that actually works on all computers. If all else fails, playing in windowed mode might be the only option :/ (There is some ridiculously complex way of doing by changing the Direct X Diag something... but... seriously, who wants to do that?)

As far as the Wheelbarrows... I've been talking with Wheelbarrows for about 5 years now, so I guess the conversations just come naturally

Wheelbarrows romantic interests are another matter entirely and far too complex to describe in a few sentences, so... I'll leave it to your imagination (which already seems to be working it pretty well)

by **titaness** » Fri Apr 16, 2010 12:08 pm

HEHEHE...yeah, My imagination gets carried away with me at times!! I already tried the F1 thing, and it didn't
help. I was thinking maybe it was because I was using a netbook and processor is slower, so went to my regular
computer to try and download it there to see if that was the problem. When I try to download it there, it says:
Checksum mismatch. Installation is corrupt or has been tampered with. Couldn't read TOC. As I'm computer
illiterate, I don't know what this means. Would it not let me download because I had already bought the game
on the netbook? +::Dunno

by **bodeia** » Fri Apr 16, 2010 12:17 pm

Sometime if you try to run the install rather than save it you get this error so when you set the download going save to your computer first then try to run the install, don't know why it does it but saving usually works.

by **titaness** » Fri Apr 16, 2010 12:40 pm

Thanks bodeia...will try that. Also, I think I had some firewall up I wasn't aware of...haven't use this computer
for a while...so will remove that and try +::Thumbup

again!!

by **titaness** » Fri Apr 16, 2010 2:09 pm

Well, it appears the netbook's slow processor was the problem. I don't get the flickering on my regular laptop!!
That's a bummer as I bought it specifically to have a more "portable" means to " take my games with me"!!
HEHEHE. Oh well...live and learn!! Thanks guys!!
