You, are the Child of Hope.

So, Zenith, how long is this game?

I never bought your first game because of the mere 5+ hour play time and the price even though it was well-reviewed by players. It also seems this may be an extension of that game.

Hi, Kimo. I'd say it's about the same lenght as my first game, though the 5 hours is only if you're a fast player indeed.

Unable to find file: Graphics/Pictures/Protagonists-1

Hi, when exactly do you get that message?

Same here with the unable to find file:
Graphics/Protanginist-1 going west in first area up 1

I already know what it is, I'm uploading a fixed build right now.

still there ......... Shadow Woods west. Protagonists-1

I haven't uploaded the fix yet, although it's a matter of minutes now.

And now both the demo and full game have been uploaded!

Thanks Indy! And thanks for those who reported it!

Thanks for the info. I just have a real hard time spending $40 (plus $6.99 guides) for what seems like maybe 15-20 hours of game time. It's just a form of inflation I choose to not support. I happily pay $30 (plus guide cost) for an Indy game, but those games can easily be 30+ hours and are virtually glitch-free.

Please consider the price point of future games you develop. Just sayin'. It's not about the money ... it's about the psychology of economics.

I'll give it a go on the full game. I do agree with Kimo a little bit and it seems no secret rooms or items other than chests which does make the game a little boring. But I go for story line. So far from the demo no typos that's a good thing, monsters are kind of common type; the skills are meh for the beginning. I'm hoping with the purchased game they get better. And no armor shop in base camp?! Yeah, you find stuff but finding stuff should be close to legendary or a big upgrade from the norm eventually. I don't expect to find legendary in beginning of game but a few odd placed rumors among townspeople of lost armors/weapons/etc. would be a nice touch. I hope I'm not sounding harsh just trying to be honest. I do want to support our future game makers but I hope they will listen to the people who help support them. Yeah, I know it's more time consuming...breaks the pattern of a set formula but in the long run creates something of Epic proportions to make your name remembered.

I do appreciate your and any feedback and I always consider it for my future games. Child of Hope has more side-content than Cradle of Souls, my previous game, for example. It has sidequests, optional dungeons, dungeons and bosses you find by exploring only and it also has a sidequest that requires a complete run and watchful eye to complete. But yes, keep the feedback coming, I'm always implementing them to keep improving my games and making them more satisfying for you players.

Ok, I just got the airship and was still exploring around on foot and went to south Sorrowwood? Anyway, turned around to leave and am not able to leave from where I came in. Tried several times I don't know if it's a glitch or something's missing? I can just go to the previous save which is 1 and a 1/2 hrs back but I don't mind. But I thought you should know.
