Mage's Initiation Forum / Can't run the demo
July 05, 2013, 01:39:14 AM
When I try to load the demo, I just get a black screen. I can hear noises, and if I try to Alt-Tab out, my computer stops communicating with my monitor completely. Anyone know how to fix this?

The demo installed with no issues.

My very first thought is "This is an alpha?" I mean, the kickstarter isn't even over, but the graphics are sharp, the controls are responsive. I'm working on a side project of my own, so I appreciate the amount of effort that can go into getting even a simple point and click interface to run smoothly.

I tried out some of the various control methods, but I like the old Sierra style best. I'm probably just so used to it.

My only real suggestions come from when you tell D'arc to interact with something on the other side of the room (say, a door). First of all, he walks, even if you double-click.
More importantly, though, is that you lose all control until he does the action. I'd like to be able to click, or right-click, or something to cancel the action if D'arc is still walking. That way, if I notice something I overlooked as I'm leaving the room, I can stop and check it out.

Combat was pretty good. I spent a lot of my time running around the bush waiting for my mana to regenerate, but I suspect that might have been just poor management on my part. If I was using a character build I had customized myself, or even just had more time to get used to, it probably would be okay. I'll probably play through the combat again to get a better opinion on it.

Looking forward to this game.
