nec,reupload please(dont want register in 4shared)

nec · Post by **nec** » Thu Feb 16, 2012 5:38 pm

That's weird you should be able to get access without having to log, I will write to 4Shared to know more about this issue.

nec · Post by **nec** » Fri Feb 17, 2012 12:59 pm

Ok I know why you have the popup appearing, it seems that 4Shared limit to 500Mb of download for unregistered users, after what users have to get a free account. I will try to find a better solution.

The problem should be solved
I took a premium account, your download should be comfortable now, whatever your country.

nec · Post by **nec** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 4:36 pm

I just realized that the premium account still not allows unregistered people to download my file without having to register, either the guy at 4Shared lied to me or there is something I missed. I will investigate this.

Edit : I seems it was a wrong manipulation, can someone confirm me the file is accessible directly from the big button here.

@nec: Confirmed.

Great work BTW!

thank you, I hope everyone will have a good download rate now and no registration panel, whatever your country.

This is awesome!
Will you make it available for other platforms? (iOS)

nec · Post by **nec** » Mon Feb 20, 2012 1:59 pm

The editor will only be available on windows as it is made with WPF but the runtime can be ported on other platform (and this is what's important).
I only support windows version for now because I still have many ideas to implement and I can't spend time on maintaining many versions right now.
However I provide a source version which can allows companies to make their own port if they want. I have made a system abstraction layer which should simplify the work.

As nec said: the runtime is platform independent so it will run on iOS.
Imagine situation with PS3 games: they are made on PC - in editors running on Windows and only the games run on PS3.

So you do not need to have iOS editors to create game

There is major bug in version 2012-02-15 which possibly crash the editor during save if you did not create any activation group.
To fix the problem read this post

Hey Nec,

It's really great to see the ongoing development of Alienmotion.

I wrote my own animation system for my game, and I can attest to the fact that it is a very complex task. Had alien motion been available back when I started, I would have dug into it big time.

The project looks great, and good call with the licensing options. I'm a big supporter of solid middleware like this for Ogre.

Thank Jabberwocky,

Did you made a tool to manage your animations ?
If you already made a system to drive animations then I think you should take a little time to see the demo project in AM I think you will love the way the animation are driven.
Btw, If you want to test an unlimited version of AM for a Salvation Prophety 2 let me know, I'm used to provide temporary full licenses in order to let people decide if AM suits their needs.

Nothing visual. It's all XML data driven.

Yeah, I may look into alienmotion if I make another Ogre-based game. That will largely depend on whether I make or lose money from Salvation Prophecy. Thanks for the offer!

Do you plan to sell SP on steam ?

Post by **Jabberwocky** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 6:50 pm

That's the plan.
If steam doesn't accept the game, I might look into a mid-sized publisher instead. I'd likely contact publishers like Paradox Interactive and Iceberg Interactive.

There is also http://www.gamefly.com previously Direct2Drive.

Post by **Jabberwocky** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 10:27 pm

You're right, Steam ain't the only game in town. Just the biggest, by far.
It is an option to just release on the other digital distribution sites. Some indies have done this, and then been picked up by Steam if the game sold well.
