Okie so yours is complete? just one file, no need the base and update right? if so i delete mine, download yours and share it then...thanx
Yep, I just made my torrent from the full game after applying the patch. Still can't get the magnet link to be an actual clickable link though, the BB Code doesn't seem to like links that start with "magnet://", it keeps dropping the ":" when you try to click it.

Actually... I could try to answer this, but in doing so would reveal things that aren't meant to be revealed just yet... and well, honestly... you are confusing the difference between IC and OOC information... just because you may know things, doesn't mean your MC knows...
cool. I trust you.
In the mean time I'll just suspend my confusion about the normal/taboo spectrum

Slighty off topic but i was finally able to point out what universe your work reminds me.
In the mid 70's we had here a magazine named Metal Hurlant, which became in Usa heavy metal, two of my gods worked there : Moebius and Philippe Druillet.
And you belong of this kind of universe.

In a modern Vision!! Of course.....

EDIT: None of the symbols in the second picture is revelant, it was not AT ALL, this kind of ideas or political thing....was just art and there was surely a good reason beyond it

I was and am a BIG fan of Heavy Metal and Moebius (I was so in love with Taarna!!!!)... so I guess it wouldn't be hard to believe that some of that rubbed off on me.

In fact, one of the popular cover artists of Heavy Metal is a friend of mine (Dorian Cleavenger) did the cover of my novel "Ebon Knights: Knight's Fall" which @Palanto Games has read... and another artist from Heavy Metal (Luis Royo), with whom I have worked with, will be doing a cover for one of my other novels if I ever finish it... so, yeah, you could say I owe a lot to that magazine. ;)

I'd consider WebP if they had an encoder that worked within Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, I have over 2000 images to my game already, and doing an online encoding system would be a grievous pain in the ass for me and as @Palanto Games stated, the reduction only cuts it down around to around 500mb... no matter what I do, right now, this game, when completed, is going to be monstrous by completion... which is why we are trying to go the route of updated patches that will remain between 300mb to 700mb.
I'm just trying to help you with some additional information about webp:

For one, you don't need an online encoder for webp.

There's a webp plugin for Photoshop (I've never used it and I haven't used Photoshop for more than a decade, so I don't know how well it works), GIMP and some other tools:


And there's a little image viewer named IrfanView that also has a very user friendly batch conversion functionality built in and supports webp (and a myriad of other media formats). It's quite comfy to use for png -> webp conversion in bulk. You'll need both - Irfanview program and its plugins.

I'm not sure if you qualify as a non-commercial user, though. :rolleyes:

XnConvert is probably at least as good and free of any restrictions, I've just never used it.

(XnView is their image viewer that isn't free for commercial users: )

And you can reduce the size a lot more in webp lossy mode. You'd just have to experiment with the level of quality, so that the visible loss in quality would be as minimal as possible and acceptable to you.

But I do understand that you don't want to lose anything in quality and whatever you decide is totally fine with me. I don't have any capacity limits on my download and I don't mind downloading gigabytes of your game. :biggrin:

Sorry, I've used GIMP webp plugin in Kubuntu Linux (gimp-webp is the name of the package) - that one is actually working and has more functionality than the ancient Windows version on registry.gimp.org



I know that has a native webp support built in, but I have no idea at the moment about a better plugin for the stable v2.8 Windows version.

They might have different job descriptions and rules in the place he works and with his employer though.

Now I might be mistaken, but I suspect it is called hell for a reason.o_O

Thank you my friend!!
I'm blind!!! I'm blind!!!! Oh god if it weren't for those three beautiful breasts in that image I'd probably never see the light of day again!
Why were you looking at the wrong picture in the first place Palanto? If you have the choice to look at a hot blonde with a BDSM fetish streak or that monster on your right, you should control your sight a bit better. :biggrin:
