the soundtrack music is really nice and I also like the voices very much!
Keep up the fantastic work! You guys are truly visionaries, creating your own world for others to explore. Good job and I look forward to the next chapters.
This looks epic
Hey, I bought TJD, now when Episode #2 comes out, will I get in a free update (like Back to the Future)
If I'll have to buy it, no big deal.
Let's just hope once Episode 2 is made that you know how to count to three. :P
Dont worry. Lots of the backdrops are already painted for the complete series. The grand story are written. We are all motivated to work with The Journey Down series for a long time in to the future. We just have to put some love and time in to the development so the game turn out nice. You buy every chapter individual. I promise you, that the money you pay will go directly in to development of the next chapter in the series. If we don't get enough sales to finish the series, we will take contract work to finance the development as we already have done and are doing. Skygoblin.com
game shuts off HDMI setup on linux, so it's not possible to play it on external monitor????
moreover it ***** up my monitor setup in ubuntu.
The first chapter was short but fun. Hope the plot will deepen more in the coming chapters. You'll have to have a Desura package for chapter 2 that includes the OST for the first 2 chapters.
I love this game!
It didn't start at first (not even a window was shown), but starting it directly I saw, that I had to install libopenal1 (I am on Debian).
Installing that resolved all problems!
Buy this Game you wont regret this if you are a big fan of Point n Click Games.
Ok. This is a good game. A really good game.
Pros: good voice acting (out of sync -- particularly in cutscenes, but still...), good story, good graphics.
Cons: way too short! And really simple puzzles.
Can't wait for the sequel (a bit longer, please?) !
