    Good luck in the competition,

    I wish I would have more time to play this game!

    P.S. One thing - when I choose "yes" in version without sound, it kind of paralyses the script.

    Hi Petr,
    Thanks. I had not tried the no-sound version. I have done just now and I can report I had same problem too. I've informed the author and I'm also checking as to possible cause... The full version WITH sounds is OK though.

    Best wishes,
    catventure.

    Hey there. This is the author of Realm of Obsidian. I had no idea you made a post about my game here, Catventure! (Oh, the wonders of Google...)

    Now I see where the consternation over the "no sound" version came from. My simple answer is this: To enable dial-up users to be able to download my game for judging in the Spring Thing Competition, I merely made a second zip file without the sound files used in the game. This is not a true soundless version, as it still asks you if you want sound or not, and you still have to tell it no. It just makes it easier for those who can't download a 16+ MB game. I plan on releasing a true soundless version on my wordpress site/blog (as well as on the Interactive Fiction Archive), when the comp is finished at the end of the month. I'm still improving a few things with general gameplay as well.

    I want to thank you, Petr and Kent, for your interest in the game. And a big THANK YOU to Catventure for providing the ThinBASIC Adventure Builder. This is Realm of Obsidian at it's best. That said, I'd be happy to get second place. Jim Aiken's entry in the comp has gotten some favorable reviews already.

    Thanks again!

    Ciao Amy and welcome to thinBasic community forum.

    As you may know, this is the place where we support thinBasic programming language.
    thinBasic is the programming language Catventure has decided to use to develop TAB application and we are very very happy about that. So far TAB is the biggest (in terms of number of lines) application developed with thinBasic.

    Even if this place is not dedicated to IF, I'm sure you will find it a nice place where to discuss and test your creations.
    Good luck for the competition.

    Ciao
    Eros

    Hi Amy,

    the game is interesting, I downloaded the full version with sounds.
    Maybe idea for Catventure, to allow producing "no media" package safely.
