MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: Dec. 22 2002, 20:47 ive often wondered whta MVR would sound like with TSODE music. I even thought of changing the tunes to TSODE tunes (ive changed them before). really good idea though, maria! good imagination.....i like the idea of linking it with the original MVR world that way. -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

SHINE Group: Members Posts: 138 Joined: April 2003 Posted: June 06 2003, 19:07 Yes ,I've been waiting so long...            But now...I'm a little affraid:                        Been at MO's web site and seen the pictures of the game; and it's probably me,but in some of them I see a kind of...darkness?                        And it's also true that if you still know the game's music,it looses a little bit of its interest...                        And there's also the first game: will Tube World be as good as MVR? ( is it possible? )                        Rendez-vous on Tuesday Back to top

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: June 07 2003, 08:02 Didn't Mike say in that recent interview that there was aditional new music in the Tube World? He did say that the game handles differently, there's less emphasis on problem solving and less freedom to move around, I reckon you may be tethered more to avitars on this one. Personaly I'd like to see a bit more darkness if it means a bit more atmosphere and mystery. TresLunas was just slightly to sunny and bright and a bit to new-agey for my tastes. Back to top

SHINE Group: Members Posts: 138 Joined: April 2003 Posted: June 07 2003, 17:39 Well, I'm happy to learn that there will be new music on Tube World !             But that makes me think about people who don't like pc games or people that just don't have PC. What a pity!They won't be able to listen to the new tracks...              And about darkness,I should have better used another word to explain what I meant to say,but I can't find it.             When visiting the web site and looking at the game's pictures ,I got "grey feelings" from two of them. When I said  "darkness", I didn't want to mean "lack of light" or mistery.I wanted to talk about sadness,pain..."grey things".             Anyway,I have been in MO's website again today, and the grey feelings about the pix didn't bother me anymore...             Mad SHINE !!   Only one day left...

If there are many new tracks, I'll make another MVR cd. -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

maria Group: Members Posts: 928 Joined: July 2002 Posted: June 09 2003, 16:45 yep... the link doesn't work. i've tried just some minutes ago. it seems there has been some problem and they are working to repair it. -------------- ...morning and evening i'm flying, i'm dreaming... Back to top

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: June 09 2003, 18:30 Looks like thats it for tonight, hopefully the demo will be on the go tomorrow. I've put a question in one of the forums at MO.com asking what size graphics card they recomend for the Tube World, I still don't know if it'll work on my computer although I do have a 32mb card and MVR worked well.

timshen Group: Members Posts: 684 Joined: Mar. 2001 Posted: June 09 2003, 21:36 Yeah, the link is not working. Do they know this? Who to contact? -------------- Expect Great Things. Attempt Great Things. Back to top

timshen Group: Members Posts: 684 Joined: Mar. 2001 Posted: June 10 2003, 00:28 I'm downloading the Tube World right now!!! I just sent an e-mail to F.Oldfield (Fanny I guess, who designs the site) and about 30 mins later the link is working. It's 25.48Mb and i've only downloaded about 5% so far with my antique 56k modem   Will let you know what I think when I get to play it. -------------- Expect Great Things. Attempt Great Things.

a_r_schulz Group: Members Posts: 425 Joined: Sep. 2001 Posted: June 10 2003, 03:08 GOT IT! Well... from first glance, nothing much happening there at the moment a castle, a few black 'trees', a row of 'gates' and a chess knight avatar. IMHO, the flight control is a little to sensitive - hard to stand still. MusicVR.exe is now V1.2 - I'll try if it works with TresLunas.dat tonight. Chat window looks promising, though the letters are quite small at 1024x768. No music found (yet?), except for chimes when bouncing the borders. Back to top

a_r_schulz Group: Members Posts: 425 Joined: Sep. 2001 Posted: June 10 2003, 03:17 Doh! - just saw timshen's post after sending mine - Well, as I said - at first glance...guess that' what I deserve for my attempt to beat him with the first posting Should have taken some more time, but my wife is pushing me to go to work now - though I also had some idea about the clock at the gate... BTW.: tubeworld_demo.exe crashed with treslunas.dat after loading (after I renamed it to tubeworld_demo.dat), but it left an interesting log file... Back to top
