Title: Wills and Wonders
Post by: adehm on March 24, 2015, 01:59:23 pm
A game similar to brigandine and I think would be of interest to members in this community.

The craftsmanship looks quite impressive. It highlights why I often like small studio games better than big titles; they have more character. Is this the first game from your company/group?

Where did the quote on the Enchanter class picture come from? I like it.

Thank you for the kind words. This is the first title from On The Wall Entertainment. All the classes have ancient proverbs associated with them , trying to stay as true as possible to actual mythology.

 “The flesh endures the storms of the present alone, the mind those of the past and future as well as the present”
Epicurus(Greek philosopher, BC 341-270)

The Minotaur. This raging beast has a slight advantage over melee units with a basic attack range of 2 spaces and the Charge ability propelling it forward, damaging and knocking back up to three units with a 25% chance to stun. The Minotaur also has the rage trait, increasing it's size and attack when damaged; an intimidating opponent.

The art for the Draugr is in and it is scary. The Draugr is one of the upgrades from the Revenant and gains quite a bit of perks. First off it gains another movement point. Secondly it has the Phantom trait letting it ignore terrain penalties and walk through enemies. Thirdly it gains the Fierce trait giving it a 25% chance to score a critical attack. It also has Rage increasing it's size and attack as it's health is reduced.

In the process of adding the first God battle. Succeed in completing the quest Jester's Court to unlock Loki. The trickster tries to keep you in the dark during this multi stage battle. Between the darkness and stealth units you may find your fate.

I'm really enjoying this news and updates.

This game has random rare monsters to see in battlefield or buying in shop?

Let's say for example in brigandine that you enter in the summon screen to "buy" some monsters and in you see a Fafnir with great status for sell.
This is totaly random and very rare. I guess it's fun.

Wills and Wonders 5.4a DEMO (http://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3h0NrlApMzwWENQZEtTbXR6UUU/view?usp=sharing)

This game has been tested on personal computers, laptops, and touchscreens using a Windows operating system. Other systems have not been tested and have not been officially supported at this time.
We have found sound issues with the K-Lite codec package and have had issues with windowed mode on Windows 10.

Thanks for sharing the Demo Adehm


I tried to run and the game installed fine. But when I try run it, it freeze in this screen forever.
 
I tried both windowed e full screen. I don't have my notebook with me, but I can test in 10 days on it.

My pc =
Win 8.1 pro 64 bits
I5 4690  cpu 3.50 ghz
4 gb ram
I don't have any graphic card ( I use the intel hd graphics and can run most games, except newer ones)

Must be some other problem

Ah, I tried run like Adm and in windows compatibilty mode too in 7 and xp.

Sorry to hear that. The game does require DirectX 8.0 or above... I should have made a note of that but we didn't bother going over all the minimum requirements yet.
Does your onboard graphics card not support directx or do you not have directx installed?

It looks like it does support it and if you got that far then it must not be a graphics issue. Very confused. So you got to the title screen and there is the click anywhere to continue flashing at the bottom and all the credits on the left side of the screen? Then the next screen nothing but that grey background? Is the game still responsive? When you hit escape do you get a menu?
Title: Re: Wills and Wonders
Post by: duredure on March 29, 2016, 06:03:58 pm
Hello  :biggrin:

I have direct x 11 installed. My onboard support direct x.

what happen everytime I try run the game:
1- I click on the waw icon and the game starts
2- first screen is On The Wall Entertainment ( I wait and click)
3- second screen open and there's nothing asking me to click, only the portrait of the giant without any letters. I click and the grey background appears and only the music still playing.
4- Even if I hit escape or alt + f4 the game won't close.
I can close the game only this way: alt + tab and  then click again in the waw icon. my windows ask permission to open the .exe and I choose no. This way the game close.

Strange stuff XD




Title: Re: Wills and Wonders
Post by: adehm on March 29, 2016, 07:20:23 pm
Okay so there is no launcher window asking screen resolution that you have to use first?

If you go to \Wills and Wonders\Install.txt and change the first
number to -1 so you will be prompted with launcher. Example:  -1/800x600/
Then select fullscreen to see if this fixes your apparent display issue. You may need
administrator permission when editing this file. Let me know how it went.

I attached the intended order of screens. No need to click the logo it will go as soon as it
is finished buffering that part of the game.

Launcher,Logo/buffering,titlescreen/buffering, title screen...

Hello


Sorry my later reply
My old notebook died and I bought a new one in this days.
So I tested and happened the very same problem above using the desktop pc.




The launcher window shows and I tried windowed or full screen and tried all resolutions too.
the install.exe is already -1/800x600

the tittlescreen don't show any letters  "on the wall presents....created by Adam...
I tried letting the tittlescreen alone for 10 minutes before I click and bring me to grey background.

Don't bother bro, I'll try in some days with my notebook and I 'll posting the results.

Thanks

Never seen this issue before. It’s as if it is calculating where to draw
incorrectly leaving you with only the 0,0 renderings that display
because there is no number to multiple and hence they stay where
they are.

Really sorry about that but thanks for finding it  :doh:

Yeah, let me know how it goes on your other build.

Sorry about that but I haven't been able to reproduce it; tested on windows XP, 7, 8, and 10. What appears to be happening is that somehow the way I calculate the resolution just plain doesn't work for you which could make sense to me in full screen; but is an exact calculation when in a windowed mode of your choosing so it is very perplexing. You can send me your dxdiag and I can try to get to the bottom of it.
