That "mock up" is from star fox. Just pointing it out for posterity, I don't think that takes away from the awesomeness of this particular entry.

Got sound working! Composing some music with Reaper and some VST plugins now. The maze algorithm I made was creating sealed-off areas. I have fixed that. There are still multiple paths between points, but this is intentional. Most importantly, I finally got wall collisions working correctly. (Having all the walls intersect at multiples of 60 degrees really throws a wrench into the works!) Oh, and now there's Vector Text! (Here's a test.)  |

Ok, I've got a demo version up: http://www.radiopoultry.com/projects/triagulon/TriagulonDemo.0.1.zipThing is, I've only tested it out on my own computer. I don't think it needs any DLLs to be included with it, but I can't say for certain. I'm not too experienced in the area of releasing software. So, anyhow, even the simplest comments as to whether or not it runs would be very welcome, thanks! EDIT: By the way, there's no real gameplay in this demo. A,W,S,D or arrow keys lets you walk about. The mouse lets you look around. ESC exits the game. |

That's great, thanks! I plan to having shooting of a sort. I have a particular idea in mind, but I still have to see how it works out. |

Works well on my Vista install. I really liked the feeling of scope I got when one of my starting positions was at a much higher point than the rest of the map, looking down on a good chunk of the maze ahead with the face in the center.  |

Hmm. Ok, I'm working on some possible compatibility issues for my next build. By the way, do you know what version of DirectX you have? (You can run "dxdiag" if you want to check.) The game needs DirectX 9 or 10, but I'm not sure if the oldest versions of 9 will work. (I think 9.0c is the newest version.) |

wow that is GREAT! i love the atmosphere, the tune works well in giving that sence of forboding that the Giant Floting Head invokes so well., has shades of the Sentinal, . will there be more, gameplay wise?
oh,. can you not compress the wave file ? 4 mb for a 40 sec. loop is a bit much,. as nice as it does sounds. nice work though.

I can't used compressed WAVs with what I'm currently using, unfortunately. Thanks for your comments! I just realized that I put in an older version of the music with the current demo. The newer music is longer, but the file size is about the same (it's no longer in stereo, but is recorded at a higher quality). As for gameplay... there will actually be some, yes. I'll try to post a new version of the demo sometime today. |

New demo up: http://www.radiopoultry.com/projects/triagulon/TriagulonDemo.0.2.zipForget what I said about the music earlier. Turns out I had just included an old version of the music in game unnecessarily, but it was using the newer version of the music. *slaps forehead* Wanted to work on it some more today, but work interferes, alas. It's going to be a real challenge to make a finished game by the deadline. I'll get back at it when I return home in a few hours. |

I love the aesthetic. Though I didn't see any dactils.  Mazes are awesome. |

Yeah, there's no enemies yet. Working on that next. Glad to see other maze-lovers here Doesn't look like I'll have a finished game by the deadline, so I'm going to take a few days and release a more polished version than I would have. It still won't be "finished", though. Not sure when I'll really feel like it's done. In a couple weeks, maybe. |

AWESOMESAUCE!
This is one of my favorite entries, although it's just a demo.
Only little problem is that maybe you could have reduced the filesize a bit. I'm sure you could have procedurally generated all that with less than 5 Mb (a real voice synthetizer would have been awesomesaucerer).
Please keep working on this.

I spent a good 20 minutes looking for dactyls :D  But such an atmosphere! Kinda reminds me of Marble Madness, in a serene, detached way. |
