10060 Trackballs games 7152 RAM issues. Currently the game uses a *large* amount of RAM. A solution to this has been prioritized. Rather than posting duplicate complaints on this same issue, please wait for next release if you have very little RAM. I have 256MB installed, and the game runs sweetly. If you can see an obviously waste of RAM in the source code, feel free to email a patch to the project team. 2003-04-02 14:44:55 9892
10061 3591 news -1 What amuses me... ...is that they've declared that they need artists, but they don't specify what sort of artists they need.<P> Do they need character animation? They don't say. Do they need landscapes? They don't say. Do they need architectural skills? They don't say. Do they want artists who specialise in the fanciful, or the realistic? They don't say. Presumably because if they said what they needed, people might guess what they were doing.<P> Yawn. Secrecy is fun. Especially when you can get headlines on websites by pointing out how secretive you're being. But it's not the best way to solicit people to donate their time, effort, and skill.<P> And incidentally, I hope that the editor of this site stops posting this type of "Something very important has happened but I won't tell you what it was, but I can promise that it didn't involve a sheep." news stories. They get old REALLY fast. 2003-04-02 16:53:20 0
10062 XWelltris games -1 Great Game I probably download every Tetris clone or variation out there, but this is certainly one of the best I have played. It's a refreshing break on other games I've seen around. I also would like to see some nice sound FX added to the game, but all in due time =) 2003-04-02 17:33:01 0

10067 Trackballs games -1 Re: trackballs may be it is problem in way that game use OGL? Someone with 700MB ram had this problem too. I know, that it won't work on RAGE128; may be GFORCE, VOODOO etc. are ok? 2003-04-03 02:56:26 9892
10068 3591 news -1 Re: What amuses me... <blockquote>"We are looking for artists that have good skills in modelling 3D objects to a high quality. 2D art ability is also desirable."<P></blockquote> Such detail. '3D objects' and 2D art. I stand by everything I said in the 'rant' -- they said precisely nothing that would tell a potential artist whether he was liable to be asked to produce vehicles, buildings, gems, characters, etc.<P> If you really want to disagree with my comment, please do so by actually responding to it, instead of by treating me as though I'm stupid. Thanks. 2003-04-03 04:38:12 10066
