We are working on the manual. This is not something everyone needs, but it will look more professional :)
The Wheel Of Time
Posted June 25, 2009 on 06:09 by Retroguru
The first public beta is almost in the pipe, but we still miss two important things. The last music track for the desert and minor adjusted graphics. We are pretty sure there will be a release in July 2009!
In the past we had the date moved over and over again, but this time you can really consider July 2009 to be correct. Currently we also negotiate some other minor things for the release… anyway… we will keep you updated!
Release platforms?!
Posted June 18, 2009 on 22:48 by Retroguru
As some of you keep on asking for which platforms we will publish the game… In particluar to anything we can get our hands on, BUT with leaving out the latest platforms.
The game has been optimized to run on handheld devices (320×240), so every system which has a higher resolution than this, needs more tweaking and testing.
We try to release for two devices first – Those people are lucky and unlucky in the same way. We rely on you guys out there to find the last bugs (if there are any at all) so we can fire up a stable final release and start porting it over and optimizing it for desktop systems.
Don’t forget, good things take time – also no one has to pay anything, so never complain about free things ;)
TO DO before release!
Posted on 22:44 by Retroguru
Tasks left:
* Redraw a 310×90 Logo for a special hidden part
* Add a special ability to “Giana”
* Waiting for the last music track (desert2)
* Finish up spanish translation
* Retouch password system
* Minor background GFX retouching
As you can see the list is pretty small! We expect to have most things done soon :)
Bugtracker almost empty again!
Posted on 14:17 by Retroguru
Thor has been done a marvellous job again, almost all tickets in our bugtracker are closed.
We are now waiting for minor art things like minor gfx fixes and one music track and then the game should be out soon, at first at least for GP2x Wiz.
Stay tuned :) The release is really coming closer :D
Back Online!
Posted June 17, 2009 on 03:42 by Retroguru
We had a MAJOR issue with our server but we are back online. Even if this incident delays the release once again (yeah, nothing new), we haven’t been lazy.
More news once we have a bit more time on our hands!

Fabu has conducted an interview with the organizer behind our game.

Things left before a public BETA release!
Posted June 9, 2009 on 04:37 by Retroguru
* Finishing SPANISH translation
* Rechecking GERMAN translation
* Rechecking ENGLISH translation
* One music track
* Very minor bugfixing
The main work here might be Alex’s music track, so add two weeks for one track and another week to get the GP2x WIZ version ready!
The “OLD” Giana’s Return

Some of you might remember that Christian Nowak was involved in the development a while ago.
He released a page with some interesting development gossip, so you may check it out.
