News from the developer: 5/12-08

Hi, guys! This is JoRu here with some more news from the developer. Today the first trailer of The Residence of Old Riddles was finished. It's composed of material recorded in late November and has been edited since then. The main problem I had was the resolution that it would end up too small for you to view or if it would turn out laggy. But now the movie's running in the same resolution as the game (640x480) and only slightly laggy. It's not present in the game so it doesn't matter much. The trailer will be released on YouTube on Monday.

Also, editing the game's menus to match the new resolution has been completed. It's not perfect and further editing will probably be made but now size and position shouldn't be a problem at all. To put it this way: I could release the game today and they wouldn't complain about the menus. They'd rather complain about that it doesn't look finished. ;)

That's all I've for you today and I'll see you on Monday for the first gameplay-footage of the game. You'll get the link to the movie directly from this blog. See ya!
