Moderation!

Since this is a newly released version of an old game, I'm moving the topic to the New releases room.

Fantastic Jyro.

I always meant to buy myself a copy of kirt wolf since I really liked the game but was very busy first guide dog training and then doing other things afterwards,now I will certainly have another look and likely do that.

Hi.
Nice!
So, how long is the adventure compared to Eric the cleric? How long does it take to complete? I'll check it out as soon as I got time to do so.

The description of this looks cute; I'll have to take a look.  Though I'm going to have to try the download with Firefox since I'm getting complaints of something not existing in my temporary internet files folder right now.

Hi,
I baught the game a few weeks ago and it is worth it.
I realy liked it and hope for kurt wolf 2.

Hi,
What's the difference between the 4 way navigation like in Airik and the available a, s, d, w style of navigation in the latest demo? They seem the same to me.

Wow, sounds like something I should check out.

Hi.

to answer some questions. I have not tried the latest kirt wolf update with the mouse navigation, however I would like to if the demo has already been updated.

As far as the game goes, it's a sort of stealth action adventure game, with lots of sneaking past guards, finding items and hightech puzzles. Voice acting and sound are great, albeit that the atmosphere is rather different from Airic the cleric, since this is a sort of semi cartoony spy themed game with animals as it's characters, not a full on fantasy adventure as in Airic.

the navigation I also found a little different from Airic, or at least the last  beta of Airic which was playable on xp, since Airic used  a strict four way navigation tyle sort of system like Night of parasite, while Kirt wolf has full 360 degree movement ala terraformers. This is a trifle disconcerting being that the graphics are actually 3rd person.

I may well buy a copy myself, particularly since I can also appreciate the graphics too, albeit the game is quite playable without them (I utterly turned my monitor off and played on headphones when writing the entry for the db to check this fact).

I'm afraid I don't know how this compares to Airic, since even though I did voice act in Airic, I have not actually played the full game due to that xp bug with navigation. Fortunately such a bug does not occur in Kirt wolf.

hay jyro, if your reading this topic is there any news on fixing that xp error? i'd love to try the full version of Airic.

Well slj, by hightech puzzles I mean things like locks and keys, deactivating alarms and laser beams, that type of thing. I don't believe this is so different from the sort of thing in Airic, for example you collect rubies in kirt wolf to build extra spy gadgits rather like the crystals in Airic, however as I said I can't be so sure.

Whichever way you look at it though, Kirt is a good game, and I'll likely be picking it up myself soon enough.

Hi,
Your binoculars need to scan over the gap, i.e. step closer until there is nothing in front of you.
Then, press forward, immediately pressing space, and also keep holding the forward key, as if you were walking over the gap while jumping.
It takes some practice, but it is doable.
As you can see, jumping in KW is entirely different than in Airik.

Hth,
Rob

Hi.
Thank you very, very much. that works for me and worked even the very first time I tried. Lol. I'll play the demo version later, and buy the full  version if I manage to complete it.

Hi.
So I have played the game some more, and I must say that I don't liek the way the navigation system works.
You can side step which is really nice, but you constantly have to turn around to scan in all directions, and that confuses me. I quickly find myself lost when turning around all the time to make sure I don't miss anything.
I'm also experiencing the snorring guards don't play correctly and sometimes the sound dissapear so I axedently run into one of the guards.
So, for those who don't have those issues, I think the game is great. But I won't buy it because I always got lost.
I wish  you could scan in all 4 directions just like Aric the cleric.

I noticed the original truble with the scanner myself actually slj, though by checking my facing direction before I turned round and scanned I did find a way around the trouble, which is obviously why jyro introduced the four way scanning mode.

I'll give the demo another go, and if it works okay on an xp machine as the previous one did will likely get the game myself.
