Quick question: if the sound doesn't work, what do I do to fix it? I refuse to play any game without music and sound effects. I sat through the menu, first cutscene, and a little bit of gameplay without any just to see if it was meant to lack sound but at this point I'm pretty sure I was wrong to assume that. Let me know.

Brillant game srehpog.

Although I have a question. How do I get into the middle of the ocean for the next item I am supposed to get.

Thanks

nice game.

In fact, someone made a parody, which was about as hilarios as a toaster in a dolphin. (or dolphin in a toaster?). okay, maybe more hilarious. lol.

Update...

Can somebody PLEASE help me find the last biometal, i went over the whole map multiple times but still no luck.

You're looking for the one in Dungeon 2, which to be fair is in a pretty horrible place. It's in statue-filled sand dungeon on the North edge of the lake, where you get the bombs. If you go right from the entrance room, it's in the second room from there - the one with three statues which track you left and right - in the middle 'row', on the far right.

Is there anything you can do at the collector's hut?  When I found him early he was dismissive.  Later, when I had just about everything (Rifle 100 shot, upgrade, 20 mine bag, bank account, flask w/mortar ticket) he thought my bomb bag worthless.

As usual I don't have my devnotes with me, so I can't check and give you a direct answer, but you're correct in thinking there's another level of bag you need first. It's definitely not in a random chest somewhere, as most (all?) upgrades are from NPCs... you might want to try making sure you've talked to all NPCs in the NW village and on the lake... Sorry I can't be more helpful. If you're still stuck, ask again and I'll try and find out for sure.

Quick question: if the sound doesn't work, what do I do to fix it? I refuse to play any game without music and sound effects. I sat through the menu, first cutscene, and a little bit of gameplay without any just to see if it was meant to lack sound but at this point I'm pretty sure I was wrong to assume that. Let me know.

If it's all the sound, that's not, as far as I know, a problem with the game. There's isn't actually a way to turn the sound off (only the music, and that's through the Pause menu) so it sounds like a technical error. Not sure what GM5 does for sounds internally so I'm reticent to say "Drivers!", but...

In the first post of the topic, or at YoYo Games.

News:

- Minor fixes in the latest version. Mostly typos pointed out by ElectroBeast (much gratitude thereto) and a couple I found myself while trawling through the unmaintainable source code. Possibly a couple of cosmetic optimisations elsewhere, but nothing massive.

- Not Ark-related as such, but if you fancy something a little less involved, there's Waxy's Rocket Party, a two-month small project I just finished.

- As usual, my thanks to you all. Glad this clunky old game is still being enjoyed.

Damn, I'm gonna play it one more time. This is awesome game

Good work (again), Shrehpog.

[twentyenginerunn...]

Puzzlemaster has more.

Okay, maybe the second longest topic in the creations forum

[therpgmaker]

I just beat the game, and it was AWESOME. Does what it says at the very end mean there is an alternate ending?

Edit: Never mind, I read through the thread a bit more and found a post that answered my question.

Hmm, I finally got around to playing this game fully after all this time...

It's been on my comp for a while...

It's actually really cool. I'm on the part where I need to find directions through the snow or something, and I need help on that for the first time...

There are also quite a lot of bugs in the game that I've noticed, but I forgot what they are... THey are just little things... Oh I remember one now... On that ball game you can keep pushing enter and it takes away money and creates more balls. I had -1007 money or something...


Oh, and on certain sprites the transparency goes away for some reason. Sometimes the parts that should be transparent look black.

[That guy behind ...]

+ bigger wallet?
+ how do you obtain the bombs?

anyone got an walkthrough? The former links on the "older" pages -> does not work any more

i appreciate any help

have a great arky day

[Potnop]

Yeah, stay in the dark parts... Also be sure to press certain switches...


I'm kinda stuck on the northern temple part...

I got through the left hand path and appeared on the right part of the room and stuff... I also noticed neat little dark spots for the blocks so I moved them into those spots. I think I'm on the right track because when I come back to the room they stay in that same spot... I defeated that weird boss that has a spinning ball and ble plasma bomb thing and now I'm stuck...

I read my directive and it says that I need to solve the puzzle using blocks and the orb and to go along tha tleft handed path that I already did...



OK solved it... You have to shoot the blocks with circles on them. I'm now on Chapter 5!!! I'm a bit confused about how you defeat the pyramid thing in dungeon 4 though...

I still have yet to find an additional money thing... Also I hear there's a machine gun enhancement? Must be the guy in western village cuz he has an upgrade I can't afford...


OK beat the boss on my own yet again... Still havent found the money pouch. Wow, I didn't know there was a chapter six!

Hahah, Wow, only now I found out about bio matter. I have one last bio matter and one last kytri crystal to find. Thing is I don't understand where Cardinal Crossing is... I'm using the hints page you had...

Heh finally I have more than 500 credits!!!




Aww I beat it so I could see the bad ending first!!!! I still want to see the good ending though... So I need some help with the very last biomatter and crystals... I only have one of each left to collect...

Took me a while to figure out how to even defeat the last boss... Pretty cool though... The second stage was the hardest with the legs and the eye that shoots stuff...

Anyway, can anyone tell me where cardinal cross is? The walkthrough says thats where the last biomatter I'm looking for is... I thought it was that place east of Northwest village where the lakes cross and is near that big bridge, but I can't find any biomatter there... That image that Creator135 or whatever his name was is down, and I think it would be very helpful...

There are also two places I never figured out. In dungeon 1 what's up with that little room to the side with the stairs going down. There appears to be no way to get there because I'm walking through a hall, from left to up back into the room with the ice thing that freezes you. And off to the side there's that little room.... Also what's with the secret rock thing that I can blow up with explosives in the room with 3 block puzzles. It just leads me to some outcropping where there are 3 of those badguy nest things...

And another thing I haven't figured out is how to get to that chest in the left hand path to get the second pedestal crystal(not kytri). There's this chest on a little island across the black void.


Oh, and I also noticed another chest west or something from the entrance into the pyramid. I don't think I ever was able to get up there. And is there a way to get into the little building in NSV that's at the very bottom on that island?

This little piece of information should help you. When you are hidden from the guards your icon shows in the bottom left if I remember correctly. If I am wrong then you'll just have to learn which spots are safe.

[Potnop]

Yeah the little gray spots are safe...

I don't have a walkthrough... There's a little hint section on this post that helped me find certain items I needed...

The link is on page one titled "I need help finding items for a trading sequence" or something like that. It also tells you kytri crystal locations and biomatter which I only found out about right before I was gonna fight the final boss, LOL... It's the stuff that goes into the museum in the first village and as a gift you get money puches that increase how much money you can hold which would have been very useful before!!!! Heh...

[RingOfFates317]

Another quick question- I got an updated version from my last one (i think) and I wondered if saves were cross-version. Can I send my old save over?

EDIT: RAWR. How the heck do I get through the place after you put in the radio transmitter? I've made it to the pyramid that shoots bloody murder, through the dungeon (I think it's the pyramid boss).

[PLAY: More]

I played this a while ago and just started again - and now I have a question: what should I do after completing Dungeon 1? I'm saved at the New Samosa village.
