I would have really appreciated being able to try your game. Unfortunately, at the end of the installation, I encountered an error message stating that it was impossible to put two files in my system directory. I downloaded the files manually from the Internet to copy them directly into the intended directory, but the game refuses to launch: a new error message. Nothing helps, I have to admit defeat. Don't hesitate to suggest a solution or a "corrected" upload that would allow me to play your game. Thank you.
EDIT : I was finally able to play it: congratulations for this successful game ^_^
Viewing post in Euler's Cube jam comments
Thank you a lot for trying to play my game Yazorius, it's a honor for me! I am really sorry for this issue. If anyone else who played had already received error messages I'd probably know how to help, but I've no idea of what's the matter with your computer... are you using a windows 10 system ? Adventure Maker is a very old software and has not been updated since the last version, running on XP; but five-six friends tested the game before the release, included Simon, and could play since the start to the end - so I don't understand. I will try to create and upload a new executable, but unfortunately I'm afraid that it will hardly work for you, because I don't know which changes I should perform.
Within a couple of hours I'll upload the new vrsion. By the way, do you remember the name of the files and the content of the error messages?
Thank you.
Not playing Euler's Cube cannot be accepted as it is so much an enjoyable game! Make sure you run it with Admin rights, and that you are allowed to play x86 programs (not only x64). Try running with a Windows XP or Windows 7 compatibility mode maybe? I didn't have any issue installing and playing in Windows 10, and didn't do anything special. Adventure Maker games are still compatible. I don't know with Windows 11 however... Might be the issue?
Thanks to Simon for his advice: by installing the game with WinXPSp2 compatibility and Administrator mode, everything went well and I was able to launch the game as is. As a result, I was able to appreciate this particularly strange game, with its logic dedicated to the movements of the knight in chess. I really appreciated the numerous references to Simon's games (and not just the Black Cubes games), as well as the general atmosphere, the final enigma, ... I'm glad to have insisted on your advice. A great way to appropriate the concept of the cube, in order to offer a little game that deserves to be discovered. Thank you for this quality entertainment ^_^
Thank you a lot for your beautiful comment Yazorius! I found your post just now, by chance, because I didn't get any mail notification. I'm not familiar with itch.io yet and yesterday I posted a reply twice. Actually I didn't find a page where I can read all comments and my replies together. I would like to read the comments for all the other games that submissed to the Black Cubes Jam too, but can't find any
It makes me happy to know that someone had fun in playing Euler's cube, and you in particular. Calling it 'quality entertainment' has been honestly flattering for me, thank you!!!
