New “SD” Demo For “James – Journey of Existence”

January 9, 2014 by A.H.

Have you tried the free demo yet of hand-drawn, hand-animated 3D adventure “James – Journey of Existence?” Were you able to run the game without it crashing?

As I’ve mentioned, the hardware requirements for having HD frames for animating the characters is demanding. A couple gamers have already complained that it would crash instantly. This is almost entirely due to the RAM, which requires almost 3.5 GB of FREE, UNUSED RAM: that means not in use by the operating system or other software. That comes out to requiring 5-6 GB of RAM on most standard computers. The processor, video card and hard drive requirements are manageable by comparison, but the game will crash if not enough RAM is available.

Did You Want To Be Part The Making Of “James – Journey of Existence?”

TO INTERESTED INDIE ARTISTS:

I’ve already been contacted by a few musicians from across North America interested in becoming part of the project. Who knew putting your game out there, on Kickstarter or Youtube, would be a way to make contacts with talented people so easily!

I do desperately need proper musicians, but I can’t really pay anyone until unless the Kickstarter campaign is successful (and yet, I can’t easily have a successful Kickstarter campaign with proper musicians, but c’est la vie). Until then, continue to feel free to send in your names for consideration with links to sample work, I appreciate any and all feedback and interest. This goes for all musicians, 2D-artists, 3D-artists, and yes, even programmers!

Of course, spreading the word to make this Kickstarter reach its’ goal sooner would allow me to start hiring others sooner, so by all means, show “James – Journey of Existence” to everyone you know! Even if it never reaches its Kickstarter goal, I want as many people to see it as possible, to get people to think: “Oh… I suppose a game could be made like that…” If I get that, then I would be satisfied.
