In this section I have tried to compile on the questions that people have E-Mailed me about. If theres anything not here that you want to ask, E-Mail me and I'll add it.
Will Amiga Resident Evil take advantage of My Graphic Card?
Answer
It may do, but I'm pretty sure that this version doesn't use a Graphic Card.
Question
Okay, will it ever take advantage of a Graphic Card?
Answer
It probably will never use Graphics Cards as I don't know much about them. However, a Graphic Card is sure to improve loading access when the game uses higher resoloution graphics in the future.
Question
What was Amiga Resident Evil Created in? Someone has told me it was created in Amos. Is this true?
Answer
NO! Amiga Resident Evil was NOT created in Amos. It did cross my mind to do it in that, but when I found out about only able to be able to store 2MB of Sound in memory, this was a no no. Amiga Resident Evil was created in a C based enviroment (as well as other things). .
Question
Why isn't there a controllable character?
Answer
I have mentioned this on the main webpage for the last month or so and I'll tell you again. I'm pretty sure that I will never include a controllable character. Firstly, to make the character would take several megabytes of space. People arn't gonna download a demo if its 15MB big. Secondly, I'm not brilliant at programming (yet) and I wouldn't know how to make a controllable character if I tried. There is a possabiltiy of a mouse controllable character in the future, but at the moment it looks unlikely .
Question
I'm not sure where to click on the screen to go somewhere else. Isn't there a better way to do this?
Answer
Right, I wanted to make it as much like the console versions as possible, where you didn't exactly know where to go. However, its more harder with the mouse. However, from Version 2 upwards I will be adding a new feature to the game. Little symbols on the screen will give you an idea of where you are supposed to go, look at items etc. .
Question
I've played the Playstation version of the game and I haven't seen the bit where you see the zombie drop the head after he has eaten it. BUT its in the Amiga Version. How come?
Answer
I've said before - This version is based on Resident Evil: The Directors Cut. This features more blood and guts and so the Amiga version will see some of these! .
Question
It's Not a Game - Its a Clickable Slideshow!
Answer
Well if you believe this, you are stupid. Although at times it may seem this, Resident Evil on the Playstaion/Saturn is EXACTLY like this. Its just pictures that load of the CD, and it adds the character on the screen! .
Question
I'd just like to say that anyone that thinks Amiga Resident Evil is a slideshow, go and create a better version yourselfs!
Answer
I've had a few E-Mails like this! I know Its not really a question, but some people *love* Amiga Resident Evil! That want more! .
Question
Does Capcom know anything about Amiga Resident Evil?
Answer
Well actually, maybe. If you look on the Guestbook on this site, you will find some blokes from Capcom saying that its a good idea!!!! .
Question
Does Amiga Resident Evil use stolen code?
Answer
NO WAY! There is no code used at all from the original game. All the game code was divised by me! me! me! .
Question
Has Clickboom expressed any interest in the conversion?
Answer
I haven't heard anything from Clickboom or anything about Clickboom bringing it out officially for the Amiga. It would be good if they did, I'm not stoping them for sure! .
Question
Whens Version 2 Coming out?
Answer
I'm trying to get a bit futher on it as we speak. Its gonna be a lot better than the first version! I've changed a few bits of the original to make it play better. In the second release - Expect to see more Cut scenes, a lot more rooms to explore, and things to collect. Although its still under 5% of the finished game, its not to bad. .
Question
Can you not put the whole file in a 3MB archive? Sometimes my line hangs up and I have to re-download it all again.
Answer
I'm planning to do this. There will be different archives for Graphics and sounds and the main program. As well as this, the higher resolution graphics will be put in an archive to! .
Question
The Low-Res Graphics are fine - But I want Hi-Res graphics! Are the visuals much better in this mode?
Answer
Yes, the Hi-Res Graphics are very nice. BUT theres a downfall - they take up a lot more space. I will be including the Hi-Res graphics in a seperate archive for anyone to use. .
Question
How come I can't download Amiga Resident Evil? It says it cannot find the file on the server?
Answer
The file is off-line at the moment as the server was getting so much traffic - it had to be removed. However, I'm uploading it to another server this weekend (7/8 Feb) and near the end of Feb I'm getting another server from somone. This means if one download is busy, the other download site should be less busy! .
Question
My Archive is infected with a Virus! Whats wrong?
Answer
Someone infected the original archive with Happy new year 96 virus. It doesn't do much but use Virus Z and it will remove this virus. From Version 2 (when I upload it) I will keep an eye of the archive to make sure it doesn't get infected again! .
