Just wondering:

Will you be offering a demo version that will link to our games to test this system before purchase?

We will be offering a demo version that was made with Torque 1.1. The demo version will be offered in the near future as we complete the backend. We are currently working on a video of what the patcher is able to accomplish. Anyone who preorders will get the version in the video sent to them immediately.

I am interested in this but some more information would be nice, such as:
1. What is the process to create a patch.
2. Can this be used in front of the game exe?
3. If the game is current can it auto run the game?

Basically any info on the pipeline and configuration options would be nice.

You are offering it at a very indie friendly price and you have my interest, but I need more information before I can commit to a purchase. Also, you should talk to the folks at GG about getting this put up in the store and a forum spot for it.

Why does your purchase complete page redirect back to nightshadelingerie.com ??

Are you a spammer?

Thomas,

No we are not spammers, that was one of the things I did not change in my failed attempt at a lingerie shop many moons ago. Thank you for letting me know about that.

If you are worried about being spammed or scammed I will more than gladly give you your money back. :D

ok. I was a little worried for a second there. I saw you were a pretty active member here, so I didn't think so, but.... ;)

I am not sure how I would get in touch with GG on selling this in the store. We actually have a user forum that will be the main support site.

It looks like you can contact Christopher Tauscher at chris@garagegames.com for information on getting into the the GG store.

Any more information on the pipeline and configuration of your patch tool? Like I said, I am interested but I want to know what is the effort involved in creating the patch and how it can fit into deployment.

As soon as I get the full docs done for the first release I will publish them. I am sure you will like the process of the Patcher and the user friendliness of it.

In short right now it is a manual process but as you can see in the screen below it will be automated.

There are three options planned for the patcher
  • Skinned Launcher
  • Basic Launcher
  • Un-Skinned Launcher

  • The basic launcher will allow for auto-play. The skinned and un-skinned launcher will require a button press. THis is mainly for games that want to advertise or use RSS. We are adding the ability to use AdSense as an option.

    The config file for the settings will be encrypted to help prevent players getting the address of the patch folder and try to manually download stuff.


    Here is the most current version of the backend screen

    The video has been updated above

    I have two questions...
    1) Can the Patcher update it self? In other words if I decided on using a up dated patcher will the client side get the new ver?
    2) Is there any way this could be reduce to a 1 file. So a client down loads lets say patcher.exe and runs it. It auto grabs all the files for the game. (would save from having to install the game then run the patcher)

    1. As of right now it can't we are implemeneting that feature though.

    2. We can implement that, and that feature can be added I am sure with little or no trouble (we hope)

    Sorry for the long response time.
