Many thanks for all the hard work you put into making
Atlantis: The Lost Tales accessible to younger generations in its best possible form!
I already played through the game once with the GOG version, without any notable issues (besides the rather minor issue of the missing masks etc. bug), but after upgrading my PC I noticed that the talking animations had become ridiculously fast in the same GOG version, which got me looking for a solution and that's how I came across your "perfect edition"!
I installed the 1.1 version of the perfect edition, and also added the last fix for 30 FPS.
Now the masks on the guards are visible without any problems during conversations!
And those talking animations: they're not too fast now, back to where I remember them being when I played the GOG version on my old PC - but they are still rather fast which I always assumed just showed how expectations back then were different from now (these animations are simplistic by today's standards), but then I watched this video which based on the comments section I know you are aware of:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7Y6gd7dA74and I noticed that the talking animations there are slower - to the point where the "swaying" becomes almost invisible during short exchanges. Is this the original animation speed? is 30 FPS still faster than the original designers intended? What FPS is used in the above video to make the animations so slow (arguably for the better): 25, 20 FPS?
If you know the answers I would be grateful to hear them! I am very interested in getting the chance to play through this game once again but this time as close to the original intended conditions as possible (the game in its full glory without the bugs and the accelerated animations etc.). Maybe we just got used to playing with talking animations running faster than was ever intended - even at 30 FPS locked?
Looking forward to your thoughts!
And again, thanks a lot for providing us all with this awesome edition! (can I advertise it in the GOG forums?)
Hi Sat42 !
We are already able to smooth the game at the right speed in the next incoming game version !
It's 30fps the correct speed of the game indeed.
A lot better version than the Perfect Edition is finished since 1 week (we are in a closed beta).
It will be submitted to GOG to replace the current Atlantis The Lost Tales on their website.
This new version will the best version ever made of the game,
and will replace this one :
- Fix the game running too fast
- Smooth gameplay at 4:3 ratio.
- 100% Compatible with Windows 10
- Fix all graphicals glitchs (Guards, Actyon...)
- Fix swapping between data (Hangar swap)
- Totally recoded scripts from zero (lot better code handling)
- Lot of unused cinematics, dialogues, events, musics make during the development of the game will be available.
=> Every "Director's Cut" features made by Cryo's Team will be public in this special version.
Including "Muria" music made by Pierre Esteve
=> 40 new dialogues and 5 new cutscenes (from the Cryo's development back in 1997)
=> A music player builtin the game
=> A cutscene player bultin in the game
=> A Visit Mode (like Egypt, Versailles, Aztec) builtin in the game (explore hidden area, like Creon's Secret Room, Stone Cercle, Flyer of the beginning of the game...)
=> A LOT better flower pot and boar event handling (A LOT MORE easier !!)
It will be the most complete, ever made version of Atlantis The Lost Tales.
The code is finished à 100%, we are working on the translation for other languages.
It's currently also in a beta test.
A huge huge work has been done since months to get this new version.
This "EXTENDED'CUT" version will be really a huge update (so much content added on the game) of Atlantis The Lost Tales.
It's like a Director's Cut but unofficial !
For the first time, "Muria" music will be in the game (it was made during the development of the game, but never used) :[BBvideo 640,360]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnveRlZbD3k[/BBvideo]
I will make a trailer video to present this new version soon Twilight Adventures is currently beta testing the new game for me.
And of course, you can talk about the Extended'Cut version incoming.
The Perfect Edition will be removed from here when the Extended'Cut will be released as a patch for GOG Release.The patch will check the GOG license when update your GOG game to the Extended Version !
