Took some time for me to realise Mandrake's april fools joke, heh. At least, I assume it was now... Once I thought about it I was already as far as that I had written up this personal message:
| Quote: | Hello Mandrake,
You don't seem to have uploaded the file you link to in your news post and there isn't even a /mandrake directory on indie-rpg.net. Something went wrong?

ah... damn... that was a good one. Props to you, mandrake.
I thought about doing an april fool... posting a message on the darkness ethereal site that we've been hired on by square, to do a GBA port of Seiken Densetsu 3... and just to make it at least a little belivable, I would've taken some screenshots from the english translated rom, and put them into a GBA sized res (not shrink the screens, but actually re-work them a bit, heh). Of course, this would've taken motivation... and you know how I feel about motivation.

I'm the same way. It took me quite a lot of motivation just to write this response.

[quote] |

Don't know what all you guys are talking about. Worked fine for me.
I thought Changeling was a great game (once you get past all the nudity; was that really necessary, Mandrake?). But I'll be damned if I'll ever know how you manage to pack all that game into a 169B zip file.
I'd write a review, but I'm only on level 3: Changeling vs. Mecha-Godzilla. I'll wait until I'm a little farther along.
Good work so far, though.
Oh, there's an interesting essay on changelings at <http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/changeling.html>, if you're interested, about how the changeling legend was a justification for the killing of deformed and mentally retarded children. I found it enjoyable, at least.

Whenever I try to download it, I just get the first couple of bytes of the zip file. I guess this means that the full file wasn't online when I first tried to download it, and now the partial file is in my ISP's cache, so I'm always getting the partial file. I hate you, ISP! I wanna download the file!

Heh, if your trying to trick people, April Fools is over, it says April 2nd on your post. If your serious though, read the Readme file.

I see it now. I was expecting something a bit bigger, so I didn't even bother opening the file before. I feel stupid now.
