So sad this project fizzled out....

 

I feel like an idiot, but how to I run this game? I used the installer version for version 1.0. This time, when I extract the files, I just get a single file called "Forge_Chapter_One_1.1_No_Installer" and Windows doesn't know how to run it. If I rename it to add .exe at the end, it says my version of Windows is incompatible....


EDIT: NM. Figured it out. If anyone else ever has the problem, I had to also extract from"Forge_Chapter_One_1.1_No_Installer" to get the real folder with all the game files. It didn't have the ".tar" extension like the initial file so it threw me off.

Dude, this is good news. Sorry about the financial struggles, but I'm glad to see that project is still alive. I can't wait to replay Chapter 1!!!!

OK, no news since January has me worried. Is Disney's acquisition of LucasArts causing an issue? Is this project still rolling? Please, give us some news!!!!

Well, the sad thing is I'm between jobs, and being unemployed sucks! On the other hand, I recently played Loom for the first time in over a decade. I was a little rusty, so I looked up an FAQ. The FAQ also made me aware of this project. I downloaded the demo and played it all the way through. I just have to say that you are AWESOME for doing this! The decision to keep it retro is 100% right. I (personally) like that you're keeping it in the spirit of the CD-ROM version because that's the one I grew up with. I may report more critically in the troubleshooting forums, but, overall, this project is BOSS! Keep up the good work!

I agree with those who say the old lady doesn't sound old, and that the tombstone puzzle is too much. But, outside of those things, the game is top-notch!!!!
