As the title suggests, I am trying to obtain an email address or web link to the author of a game called "The Night's Chill". I got it on a CD ages ago, but am stuck and need help. Or, if that is beyond you fine people, is there a link to the website of the game. I have already googled it - to no avail. -------------------- Thus endeth this post.

Neither is usually as useful as Google. Doesn't a logo appear somewhere in the game-credits, or suchlike? That could help you... -E- -------------------- Let them eat cake! Polaris Boards: The System is Up. Perennially. Posts: 2314 | Registered: Tuesday, January 15 2002 08:00 |

I checked the first 20 pages of Google searching for "The Night's Chill" and found no reference to computer games. -------------------- All hail to me, for my best time in MineSweeper is 150 :) The Supreme Rule Posts: 46 | Registered: Monday, February 23 2004 08:00 |

There is an email address in the credits, but it doesn't work. Or he isn't answering... -------------------- Thus endeth this post.

If you didn't get the email bounced back to you as undeliverable, he probably just isn't answering. -------------------- I believe there are 15 747 724 136 275 002 577 105 653 961 181 555 468 044 717 914 527 116 709 366 231 425 076 185 631 031 296 protons in the universe, and the same number of electrons. -- Sir Arthur Eddington Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

What is the email address? Any name or company mentioned, e.g. in the copyright notice? If we cannot get at the game, let us try to go for the author or whoever owns of the copyright. Have you looked into the binary with a hex editor.? Sometimes there are interesting char strings at the very end of the file.

Theories are expectations that help us live forward - like possible ways to put the mosaic together. If they are worth the effort to remember, they should predict something and in case the prediction does not work out with time they should autodestruct. And then there is something that we cannot test - something we have inherited in form of customs, attitudes, culture and the spirit of stories told and retold - that is like our individual SQUARE ONE.

I'm not sure what an hex editor is. Sounds illegal though... The guys name is apparently Paul D Rotter, which I doubt, if that helps. There is an address to somewhere in Germany for sending donations, but I have recieved no mail from him yet. The game is freeware, and was made by him. The game does have a sequel, the Sands of Time/Eternity or something obscure like that. -------------------- Thus endeth this post.

Googling "night's chill" along with "sands of time" just results in bad goth poetry and Xena slash fiction. I wish I were surprised by this. -------------------- I believe there are 15 747 724 136 275 002 577 105 653 961 181 555 468 044 717 914 527 116 709 366 231 425 076 185 631 031 296 protons in the universe, and the same number of electrons. -- Sir Arthur Eddington Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

quote:A hexeditor lets you see the machine code byte by byte and also the string data that the program uses. A full function evaluation 30day license from http://www.bpsoft.com/downloads/index.html should do. Don't worry, doing anything illigal with a hexeditor -like reverse engineering a key code etc. - requires considerable skill and patience. However, as you have the name, the best way would be contact. quote:What address? Let's check.

Seems like it would be easier to beat the game without help...
