Nice game Cherno, I saw some of the stream. :D
The graphics are cool, and the gameplay is good. I like it.
I give it a 7/10

Nice concept, and I think the music really suits the mood, but as you said, it was quite far from finished ;)

Loading didn't take that long for me, and my computer isn't that beastly, so not sure what was happening with the other guys! :P

Would like to see where you could take this though ;)

Didn't run for me, gave a "Could not find the main class: com.thecherno.ld27.Game" error.

if you are getting white screens either you dont have the right version of java or he messed something up.

I get an error trying to run it. I'm on a max with osx 1.8.4.
here is that error:

I am getting the same error, also on OS X 10.8.4.

fullmontis 2013-08-26 08:38

All I get is a white screen :(

neekobus 2013-08-26 08:53

Good : instructions on the floor. Ambiance.
Bad : Sloooooow moves, empty level.

dinos 2013-08-26 11:05

I get a 'The Java JAR file "TimeAlpha.jar" could not be launched.' error on OS X 10.8.4

zedutchgandalf 2013-08-26 11:12

I'm on Mac and the game didn't launch with a "Could not find the main class: com.thecherno.ld27.Game" error...

acrimiens 2013-08-26 15:00

Nice game!

2013-08-26 16:09

Loading takes too long (if it ever stops...)
The game has not started and waited more than 5 minutes

triplevisiongames 2013-08-26 18:16

I'm sorry it didn't load in about 15 mins so I'll try again later and rate it then if it works

voltorben 2013-08-26 18:56

You got me really excited to try it, but sadly i'm also stuck at the laoding screen :( mac os 10.8.2
Commenting so i can find back later, and hopefully you'll have solved the problem :D

thejackimonster 2013-08-26 19:45

The music is really epic and it looks very good, but it's a bit too much walking over the map, I think...

2013-08-26 20:46

I'm on a Mac, 10.8.4, and it works perfectly fine for me...

thethirdone 2013-08-26 21:47

I got a white screen so I ran java -jar TimeAlpha.jar from the commandline. And it worked.

cherno 2013-08-26 22:15

For all of you who it doesn't work for, I'm working on a fix for certain systems, and I'll update the game when I fix it. :)

jediman 2013-08-26 22:43

Why does a game done with Java2D need a loading screen that takes this long!? I haven't been able to play it yet, but I'll try to at some point.

codecranker 2013-08-26 23:48

I am using Mac OSX and it says 'the jar cannot be launched'. Is there a trick to launch the jar file?
Java is portable so it should just run fine. Which version of java did you used? I a, pretty sure I am on the latest version.

cherno 2013-08-27 03:20

I've updated the game to be more compatible with previous versions of Java, and I've reduced the loading times dramatically. Let me know if there are any more issues. :)

cr4zyt3rry 2013-08-27 09:52

i can get to the menu this time but when i press begin its an infinite loading screen

littoh 2013-08-27 10:24

I can get to the menu, but as i press the Play button, an infinite loading screen appear

super-hamster 2013-08-27 23:16

Dropbox says the file doesn't work because too many people are playing your game. I watch your videos and was wondering if you can try out my game and leave a comment so I can come back to rate your game.

rabbitrobot 2013-08-28 00:01

Excellent. I really love the game. It was so fun joining in on the stream. The graphics, gameplay and theme are EXCELLENT. Great job :)

2013-08-28 06:31

After I press start the game is loading.. it's been like that for the last 10 minutes. Win 7 Ultimate.

triplevisiongames 2013-08-28 17:41

Hi, still took ages to load! I like the theme and the idea and the mood. Good use of the theme too.

2013-08-28 19:38

if you're getting stuck on the loading screen it might mean you ran out of heap space. if you run the jar from terminal with this it might fix your loading issue:
"java -Xmx1500m -jar TimeAlpha.jar"

deep-water-games 2013-08-29 03:07

Good game, very different interpretation of the theme. However, there is too much slow walking

2013-09-20 01:06

Great game! I love everything about it! I watched some of the live stream too!
