Not Without You by davidjsushil 2011-08-22T19:32:00

@stRana (and anyone else having issues), here is a more detailed set of instructions for running the game.

1. Extract the files from the .ZIP folder onto your desktop (or any other convenient location).

2. Run xnafx40_redist.msi, which will install the required .NET and XNA files necessary to run the game.

3. Make sure the Content folder is in the same location as NotWithoutYou.exe.

4. Double-click NotWithoutYou.exe, and enjoy!

If following these instructions doesn't help, let me know, and I'll try to work with you to find a solution. Unfortunately, not every graphics card is capable of running XNA 4.0. :'(

@Zed, thanks for the compliment! Yes, Killscreen is the end of the game.

@blackbird, getting the difficulty curve just right in such a short span of time isn't easy. I took my best stab at what I thought would be a good progression. I'm glad you liked it. :-)

@AJMilsom, XNA 4.0 has issues with some integrated graphics cards, which is likely why the game won't run on your netbook. Sorry!

@SuperSausageDog, maybe you're just that good! :-)

Thanks, everyone, for all of the awesome feedback! I spent the weekend promoting my latest game, "Vanessa Saint-Pierre Delacroix & Her Nightmare" at the PAX 10 showcase in Seattle, WA, and just arrived back home in Orlando, FL. What a great experience! I managed to demonstrate "Not Without You" on my Windows Phone to a handful of people at the expo, and the response was very good. I've decided to continue development on the game and release it for mobile devices this Fall. :-)

@nilstastic, thank you! I've very nearly doubled the number of levels in the game since the Ludum Dare deadline, and added a few new mechanics as well. My goal is to have 32 well-designed puzzles for players to solve. Testing puzzles is definitely the most time consuming activity.

Thanks, DaanVanYperen! I'm pretty happy with how navigation "feels" at this point, and I'm looking forward to creating more content for this game. It could definitely take on a more puzzley vibe.
