    Good to hear. I was getting worried that we had seen most of the game. I even gave up looking at the screenshots

    I think the charm of this lies rather in the complete unimpressiveness of the renderings as a counterpoint to endless hidden object games that bristle with detail.

    That was what I meant, even if not true, such a massive number of screenshots gives the feeling of having seen most of the game already.

    This was my first attempt at raising interest for our game so maybe I was a bit screenshot happy however I feel I didn't give too much away and there is still quite a lot I didn't show.

    About the shadows, that's strange as they are all renders with real lighting, which screenshots/objects in particular?

    Glad you're enjoying it!

    Thanks!

    There should still be plenty of surprises left :)

    We were trying to go for an eerie and deserted feel for the setting so hopefully that has come across.

    Lesson learned, next time there will be a lot less screenshots :)

    Very glad :) We're trying to get it to you as soon as possible :)

    The light on the wall is actually reflecting off the desk and then goes down the back to hit the floor, however the bit at the front on the floor is most likely wrong.

    For the majority the lighting is real however we have had to take some artistic licensing in a couple of places for the sake of gameplay.

    Hey guys! THank you so much for your invitation to beta test.
    I'm having trouble downloading it since an error appears and ask to retry.

    "Unable to Download Application. "Forever Lost HD" could not be downloaded at this time."

    DONE / RETRY

    Any ideas why this is happening?

    Also... I'm having an Iphone... it will run even thought it's says HD?

    Thanks in advance! :)

    It will probably be down to the size of the app which sadly at present is too big, we will soon be splitting into iPhone and Universal versions but will take some time and we wanted to get the first Beta out as soon as we could.

    If you wait a while before you try downloading again it should work.

    Sorry about the lack of updates everyone, we've been very busy over the last couple of weeks fixing all the issues that the testers have found ( thanks guys! ) and a couple of them have proven to be a little tricker than expected. Really hope to have a new build out soon though.

    Just a quick update for anyone following this thread.

    Feedback from 0.2 has been really good so far so thanks to everyone for that, 0.3 will be along soon.

    We have now trimmed the app size down to around 290mb and can still get it smaller, do you guys think that we will still need to split the app into iPhone and Universal versions?

    Just thought I'd make a quick post pointing people to a new game we have just released.

    We made it alongside working on Forever Lost but it is nothing like it, two very different games.

    The thread for it is here and there are loads of promo codes - http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?p=2382934
