Why the decision to omit the creation of custom levels?

Yep, without custom levels the game looses much of it's attraction.

The levels are much much more detailed now, so there is not an easy way to make custom ones. They would have to be created in 3ds. This and the cost/time constraints on making the game is why custom levels were not included.

I think it is a mistake that the game only works on Nvidia hardware. I know it´s a "The way it´s ment..." game but it should atleast be playable on other dx9capable cards.
I had been looking forward to this game... now I can´t play it
.
Hope they patch it if possible.

I can understand that, then. In leiu of custom levels, will there at least be the option to have a sandbox mode, of sorts, so we can go crazy with the included levels without any budget or material constraints? That would at least somewhat make up for the lack of custom levels, and shouldn't add much to the development time (maybe in a patch?)

I guess Nvidia saw it as a great tech demo opportunity to show of their cards. :/

As far as I know there's no possibility to download the program. You have to pay another six bucks for shipping.
BTW, purchasing the game is a clicking-odyssey: First, I had to become a member of the Auran club, then I needed to start IE with java, javascript and everything (Opera seems not to be supported), then I can't download the game ... annoying!

LoTekk: The BCS demo is actually about 4MB the full game is 11 MB. The full version has parts of Complex mode built in, it is a bit more limited then BCS though.

Tried the demo but it's more like a slideshow (~2 fps). I use a Ti4200 and an AMD 2500+ with latest graphics drivers (45.23). Is there some option to reduce details in the full version?
Another question: Are there thin beams in the full version?

I guess not but I'll try anyway.
While downloading that massive demo I had a look around on your site about Bridge It. And according to the following I can't complain on the nVidia/others issue:
"Q: I understand that Chronic Logic was not involved with developing Bridge It for NVIDIA cards only. I understand that Chronic Logic did not sell their souls. I understand that without NVIDIA Bridge It would not exist. I understand that serious problems face this world such as wars, nuclear proliferation, world hunger, and Ben and J-Lo's wedding. However I still want to write Chronic Logic and complain about Bridge It (a game made by NVIDIA) only working on NVIDIA cards. I also want to tell them I will no longer support them by purchasing their products even though I never did. I understand that everyday I purchase products from huge corporations that exploit other humans worldwide while destroying the environment, but I think Chronic Logic is worse and deserves my personal attention. I want to tell Chronic Logic I am so pissed off I won't even support them by pirating their games anymore, what can I do?
A: Then please send your comments to hatemail@chroniclogic.com"
Brilliant, just brilliant.

need more?
The game (demo) runs smoothly on level 1 but becomes laggy in the bigger levels.

LoTekk: You are correct, bridge it does not allow multiply plane editing, it does have raised deck, and crossbeam toggle options though.
Dreadnough: Thank you, we have however gotten complaints about the FAQ now as well. I guess some people do not noticed that its a joke, and its supposed to be funny. Its meant to take the edge off the issue and put it in perspective a bit, not to offend anyone.

Are the slow downs only on the desert levels, or in the forest levels as well? You should check the Auran forums for Bridge It, there is discussion about this problem. I think its some bug with some of the GeForce 4 ti. I had a similar problem with my GeForce 4 ti card.

i think ill still buy it though, just need to get my comp to some friend with a fast connection. 170 mb is a little much for a modem :P

If BridgeIt and Pontifex II are based on the same engine, will pontifex II bridges/levels be compatible with bridge it and vice versa? I just ask, because it would be very cool if we could run collective contests.

Because Bridge It does not have custom levels it would not be possible to convert BCS levels to Bridge It, and it would not really make sense to convert Bridge It levels to BCS since you cant make custom ones.

Has anyone ever found out how to enable the freemode, if maybe someone from chronic logic could get in contact with one of the original programmers to tell us where to look that would be a start. How hard could that be, unless they are all dead now.
You'd think after 6 years, someone would had found it and posted the answer.
I'd like to try some wild bridges with unlimited money to withstand force 8 earthquakes. :(
