Chronic Logic

Cheers for taking the time to make new stuff!  Just getting it now...

Is there anyway to download the latest version of Pontifex from chroniclogic.com?  I can't access the members login page on the site (something about "server application error", both on the main page and login.asp) so can't get to the file.  Anyone got any ideas?

I dunno about you guys but anything with Jesus on the 'net just seems funny from here.  Jesus... hehehe

I don't think contest entry numbers will bear any resemblance to the amount of sales.  With any game, it's only the hardcore that even post on related forums, let alone enter contests! http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Unless I'm missing something though, we don't seem to have any dedicated web space to upload map packs etc.  CL need to get this sorted ASAP 'cos it's user support that really makes a game last 'n' last (Half-life, Operation Flashpoint, etc)

All the nice new options.  Finally I can change that bright green stress colour!

Good to see the Pontifex thing coming together too and all the promised stuff starting to happen.  Been seeing the game appearing on more and more websites, which can only be good.

Must be something about quality over hype.

Anyhow, another review found.  This time in Need To Know.  Oh no, they've changed the page just after mailing it out.  Oh well, here's the text.

" For anyone who wouldn't fall over so much if they got twenty
        goes at each tottering step, the original BRIDGE BUILDER was
        great. You got a closed 2D surface, with a riverbank on each
        side. You clicked up a bridge out of girders, watch it fall
        under its own weight, then fiddled and fiddled until it
        stood the stress test of a train crossing. It felt very
        intellectual, and now it's peerrrty too: PONTIFEX, the 3D
        sequel is here. Of course, the openGLy stuff is all just
        "SuperTetrisDeluxe" window-dressing - underneath it's still
        the same old, plain old, in-one-plane Bridge Builder. The
        main differences are two new materials (including long-
        dreamt-of steel cable), and - acting as a massive
        disincentive to build stable creations - a flotilla of
        3D-illustrated splashes, creaks, and twangs when it all goes
        wrong. Oh and you can watch it go SPANG from the comfort of
        the train too. And you get more money in your budget.
        Talking of which: Twenty New World Order Dollars buys you
        the registered version: funkier bridges (with high-rise
        decks), a kilobrunel of bad-ass creeks to cross, keeps
        the designers from having to eat each other to survive, etc.

- all other reviews will say "fits on a floppy" as though it is a bad thing"

You can find NTK here BTW

Yeah, HOTU is essential viewing for any gamer of more than a few years!  Or not, for any newcomer who wants to see how good some of the oldies are.

Home of the Underdogs have also posted a review of the game.  That's where I first found out about BB BTW.
