[PC] Xenophobia (1 Viewer)

[Mardion]

I figured it out as well. =P I just wish I could actually read anything on this. It's all coming up as ????????????????????? instead of even kana/kanji. X3;

set your computers unicode to japanese

...or use AppLocale (covered in this sticky thread).

 

[Elle]

Yeah, I used that on a previous computer at one point. I may install it again sometime. =P

 

[GenericUser]

Has there been any new developments on this game? Are we still on version 0.22?

 

[ryona111]

well applocale cannot be installed on windows 7 =P only xp so thats a lump of fail >.> well if you can find this extra super special file i will be much great full =D.

Have you tried NTLEA? it has been working brillianttly for me and the info is sticked in the downloadable games section. (yes, i realized i spelled brilliantly wrong...)

 

[Razgriiz]

Whenever I try to run this it says I need to download some .NET framework or something.. D: v2.0.50727.. any idea where I can get this? :c I apologize if this seems like a dumb question, or if that was already explained... I don't understand alot of this stuff ><

 

[Someone92]

Have you tried searching for NET framework, download and install it?

 

[Beatitudes]

Yeah, it's a general error, and all you have to do is install the latest Microsoft.net framework. And be sure to restart your computer with Japanese locale for Xenophobia, just using applocale didn't work for me.

 

[blaze8492]

does anyone keep getting an error where it says that it stopped working constantly? It doesn't say what the problem is, only that it stopped working.

 

[Beatitudes]

Does it just crash and disappear? If it does so right after you try to start a new game or do anything on the title screen, then that's what I was saying about using Japanese unicode rather than applocale.

Oh, and I love this game. Does anyone know if it's still being worked on?

 

[Razgriiz]

How do I restart with Japanese locale?

 

[Beatitudes]

For me (Windows XP), just go to control panel, select "Regional and Language Options," go to the 'advanced' tab, and choose Japanese as your 'Language for non-unicode programs." It's been very useful for most japanese indie games (and by extension almost all Ryona games I've found), and shouldn't have any negative effects. And if it does, you can always change it back.

Wait, shit, I actually just remembered what my problem was with the game, I couldn't get it to run until I installed a certain font for it. I just did a quick search for it and found one on hongfire for the game that people say worked, I think it's the same one I used to get it to run. I just uploaded it to mediafire. knife Japanese Font.rar

I'm terribly sorry for not remembering this earlier.

EDIT: Hey, neat, I like the way this forum handles links.

 

[darklink]

wait so if i set it to use japanese for non unicode stuff the computer will still be in english? how will it effect things that are normally in english? reason im asking is this is not my computer and im worried about pissing off my parents

 

[Someone92]

A few symbols, like "\", use some other symbols, umlauts cannot be shown (though that's not problematic in most languages) and some programs may start in Jap; however you can also change the uni-code to what it was previously and restart; aside from some representation errors of Jap characters you created while under the Jap uni-code everything else should be back to normal.

 

[blaze8492]

I have it set for the japanese settings but it still won't work.

 

[Vuoripeikko]

you need cry7.TTC font to play it, since it will crash when any font show up in the game.

if i had big enough brains to figure out how to upload file here, but sadly i dont, so i just have to link the page where i found the font [RS]Xenophobia the "sequel" to Demonophobia - Page 2

Using this and the advice above with command prompt fixed my win7 problem, but WHEN IS THE NEXT VERSION? Or is this the completed version :jk:.

Actually the project was cancelled so this is the only 1

 

[L4V05]

I hate necro posting , but I have to. What should I do if I want to revive the project, either with original team or without.

 

[Yurlungur]

I suppose you would need a team that has the skills to complete it with at least similar quality to the original. Also being willing to work on the game is important, lol. I don't think the original creator would come back to the game though, because, as far as I know, the guy went missing in the first place. I personally love Xenophobia and I've always wanted it as a full game.
Now, I would help myself (since I was curious enough about who posted on the Xenophobia thread to check), but I can only help with ideas and music (which is what I'm at college for). I'm not a programmer or artist, and the people I know that do these things would want nothing to do with this kind of game. I am interested in reviving the project though.

 

[Zilka]

Currently the closest I've seen is PrisonKage by Vosmug. I read his blog a bit, and he talks about how it was inspired by demonophobia/xenophobia and even asks if people want a direct sequel. Unfortunately he got distracted from specifically that game and isn't currently working on it, but do play v0.2, if you haven't yet.
