Story :

You're an astronaut sent to repair an old satellite. You just finished your mission when you notice a mysterious black cube drifting near you. You're totally hypnotized by this thing and suddenly jump in the space, breaking your security cable ! That's crazy, you seem to have forgotten all the dangers here, and when you finally catch this cube,your oxygen is low and you have no way to go back !!!

The game :

ASA is a 1st-person slideshow Adventure with great graphisms, based on exploration and very challenging puzzles. This was a solo-developped project created in 6 months with Adventure Maker in tribute to Riven and other Myst clones. ASA has been rated 4 stars out of 5 on the serious magazine Adventure Gamers.

With a captivating backstory and engaging, challenging puzzles, ASA: A Space Adventure is a welcome addition to the pantheon of Myst-style puzzle-adventure games.
 

NASA may have been in a financial slump these last few years, but our fascination with the great unknown that is our universe has never diminished. Are we alone? Are there other life forms out there? Are they watching us? These questions are the focus of ASA: A Space Adventure, a slideshow puzzle-solving game independently developed largely by one man, Simon Mesnard. For those of you who miss the days of Myst and are looking for a challenging puzzle game with a great sci-fi premise, you will be more than satisfied with what ASA has to offer.
 
In ASA, a nameless astronaut is distracted from his work by a mysterious black cube floating in the middle of space. Entranced by it, he attempts to reach the object, but to do so he must cut off his own oxygen supply (a baffling move to say the least) and is left to drift in the vacuum of space. Instead of dying though, he is transported to an enormous seemingly-abandoned spacecraft. That's where the player takes over, but before you can even get a sense of your surroundings, another spacesuit-clad figure emerges to steal your recently acquired cube. Your task, naturally, is to explore this strange ship (or the Ark as it's called), find the thief, retrieve the cube, and try to discover who built the Ark and for what purpose...

Features :

- visit 9 different environments
(6 areas on the main spaceship, 2 planets, 1 satellite)

- benefits of ponctual 360° views for a better immersion.

- over 20 minutes of in-game CG movies, and 2 possible ends !

- rythmed with an original soundtrack by Karreo.

- walk in the steps of another astronaut, who will help you to find your way. Read his diary to find clues and make the storyline evolve.

This game will mostly please lovers of "old-school" adventure games :
L'Amerzone, Atlantis, Cydonia, the Myst series, Rama, Rhem, Schizm, etc...

Merci pour ces informations, je vais essayer de trouver une solution. Normalement ASA marche sans problème avec ta config. J'ai le jeu sous Win8 x64 et ça ne pose pas de problème en 1.1 avec patch FR.
As-tu essayé de lancer le jeu en compatibilité administrateur ? Tu peux essayer ça, en lançant le jeu directement sans passer par le launcher : dans les dossiers du jeu, il y a un sous-dossier Bin qui contient main.exe. Fais un clic droit dessus et choisis de lancer en tant qu'admin.
Si je tarde à répondre, tu peux aussi aller voir le support technique d'Adventure Maker : c'est le logiciel qui a servi à créer ASA, et la plupart des erreurs y sont liées. Comme je ne suis pas le développeur d'AM, ce n'est pas évident de résoudre tous les problèmes.

As-tu installé ce patch également ?
Desura.com
Tiens-moi au courant !

Peux-tu me contacter en MP ? Ce sera plus simple à régler !

J'aurais besoin d'en savoir + sur ta config : win XP ?
As-tu essayé d'installer le patch de la section "downloads" ?
Desura.com

Aussi, il y a un fichier d'aide en cas de problème fourni avec le jeu. Tu dois l'avoir depuis le launcher. L'erreur que tu indiques correspond aux cas 1 à 3 il me semble ?

Tiens-nous informés !

Thanks to you, Vince ! 7/10 is definetely a good review, particularly with all the troubles you had launching the game.
I'm sorry for these issues, and I believe that the new available Patch will solve them.

I'm still working on an updated version of the game that wouldn't need to be patched, but I ask everyone to be patient...
Meanwhile, you can discover my all new game project revealed this morning : www.theblacktower.fr
