TRI 0.2.0a Demo for Linux
Mar 29, 2013 Demo 2 commentsContains one of the early levels of the TRI 0.2.0a alpha, with a small subset of the gameplay.
TRI is a first-person 3D game with environmental puzzles and an immersive atmosphere. Experimentation is the key, thus players can create their own geometry to solve puzzles and reach hidden places in weird constructions.
The first prototype was created in 48 hours for Ludum Dare themed "It's dangerous to go alone, take this!". Several months of development later, Rat King presents the overhauled second version.
The game is still in alpha state, but has six fully playable levels and an introductory tutorial. The developers offer TRI for a small price since the previous version in order to get funding, early response and feedback.

Dear fan of the triangle,
we are pleased to announce that the new update 0.2.1 for TRI is live and can be downloaded now. As already said before, this will be the last version with the low price of $4.99 only. We currently scheduled version 0.3 (the STORY update) for end of May, and that one will come with a price increase!
Now, for the AMAZE-ing update we have some new stuff, especially worth mentioning two new levels. The first one let's you walk on walls and ceilings a lot, and has windmills and a glimpse on the floating ghosts (the Kami). The second one re-introduces light rays and acid pits. If you already owned and played the TRI alpha, for your convience you can play the new levels directly - but don't miss the enhances in the other levels! For example, we added the monk in the tutorial level, mainly for demonstration purposes (as he doesn't talk much right now).
And you can finally run now. This was the feature requested by most people so far. :-P Unfortunately, this changed the balance of the gameplay a bit where it wasn't wanted. On the bright side, if you have to walk up a long wall you will need far less triangles now, as you can run quite a while on the wall after leaving a triangle until you fall down again. (Just try it!)
The complete changelist for the AMAZE-ing update:
You may wonder why we call this update the AMAZE-ing update. From April, 24th to 27th we will be in Berlin, visiting the AMAZE IndieConnect! We will meet other indie developers and give a talk about why and how to limit your game in a healthy way. So, if you want to talk to us in person, this might be your chance. :-)
And now for some more screenshots of the new TRI levels:

I noticed that this game is not listed in the alphafunding section … did that happen intentionally?
No, it didn't. How do I put it into that section?
„There are a lot of risks involved with alphafunding so not every game is eligible... but if you are open about your development, want to give and get support from your fans then get in contact and let us know about your project.“

- I very much like this game. It's very similar to Portal and Portal 2 from Valve. It's just that instead of portals you create tri's to make your path defying gravity.
- The music is very good!
- The puzzles are ok, not to hard, not to easy, just enough to have fun
- To bad there aren't NPC's like the robots in Portal to fight with in original ways (no guns of course)
- Oh, I'm playing this on Linux and my specs are i3-370M, 4Gb RAM, Nvidia GeForce 310M 512Mb. On the website, the recommended specs are i5 and better graphics cards (i think). For me it works with these specs but i had to cut down and tweak it in the options->performance xD
Cool, thanks for the feedback and the info about your specs!
I haven't tried it yet, but it's definitely on my queue one I'm over with starseedpilgrim and pid. But here my question: Are you planning to make it RIFT compatible? PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE! Tri is exactly the kind of world I'd like to experience in vr! Please also with hydra support! *hoping*
Hey!
Currently we don't plan Rift support - but if TRI gets popular enough we will definitely do it. Right now it wouldn't be feasible for us, I fear.
Thanks for your fast reply, even if it made me a little sad ;) - I hope it gets popular enough to justify a rift version (maybe being a rift-ready launch title would give it a large extra boost?).
I just purchased the game and am looking forward to playing it when my 'queue' is empty (I recently figured that I get more out of a game when I'm not playing too many different games at once)
i'm loving this game thus far. it was a bit disappointing to make it up here, though, only to be greeted with an invisible ceiling :P

Oh man, how long did you need for this? ;) But good point, I will remove the invisible ceiling!
