Interesting. Any hidden reason behind this, I wonder? Dreamweb 2 Kickstarter incoming?

I have no clue, really. I haven't found anything about a DreamWeb 2 Kickstarter coming. Who knows? Maybe they figured the game's too old to turn a profit on it.

I love this game and I consider it a flawed masterpiece.
If you play it, be sure to read the manual/Diary of a madman for the story.
I still remember my first playthrough, especially the empty feeling after finishing the game.
Dreamweb sure left an impression.

I forget, did this have pre-recorded music or did it use MIDI?

Well, I see on FLAC file in the Dreamweb directory but as to the rest of the music I am not sure...

 

[Jarpie]

At least cd-version had CDDA music but dunno about floppy version.

 

[Jaesun]

OK cool thanks guys. I was just trying to come up for more game MIDI songs to record for my channel.

 

[JudasIscariot]

Welp, I think I met a bug in the game.

Spoiler

If you die before you kill Crane and reload, you see two Ryans: one killing Crane and the other standing in the doorway. The scene whre this blue orb floats out of Crane's body ensues and the game stays in busy mode. The time advances second by second but the game doesn't. Also, reloading from an earlier save two saves back doesn't help.[/spolier]

Halp?

Spoiler

Crane is the first murder? Just restart the game.

Spoiler

Crane is the first murder? Just restart the game.

Spoiler

Yes, he is. Is this a common bug in the game or is this something that occurs in ScummVM? And is this only for the talkie version or for both non-talkie and talkie?

 

[ghostdog]

So this means that those floppy discs where I copied the game 15 years ago are now legal ?

Yes, he is. Is this a common bug in the game or is this something that occurs in ScummVM? And is this only for the talkie version or for both non-talkie and talkie?

Spoiler

sounds like a scummvm bug. I never encountered it before and never heard of it either, but I played the non-talkie version in dos and dosbox

Pre-recorded in both CD and floppy versions. And the soundtrack is fucking awesome.
