New version!

[Wadjet Eye Games]

Hi everyone! Publisher here. This has been a LONG time coming, but an updated version of Gemini Rue is in the works! It has been recompiled in the latest version of the AGS engine, which means that the resolution issues and graphical glitches should be taken care of.

I still need to test the game a few times to make sure everything works right. Once that's done, we'll push the fix.

I've deliberately put this update off because I knew it would break everyone's save games, but the older the game gets the more issues people are having (it can BARELY run in fullscreen mode on modern monitors, for example). So I can no longer ignore it.

(I'll push the current version of Gemini Rue to a password-locked beta version for those who want to keep their current save games).

As i said - I know this is several years overdue. Watch this space for updates!

-Dave

Cheers Dave.

Wow nice. Love the game but yeah all the bugs got annoying.

[Wadjet Eye Games]

Not bugs so much as incompatibility with modern hardware. :) But still, it's something I should have addressed awhilte ago. Being a tiny company, we tend to prioritize the game in front of us rather than the ones behind us, which I agree is not the best way to do things sometimes. In any case, Watch This Space!

Gemini Rue might have been one the earliest games for Wadjet Eye, but its definitely one of the best if not THE BEST! I still think about this game in 2017, its so beautiful in every part of it, from the wrriting, the music, the VA'ing omg its brilliant!

Thanks David for updating it!

Nice. I'm half insane and the rain being missing for about an inch on the one side of the screen has always bugged me enough that I couldn't play the game. Glad a fix is inbound.

Will this new version come to GoG as well?

I WANT TO PLAY THROUGH YOUR GAME, AND I WANT TO DO SO WITH THESE NEW FEATURES.

UPDATE IT, PLEASE. I AM USING CAPS LOCK SO YOU KNOW I AM SCREAMING.

[Wadjet Eye Games]

SO sorry for the delay, everyone. We are pushing the updates right now.

[Wadjet Eye Games]

Aaand by "right now" I mean "tomorrow." The last time we updated Gemini Rue, Valve used a completely different system and it's taking longer than we thought. Apologies again for the delay!

Copied from the news page:

Hello all! You might have noticed that your Gemini Rue game has been updated. We have re-compiled the entire game in the new version of the Adventure Game Studio engine. This means that the game NOW WORKS ON ALL YOUR FANCY NEW MODERN MONITORS. As the game got older, many glitches started appearing. Those should - theoretically - be gone now. We know this update was a long time in coming. Thank you for your patience.

This does have the negative effect of breaking all your original save files. If you would like to revert back to the original version of Gemini Rue, you need to to the following:

1- Right-click on the game in your Steam library
2- Select "Properties" and go to the "Beta" tab
3- Enter the password "geminirueold"
4- select the beta version "original" from the drop down list.

The game should revert itself back to the old version. If it doesn't, uninstall and reinstall.

Thank you all, and enjoy the game!
