Incidentally it also installs DirectX 9.0c. sukibabe on "Week 21 - Free game for the weekdays - Empyreal Nocturne" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4753#post-50628 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 15:10:27 +0000 sukibabe 50628@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Here is some of the Read-me..... --------------------------------------- LAPTOP FEATURES --------------------------------------- - Battery power display showing how much battery time remains when unplugged - WiFi connectivity display showing the current connection strength.

One thing that differentiates this game besides having a somewhat unique theme (as do many of these student games) is that it was a 2008 IGF Finalist. Only about 10% of the games were IGF Finalists. I did a search for them and here is what I got: <a href="https://www.digipen.edu/?id=1170" rel="nofollow">https://www.digipen.edu/?id=1170</a>. BTW, I noticed the winner in the student contest last year was Synaesthete, <a href="https://www.digipen.edu/?id=1170&proj=383" rel="nofollow">https://www.digipen.edu/?id=1170&proj=383</a>. sukibabe on "Week 21 - Free game for the weekdays - Empyreal Nocturne" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4753#post-50624 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 14:49:07 +0000 sukibabe 50624@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Thanks and welcome to the forums CW!

New games for freeeee are always well received, though I am astonished to see a new name under this topic. A lot of great games come from <a href="https://www.digipen.edu/">digipen.edu</a>, will you please tell us some more of <a href="https://www.digipen.edu/?id=1170&proj=382">Empyreal Nocturne</a>, of the background, the physics and what does it make special?
