   Hi everyone!

   Although it's a couple of days ago since the game has been given away, I'd like to raise an issue about "Destiny Architect".
   I'm not going to comment on the spelling and grammar mistakes as they were communicated extensively within the comment sections. Actually I gave the game a "Thumbs up" because I'm a big fan of games that put an emphasis on logic rather than reaction speed. The difficulty could be higher and the story lines between the levels could be shortened, but those are only minor flaws.

   Believe it or not, I played it through. Or at least I tried, because the game simply stops once you've completed some levels on the 3rd map!
   It appears to me as if an incomplete, unfinished or trial version has been offered for free download.

   So, folks at GGOTD, I'd greatly appreciate that next time you publish an unfinished "product" or a trial/"beta" version, you'd better mark it as such. It is highly dissatisfying to start a game without being able to finish it properly!

   Otherwise, thanks guys for your job!

   Kind regards,
   Maui.

   As per usual, can anyone else post their experiences of the game "cutting out" or have you played further?

   Really appreciate any feedback if you encounter the same problems with the 3rd level. I started to play another round to see whether the game stops at the same spot again. Will let you know as soon as I get there.
   Have a great weekend folks!

   I think what you might be having a problem with Maui is that some are timed if you look at the left hand side above the mage or whatever it is on the left sometimes above is a time limit i know that on my first time i finished the third level right at zero :) woohooo i beat the clock for once:) No freezing or stopping though that i have noticed as of yet

    well came back to this game for one more round and i think the third room on the green section is the conclusion or it just isn't letting you go any further so who knows:) i tried and yes at about 3-11 there isn't anything more blinking to go anywhere but yet on main menu it asks if you would like to continue or not ... if you contact developer let me know:) would like the continuing of the game i got addicted so now back to montezuma i am still on 4-8 there:) lol

    The first time the game stopped on map #3 after completing the 3rd "flag" on the right side. Can't tell you right now whether this is flag no.9 or "zurab". After finishing the task, I came back to the map but with no other playable levels available. The remaining part of the map was black. If this is the conclusion of the game, it's the worst conclusion ever programmed!
    I still believe that we are used as beta-tester. Look: you can collect "little treasures" as a bonus during the game, but with no visable effect other than a little "pling". There's a bonus available to stop the time although with most of the levels time is not important. I thoroughly like the game and its general idea, but it's too easy for adults, and the surrounding story is far too complex for kids. If you discover any mail address for your complaint - or better said: suggestions for improvements... ;-), I'll join you!
    I'm currently playing a 2nd round, but I'm still on Map 2. Will let you know if the game comes to stop at the same point again.

    Just discovered that "Meridian93" is a game development company based in the Ukraine (!!! - now we know where the spelling mistakes come from....). Appearently they've uploaded a new version on the website http://www.robingames.com/games/destiny-architect/ (see last comment). Maybe we can convince GGOTD to publish the new version.....

    Hi everyone!
    Just finished playing my 2nd round of "Destiny Architect", and the game came to a stop at the same spot again. So, "apparently" (;-)) they have given us an incomplete version of the game. Too sad....
    Could you folks at GGOTD make sure that this won't happen again? I truely love your website and the opportunity to play games for free, but "free" shouldn't mean playing games which are still in development stage!

    Hmm, could you please let me know what level exactly causes the lockup/exit for the game?

    It happens on the 3rd map after finishing with the 3rd flag on the right side. Something with "diamond". I played the game twice, and both times once you return to the map there's no way to go, no other tasks/levels are available. And considering the fact that the story line doesn't come to a proper ending either, the game's obviously incomplete.
    I'd be glad if you could repost a complete version as the levels on the first two maps are pretty easy, and the difficulty rises notably on map#3.

    Same place for me Maui it is the 3rd flag on the right or if you count all flags it is the 11th flag. Also you will notice it is on the blue side of the screen with the left side being green:) Hope that helps admin we do appreciate you :)

    Also wanted to let you know admin in the first board there is well over 20 rounds for this game which is another reason i don't feel it is complete because level 2 also has more then the eleven rounds given in 3 :)

    Based on past experience - you will probably not get a direct answer. In the past there may be a suggestion in the blog or a link to redownload (if there is a definite problem) or the game may be re-run entirely. (That's not saying that something will definitely happen, either).

    In terms of confirming 100% one way or the other - the GOTD team tend to take the "let's suprise them" course of action.

    well it took me 3 days but i did beat it and this game is a lot more then what appears to the eye did you notice we now have different endings depending on which answers you give Maui? I can't wait to go back and do it again i just hope i remember which way i answered the questions during the course of the game :) lol And Admin i want to say thank you the ending is much better then the one previous :) Enjoy and have great fun with this it is a awesome game no matter what the ratings were i know it is definately a keeper in this household people need to try things before the start bashing them IMHO and thank you Maui for noticing that it was an incomplete game :)

    Hi "bluhoteyes",
    and Happy New Year to everyone!

    I'm currently playing another round, but haven't got very far yet.
    The game has significantly improved (you see who's talking, for example).
    Totally agree with you: this game is a keeper!
    Have fun with "D.A."

    What did I miss? First, DA is not working all the way through, and then Maui74 says "YIPPIE!" and plays through. bluhoteyes, too. Are you both now playing the trial version of the new upload from the robingames website?

    What did I miss?

    I hate to be the one to break the news to you, but I think you slept through an entire re-run of the game.

    http://game.giveawayoftheday.com/destiny-architect-rerun/

    Maybe the website version is the same as the one offered here.
