This is the one and only alpha build of Two Lords. Instructions included, make sure you read them before playing.

Sweet game! Keep up the great work!

Is there a way to play in full screen mode? It makes it tough to turn using the mouse in windowed mode, cuz when the mouse moves out of the window, the view suddenly angles sharply up and the hand starts firing automatically.

If you cannot play it in fullscreen mode, then your video card is incompatible with the 320x240x32bpp screen resolution (likely very old). Unfortunately, there's nothing that can be done about that right now. The game is designed to start up fullscreen, and the vast majority of video cards in current use support 320x240x32bpp in one form or another. I plan on adding a 640x480 mode at some point in time.

Ah, yep, my laptop doesn't support 320x240 mode.

My laptop video adapter is Mobile Intel? 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset Family. "The set of basic static display modes (at 60Hz and up to 32bpp colors) include 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, and 1600x1200."

Updated the driver, and the full screen mode worked. ... at first anyway. Got an error that closed the program, but at least it's a start.

Music plays, Plantasy Studios fades in and out, Two Lords title screen displays, and then it kicks me out of the program with the following error report: (copied from the winxp generated error report in the temp directory)

Probably just a graphics card issue on my end. Oh well.

Try to run it in compatibility mode for Win98/Me.
