So. It's 2013.. I joined the team developing The Stanley Parable. They tried to copy the concept of our game. I embedded it into the game code. I hope they don't notice. The Desert Parable project is not finished. I'm passing it on to someone else. You'll find it on MODDB, under the name d5xd. He needs to finish it. Spread it. If there's anyone still alive here..if in 2024, you see the mod "The Parable Of Desert" on MODDB.. try to summon him. Tell him that I've spread it.

We haven't talked since 2006! Where did you disappear to? What is The Stanley Parable? What did they copy? BTW, I remember that game we released. Too bad it was removed from Steam because of a supposed virus that crashed computers. Everyone was talking about the red man. Do you know anything about it? I know you said you were going to implement procedural generation of VMF maps, and some god. Is it related to the red man? Oh, it's good that Desert Parable is getting a remaster. But why in 2024? Why can't you hand over the project and the work now? Please write me an email! Let's chat, at least : doctornull2003@gmail.com

Source version - ready!

Dr. Null | 1/3/2006

Hello, forum members. Source version of the game is ready! But! because the development took 2 years, we had to move it to Source 2006. to Source 2006. We added a lot of customizations, and tested it on different video cards. Here are the approximate system requirements : Slideshow Requirements Processor : Intel 486DX4-100 MHz (or AMD 5x86-133) Why not i486SX 16 MHz? - 16 MHz is not even enough for menus, 100 MHz is the conditional minimum for simple 3D. Video card: 1 MB of video memory (S3 Trio64, Cirrus Logic GD-5429) + DirectDraw in 320x200 mode. Why not 4 MB? - 4 MB is enough for Quake 1, but Source-like rendering even in simplified form will eat more. RAM: 16 MB (for DOS) or 32 MB (for Windows 95) OS: MS-DOS 6.22 or Windows 98 in “Safe Mode” mode FPS: 1-5 frames (this is not a game, but a slide show) Minimum “playable” requirements (10-15 FPS in 320x240) Processor: Pentium 75-100 MHz (or AMD K5) Why not 486. - Pentium has 2-3 times more IPC, which is critical for any 3D. Video card: 4 MB of video memory (S3 ViRGE, Rendition Verite 2100) + DirectX 5 in 640x480 mode. Why not DirectDraw? - Direct3D 5 already gives acceptable speed for simple 3D. RAM: 32 MB (DOS) or 64 MB (Windows 98) OS: Windows 98 SE (with services disabled) FPS: 10-15 indoors Recommended for comfortable game (25+ FPS in 640x480) Processor: Pentium II 300 MHz or AMD K6-2 Video card: 16 MB (3dfx Voodoo 2, NVIDIA RIVA TNT) RAM: 128 MB OS: Windows 2000/XP FPS: 25-30 on low

Why did you leave strange DLLs in the BIN folder? Who is Morreiah? Also why when entering sv_cheats god appear strange graphical bugs? Also strange red man. I think in HALF LIFE 2 this did not happen.

The desert is calling! We have purchased a Source license from Valve.

Dr. Null | 4/2/2005

Hi, forum members. Today, we bought a license of Source Engine 2004, from Valve. They liked the concept of Desert and digital hell. And no, the game will not run on 386-486. But, we will try to optimize the game as much as possible and implement more settings. In the meantime, play the 2D version!

> Why? You could write an engine from scratch. Source - although new, but it requires at least DirectX 6. Add support for at least DX 4, and at the end DX 1! So I can play DS on S3 Virge.

> That's very dumb of you. 2D - will be more optimized because it uses DirectDRAW. And DirectX 6? For example, my video card doesn't even know what DirectX is. I hope you add DirectDRAW mode, because I want to try it out.

Desert Parable 2D (Concept + Demo)

Dr. Null | 8/2/2004

Hello, forum members. We have closed registration for six months due to the SPAM of bots. But we have made a new game! It is called "The Parable of the Desert." Me, with my friends @crash_override , @Morreiah started developing this abstract creation. We chose a 2D engine so that everyone could play. The DirectDraw SDK was taken as a basis. You can download the demo on the main page! No DirectX Required! (Runs even on DOS)

> What, the forum is now turning into a developer forum? Quite an interesting concept. I played but.. I felt something strange. As if something was watching me. Also, in the files I found a strange video with a red guy with the background of red clouds. By the way i also advise you to buy a Source license, I heard Source is very affordable and supports all modern technologies.
