<b>The game is too fast!</b><br>
In the game menu, click on <i>Settings</i> then on <i>Performance</i> and set the appropriate game speed at the <i>Game speed delay</i> option.
</p>
<P>
<b>The screen turns white! <b>Or:</b> There are no textures (images)!</b><br>
Abashera uses 32 bit OpenGL graphics. Set your screen to 32 bit "True Color". If that doesn't help then change resolution to 1024 X 768 pixels. If that doesn't help either check if you need to update your graphic card's drivers or settings.
<p>
<b>I've updated the game I bought on a CD by downloading a never version from the net but now the game claims that it isn't registered any longer!</b><br>
Type in the registration code you will find on your CD-cover.
</p>
</p>
<p>
<b>Everything just spins around! Or: Something forces me look to straight up or straight down!</b><br>
Adjust the sensitivity for the mouse and/or the joystick in the <i>Performance</i> menu. If you're not using the mouse or the joystick then disable those in the <i>Performance</i> menu.
</p>
<p>
<b>I can't control it with the mouse!</b><br>
The problem can usually be solved by experimenting with the "Sensitivity"--setting in the <i>Performance</i>-menu in the game. If this should fail then disable the mouse in the <i>Performance</i>-menu in the game. <br>
You will get the most accurate control if you use the keyboard.
</p>
<p>
<b>Can I use a joypad, joystick or a gamepad?</b><br>
Yes, joypads and joysticks are supported but before you can use such a device you have to enable the joypad in the <i>Performance</i>-menu in the game. When using a joystick you may have to tinker with the sensitivity setting in the <i>Performance</i>-menu in order to get it right.
</p>
<p>
<b>OK, I've paid the registration fee, what now?</b><br>
As soon as the money has arrived a registration code will be sent to the address you've submitted, preferably by E-mail. Start the Abashera game and click on "Register", type in your code and click on "OK". If you have entered the code correctly the game will unlock and you can play all mazes and use the Maze Editor to its full extent.
</p>
<p>
<b>Is this game child-safe?</b><br>
There's some blood and sharp-toothed beasts but no more than what's healthy. I can assure that there are no weapons, no sexism and no bad language except for maybe some crappy grammar in this game.
</p>
<p>
<b>How do I install the new mazes I've downloaded?</b><br>
You unzip them and put them in the "Mazes"-folder in the Abashera directory, usually found in C:\Programs\Abashera\ . The game will then find them and list them automatically.
</p>
<p>
<b>Why is there no happy sun in the background of the description of my mazes in the game?</b><br>
The sun only appears when the mazes have been checked by me or any of my helpers; the background sun is a sign that the maze has been downloaded from this site.
</p>
<p>
<b>Who's is the beautiful female voice in the game?</b><br>
That's Maria's voice. Maria is the woman I live happily with since the middle of the nineties.
</p>
<p>
<b>The main character in this game, what kind of critter is it, and is it a he or a she?</b><br>
No comment.
</p>
<p>
<b>What does "Abashera" mean?</b><br>
There's two main reasons for the name "Abashera", the first reason is that it's derived from the word "abashed", because a good maze makes people running around in it abashed. The other reason is that most Internet directories list games and such in alphabetical order, giving stuff starting with an "A" a much better placing on download pages and in indexes. You could take a chance and start your product's name with a number or a symbol but some indexes put such names last in their listings.
</p>
<p>
<b>What 3D program have you used to make this game?</b><br>
None. I've used a pocket calculator and a few blocks of cross-ruled paper.
</p>
<p>
<b>What's that rose smell all about??</b><br>
Err.. The early CD-packages smell of roses because the spray glue I used to fasten the labels with was perfumed. I swear that it said nothing about that on the can.
</p>
<p>
<b>I think I've found a bug!</b><br>
<a href="http://maxmagnusnorman.com/english/contact.shtml">E-mail</a> a description of the error to me as soon as possible.
</p>
<p>
<b>Where do you get your ideas from?</b><br>
I'm a multi-dimensional deity who steals ideas from one dimension in order to exploit them in another. I made a fortune out of Rubik's Cube in the Blue Zone.
</p>
<p>
<b>How high is your IQ?</b><br>
Dunno, it of course fluctuates depending on mood and amount of caffeine consumed, but lately I haven't encountered anything which is possible to understand that I haven't felt that I could be able to comprehend if it should interest me.<br>
IQ can't be measured in exact figures, and anyone attempting to drops a few points in my eyes just due to that.
</p>
<p>
<b>I want to employ your for a project of mine!</b><br>
If it's artsy enough and the payment is good then I'm all ears.
</p>
<p>
<b>I'm a gallery owner or a curator and I want to exhibit your art!</b><br>
As long as I don't have to pay (anything else but a reasonable percentage of the sales) to exhibit in your gallery and it's kept on a professional level then I might be interested.
