A rare GK2 roling demo is now available for downloading. Now the collection of demos is complete.
Gabriel Knight 2 demo released in the end of 1994,
featuring three AVI clips (Howling wolves, Sierra moon logo, and GK2
promo), a couple of rare pictures of the in-game locations, an ambience
soundtrack for slideshow and a user-friendly interface.
In order to run the application under XP please set up the
compatibility mode first: extract the archive, right click on the
SCIW.EXE, go to Compatibility, set “run this program in compatibility
mode” - Windows 95, and set “run in 256 colors” in Display Settings. Run
the application. To get rid of the annoying popup window inside - run
setup once, install the program into your hard drive then use the
created shortcut to run the GK2 demo. However, you may have an application crash while watching the slideshow. In that case you have to overwrite 300.AUD file by this one. The problem will be fixed, but unfortunately the sound will be off.
Hoping that you’ve enjoyed your winter holidays I would like to and wish you the best of luck in the New Year. Unfortunately I did not have enough time to keep the site updated regularly lately, but I’m doing my best to keep it up. Design updates:
The design has been slightly changed: All the news note are now moved to “Latest Updates” section. The Gallery updates:
GK3 Timeblocks: images with timeblock Bible (This document outlines where actors start in their timeblocks, what they do, and what the player needs to accomplish for time to advance) for each part. Artworks Sketches: A few cleared high resolution images from book covers and magazines have been added. Wallpapers Collages: I tried to collect all official Wallpapers and Collages made by GK fans. Most of them are by Paula Kutvonen and Nate Wolfe. Graphic Novels: Both high resolution (1265x2000) graphical novels have been added.
Links updates:
More
than 50 GK related site links have been added to Links list. There are many GK related sites. In order
to sort them out, the links will be supplemented with thumbnails and short descriptions (in
process).
"Alfa/beta, unreleased" and "Promos". The first one contains a number of screenshots which can not be found in the final release of the game. Promo-section contains a selection of rare materials which were created in the process of game-developing: for example, a demo slide-show of "The Beast Within" and also some hidden materials that were found (not by me) in the source-code of the game..
I’ve also finished the 3D Model of the Schattenjager talisman. You can see the renders in my Work in Progress. And, I’ve also added better quality cover artworks for soundtracks, as The Crazy Owl and no_ron requested. You can download them in the “Soundtrack” section, each image linked to the corresponding album.
Gabriel Knight: "Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned" soundtrack.
I couldn’t find a full GK3 soundtrack in the Internet, so I decided to make my own version of it. The
tracks have been extracted, arranged, merged, resampled, named, and
uploaded. I also reduced background noise in some of the tracks.
Most
of the tracks are composed of several small parts in the same order as
they appear in the game (For example “Grace’s accession” consist of three parts: CSEGRACECLIMB.WAV; CSEPRECLIMB2.WAV;CSEGRACECLIMB2.WAV, and “Nocturne” consists of: NOCTURNEINTRO.WAV; NOCTURNE.WAV; NOCTURNEFAST.WAV). I did not include into this soundtrack such
short parts as: WILKESDEAD.WAV, GABEVISION.WAV, TEMPLEDEATHTAG.WAV etc. There are also 4 fun tracks i have found in the source: BARDISCO.WAV, CIRCUS1.WAV, CIRCUS2.WAV, PARADE.WAV, and an interesting mix: TE6DEMON.WAV that you can find in "GK Remixes" album.
All the tracks recorded: 128kbps 44kHz. Same quality as in the Game. Total time: 1:23:50, size - about 80mb. Enjoy the music, it‘s really great.
(Background music that you can hear in various locations of the game). I believe its pretty exclusive, It took me two days to grab and resample. The quality of the tracks isn’t the best but good enough to refresh someone’s memory. Enjoy.
More pictures were added into the gallery. Now I work on the pure version of GK3 Graphic novel. (shot by shot without chat bubbles), you can see the progress in the following parts of the gallery:
You can also find booth original versions of graphic novels in PDF format in the inventory section, along with demos and soundtrack.
