Demo and Artifact Entertainment versions ...

The demo default location is C: \\ Program Files \ Artifact Entertainment \Demise \

The character file is ...
C: \\ Program Files \ Artifact Entertainment \ Demise \ System \ Demise \ DEMISECharacters.DED

When you install the Gold Release it is defaulted to over-write the DEMO in the same structure and it will preserve your characters, their items and banked money and items - nothing else!  If you want to keep your demo you can change the root directory name provided you also change the shortcuts appropriately ... as an example ...
C: \\ Program Files \ Artifact Entertainment \ Demise Demo \ ... would work.

Don't forget to change the shortcut NAMES as well !!!

When the Gold Release installs it will load in the default and set up its own shortcuts.  If you want to transfer your characters there is only ONE opportunity ... AFTER installing but BEFORE running the new game for the first time, copy DEMISECharacters.DED into the appropriate directory in the new game.  Do NOT mess with any other data files, you risk the game halting and giving you a message about hacking :-)

The original game is the hardest - the dungeon does NOT have the TeaRoom which makes the game easier!  It also requires the CD be in the drive to play it.

For the 'English' version there are ONLY three patches that can be applied which bring it to Build 353 
This adds the TeaRoom ( the dungeon layout is identical to the Pharaoh Productions version ) and removes the need to keep the CD in the drive.

Pharaoh Productions versions ...

Originally intended as a download only version, 1.01 is no longer available, 1.03 is the current version and there is a 1.01 to 1.03 patch.

The default location is ...
C: \\ Program Files \ Pharaoh Productions \ Demise

The character file is ...
C: \\ Program Files \ Pharaoh Productions \ Demise \ System \ Demise \ DEMISECharacters.DED

SAME CAUTIONS AS ABOVE ... If you want to transfer your character file it must be done AFTER installing the new game but BEFORE running it for the first time !!!  The demo OR version 1.00 character files may be brought in this way.  NOTE you cannot go back !!

All Pharaoh Productions versions require that you be ONLINE when the installer is running AND that you have Microsoft .NET on your machine.
