Bonjour, je suis un baker sur Ulule. J'aurais aimé, pour plus de facilité, pouvoir disposer du jeu sur cette plateforme. Voici mon identifiant : **********************.
I am trying to start the demo version of the game using Wine 1.6.2 but it does not work. Do I need at least Windows 7 for Gobliiins5 ? My Wine installation simulates Windows XP. I'm not sure if I can change anything in GGOB5 setup so that the game will run on my system. *?
My computer is from 2007 with 2GB RAM and I am using MX-15 Debian Jessie 32 bit. The graphics card is normally Nvidia GeForce GT 730 from 2014. I use the open source driver Nouveau 1.0.12. In case you're wondering what I can play with my computer...
I have more than 200 games on GOG that I can play with it. Among them for example Anno 1404, Tropico 3, The Guild 2, Banished, Botanicula, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, 7.62 and Shadowrun Returns.
As far as I know Gobliiins 5 uses a recent version of AGS (https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/) which requires at least Windows Vista, so it's probably impossible to run it with Wine simulating XP. Since Vista is older than your computer, maybe you can set up Wine to Vista-level compatibility and try again.
As for ScummVM, it works fine on my computer with an even older GTS 450, but I'm on Windows and I haven't tried this game. ScummVM devs don't provide builds for Jessie, though. Maybe it's still possible to compile your own, You can get some help on ScummVM's forum, Discord server or IRC channel.
If running a Linux build of ScummVM on your machine is really not possible, you could try running the Win95 build of ScummVM in Wine and hope AGS is supported on this build.
You said that you use Wine 1.6.2. That's an extremely old version of Wine (2014), even for your system. According to the builds available here, it should be possible to update to Wine 4.0.1 (released in 2019) on Jessie, which would fix a ton of bugs (e.g. this one which you encountered on another game).
You could also consider updating your OS: your version has reached it's end of life 3 years ago, and it seems newer versions of MX Linux still have very low hardware requirements.
NB: I don't recommend using the specific Wine builds that I linked. I have no idea if they are right for you or how applications are installed on your Linux distribution. However, they show that it's most likely possible to update your Wine install.
Idea: what about resize the whole game graphics with AI tools*? They can do an excellent job on hand-painted gfx like this, so you'll be able to resize the game gfx and get rid of ugly blurried or pixelized resize on modern 1920x1080+ screen resolutions...
14MB is too much for your system specs in 2023??? I re-upped the image in lowers attached + external link for full res. Of course is big since has been upscaled automatically.
I bought this game few month ago because i wanted to support you directly. I enjoyed playing the old games with my dad as a kid and was looking forward playing this game again with him. But he only speaks german so my question is, is there a german translation release still planned like stated in the description?
Dear Pierre Gilhodes, thanks for giving birth to this new masterpiece.
Personally I belive that a future conversion on Nintendo Switch (probably more sophisticated and interested compared to PS and XBOX players) would embrace a new generation of players that actually os only focused on nonsense titles rich in gaphics and 8K renders. This new generation of players need to discover the fashion and the fulfilling of playability of GOBLIIINS series.
I had all the 3 chapters of GOB, included Woodruff
Also an IOS developement and distribution would give a new light on this important chapter of 2D adventure.
I Played a full working demo for MAC, I'm going to buy the whole game, are there any chanches I can play it with SCUMM on my apple _M1?
I haven't tested on Mac M1, but the full game works with ScummVM. Make sure to use the 2.7.1 stable version, the development version (2.8.0) currently has some problems with AGS games.
Really thanks! I bought and downloaded the full game.
By using a MAC the only problem is I am not able to change de configuratiion to set up eng language. Probably I could do it in win and in asecond time copy and paste the folder.
If anyone is interested, the game works properly with the recently released version 2.7.1 of ScummVM (version 2.7.0 was affected by the infamous script error). The text display is also improved (antialiased)
Good morning. I duly bought the game here 78 days ago (I've been playing it since the first Goooblins in the 90's) but I have a problem:
i finished the first level, started the second but it never saves the game. I think it should do it automatically but it doesn't. How should I do? Playing like this is impossible! On Steam I read it works but it doesn't seem right to have to buy it again!
Hello, Pierre, i can help translate text into Russian (i'm from Russia). Our country is under sanctions, but we can try to find a way to distribute(i'm not a distributor) a game through "VK play " (a gaming network connected to a social network). I'm not profi at it, but we can try...
Hello Pierre Gilhodes, thank you for another great game, I have two questions:
have you ever considered a sequel Woodruff 2 ? I consider Woodruff as your best game, I have finished it several times and I also did translated it into Czech language, surely many people would be interested in his further fate in this post-apocalyptic world.
And second question: will there ever be translated comics "Bouzouk MegaDream Park" into English?
Hello! Where can I see or buy your drawings (about 150 pieces) in English and your Bozouk MegaDreamPark comic book in English? In pdf format, which you gave away for a contribution of 50€ or more on Kickstarter. The thing is, I didn't have time, only found out about the fifth game of Gobliiins now... And when is the Russian version of the game scheduled for release?
Bonjour, où puis-je voir ou acheter vos dessins (environ 150 pièces) en anglais et votre bande dessinée Bozouk MegaDreamPark en anglais ? Au format pdf, que vous avez offert pour une contribution de 50€ sur Kickstarter. Le fait est que je n'ai pas eu le temps, je n'ai découvert la cinquième partie de Gobliiins que maintenant... Quand la version russe du jeu sera-t-elle disponible ?

Seems official supported by ScummVM now with the support level "Excellent":
https://www.scummvm.org/compatibility/DEV
https://www.scummvm.org/compatibility/DEV/ags:gobliiins5-1
So you can play it on Linux, Mac OS, Wii, Android, iOS ... too
And: You can save and load whenever you want!

En espérant que cela soit possible.
Merci d'avance.
Je t'envoie ça. A bientôt Pierre
Bien reçu.
Merci beaucoup Pierre.
Hello, I am backer of this game on Ulule. How can I download this game from here?
Hello, tell me your nickname on Ulule, I’ll send you a key.

Anyway, I think it would work with Win7.
I believe that too. But I need games that work with Windows XP. Do you remember? Windows XP is older than Windows 7. :)))
I am trying to start the demo version of the game using Wine 1.6.2 but it does not work. Do I need at least Windows 7 for Gobliiins5 ? My Wine installation simulates Windows XP. I'm not sure if I can change anything in GGOB5 setup so that the game will run on my system. *?
You should try running it with ScummVM ( https://www.scummvm.org/ ), the demo has been reported to work with version 2.7.1
No need for Wine.
ScummVM does not work for me. But Wine.
My computer is from 2007 with 2GB RAM
and I am using MX-15 Debian Jessie 32 bit.
The graphics card is normally Nvidia GeForce GT 730
from 2014. I use the open source driver Nouveau 1.0.12.

If running a Linux build of ScummVM on your machine is really not possible, you could try running the Win95 build of ScummVM in Wine and hope AGS is supported on this build.
Alternatively, it might be possible to use the Linux port of the AGS engine although its requirement may be too high for Jessie (https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags/blob/master/debian/README.md).
Anyway, I don't know if any of this will work but, if your current setup fails, it's worth considering.
Where can I find a Win95 build of the ScummVM?
It's here https://www.scummvm.org/downloads/#release but I have no idea how good it'll run with Wine
The game...
Where Did the Humans Go
...uses the current version 3.6 of AGS.
The Linux version of the game works for me.
Could you explain better what do you mean with "ScummVM does not work for me"? You should be able to compile your own build following the wiki instructions https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Compiling_ScummVM/GCC
That will not work.
Debian Jessie is more comparable to Ubuntu 14.
You didn't answer the question :/
Anyway it's not fair to hijack the comments for this, I suggest you visit ScummVM's forums or Discord so we can help you
Some other suggestions...

Why just 640x480? :(
Idea: what about resize the whole game graphics with AI tools*? They can do an excellent job on hand-painted gfx like this, so you'll be able to resize the game gfx and get rid of ugly blurried or pixelized resize on modern 1920x1080+ screen resolutions...
* a cheap experiment I did with AI Image Upscale — image resizer without losing quality - Microsoft Apps
Result (example):
Link to full res image
Have you make a mistake? Your image has a resolution of 3720x2424, is more than 14 MB in size, and slows down the page considerably for me. :-(
14MB is too much for your system specs in 2023??? I re-upped the image in lowers attached + external link for full res. Of course is big since has been upscaled automatically.
Loading the Internet page takes a long time for me when such an image has to be loaded. Now your image is no longer loaded automatically.
Test:
I bought this game few month ago because i wanted to support you directly. I enjoyed playing the old games with my dad as a kid and was looking forward playing this game again with him. But he only speaks german so my question is, is there a german translation release still planned like stated in the description?
Sorry, there is no German translation in progress yet. Maybe later. PG
Hello, there will be a German version soon. PG

Except this everithing seems working
If you choose "game options" from the ScummVM launcher you should be able to pick <default> or <english>
Hello, thank you for your encouragement! I hope there will be these ports on console, normally it is working, including for Mac. PG
Many thanks! The Switch and other consoles version is well planned. PG

You went to the "load" menu to restart the level? Either in the first page, or by clicking on the menu icon near the inventory in the game.
Backups are done automatically at the beginning of level and stored in a Windows folder.
Hello, Pierre, i can help translate text into Russian (i'm from Russia). Our country is under sanctions, but we can try to find a way to distribute(i'm not a distributor) a game through "VK play " (a gaming network connected to a social network). I'm not profi at it, but we can try...
Your country is under sanctions for a good reason!
Hello Pierre Gilhodes, thank you for another great game, I have two questions:
have you ever considered a sequel Woodruff 2 ? I consider Woodruff as your best game, I have finished it several times and I also did translated it into Czech language, surely many people would be interested in his further fate in this post-apocalyptic world.
And second question: will there ever be translated comics "Bouzouk MegaDream Park" into English?
Hello! ... and thank you. Woodruff’s sequel is a complex project, especially for a single person... It’s not for now. I’m starting Gobliins6 for now.
The comic Bouzouk is well translated into English. Bye PG
Super nouvelle ! Le nombre de "i" a-t-il son importance ? J'avais un certain faible pour Winkle et Fingus.
Ce sont bien eux, ils reviennent !
Oh la la, génial !! :)
Really?! Is there the possibility of Blount's return?
4 exe différents, ce n'est pas la meilleure des idées.
Une version unique de prévue ?
Where can i find the changelog for the new version?
La nouvelle version: Amélioration de la version anglaise.
The new version: Improvement of the English version.
Hello! Where can I see or buy your drawings (about 150 pieces) in English and your Bozouk MegaDreamPark comic book in English?
