old Pre-Alpha Version of Stranded II: Lost Media?

Hi everyone,

I heard about the pre-alpha build of Stranded II, which was supposedly before a major rewrite and significantly different than the current Stranded II. I searched the web but couldn't even find a screenshot, let alone a functional download link.

Could somebody please re-upload the pre-alpha build? Or has it become lost media?

Thanks.

Where did you hear about that?
I don't think there were major rewrites.

The only version I remember was an early build which I sent in for a competition at www.blitzforum.de and I won Logitech speakers with it which I'm still using today

But that version was pretty close to the current one as far as I remember. Only that textures looked sharper (in a bad way) and that it had a specific mini level you could play any nothing else. I'm afraid I don't have that version anymore.

Thank you for your response. It's sad that you don't have that old version anymore.

I heard about pre-alpha in the German forum. In the thread titled "Alte Stranded 2 Versionen" (unfortunately I'm not allowed to post links yet), you mentioned that new versions are not based on the pre-alpha code, which I interpreted as a major rewrite. Here's the English translation:

DC has written
Because later Stranded II versions aren't based on the pre-alpha code at all. The pre-alpha version had, among other things, excessively long loading times and was quite cumbersome internally (I hoped for a faster approach, but this attempt failed). Only the graphics and a few code snippets were carried over from the pre-alpha to the "real" Stranded II.


The later posts in that thread describe various aspects of the pre-alpha version, which made me really curious. So, if anybody else could re-upload that version, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks again for sharing your experience with the old version.
