May I be the first to say... that this thing is freaking awesome. I love the artistic style, I love the barely noticable, short animations, I love the transitions and the smoothness... Wow. I have it set to real time, and it fits my mood perfectly.

Now, if only this could be combined with real-time weather effects, where it would load data from weather.com or something if you put in the zip code. Haha, I'm dreaming though. But this is truely amazing and relaxing.

Hello!

Thank you for your feedback.

Riverland Screensaver 2.0 is in the development. New type of 'clever' animations and weather effects are among key version improvements. Please, stay tuned for the release later this year.

Funny, I was looking for a PPC version of this just last week. I purchased, but I can't figure out how to get to the settings, and I can't seem to find any help or documentation. Can you point me in the right direction?

[mrkablooey]

looks really nice! the weather effects will be even better. :)

The PalmOS version is sweeter due to the support for HVGA. Bring The Matrix screensaver for PPC. I have it running on my T3 and it is the most realistic Matrix screensaver ever.

Most of you youngins' probably wouldn't remember it :wink: , but I wish someone would port the old Johnny Castaway screen saver to Pocket PC! (It was an old Windows 3x screen saver)...

Was it that long ago? That thing wasted more time than solitaire :)

That was its name... I was trying to remember. I loved that thing! And Sven was 100% correct. The hours I watched that thing for...

Heh, the hours I spent not doing work just so I could see what would happen next... :wink:

Wow, this looks pretty cool. I leave my PPC docked all the time and this looks like a really neat way to stay entertained. :wink:

Oh, and I've never heard of Johnny Castaway before, but I did a quick search and found that you can download it free here:

And information for setting it up on XP is here: (about half way down)

Man, that looks cool, too! I've got to try both of these! :mrgreen:

How long did it take to get your reg. codes? I have not been able to enjoy this as I haven't gotten my code yet :cry:

Please, refer readme.txt in the distribution package for instructions on how to take full use of screensaver options, including speed change and autolaunch.

Now that's cool. I'd pay big bucks if the program did that! In fact, if it did that, I might leave it on too much and never get anything done! :wink:

Very nice! Will the weather effects be real-time, zip code based, as yanathin suggested? Also, will 2.0 be offered in a free or discounted form for those who already own the current version?

Thank you!!! I remember spending hours staring at that screensaver when I was 6-7 years old.

Did that. Only problem is that Riverland doesn't show up in the Pocket Candy dropdown, so I can't select it. RiverLand runs OK on it's own, though fast. (it is registered). Pocket Candy works fine too. Just doesn't have Riverland in it's list.

Asked in your forums too, but saw you were checking in here.

FOUND IT: needed the Riverland.scr in the Pocket Candy directory
