Handy Entertainment Previews 'The Tribe' Screensaver
"Life of a hideaway tribal village goes all plain to see. A small thatch hutment is pitched in the jungles beneath a dormant volcano. Nor chucklesome aborigines all rapt in hunting and gathering coconuts, neither you can yawn through the seen. After sunset the neigbourhood resounds with a slam bang clatter of tom-toms. Chocolate brown aboriginal women perform a fiery belly dance. Meanwhile, really strange and incredible things are going on around..."
This software is scheduled to come out tomorrow (Monday)! In the (short) intervening time, you can preorder the product for a 20% discount. Take a look at the linked site -- the screenshots are amazing, and I hope this is a sign that VGA devices will be supported. 8)

I have the Riverland 1.0 screen saver, and I must say, it's REALLY nice. Well, until I got my x50v anyway... The strange thing about these pictures is that the sizes are 480x480, so if it in fact DOES support VGA devices, then it won't fill the entire screen. Let's see what happens, though...

I too have Riverland. Pretty cute stuff. I took it off mainly because I don't really need a screen saver on my PPC and I was spending too much time watching it  Guess I'll have to get this and suffer the loss of productivity for a while.

It does not work well with my VGA device =(
There are two black areas on the top and bottom since its resolution is 480x480. There are some display bugs too.

It doesn't work on the hx4700 either. In fact, it's worse, since there's a white bar at the top and two black bars in the middle. And I can't even register my copy because the key code is covered by on of the black bars.
