For some reason I always wanted to get a better look at the Ixupi. And with the SCI Resource Viewer you can see them, but alas not in their natural habitat. So I decided to make some myself: using my trusty screen recorder I shot films of every single Ixupi scare in the game, which I then printscreened and pasted together in Paint to create lovely""Ixupi Scare Comics". And then uploaded them onto my DeviantArt account. Ahh. Free web space.

Anyhoo, here's the first Ixupi scare:


Water Underground Lake
Water Janitor Closet
Water Main Hall
Electricity Generator Room
Electricity Man's Inhumanity To Man
Electricity Planetarium
Wood Myths & Legends
Wood Workplace
Wood Gods & Killings
Wood Secret Passage
Metal Strange Beasts
Metal Projection Room
Metal Bedroom
Cloth Tombs & Curses
Cloth Funeral Rites
Cloth Janitor's Closet
Tar Subterranean World
Tar Strange Beasts
Wax Library
Wax Shaman
Wax Myths & Legends
Sand Amazing Plants
Sand Mysteries Of The Deep
Ash Funeral Rites
Ash Office
Chrystal Main Hall
Chrystal Mysteries of the Deep

The "Tar Subterranean World" link is wrong; it points to a Wood one.

Ta! I can't edit my posts here, but at any rate, here's Tar Subterranean World:

Proudly presenting the video version!

(I added three images that are on the CD but not in game. Two are at the end and one, around the 2:00 mark, is part of an obscure animation, in the View folder, file 28021.v56. It has the workplace door opening, and behind it is a moose head. If you check the other animation loops, you can see it talking and blowing a raspberry. )

Fixed the link in the first post for you.

I'm learning to make animations right now, so I whipped up this little beast...

Aaahhh!

Hey hey!
A week ago, I received a lot of mail in my DeviantArt inbox, from a fellow Shivers fan who liked these comics I made very much. He requested if I could also make comics of the scares when you try to capture them with the wrong pot, and of the captures. Most of the wrong pot scares weren't too interesting (save Cloth), but an excuse for playing Shivers is an excuse for playing Shivers, so I got down to it and made 25 more comics. And, since I got the sound running, I finally got to make an Ixupi Scare Video!

What did you do to get it working?

Good question, I don't know. Last time I dug up Shivers I couldn't get the sound to work, not even with your installer. This time I set both installer and game to run in Win 98 compatibility mode, and the sound worked.

In the Miscellaneous category, when I was playing the Peg Solitaire, I suddenly recognized one of the Chinese characters on the "game" so I went out and researched the other three. Top left means "investigate" or "obstructive wooden fence", top right means "to study", bottom left means "to change, to reform", bottom right means "red".
