The station is the first scene that I've modeled and have a lot of proble=

Yes I know, I'm planning to use an image as subtitle but I've to decide w=

 something as: "Hello, I'm Elena. My grand talked a lot to me about you. =
Now I will bring you at home so you can leave your stuff and rest" and in=
 the house:"your room is the last on the right. take a look around if you=
 want"

No, in facts... I've only used some sound to make this ambiensts a little=
 more alive but i will ask if I still use this sounds.
by the way, I've noticed the errors messages but I haven't check the uppe=

unfortunately the other zones is not ready: one, because the terrain is n=

 see I can release it anyway!

p.s.
Is a problem if a change Pipmak Windows executable icon?
