This is VERY WORTHY of a mention...!!!
« on: 11 Feb 2004, 09:32 »
Ok people I don't usually condone spamming or shameless advertising, but this is a production worth watching! It's a trailer for a game called Enclosure made with AGI, and this movie is pretty cool.

The link is: http://home.deds.nl/~femo/premiere.htm

I hope the author/s don't mind for linking to this site, since it (hopefully) only promotes positive actions ie - awareness of the game... blah...blah...

The original site for the project, and others like it is: http://home.deds.nl/~femo/

Also when watching the movie, try to keep in mind that it is AGI, and is slightly more complicated than AGS (scripting/graphics wise)

That was actually quite well-done.  I enjoyed watching it.  There were little splices in the audio that were a bit annoying, but overall it definitely had that Hollywood thriller movie trailer feel.  Thanks for the link.

For a trailer, I think it was pretty damn good! It's probably the first time ever I've felt I've wanted to play an AGI game, that's for sure.

I agree with Erwin, it does feel very much like The Thing, but with perhaps a little more commercial storyline. The music splices didn't bother me too much, I imagine they're spliced simply to fit with what's going on on screen.

True, but the trailer was made with Flash. I wouldn't be expecting half of the effects in the trailer to be in the full game, but I could be wrong.

Still, great stuff!

I liked the trailer a lot. I agree with Mods on it actually maknig me want to play a game in that style.

What did I miss though. At the end, when the one guy is asking for proof durnig their seance? The lights go out and come back on. Was one of the people missing? I think something happened, and I missed it.

Plus the spelling error in the middle kinda bugged me. "Some came to proof ghosts don't exists." (or something)

Very impressive trailer indeed. The only thing that bothered me a bit though was the "ripped" music, if I'm not mistaken it was taken from Sleepy Hollow.

The trailer does credit Danny Elfman for the music if that helps. I don't really mind, plus it suited the trailer.

Hehe, I've been playing the game a little and it seems very promising. The movie inspiration sources are very obvious though. Other than The Thing,  the beginning and the main character and his girlfriend are very similiar to the couple in Hitchcock's Family Plot.

That trailer looks great, it seems to sell the game with false pretenses though, with the music, AGI games can't have that quality (beeps).

but it looks like a game worth playing, although I tried it on my computer, and the intro works fine, but after the intro the game seems to only show every second line and flickering (where the helicopter you're controling is)

unless it's some kind of effect, I'm not sure if it will work properly on my PC, XP pro, I haven't tried to play any AGI games since getting XP, so I'm not sure if they do work, although it seems to be using NAGI which I've heard of but never used, is it an AGI emulator?

I played this game a while ago when they announced it, and I have to say it is one of my favourite games ever. It's up there along with SQ3, so thats how much I rate it... great story.
