He's Gone Historical

[calacver]

hi, i made this game last year june with AGS. And finally got a chance to post it here. I know... it's been a while. Anyway here it is. Hope it's worthy

okay (first replie):

here are some screens. The pics are a bit distorted, that cause the game is played at 320x200 resolution.





The game is about a computer science student that must complete a project. He has only the weekend to do it. You must help him finish his project, but in so doing he finds an unexpected adventure ... like the name of the game saisÃ,  .

Wanna tell us a little bit about it? Maybe a picture? Maybe a synopsis?

This game is really cute.Ã,  Just starting act II and Love the nameÃ,  "Act two...Where the crap am I"Ã,  Ã, 

A lot of games I end up clicking through the dialog because it gets stale after awhile.  Not this one.  I have read every word so far and have laughed many times.

[calacver]

thanks. It was great fun making it.

[marlamoe]

Just finished the game.  I hope you do another one soon.

some additional info on the game:

the Erik dude, he speaks afrikaans. which is one of the 11 official languages in south africa.

if you are dutch, i think you'll be able to make out some of the words, since afrikaans and dutch are very similar.
the conversation between Erik and our hero are the funniest in the game, especially if you know afrikaans. maybe calacver can translate it here. if he wants to.

my name is Erik by the way, and Calacver is my brother.Ã,  i just logged in with his name.

Really good game, I enjoyed playing it. Was stumped a few times but with the help on hints and tips forum I was able to finish it. I hope you make more games!!

[calacver]

thanks for all the good replies. Thanks. I am maybe thinking of a He's Gone Historical 2. But only thinking.

[Rosie]

Really enjoyed playing your game. GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!
You had a very interesting cast of characters and it was fun.  Thank God for the hints forum though because it wasn't easy at certain spots, but that is needed for a good game.  Can't wait to see more of your work.

BRAVO  (clap, clap, clap)

Great game.  Waiting for a sequel.

I really got stuck quite a few times, but that is only normal for me.

Hope a sequel is in the making.

[calacver]

thanks to all who have played my game. I have decided to make a He's Gone Historical 2, but it will be a while before i have time.

thanks cyberion for telling me to post my game here. Your game looks really Excellent so far.

Yes, I really enjoyed your game as well.  There were a few spots that I had trouble with, for example, the pearl was a little pixel-hunty.  I could see it on the desk, but it wouldn't show up.  But the story was fantastic.  The dialogue was so funny, and the characters were very original. 

Also, maybe on the next one... and maybe others don't care about this, so feel free to ignore me at will  ... but one of my biggest pet peeves when I play a game is when you have to sit through the intro before you can load a saved game.  Yeah, I know I could click right through it, but maybe you could do a title screen, so you could load or start a new game.  Like I said, others may not care about that.  It could be just me.
