FALLEN LEGEND: An Epic Horror Adventure

Middle-aged book author Peter Lewis retreats to the Canadian Rockies to gather influence for his next book. Ideally situated in a remote lonely wooden lodge on the side of a lake, Peter's idea of peace is somewhat shattered after a string of endless nights' sleep...Where are those screams and chants coming from?

With a craving to investigate, he delves deep into the heart of the mountains...deep into the depths of the forest...deep into an unimaginable adventure of pure terror.

Hey, this looks very very good. In spite of the lens flare.

The concept sounds like it could make a very nice adventure game. Good luck with it!

neon · Wed 16/07/2008 09:10:36

Very nice graphics. Will this be free or commercial?

If there's one thing I hate, it's lens flare. But I REALLY needed that look in there to set the opening scene.

It will be commercial. We will however release a playable demo in due course.

Brad Newsom · Wed 16/07/2008 12:38:18

If you want to go commercial, never use photoshop filters. They look horrendous, especially with the beautiful artwork underneath it. Find otherways to create lighting. Just NEVER use photoshop filters (except blur, sharpen, and the more subtle ones)

Great! What GUI and inventory are you using?

Dualnames · Wed 16/07/2008 14:08:17

MODS in it. Nice..you got yourself a team.

DazJ · Wed 16/07/2008 16:17:21

I've removed the lens flare from the game

We're using our own designed GUI which is very similar to Broken Sword's and so far it seems to be working great.

Yep, Mods' in it

Akatosh · Wed 16/07/2008 16:22:43

I'm not all too happy with the looks of the character in the second screenshot (especially the "smooth" scaling), but on the overall, this seems like a potentially neat game. Not sure if it will be Epic, but it does seem to have at least some potential.

Also, m0ds in your team = instant win.

DazJ · Wed 16/07/2008 16:29:06

Thanks.

Regarding the character's scaling, that's more or less a technical issue that I can't really do anything about. He needs to scale smoothly and that seems to be the best AGS can do, unless anyone knows of another way? Send me a PM if ya can help.

Makeout Patrol · Sat 19/07/2008 07:25:57

Those backgrounds are amazing.

Yeah but everybody knows Mods ONLY makes midi music. That's a bit hard to sell.

Nikolas · Sat 19/07/2008 14:37:26

Best of luck to this project. It looks quite lovely and I'm sure that mOds will create some great music for the game!

DazJ · Sat 19/07/2008 16:53:52

Thanks guys.

Midi by the way can be just as effective if it's right for the style of game. It also helps create great atmosphere.

m0ds · Sun 20/07/2008 14:29:50

Hehe...it's not going to have MIDI music! This year I've been concentrating on digital stuff. Thanks for the kind words! From what I've seen and learnt of it so far though Fallen Legend looks great! So I will try & help do it justice. Or just feck it all up

Good luck DazJ & team

DazJ · Sun 20/07/2008 14:35:13

You won't feck it up

If you did, I'd tell my mum on you.

A few more backgrounds are currently being worked on as I type this. Everything's still going smoothly, fingers crossed!

hedgefield · Mon 21/07/2008 14:16:31

Cool, looks good. It reminds me a little of Alan Wake. I love the graphics style!

Cyrus · Mon 21/07/2008 14:53:12

As I've noticed, your game has a lot in common with Broken Sword.

What does it have in common with Broken Sword?

Nikolas · Mon 21/07/2008 15:05:27

The title:

They both have the letter "E" on the 5th letter, and they both end in the letter "D"!
