Can't go wrong with a good horror/zombie/survival/adventure game. This looks like it's going to be rather excellent!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey..hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Nobody said anything about zombies. This game does not feature zombies. AT ALL. NO ZOMBIES. AT ALL. UNDERSTAND? :=
Let's be honest. Most people suck at coding. I suck at coding, but at least my code is readable. To Hell with anyone too lazy to maintain consistent formatting in their code. I could deal with bad interfaces and structure if I could even read your horrible code. And that's putting it nicely. -monkey

I looked at the shots again, did you do all this from scratch? It looks exactly like Monkey island everywhere.
It's all from scratch. Outside of following a really similar style, which is due to the fact that this game is part homage, there isn't anything in the game that is taken from or even intentionally referencing to Monkey Island. I really want this to be it's own game, and not bogged down by constant winks and nudges. There will be some winks and nudges, but very sparingly overall.

Also, because I know someone will bring this up eventually, the campfire scene isn't a reference to Monkey Island 2. I can't see a game about a camp without campfires and campfire stories, so I just decided to bite the bullet of unoriginality and go for it.  :D

Devise the puzzles. Destroy the hero. Defeat the player.

Haha, yup! Nice catch.

He does? Let me compare them.....uh wow...you're right. He kind of does!

That's it, there's too much homaging going on in this game! The game is canceled!

Okay, the game isn't really canceled.

That's a woman.

Nope. Although he might as well be. In order to help clear this up, I updated the first post to talk about some of the characters.

Yeah..a character with red-hair and below average vision. It could only be Wally. :P

It actually reminds me a lot of Goosebumps, especially Give Yourself Goosebumps series. Will it have one ending or more?

At this stage, I'm definitely planning multiple endings of a sort.

And again, I really do appreciate all the nice comments, guys! Anyway, back to work for me.

Aren't all adventure games Choose Your Own Adventures?

I'm a fan of not knowing everything before playing a game, and giving away how endings are handled and such is getting a little too deep into spoiling the game for others. I'm also going to fight walkthroughs on this game as much as possible. I won't mind if people help each other out in the hints forum, but I won't want walkthroughs written for the game. I think walkthroughs ruin the point of a game, and I'm going to stand pretty firm on that point.
