Quasar
Spending too much time on a spaceship can make anybody edgy. Can the crew of the Quasar nevertheless learn to cooperate?

A high-resolution adventure game in six rooms, the main point of the game is to explore the possibilities of having multiple characters. You can switch between four of the crew members that each have their own skill set, and their own reactions to hotspots and to other characters.
Well, you can't switch characters at the beginning, because the characters are angry at one another and you need to figure out how to make them not angry any more. Once you've done that, you can switch. The puzzles in here shouldn't be too hard, it's mostly about exploring the different reactions.



Full release, v1.1. Feedback, suggestions, and bug reports welcome.

Art by Elissa Ng; portraits by Joel Philip Page; music by Petros Tsoulkas; and script by yours truly. Includes a voice pack as well as French and German translations.

Played through the opening so far, will spend more time on this one soon. LOVE the character portraits. Are they modelled off of real people? They're very impressive. And the setting is great. Most scifi is more about BUHH ALIENS and not enough about man this ship is small and I hate it here.

If you're looking for voice actors I wouldn't mind trying my hand at it.

I based my pencil drawings off of photographs and painted them on the computer. Elissa did some great touch-ups after they were scaled down.

Good stuff. A simple tale told most elegantly. I especially loved the way every character thought another character would know what the machine on the bridge was for.  ;D

Up against some tough sci-fi competition in the January freeware releases mind.

Yay! Let's hear it for the guy who introduced two of the three female voice-overs for this game. Anyway, did my friend contact you? She hasn't responded to my second message either.

We've got all voices done except for Florent's, and a German and French translation are coming up. Stay tuned!

Just finished playing this the other day. Well done! Lovely graphics/animations/dialogues and I especially liked the portraits.  I wonder what that strange machine on the bridge does...?
