Topic: Between the Pillars of Creation

I think I finally have enough done to justify a posting under GiP.



   

   

Something I did for the April MAGS competition, where the theme was "Distorted Senses".  I thought I'd go back and do it right now.  WAY TOO MUCH had to be dropped in order to make the deadline.

The game can currently be played through to an ending... but it just doesn't work the way I envisioned.  Rooms were dropped, a side plot was dropped, puzzles were dropped.  You get the idea.

P.S. For the record, the Pillars of Creation are a real formation inside the Eagle Nebula.

Anything featuring the Eagle Nebula deserves a look! 
Great title - lovely graphics - interesting concept.

So even if it isn't quite what you originally had in mind, it's looking very good already!

"Between the Pillars of Creation" is back in active development.  Creating entirely new GUIs had been a MAJOR hassle and slowed progress to a crawl.  Anyhow, I will need a few beta testers to give the new GUIs a thorough look-see.  Please PM if you're interested.

For the record this was part of the April 2012 MAGs competition, so it does have an ending – but the arc, challenges, story, et cetera will grow beyond what is currently shown in the DEMO.

EDIT: I have the beta testers I need... for the moment.

I *think* the GUI / Interface is good.  Game was moving along until I realized that in order to internal conflict, I needed to show a strong contrast between the dialog of the characters and their actions.  Which meant a ton of animations!  And - no real surprise here - the game grew longer.

This game looks quite gorgeous. I'll be looking forward to it
