Alum update: Release is drawing nigh!

First of all, we wanted to thank everyone for being supportive and trusting us to make an awesome adventure game. Now, down to brass taxes!... We are almost completely done with the game. We've pretty much got the graphics, GUI, puzzles, programming, sound fx, and music on lock-down. It's just about to the point where it's a matter of cutting the audio for the voice-overs, dropping them in and mixing them in AGS. After that, some final play-testing and the game will be ready for release! Also, I wanted to thank everyone who voted for us on steam... We have been greenlit and are excited to release on PC, Mac, and Linux!


Anyway, enough of the small talk... Here are some new exclusive screenshots for the AGS community:



and a little run animation I ended up throwing on Micah towards the end of programming the game (which he was none too happy about, until he found a spot to put it in the game and settled down ;) ).



We are just about 95% of the way to completion. We are so excited (and slightly nervous) to share the game with everyone, and we hope all the extra effort we put into polishing the game pays off. Again, thank you all for the support and encouragement. Please keep on the look-out for release. Cheers, AGS crew!

This game sounds really good.  $10K is quite a bit, but I wish you luck in getting it.

Great job so far, the visuals are beautiful.

It reminds me of the PSOne version of FF7 or 8, can't remember.
The backgrounds are really nice.
Good luck with it!
Working on a RON game!!!!!

Bump.  I just backed this.  It will be a shame if you don't make the goal.  I hope the game still gets made regardless :)

This looks really interesting - all the best with your funding campaign and development.

Note to self:
If I ever start a Kickstarter campaign, make sure to get John Walker from RPS involved before it's too late.

This time yesterday I thought you had no chance.  Now I'm starting to think it can be done :-)

Same.  I hope you guys manage to get the last few hundred dollars!

KodiakBehr

We're rooting for you!

Stupot

Well blow me, you've only gone and done it :-)

dactylopus

Congratulations, guys.  You managed to pull it off at the last minute.

Kudos!  Can't wait to see how the game turns out.  I wasn't able to back it, but I will certainly be playing it when all is said and done.

Retro Wolf

I had a feeling it was going to be funded at the last moment! Congratulations!

Matt Frith

Congrats guys!
