Ummm... I'm confused.

Is this a[nother] game you're working on?

If so, you still need at least 2 in-game screenshots (this video only shows one).

Please update!

Well, despite (or maybe because of) the choppy sound quality, this was a suitably unnerving video

I look forward to seeing some more.

Very frightening and disturbing. Nice music. But what's up with the framerate in that video? Try different software next time (I use Growler GunCam, it's free I think) and maybe experiment with the editing. Windows Movie Maker isn't as bad as you'd think;) -I know this isn't a forum for critique and all that, but I think how you sell your idea really matters and can leave a lasting impression if you put your whole heart into it.

Hi,

yes I agree and I will change stuff once I get fully conversant with Software and Frame-rates.

I will include new ones as they are prepared.

Meanwhile the game is coming on nicely

This is looking wonderfully creepy!

The framerate is still a bit slow, but LOVE all the spooky sound effects and music.

Please keep us updated with your progress

Slasher · Wed 22/01/2014 19:24:11

The Frame rate was set to 1 per second which is the best I'v had so far.

Here you are Frodo:

This has since been amended...

More soon...........

Loving the screenshots Slasher

Your artwork is amazing. And the story intrigues me.

And that severed finger is nice and icky.

I volunteer for bug testing, when the time comes.

Thanks Frodo

Here is a latest Screenshot:

What is the 'Book?'
What does it hold?
Who is the mysterious character that wants it?

Hmmm ... some of us might find out about that ...

You work very hard on your game, making fast progress.
Keep on the good work!

Mandle · Sun 02/02/2014 08:21:00

Looking great so far there Slasher! Love the game's name too...very fitting

Can't wait to see more of this project!

Ibispi · Sun 02/02/2014 23:04:37

I agree with everyone else; from the screenshots the game sure looks creepy. The very peculiar graphic style helps that as well.

Slasher · Mon 03/02/2014 20:45:41

Hi,

Thank you for all your comments. I'm working hard on this game to make sure everything works fine and that it reflects the chosen subject.

This game will contain some horrific scenes that will disturb some people of a weak disposition.

Here you are arriving at the Pig's Head Pub (Updated) before being told that Miss Dolcet Brown has been found murdered, she'd been slashed to pieces!:

If you fancy doing any cockney VA drop me a PM

New screenshots in production:

At the murder scene of Miss Dolcet Brown. The mad murderer has left a symbol drawn in blood on the wall!!
(EDIT: Characters Tinted red as requested by Mandle)

New Inventory LookAt system:

Mandle · Fri 07/02/2014 11:44:10

Man...that first pic in the new post set in the red-bricked passage looks totally moody and cool...

It would be nice if you tinted the characters reddish as well like the characters are tinted blueish in the tavern scene...

But anyways...I think you have hit your stride with this project...Don't change the graphics style at all...This grainy Victorian Era newspaper-photo chromolithograph style is exactly what is needed for this game...

I personally love this kind of Gothic horror, Cthulhu By Gaslight stuff so keep it coming!!!
