Editor's Note :
So sad to inform you that i don't have any files left on my old WIP called "Thrive - Project" because of a unwanted accident. So now, sadly i have to take everything about that WIP from the Net including the demo and screenshot. Instead of trying endlessly to recover the lost files, I've decided to move forward with another fresh project (well, not so fresh actually).


About the Project

I started on this project in 2002 as a practice project. I developed this game using complex User Interfaces, Hand drawn detail cartoon graphics, full animations. And finally It took a lot of my time and I was forced to leave it unfinished. Time goes on, and thankfully, after years, I've been able to recover the original concept arts, story lines, and almost everything back! except for the old game master files. So now I'm trying to rework on it with a brand new approach, more simpler graphics, simple interfaces and hopefully pushing it harder on the story lines to make the game more easy and simple to enjoy.

About the Game

The name of the Game is Greenback. A Classic Point and Click Game following the story of one Hugo Greenback, the grandson of a late and renowned explorer Sir Richard Greenback. This episodic game, will take you travel and go on an Adventure with Hugo, and meet amazing people, searching for treasures, visit exotic places, from the top of a luxury dining place to the depth of a catacombs, the excitements and mysteries are yours!

Next, are the Screenshots and some Artworks from the game (Will be updated periodically when there's changes or new entries)

I've been playing with this idea of a smarter vision, and i'm liking it so far! Not sure if it matters though, I just having some great fun doing this.



Lights On = You can see the hotspots, Lights Off = Well, it's dark..

Indeed! its been ages! what do you think of the visual representation now? kinda have to make this as minimal as possible so it wont take a lot of time to develop!

Yea man, eons and ages.  I had wondered whatever happened to your project, and I'm glad to see it here In Production!  I only vaguely recall the living room and bar scene graphics from your old build and so I can't really compare from memory; regardless the hallway/room looks really good and so does the shooting animation.

I've lost em all.. like everything, only able to found the scraps of preplan notes and concept arts, even had to remake the whole story for this one. Hopefully you can help again later when the game is in playable state!

(hope nobody will mind this little offtopic!) While on the game's IDB site, there's a "Profile" box on the right. Simply click the "Track this game" button in the "Game Watch" section. ;)
