Hello everybody,

let me introduce myself.
I am Maurizio De Angelis, and I am honored to present you the project whose I am co-author along with my brother Francesco.

Detective Gallo is a point&click comic-noir adventure which is entirely hand-illustrated and hand-animated, whose protagonist is a feathered and grumpy private eye struggling with a very tricky case. The story tells about five exotic plants that have been victims of a serial murder. Thanks to the support of his cactus assistant (yes, you understood well!), it will be up to Gallo to investigate, interrogating bizarre characters e solving puzzles that will put his insight and his patience to the test.

This is insane! Can't even fit my screen! 8-0
Looks awesome and sounds very intriguing!
Good luck with the project. (nod)
There are those who believe that life here began out there...

Texmurphy78

Thanks! ;)
Do you mean Detective Gallo would not fit to your PC screen because the game resolution is too high?

Cassiebsg

Well, that is the size of my screen res... but I never play anything full-screen anymore, so... But no big deal, AGS has scale down now. ;)

Looks sweet!  Haven't seen many cartoon-style AGS games like this one.

Texmurphy78

The screenshots look great!

Great Scott, this looks awesome!! :-D

I noticed you're from Italy - I'm getting really strong Italian Disney Comics vibes from these screenshots! Paperino & Co. FTW! :=


Texmurphy78

Yes, I confirm that!
If you know Disney Italian style, you'll be aware of great artists like Giorgio Cavazzano and Corrado Mastantuono, to whom I got inspiration :)
