Title: Asylopole Sci-fi adventure game
Post by: Pixoala on Sun 23/10/2016 11:16:17
Hello ! I'd like to present an old-school adventure game: Asylopole (inspired by classics such as Monkey Island, Blade runner, Sanitarium,...).
On this project, I've been doing almost everything (story, writing dialogs, art, music,...).

Overview:
Asylopole is a satirical old-school adventure game set in a dystopian future. You play the role of Adam Murdock, a psychiatrist working in a gigantic asylum. Get inside your patients' heads to find out what's gone wrong. Experience totally new universes and fight your patients' worst nightmares...

- 90's feeling
- Varied gameplay: exploration, puzzles, fights,...
- Rich content: quests, mini-games, network (Ultranet),...

- Gain EXP and increase your stats
- Eat nice Fastbouf burgers ( look at that sauce dripping down ! )

Looks interesting, any ETA on its release date?
Or are you still a very long way away from completion. :)

Looks great! And interesting story!
Good luck with it. (nod)

BTW, I can't spot the cursor? Did you invent a P&C game without cursor? I'm intrigued. ;)

Sorry if I do mistakes (French here).
Thanks guys ! :) The release date is for "winter 2017". I worked in any spare time I can find since... 2007.
It's a really passion project made with heart. ^^
You move the character with keyboard or a controller in a easy way. :wink:

Hoooly...! This looks amazing, and sounds even better than it looks 8-0 Looking at the video, I instantly thought of Jay Tholen's upcoming "Hypnospace Outlaw" (though no connection can really be drawn since you've been working on this project for almost ten years). In any case, I'm loving it, very "outside the box" in so many ways.

Wow thanks !
Funny you say that because I support and give a few bucks to the kickstarter campaign of Hypnospace Outlaw.^^

I launch on 25 october a campaign too and I'm... stressful.
Anyway, thanks for the kind words guys. :)

All I need is a better press coverage. It's the hardest part. :X

That looks like a perfectly normal thing to see. (nod)
Nothing strange or unusual here at all. Except maybe how white that giant head's teeth are.
