How terrible!11

Holy crap. That's some big news!
Now all they need is a publisher - how about LucasArts?

Estaog · Sun 27/06/2004 11:43:34

Yes this magazine would be very interesting especially for hardcore fans like us.They should publish it!

Look shadowplay is #5! Congratulations errr.... Shadowplay author? GarageGothic? (I'm really really sorry, i cant remember)

Anyway, for me the biggest news is A VAMPYRE STORY!!
I can not believe that after YEARS of absolutley minimal interes in adventure games ( i think MI3 is the last one that really had the "thing"), I found an adventure which i am REALLY awaiting (all these AGS games are just plain very good, but no more, no offense $:-\$ ).

I didnt need to read that it was made by ex Lucas Arts employees, nor the stroy, i just saw the screens and i could FEEL that ENERGY!
Those from runaway were OK, but when i saw these!!

I still dont think its real. I cant believe i FINALLY found something for myself. I am deeply awaitng this one!

That's interesting.
I spoke to Bill Tiller once and he told me he was in the midst of designing a vampire related adventure game. I wonder if this is it?

Thanks Czar, I must admit I was pretty surprised too when I saw that list. And somewhat embarassed for not having updated the Shadowplay thread in games-in-production for ages - I also noticed that I was the only developer on the list who didn't have a website

Looks like Goldmund has some competition in the vampire genre now

The game sounds cool, and with all the old Lucas-guys on the team, it just can't fail. I just wish the graphics were a bit more... Tim Burton-like or something. Darker, dirtier, not quite so cutesy. I can't help be reminded of Gilbert Goodmate for some reason, but I certainty see the similarity to Curse of Monkey Island's graveyard scenes. I really like the drawing style of the character's face though, it reminds me of Gerald Scarfe's designs for Disney's Hercules. I know the game isn't supposed to be scary, but even the Halloweenland world (I know that wasn't the real name, but it was a Burton rip-off) in KQ7 had more atmosphere.

It's Bill Tiller's game fer'shaw.

Secret Fawful · Sun 27/06/2004 20:25:32

it think it looked fine myself 8)

Estaog · Sun 27/06/2004 20:26:09

The most interesting thing i saw was Sam and Max: The Case Gilbert. I always liked sam and max.Cant wait till it comes out.

Redwall · Sun 27/06/2004 20:59:35

Yep, same one.

rodekill · Wed 30/06/2004 06:45:26

Oh yeah.
I'm totally like... an insider or some shit.

Sam. · Wed 30/06/2004 15:28:13

you just said this, so you'd obviously played the games and liked them

but later said this, prroving that you hadn't played the games but wanted to rip sprites from them for a fangame

Quote from: Tanker on Wed 30/06/2004 09:26:20
Well it can happen, becuase if i play the game just to rip the sprites then i will ruin the story.I want to make the game, and then play the real one not just for the sake of the sprites, but for the goy of iy. (Did i just say that?)

anybody else spotting something wierd in tankers entrys?

Kinoko · Wed 30/06/2004 15:34:41

It's possible he loves Sam and Max from the comics... I'm guessing there'd be a fair few Sam and Max fans in the world who haven't played the game. (just throwing this out there, believe me, I had all the normal reactions to his posts too.)

Sam. · Wed 30/06/2004 17:51:16

Thats not what you're suppsed to say. you should say, Damn you tanker, damn you to hell. There were comics? WOw. which came first?

Redwall · Wed 30/06/2004 17:54:20

The comics...

You seriously didn't know Sam & Max was based on a comic?
