hey guys,
this is my as of yet unamed work in progress game. Ive gone through many starts and stops of games but i really think this one is guna work.
you play dave (yup boring old dave) a hard working err worker at a eclair factory. Too keep yourself living under a roof you have been working night shifts at the factory.
now this doesnt seem to bad for Dave, he's happy with his life and he's been told he is a very good worker. But you see when your working all night you tend to get tiered, and when you get tiered you loose concentration. This being the main problem for Dave here.
*athem* to cut a long (intro sequence) story short he ends up leaving an eclair on the cream insertion tube fo way too long and it ends up with him blowing up the factory and becoming a wanted criminal ;D
*edit just for minime* well kinda newayz, you se the police department think it was an act of terrorism and are trying to find the ring leader, the more you ask about the 'incident' the more suspicion you raise. If this gets too high then its in the slammer for you boy, which you then have to escape from, and get a change of clothes.
does anybody think this is a too strong story to play as it is a large part of the game, i have a backup story whick could also work but im nto sure.
Soo,
The game features high colour 640/480 resoloution graphics
A (kinda) unique attention meter telling you how suspicious you look infront of the pigs
Loads of diolouge, full screen animation
and the satisfaction of playing it
I am not too far into the game yet but once ive got a reasonable amount done i may need some music writers.
oh, and here's some screenies for ya
The main character, Dave

Hey-i love those graphics of yours.The story is also quiet interesting.Wish you luck with your game.
That looks great! As Nixxon said, I love the expression on his face :) The lake looks really good aswell!
Great looking pictures, and awesome story, except for the being criminal. When I read the intro story, I got sucked down the rabbit hole with my imagination, and I began to feel sorry for this hard worker. Maybe you can tell us more about the person in your game, like that we get to know him better. GREAT JEEAAAUURRBBB!!! (http://www.homestarrunner.com/cantsayjob.html)
The game does look promising, I just wanted to point out that the fjord looks a bit odd. Grass running all the way down to the water? Bridge? Usually ferries travelling back and forth every 20 minutes to an hour, or even just once a day depending on how many lives there, are used because a bridge would both be uneconomical and cause an uproar due to them looking pretty ugly.
Feel free to ignore me if you happen to live near a fjord such as this however.
thanks for the crit guys ;D
minimi i added a little more info for you
*edit just for minimi* well kinda newayz, you se the police department think it was an act of terrorism and are trying to find the ring leader, the more you ask about the 'incident' the more suspicion you raise. If this gets too high then its in the slammer for you boy, which you then have to escape from, and get a change of clothes.
does anybody think this is a too strong story to play as it is a large part of the game, i have a backup story whick could also work but im not too sure abouts it.
oh and esseb, im guna make a few changes to the fjord to make it look more real i'll post the update l8r, for now im guna try nd get sum beauty sleep seing as its 23:46.
keep it coming

Looks good mr. O..S..D..
....
looks outstanding dude! i kinda agree about the ferry. it might make more sense. the big ass bridge looks out of place in the rural area. ou could maybe add some cliffs or a beach in or something t make the waters edge more varied? would you mind if i did a paintover? just for fun?
I think the story sounds pretty good!
Would the suspicion thing be an in-game meter (a la Grrr! Bearly Sane)?

It's that bored expression you get when you're doing some amazingly repetitive job for hours. Kinda like "Geoffkhan working on the scripting for Apprentice 2". Whoops, you didn't read that, Big Brother.
Back to work!
Hey! Who let you out of the cage?
Get back to work, you lazy dog, or I'll beat you with your own legs!
wow, new posts ;D lmao i thought this topic was dead, i kinda gave up on the game due to lack of interst in the storyline
well that leaves me with a big dilema (sp?) i now have two games in production, this one which is in 640/480 resalotion and another one which is set in medievil times which is 320/240 resalotion.
hmm, looks like im in a bit of a pickle. What should i do guys? 1 ive done the main character walking animations, 3 bg's and two other animations. And the other ive done main character walking animations and 1 bg.
i could work on both ... or leave one aside for a while, i dunno
you decide
thanks
-a chicken
oh and to BigBrother,
yes the suspicion meter would be a lot like grr bearly sane, i'd jus finished that when i decided to work on this :P
ohh and zootyfruit, feel free to do a paintover, it would be really apreciated.
cheers

I think the storyline is very good! And the graphics are very well done too. You shouldn't give up on your game!
What I think you could do, (and these are the 2 cents of a guy who has yet to finish an AGS game :P) is that you could work on both games, just not of the same time. Ie, you work on one game for a while, and when you feel tired and/or fed up with it, you resume working with the other one, and this will be refreshing, in a way.
Just a suggestion, of course. ^_^
yeh good idea lazy ;D
thats what i was planning on doing anyway, at the moment im working on the 320 game, im not guna post a games in production tread on this one tho cus im hoping that it will be finished in a couple of months ... so look out!
thanx
-a chicken
okay osc got you a mini paintover. not much but it took a while. hope you like it.

if you can't see it the address is

edit. okay the links aren't working but drag and drop.
you should add a slash "/" to the img at the end of the line, in front of img
(http://www.freewebs.com/guy_liar/water.gif)
... and i guess you should also use anonymizer, but i forgot the link ;D
You should really come up with a title for this game: it looks great. How about:
"Eclair case of negligence" or better still...
"The Choux bomber"
That has to be the best pun ever! You see, there was this terrorist who said he had a bomb in his shoe... and shoe sounds like "choux" which is the type of pastry used for eclairs...
Oh never mind...
I would just like to let everybody know that this game is still in production AND GOING STRONG!
ive uploaded the slightly changed map screen but i wont give out any more screenies until the release.
i'll keep you updated regularly now
cheers
-OSC
I have to say that this game looks brilliant OSC! You have a lovely eye for graphics - infact, you have two ;-) lol.

-nath
Your welcome mate.
That bit of encouragement always makes you...well...feel encouraged, lol.
So you have a tablet eh? I bet they're well handy for drawing. I might consider purchasing one myself. Knowing my luck though I'd end up with a box of paracetemols.
Your pal who never gets headaches, Daz.
lmao, yeh
i got the tablet a couple of days ago, offa ebay. Im already used to it ^_^
yeh, encouragment's good
Spoiler
hint hint, to anyone apart from daz

Looking reeeeeeeeally nice, I love those colourful graphics of yours. Great work, keep it up.
Looking forward to this, but please please fit the "Choux bomber" joke in somewhere as its too good to go to waste ;)

*goess and does some more work*
-OSC
Looks great OSC, about what time do you think it will be released????
ooohhh, AND how many screenS will it be roughly?
hey messenger,
yeh the game will probally be about 10-15 playable rooms. And should be done by summer.
-OSC
OSC, I'm definagtley ,looking forward to this game. I love the graphic style, and the idea just sounds brilliant.
I read in the Critic's Lounge that you were unhappy with it, and might cancel the game. Well, if you are truly unhappy, go ahead. I'm sure the members of the forums, including myself, can manage.
But if you still want the game to continue, but don't feel you can make it by yourself, by all means, ask for help. I'm sure there's lots of people on the forums who could help with graphics and music and the such.
