Aetus:Vita (check first post for update)

alimpo83 · Fri 15/09/2006 17:51:43

Hello people. I've been away for some time, had a lot of work to finish college and so. But now I'm back with my old project, "Aetus:Vita". In the past months I've evolved a bit on using Brice 5 and Anim8or, so I dumped my old work and started from scratch. As for the story just a few changes, but basically the same. In the end of the post some screenshots, still W.I.P, but I'm using them for test.

Game Title:

AETUS : VITA (it means "life age")

Story:

The year is 2212. Life on earth is becoming unbearable. Wars, pollution, pillaging... our dear planet is dying. Somewhere in Asia(Well, Siberia) cientists discovered four stone discs with engravings(in 1943). After careful studying of the hieroglyphs they find them to be portals that lead to wormholes, leading to strange planets and dimensions. Only by going to those places human civilization will find the answers and the cure for earth. You need to start a new Aetus,a new age, the Aetus:Vita.

You play as Jonathan Nex, a scientist who is sent to these new worlds, without knowing what to expect and with little support from earth.

The game will be first person, like the Myst series.

The game will be divided in five worlds:

- Ignis (fire world)
- Terra (earth world)
- Ventus (wind world)
- Aqua (water world)

And finally Crystallus, the light and crystal world.

STATUS REPORT:

IGNIS

- story 100%
- graphics 80%
- puzzles 10 %
- scripting 10%
- music/sound 0%
- videos: 0%

All the rest, except story, 0%.

And the new screenshots (February 2007)

An Aquatian EggPlant test

Small Teaser in Youtube - don't expect nothing fancy, I was rendering stuff and decided to make it!

Hello all. For those who are looking forward to play my game, have another screenie!

It's part of the second world, Terra.

I have already all the Terra background screens ready, now it's time to script and all.
After that, a demo!

By the way, where do you people host your demos and games? The demo will be at least 40 megs without videos and voices.

alimpo83 · Sun 24/09/2006 16:41:51

Another screenie fot those who care

. It's in Terra.

I'm working at a steady pace.Check for more info soon.

Gord10 · Sun 24/09/2006 18:07:32

They look very nice. The mix of ancient mystery and hi-tech always interests me.
They are in-game screenshots, are they?

alimpo83 · Sun 24/09/2006 18:32:40

Yes, they are

. It's almost done the demo, I'm just cleaning some sprites and finish scripting and stuff. Thanks for the support.

The Ivy · Mon 25/09/2006 15:20:46

This is looking very good! I'm really looking forward to playing this. Will you encounter any other characters in the game?

alimpo83 · Mon 25/09/2006 19:03:40

In the demo you will only find two characters, one in Ignis, other in Terra, but besides that a lot are referred... You'll just have to wait and see! Thanks for the support.

BTW, I've asked before, but noone answered. Where can I find a good FREE file hoster? The demo will be a large download (about 30-50 megs) and I need a good hoster. If you can help, please do so!

Buckethead · Mon 25/09/2006 19:13:04

www.rapidshare.de claims to go up until 300mb

monkey0506 · Mon 25/09/2006 20:14:28

You could use YouSendIt.com and just re-upload every 7 days!

LimpingFish · Mon 25/09/2006 23:35:34

You could just upload it the americangirlscouts.org FTP server.

I'm sure someone will tell you how.

EDIT: Actually, that won't work. Sorry

alimpo83 · Mon 25/09/2006 23:43:16

Thanks everybody. BTW Limpingfish I want to play Heartland!Finish it soon

alimpo83 · Sun 01/10/2006 13:51:55

Here's another screenie from the game. The demo is almost done!

Nikolas · Sun 01/10/2006 17:53:38

The scrennies look awesmoe!

do you plan on releasing the whole game as screenshots?

It's been a couple of months in this thread and already we've seen the 2 worlds and a lot of screennies. This is a game that I want to play, when it is released

:D:D:D:D

Just an idea I guess...

And of course looking forward to the demo (plus want to see what you did with the music...)

alimpo83 · Sun 01/10/2006 22:08:11

The demo has 33 different backgrounds! I've just shown 4 or 5, not planning on releasing anymore till I launch the demo. Besides you've seen some screenies, but you don't know the relation between them

I plan lauching the demo in a week, 10 days the most . I'm still working on some of the final scripts(I'm no scripter, but had a lot of help from some guys like Ashen), as the graphic work has been completed like two-three days ago.

About the music, you'll hear. I think it's really great! 8)
