Aliens Screwed My Beer! - A comedy game

Miglioshin · Wed 18/05/2011 22:18:57

Hi everyone!

This is my first game with AGS.
It will be a medium lenght game, I'm programming it in Italian but an english/american version is already in plan, hopefully with the help of someone that can adapt the jokes and the bad language in english...
It is in 16-bit colour with 800x600 res

The story:

An ordinary day our nameless hero enter his kitchen to have a cool beer but, unexpectedly, he can't find any.
Unluckily he soon realize that is Sunday and the nearest supermarket is closed, so he decide to
ask his absent-minded granpa (that lives with him); pointless since he's absent-minded!
But nothing's lost, our hero is an inventor and suddenly remeber that, among his crazy inventions, there might be one that comes in handy to retrieve his lost beer...
This little absence of beer, along with the unbearable thirst, will lead our hero to experience the biggest adventure of his life, filled with nonsense (hopefully funny and laughable) and strong language...

Release date expected: A.S.A.P.

EDIT: I resized and updated all the thread screenshots and added all the picture to this post

At first glance at the thread title (and thinking that I was still in GEN GEN) I thought you were really complaining about aliens....

The game looks interesting. I like your main character -he reminds me of something, but I can't put my finger on it.... Does your GUI really enable charting (lower left) and sewing (at right)? That's going to make for one hell of an interesting game!

Good Luck!

Maybe he reminds you of the singer in Guitar Hero III, or the main character of Brutal Legends...
I tried to draw a clichÃ¨d metalhead character, and those two games influenced me a lot in doing that.

Ehm... no.

The lower left icon is my first attempt for an 'options' icon, and for the other one is actually a jeans poket for the inventory...

But some of the earlier quests are actually including the assembly of the inventions.

Reminds me of Malcolm Young from AC/DC...

He's got a bit of a Hoagie thing going on, I reckon.

Looks like a fun game. All the best, Miglioshin

This looks really cool and unique...sucks I don't understand Italian!

Miglioshin · Fri 27/05/2011 18:25:33

Oh, don't worry about that...

I'll do my best to make an english version that will live up to the Italian one!

FamousAdventurer77 · Fri 27/05/2011 23:06:43

Yay! Unfortunately the extent of my Italian is pretty limited to whatever's close enough to French (my second language) and whatever horrifying results Google Translate produces.

Still, looking like a cool game so far!

The game is progressing at a good pace, so here is a little spoiler for you:

Our hero own an arcade machine in his room, that contains a minigame strongly and heavily inspired by Pitfall II:

Hi everyone!
I didn't posted for a long time but my project's still under construction.
It's taking longer than I initially expected, but I'm all alone...

ATM I'm really close to releasing a short Italian Demo (I miss about 2 screens, a Gui and some descriptions) and if nothing will go wrong... **cross fingers**

Imho it's time for a small update so here follow some screens to increase your expectations! (

)

A room a house cannot miss:

Our Hero fighting with his fat and lazy dog:

A SHARK!? IN A POOL!? WEARING A LIFEBUOY AND SUNGLASSES!? AM I SERIOUS!?

Crop circles in the backyard meadow!? O_O

Hi everyone,
I am really close to a demo release, but there is a question that popped up in my mind:

Since the demo release will be in Italian, is there someone who can actually play it (here around)?

Otherwise I will include an ENG translation (that I have yet to do) BEFORE the release... (and not after a while)

Two more pics for you:

Cheers!
