Enjoyed it,

Spoiler

especially the Scabb island map. Is it an easter egg, or a plot element?

I like the game, it has a good atmosphere and the graphics are very original.

Found a bug:

Spoiler

After I moved the garbage can to the ladder and looked at it again, the game still says 'if I could get it away from the bum, I might just be able to use it to get to the fire escape.'[/hide}

Kaputtnik, cyrus and neon Thanks for giving the demo a try. I am glad you all enjoyed. Thanks for the very extensive critque Kaputnik I can see man of your points and probably agree with most unfortunately as a one man team my full fledge idea for this game can't really be reached, but you always have to make some sacrifices. and cyrus no that really isn't a spoiler I used a template for the scumm engine and that was one of the rooms included in the template which I have not erased yet. Neon thanks for the bug report working on fixing it now again thanks and I encourage anyone else to give it a try and post your thoughts

And maybe you shouldn't

What do the others think?

Computer crashed...lost most of my new work

We're sorry :'( Will the project be revived?

That's sad and the worst thing that I can image to happen when developing a game... $:-\$
[sorry_to_ask] Didn't backup your stuff? [/sorry_to_ask]

I am in love with this style of graphics. The black and white with a lil bit of color here and there is just brilliant! And the main character is really interesting. I don't think I've ever played a game before where the guy is a thief and the object of the game is just to steal stuff LOL. I'm really looking forward to this one whenever you get it done since your computer crashed.

QuoteI don't think I've ever played a game before where the guy is a thief and the object of the game is just to steal stuff LOL.

Then you've never played an adventure game!

Stealing IS the whole purpose of the game.

Dervish, shame you had computer problems. The game and playable character looked very interesting.

ArjOn - I did have it backed up to the point where the demo is right now so all that stuff exists thankfully, but... I had done quite a bit of work after the demo and that stuff has been lost

Cosmo- I really glad you enjoyed playing and of course there will be a plot to it beside stealing things but I am glad you liked the theiving parts to it.

Ryan - Thank you and I agree with you when you think about it many adventure game "heroes" are moralilly reprehensible. They feel like oh this isn't mine but it will help me out...I am sure this person won't mind if I "aquire" this.

Since you are not working on the game any more (IE it's not "in production") I'm going to lock this thread. Feel free to send Dervish a PM if you feel like trying to convince him to keep working on the game (as requested in his first post).
