At last, after years of sleep I am proud to announce that BEASTS - Deluxe, is well progressing.
Synopsis.
You are a mob enforcer ... After your last big mission, your boss assigned to guard an abandonned mantion for him. Holidays ...
A few days for the law to forget about you and your teammate, nuzzly Angelo.
This all looked like a nice resting time.
You have been here for a couple of days, until you are awaken at dawn by a loud scream that made your blood run cold ... Not for long ... You jump in your trousers and are determined to figure out what is happening on here.
History of the game
This is a remake of a old old game of mine.
BEASTS ( avalaible on AGS game page ) here : http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=380
The first was made in 1994, released with the ags engine on 2004 , and here we go ...
This is not a simple remake, I rewrote all the scenario, added much rooms, puzzles etc ... Even the story is a little different. If you want to feel the difference between both of them, you should try the older one ( as ugly as it is )
And I tryied to improve the graphics aswell ... That is what took me so long.

Never played the original, but I like the new art style, very colorful - reminds me somewhat of 'Bud Tucker in Double Trouble' (http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/bud-tucker-in-double-trouble/screenshots).
Maybe you could make a commentary mode where you explain the changes from the original? Could be very interesting to hear how your approach to game design changed throughout all those years.
Best of luck with the project!
I played the original and liked it a lot. I didn't think the graphics were "ugly" at all! Anyhow, this new and improved version looks awesome. Great, great graphics! (yes, I *am* known for my eloquent wording, there's more where that came from...) ;D
Very cool. Looking forward to this.
