What's the current progress, Grundislav?

** sigh **

The entire world has completely forgotten how to read.

As stated in the FORUM RULES:

DO NOT dig up old threads!!
If you're interested in an old thread* about a project don't post asking about the progress.  Send a PM to the game's author.  If the project has been cancelled and/or abandoned there's no point in bumping the thread!

* Old Threads are threads that have been inactive for near to over 1 month OR are no longer on the first page of threads.

Now ... I know that the forum rules in here can be easy to overlook ... you know, always at the top in all capital letters and in bold print saying "READ FIRST" but please ... look over them.

Grundislav - I know you're still working on this, so now that it's been dug up ... how about an udate to the thread?

thanks buddy!

[Grundislav]

The game is a little closer to being done, about 3/5 of the way.Ã,  As you know, I've been away at Mittens the past week, so nothing new has really been done.Ã,  Hopefully now I can get back into the swing of things and chug along.

EDIT

I forgot to mention the subtitle of this game.  I guess I can show off the mock-up box art I did, currently in the possession of custard, who won it at Mittens:

Is there going to be any continuation throughout the series in the future games?

[Mats Berglinn]

It reminds me a little bit of the Zak McKraken boxart. Is that where you got in the inspiration for the poses of the characters? You know, Ben stands proudly with his leg standing on the zombie (or whatever that is, seems to be evil anyway) that is under him.

Ahhhh. Ben Jordan. I have played a ton of AGS games, but Ben Jordan is the only one I actually kept on my hard drive after beating. All four are good, quality games, and I can't wait for the next one. Being a real-life paranormal investigator (I have worked with TAPS, with the southern virginia ghost hunters society, and am the executive director of ESPER (www.theespers.org) ) this type of thing is my cup of beef stew, even when it's fictitious. I am working on a game about supernatural/occult investigation myself which is a little more gritty, based on a series of novels I wrote a few years ago that are getting ready to get published. So, I can tell all your fans, BEN JORDAN: PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR IS A REAL PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR'S GAME OF CHOICE!!!! Play it today! I can't wait for the fifth!

[MalleTheRedPhoenix]

A really funny subtitle.
I think that your fifth Adventuregame with Ben Jordan will be a great one like the others.
I hope, that he will travel to Germany in an other game.

[Mordalles]

yay! ben jordan 5! ive just recently joined here, but i made sure that i played the ben jordan series! great fun! i liked 3, with the code. i like logical puzzles inbetween my inventory based puzzles. 

yeah, cant wait.

along with he's gone historical, ure right up there. 

[Tom S. Fox]

I agree to Mulle, Ben Jordan should travel to germany.
I'm glad there was a german character in the last game, tough.
However, I'm looking forward to this game.
I've played all the other instalments and loved them.
But I'm still missing 2 points in part 3. Crap!

By the way, I've been watching an episode of "The Twilight Zone" a while ago, and one of the characters was called Ben Jordan!Ã, 

Hi, Mulle! Rate mal, wer ich bin!Ã,  Ã, 

[Corey]

Ben Jordan should come to the Netherlands and investigate my horror bedroom....
does any1 know his number ??

[Mats Berglinn]

By the way, I've been watching an episode of "The Twilight Zone" a while ago, and one of the characters was called Ben Jordan!Ã, 

Hmm... this might be an in-joke and a inspiration for the Ben Jordan series. Am I right, Grundislav?

[aussie]

Is BJ visiting Spain or Australia anytime soon?

[ildu]

I think a South American setting would be ideal in the future. Make him visit Maccu Piccu or somet.

[Corey]

like: Ben Jordan, Case 6: Mystery of the muddy mudman ?? 

[Hammerite]

What program do you use for graphics & sprites because they're much better than my MS Paint graphics.

:o"THEY ARE!?!"
:"Of course they are, stupid"

[Hamelkart]

Let me guess: GIMP?

[Hammerite]

I'll have to check that out. By the way is there a predicted release?

[piperhcombs]

Looks and sounds great. I don't mean to bitch, but isn't that clearly Chinese architecture in the first screenshot and not Japanese? Looks like it's done from a photo of the Shaolin Temple gates. Correct me if I'm wrong, but certainly the symbols on the sign aren't Japanese. I don't know if these kinds of things bug anyone else, but I've been coarse about people mixing up Japan and China, since the general misconception that ninjas are chineseÃ,  . Dates back to my ninja turtle times.

I speak Chinese and read some of it...have learned to from birth. I can tell you from experience that a lot of japanese symbols look EXACTLY the same aas Chinese symbols, though they may not have the same meaning. In fact Japan in Japanese looks the same as Japan in Chinese. Plus the writing on the temple thing is really too blurry to know for sure what the symbols are. Japanese architecture can look similar to Chinese architecture too. The Japanese really copied a lot from the Chinese, not that that'a bad or anything. They used the written Chinese language to form their own, so there really is no surprise that many characters are exactly the same.

Cool, I can't wait to play this game, I loved Case 3 and Case 4.

And I have a Question, Would you put some voices this time in the characters?, I think it will give more realistic to the game, but the important thing is that the puzzles being a good  challenge to our minds, like the others Cases of Ben

[sunshinegold]

Love your games.  Can't wait to play  Case 5.  Bravo for your talent.
