Title: Ben Jordan Case 5
Post by: Grundislav on Fri 01/04/2005 02:44:20
That's right! Here's the next case in the series, already well into production.Ã, 

This time, Ben returns to Dunesberg accompanied by Simon from Case 4, after getting a call from Annie Roberts.Ã,  It seems her husband has gone looking for the Lost Galleon again, and has been taken by the Wendigo, a desert monster!

As you can see, I've been experimenting with 3d, and have decided to take the series in a whole new graphical direction.  This also means I'm using the Wintermute engine, but I figured I'd post here to let everyone know.

Look for the game in a few weeks!

Wow, already? You're just producing these like a madman of some sort! Nice decision going with the 3D. It looks good! I can't wait for it to be released. I like that you're using characters from the other games, it ties it all in well!

Damn Grundislav, you know non-AGS games are not allowed here?
You're a traitor for not using AGS to continue on the series!
You had taken away the Carver Island games already, what do you want to do next? Ã, >:(

Nice!  ;D
Hope it gets finished soon!  ::)
So, of course I love more the outdated pixel style, but hey, we had it for too long now, so I think we should move forward right?
Just one thing, ehm, when you make it with the Wintermute Engine, why is there a bar on the top like with AGS?  ???

Well, I wanted to keep the style going, so I scripted in a status bar, and even imported the old font.  Wintermute is amazing, it does things AGS was never capable of.

Fool, you know AGI is far more advanced than wintermute, why not use AGI instead?

Awww, Grundy, I can't believe you're abandoning AGS with BJ5. I was hoping one day to sit down and play all 9 of them in one giant AGS collection. Oh well, the new screenie looks good! I know a lot of people will shy away from the 3D graphics, but I think they look pretty nice!

3D Ben Jordan! Pffft, 3D sux0rs. Anything you can do in 3D you can do in 2D!

This is what happens when people leave MonkeyGamesâ,,¢ and go under their own "Grundislav Games" business...

"Look at me! My name is Grundislav! I name my company after myself! I'm going to stop making games in AGS and start making them 3D in WME... na na na ne na!!"

Jerk.

Is it just me, or does that look like "The Sims 2"?

Oh, I asked myself from which game it is...i don't play many games, and I'm not really interested in the actual ones.
So I'm not really sure about it....maybe he just tries to emulate the style a bit...who knows....

Oh, so this was just a joke? Man! Don't scare me like that! I've been crying for three days!! (not really)

I'm glad it was just a joke, though. Phew!
