Ivan

Still not found a proper name for the game, but these screenshots and the story are burning a rather smoky hole in my already thredbare pocket. The main story revolves around a hopeless sheep rustler name of Joe. (I need a more medievil name...) When he escapes from jail after a bungled job, he founds his smaller brother has been kidnapped by a bunch of French pirates! I dont want to give to much away (as theat synopsis is about 15 rooms already) but I'm planning it with my mate Stu, (for a uni portfolio) and it should be rather large. I'm not gonna compare it with anything, but the screenshots are coming along (cept the water - anyone know how to get sexy looking water?) and it will hopefully by humerous. The puzzles are all done, some of the scripting and most of the artwork. it will also have fully animated intros, outros and cutsences. Don't be too harsh, but id love feedback ont he screenshots and / or help with a good gui.

There is a lot of work, but as I write music, expect a proper reggae mp3 score!

The first act (of 5) will be released as a demo soon aftyer i get back, as it just needs a few tweaks. Probly by end of september.

Nice graphics, how bout a name like John, Luke or Ivan?
Many Medieval names where from the bible as the catholic church reigned supreme, you could use something biblical

[Chicky]

its really nice, but there is one thing that bothers me. the main character's eyes are too big (IMO) i think it spoils a otherwise excellent game.

The story seems really interesting, full of lots of little jokes, hope you finish this game, send me a pm if you need beta testers.

[PeteRenton]

I liked it, nice graphics and yep, just as Chicken said, his eyes is too big...

[Eggie]

Don't listen to these fascists!
Eyes can never be too big! NEVER!!

[Mephistophilis]

Cool Style
Eyes, despite what Eggie says, can be too big, and the town fountain looks a bit off but good graphics nevertheless

Hey Pete, some cool GFX. Only the character looks too...eh...contemporary? If you want to make look him more "medievalish" get rid of the shirt collar and give him some tighter pants. But if he's a time traveller it's perfectly OK.

[PeteRenton]

this was the problem... originally he was going to be just that. i thought being able to find pieces of a machine and various ages would be cool, so i started to animate. porblem was my mate (hairy bar-steward!) who asnt to keen... i was kinda pleased with him so i left him... he is a sheep rustler, so he is likely to where cheap clothes, and not fancy linen, hence the bland colours. as for the flares, i like flares. they are comfy and show of your legs just fine
