Earl Mansin: The Breakout.

Earl Mansin: Breakout

You're playing Earl Lee Mansin, convicted serial killer. You've been in prison for the last twenty-seven years, and not a day has passed without you trying to escape. The first task of the game, is breaking out of your cell.

Sure is, monopoly guy. But somehow things don't turn out the way Earl planned, and it's still up to you to get him out of there. You'll see when it's done. I'm planning to do this in three parts, this being part one. The next part(The Further Adventures of Earl Mansin), and the one after that (The Last Adventure of Earl Mansin) will take care of what happens afterwards, after the escape.

Why, yes. Here you go, MG:

I might update the backgrounds during progress. If so, I'll upload the new ones right away. Oh, and he'll always look at you in that way. Always.

- graphics 100%
- puzzles 100%
- scripting 100%
- music 100%
- voices 100%
- cutscenes 100%

BETA version done. Stay tuned for version 1.0.

Looks great. I love the graphics and the premise. But most of all, I love the monopoly guy.

EDIT: That's the worst thing ever to be displayed on a computer monitor.

WoW! AwEsOmE! I really dig that very large head! Very nice cartoonish artwork!

Barbarian · Thu 29/12/2005 13:19:21

Looking fantastic so far H.B. And the main character looks hilarious (though a bit creepy) Ã,Â

Ã,Â The graphics are quite uniqe and truely showcase more of your wonderful artistic talent.
Ã,Â Ã,Â I like the whole idea of your game, and I look forwards to seeing the completed project.

PS: Feel welcome to contact me again if ya need any more help with fixing up any more "bugs" or with da programmin' stuff, and I'll see what I can do ya for. Ã,Â

UPDATE: Since Ildu thought the graphics was the worst thing ever to be displayed on a computer monitor, I'm now converting everything into beautifully anti-aliased artwork. I'll be done soon, and I will update the screenshots.

No problem, I got plenty of bugs my simple mind can't fix. Expect me soon.

EDIT: Screenies updated.

Oh no =(
another amazing game far from finished that I can't wait to play

Great work, and great idea (is not cliche)...I love the backgrounds and the character face...please hurry =P

Hahaha, Hillbilly! The art style looks awesome! The cursors look fun, too

If you don't, yet I'm sure you will, hear from any musicians - I'd love to write some choons for you. In the meantime I'll eagerly await a release or demo of your game

HillBilly · Fri 30/12/2005 10:19:55

Just posting to say that I'm moving steady and that I've changed the font into something more suitable. I'm also overwhelmed with all these nice comments I'm getting here. Looks like this game oughta be really good when I release it then?

By the way, I doubt there will be a demo. The game itself isn't too big, so I don't really see the point. I'll see if I can post some more promotional crap later, though.

Ginny · Fri 30/12/2005 17:16:01

The game is looking great, hillbilly. I really love your no outlines style.
Can't wait to play the game!

Big news everyone. The Adventures of Earl Mansin will be voiced. I've already gotten in touch with a voice actor who'll be acting Earl, and I'll post some voice samples later on.

ildu · Sun 01/01/2006 20:24:58

YAY!!!! I'm your biggest fan. Great news regarding the voice acting. I don't think the game would be complete without voices

Svartberg · Sun 01/01/2006 21:57:48

Good news HillBilly

Gotta admit even after hours of staring on your cell pic (hey i need inspiration

) still looks darn good

HillBilly · Mon 02/01/2006 17:09:23

And here's what you can expect of sound vibrations from Earl:

Gord10 · Mon 02/01/2006 19:22:08

The game looks great

Also the voice samples are really good. Do you need some more voice actors for other characters? I'd want to take part.

scourge · Mon 02/01/2006 21:20:58

heya, i love the style. Good work!

ThreeOhFour · Tue 03/01/2006 11:19:41

I have just one question: Will monopoly guy be in the game?

I mean it looks great and all...

...but monopoly guy would make this game truly shine.

He could be his conscience, something that only Earl can see

ildu · Tue 03/01/2006 11:41:55

The monopoly guy could be an icon to get hints. And also, the voice samples rock. Pretty much how I thought they should be, and very consistent in quality.
