Ebb Tide: A Jake Fisher Mystery
The Story
Jake Fisher is a medium. Reluctantly so, but it's not the kind of thing you can just turn on and off when you feel like it. After a high-profile case ends in disaster, Jake retreats to remote Ebb Island in an attempt to cut himself off from the world. Unfortunately for his peace of mind, the world has other ideas.
(NB: I began this game well before I saw anything about
The Blackwell Legacy so hopefully people aren't too put off by multiple medium-themed games)
Pictures!
Disclaimer: My graphical shortcomings are legendary but I'm too proud to do paintovers. Hopefully these backgrounds won't put anybody off from playing the game...

Release Date
I'm aiming to release early December... and definitely before 2007 hits.
I wanna see some sprites!
Maybe Jake Riker from my game can join up with Jake Fisher from your game. :P ;)
Shot where you can see a sprite...

Again, my graphical skills are lacking, but hopefully it shouldn't be too distracting in-game.
No, you're no graphical wizard but the backgrounds are better than anything I can do!
They're nice, pleasant graphics. I'll play your game when it's made. :)
Hurry up, I wanna play ;D
Give yourself more credit. The backgrounds are simple but lovely. I will definitly put this game on my can't wait to play list! Keep up the good work!!!
This looks like a lovely game. Can't wait to play it =)
Thanks for the kind words. I've pretty much finished all the sprites now, so it's just the last three backgrounds to do and I'm done, done, done with the art!
As of today, I'm still on track for an early December release date :)
Good to hear it! I can't wait to play, looking forward to the game!!!
Hey that looks wicked!! I'll definetly be playing your game!!! ;D
It looks good to me. If you want help with music and sound send me a message and I'll see if I can do something.

Thanks for the offer, but at the moment, I'd like to keep myself to the early Dec release date. It's not fair to ask/expect someone to deliver something in such a short timeframe.
However, depending on the feedback the game gets and how I feel about it, I'm considering working on a full speech/sound/music version next year.
