Wow, looks very promising... and 35% of 50 makes 16 finished backgrounds, you are fast! Goof luck with this, and good luck this weekend with the soccer final.  :)

Niiice!

I love the styling of the graphics.  The concept sounds intriguing as well.  I'm curious, though; is the resemblance to the English word "hemorrhoid" intentional?

Thanks for your comments! think about visiting game's website and leaves some comments :)

i hope you will enjoy the final game (i'm working hard to do my best!)

huhu yes, it's an intentional "joke" (the french word is hémorroide) about the base concept of the character, "she's a little crazy girl who are allways where she's the most undesired" (sorry for my english) :d

be reassured, there will be no hemorrhoids or another bad taste things in the game :)

kyt_n8 good I mean great luck with this one!

It looks great, do you use some vector drawing program?
And Emma is so cute haha!

I am waiting for you to finish this, THANKS!

Thanks again **:):)**

And for the drawings i begin to draw backgrounds on paper, and after numerisation i use photoshop pen tool with an enormous number of shapes (about 2.500 vector shapes in each parc background) and use selfmade brushes to get trees effects

a very big work, i spend approximatively 5hours for one bg :d

Post reformatted on august 24.

I'm actually working on a playable demo translated in English
so please wait :)

     Wow, this is the first time that I saw the thread for this game. The graphics are really amazing! I hope that you are still working on this project.....

Then you should have sent a PM as the forum rules state ... rather than digging up a thread that has been dead for over 3 months.

Mel_O_Die - I see you are still active on the site.  If you're still working on this game send me a PM if you wish to update this thread and I'll unlock it.

Hey this looks very interesting! Can't wait to see it finished.

Thanks for your support!

I'm still working hard on this game and hope to can have a demo soon!

I just updated the screenshots with the actual version of the game/graphics

They look fantastic!!!

To my mind, considering screenshots and animated gifs you use, the whole thing is of a rare quality.

So keep up the great job.

This looks like an awesome game! Never saw this thread before, but it looks great so keep up the good work!

This looks awesome!

A lot of promising games in the making!

Thanks for all your comments! the demo will be ready very soon! just some details to fix, finish the english translation and correct it :)

thanks again! see you soon for the release of the demo!!

i'm really happy to advertise you about that:
(http://emma.roide.free.fr/demoavailable.png)
after almost 6 months of hard working on it, i'm pleased to present my first demo!
i hope it's even more! this is a "long" demo for a standard gamer, it's nearly an "episode" but i don't want to "episode" my game =^0^'=

i hope you'll enjoy it!

leave me all your comments to help me for improving my game!
- bug reports
- suggestions
- bad english translation
- and what do you want!


thanks for you all for support me and helping me in the technicals forums!

Mel,

This is one AMAZING gem you got there! Presentation, story, graphics, music everything is amazingly done! It could very well be a commercial game!

The demo was somewhat short though... not sure what you're saying about the length and the "episode", still it was extremely rewarding!

I will e-mail you for more ideas... :)

Tu es magnifique! (f I remember my French correctly that is :S)

Pretty nice demo! Thanks!
I recommend having the translation worked on by a native English speaker though :=

     Congrats on completing your demo, Mel! I will be downloading shortly...... I will give my opinion later.....

Thanks for these few comments!

I actually have a nice american girl who are working on the amelioration of the translation! i will update the demo when it's done :)

That's cool ;D

Nice demo.

I was able to finish it without no problems.

Seeing according to progress stats, it seem very close to it's completions.

Good luck

I don't understand why the demo sends my saves to the desktop?

do you use the installer?
did you install the demo on your desktop ?

i don't really understand the problem, normally ags put the saves automatically in the game's folder

That happens because in the installer you have to set the WorkingDir of each shortcut. If you don't specify it the working dir is set to wherever the shortcut is, in this case, the desktop, so the game runs as if all files were in the desktop.

absolutely not lol it's the progress stats of the demo only :D

sorry i've been unavailable for a while, but i still don't understand the problem, can somebody helps me to solve it?
for info i use innosetup and i never seen the problem you're talking about on my computer, the setup just unpack the game files into a folder and create shortcuts. When i save a game, the savegames are created inside the installation folder and not on the desktop, weird...

thanks :)

Yes there's is a problem in some computers with the Icons WorkingDir

So if you use inno setup you should add " ; Workingdir: "{app}" " in the desktop icon line.

Thank you!

I will do that for my next demo release :)

i hope that will fix that problem :=
