Hawaiian Treasure

[Mats Berglinn]

Ladies and Gentlemen, Gals and Guys... let me present my first BIG game: Hawaiian Treasure!

The story: It's about me, who goes to Molokai, Hawaii for vacation. On my first day on the vacation, I meet Naomi McCallister, one of Hawaii's most popular pop singers. She tell me that she wants to help out her sister who have not got so lucky because of she gets more bills than she can pay, so Naomi wants to find the legendary treasure of Kuduwudu (the Great Sacred God of the ilse's locals) but she can't because two mysterious men in coats are trying to track her down. I decided to help her out and set out to find the treasure for her. As I go around Molokai I discover many strange things that somehow had connection with the treasure, like the crooked undercover gang called the Pineapple Mafia (those guys had caused a lot of trouble on Molokai the last three months), the mysterious spy Pete Gunn, the corruption in Hawaiian politic by a unknown politician, the local's legend of a evil shaman who tried to take over the world (but he have been dead for almost 2 milleniums) and the multi-milionaire casino boss Joe Pineapple.

And here is the cast of some of the most importaint characters.



Mats Berglinn: That's me! I'm a nice guy who have always dreamed about adventures and finally I get one. It was one of many reasons for that I was willing to help Naomi McCallister. You play as me throughout the game and trying solve many mysteries AND finding the treasure of Kuduwudu god.



Naomi McCallister: Isn't she something? She have been singing since she was 11 and she have become twice as popular as Britteny Spears in Molokai. She is friend with one of the local tribes of the Island ever since she was a child. But lately she haven't met the tribe for three months ever since the mysterious guys in coats tried to track her down. Now I get to help her find the treasure so her sister can live a better life.



Joe Pinapple: He is a gambling racatere and the boss of the Rolling Pineapple Casino in Molokai's captiol city. But is there somekind of connection between the corruption, the Pineapple Mafia and the men who is trying to track down Naomi? Even if he seems to be a grumpy, greedy, busy, rich guy, there's something that's weird with him. What can it be?



Pete Gunn: He is a top spy who have never ever done any mistakes when it comes to spying. I meet him during wandering around in Molokai's capitol city and he wants me to assist him to find vital information about the Pinapple Mafia and their plans. He also knows who the men, that tries to kidnapp Naomi, are and why they are after Naomi. He suspects there is something mysterious about Joe Pineapple the boss of the Rolling Pineapple Casino.



Kahnawana: There is much that is unknown about this ghastly voodoo guy. Accoring to the old legend of the locals of Molokai, Kahnawana was once a gentle medicine-man and he wanted people to like him. The people he served had their minds on the great Kuduwudu and less and less asked him for help and advice. After a time the shaman got so mad, frustrated and down and out, that he attacked the villages in order to get respect. However, the great god Kuduwudu sent down a thunder-bolt that killed the shaman. About 300 years later he came back as a spirit and all the hatred and anger had given him strong powers. He started to take over the world. The god and a gentle shaman struggled against him in a long battle before Kahnawana have been weakened and captured inside a medalion that is said to be in the Reptile god's cave where the Kuduwudu treasure is said to be within.

In this game you will find cool things like: About 50 characters, about 50 rooms, many puzzles to solve and a cool secret.

The progress is very slow because of the lack of experience about AGS and problems with making backgrounds and characters fitable for AGS but here is so far.

Total story: 100 %
Puzzles: 100 %
Dialogs: 5 %
Art: 2 %
Programming: 1 %

And if you wonder, the GUI that will be used for this game will be the Lucas Arts SCUMM GUI, just like the MI1, MI2, Sam & Max, Day of the Tentacle and Indy and the last Cruisine and Indy: Fate of Atlantis.

This looks really cool. It's great to see you seem to have virtually the whole game's story and puzzles set out and you've got a good idea of all your characters. I reckon that a lot of games are abandoned because of lack of planning, but you've cleverly done all that first. I love the characters and I look forward to puzzling my way through it, the locations and story sound a lot of fun.

Edit: By the way, that's my favourite GUI, the classic SCUMM verb box. I was using it for my first game but that's sidelined now...for my new game I'll probably be using a full-screen one of some sort, but only because of programming ease. SCUMM rules!

Sounds like it'll be fun!
And it's great to know you've got it al planned out

Thank you both! I have planed the game for months ever since I downloaded AGS. I was going to take a break for it work on a smaller game but because I have got stuck in the process I'm going to go on with this game. It was suppoused I would release a demo in April but because of the problems with the shorter game, it have been late. But will give out a demo soon. Ten music pieces will be conducted by M0ds which will be pop, Hawaiian music, tropical music theme, jazz and blues for different locations. I haven't got the music and there are no screenshots available for the moment but I will fix those soon. I hope you all will look foward to this game.

I can't wait!!!

There is still lot to do before I can show screen-shots but forunitly for you guys I have got some pics of different localations in game. Like some parts of the hotel I'm living in during my vacation.





And also on a place for boat-cruises



And this is the map of Molokai, which works like in Secret of Monkey Island, LeChuck's revenge and The Curse of Monkey Island. The bad news is that the map won't appear in the demo but don't worry it will appear in the full game.
