Kalle Gonzalez: Rockfall in Paradise started

[kaputtnik]

Hey there.

It's been two months since we - Kosmonaut Produkte, that is - started our first AGS game, Kalle Gonzalez: Rockfall in Paradise. The first version we are developing is in German, I will translate it later on, when we are done.

The story: The year is 1990 (or maybe 1989, haven't decided yet.). You are Kalle Gonzalez, thirtysomething, rowdyish environmental campaigner for a decade and a half. Whenever nature is in danger, whenever someone is about to extinct another endangered species, you certainly are not far, always ready to use your brains, your looks and your fists to rough up the thang.

One day - while saving the whales on a distant caribean island - you get a phone call from your pal Svensson who works as a seismologist in an observatory in the German Alps. Just as he begins to describe strange tremors he had recently noticed, the call is interrupted.

Now you wouldn't be Kalle Gonzalez if you woulnd't leave the whales to Greenpeace right away and get on board of the next ferry, destination Germany. What's expecting you there? An opaque situation, and you don't know who you can trust. IsÃ,  the brave and honest mountain infantry involved? Does the priest know more than he wants to tell? What's the grumpy old hermit got to do with it all? You only know one thing: Whoever is behind this direful conspiration, he will seriously damage the German Alps, wildlife sanctuary and protected landscape. You have to stop that bastard - and give him a completely bio-degradable whipdown!

I used Proskritos Fate Of Atlantis GUI, modified it a bit to fit it to the game's needs, so this is certainly a tribute to Indiana Jones in one way or another. And it is a tribute to an old German adventure game called "Das Erbe", where you had to refurbish an old shack you had inherited from your uncle - but beware, do not do anything that will harm the environment!Ã,  Don't worry, we are NOT fanatic environmentalists (though this is certainly an important issue), we just wanted to play around a bit with clichés and prejudices, of Bavaria and the alps on the one hand (cause Bavaria is where we live), ofÃ,  Ã, those good-natured and lamblike environment-weirdos on the other hand. This is one mean eco-bastard.

Stats so far:

Story and Characters: 90%
Graphics: 20%
Music: 40%
Puzzles: 0%

And here's the screenshots:





Not much to the detail as of yet, I know. I can't give you better screenshots though, because I took these some days ago and now my AGS Editor seems to have some problems. Anyway....

Adios, Sebastian.

edit: Crappy free webspace thang. Now they should be up & visible.

Screenshots as soon as I get my USB-stick and thus can bring them here to the university, don't have an internet connection myself.

Then you should have waited until you could upload them.

PM me when you have them uploaded and ready to post.

I know, double posting is NOT allowed due to the forum rules...but no one will even notice that I uploaded pictures, if I don't get the thread to the top. Sorry, please don't close it again. And tell me if you like the story, the pictures, the big green Recycle button, whose functions are so exciting to describe

[Darth Mandarb]

Well technically you didn't double post as my post is between your two posts!

Thanks for the PM and for adding some screenshots BUT your screenshots don't seem to be working.

You might want to use 2adventure to upload them instead.
