Ok, I decided to post this now. I will add more screenshots as soon as I have enough intrest to do so. I am moving all my energy to this project. And hoping that it will turn out fine. I have about 25-30 % done. I am not sure about when is this going to be finished cuz i have some ideas that might take longer and some that I might not put into the game at all.
Let's hear more about the game then:
Plot:
Your name is John Flankberg, you are an agent in DPD (Deron Police Department). A body is being found in a trash pile in refuse tip and you got the case.
As you investigate the case you will find out that this wasn't just about some murder. I can say that this is going to be really cliche game, but there is no cult behind the actions in city of Deron.
Ideas from the game are mostly taken from another detective games. Well, there are lot's of my own ideas but still.
Screenshots: (More coming... sometime soon..)

Comments everyone. And keep an eye on this post cuz I will add the shots here.
And Im in need of musics. Contact me if you could support me with some musics.
holy crap...those screens look a lot like touched up PDA bgs
For music: I'm thinking of composing some, but the question is:
What style of music do you want? I'm really good at detective, gumshoe type music, but is that the kind you want, or are you liking for more, upbeat Police Quest style music?

Yep, as said ideas taken from other games.
But you might consider this as a tribute to the PDA.

Well there are to guys making or at least trying ot make music for my game. m0ds and Petteri A.
I still need music for: Library, Map screen, refuse tip, and for a finance company.
Oh and a some good jeolde jeewhaa pirate music for the docks.
Style: Let's say that its a freestyle ;D
No moody blues, thats all. This is not a DWN ;D
Looking good :)
err... I can't think anything more to say.
Finally some screenshots! Looks really great... When are you planning to make the website? We'll discuss more about that on MSN...
I'm glad you joined Dima Software! :D
So, Tails? Could you make music for the game?
I need there kind of a music as well:
-A music for a fastfood/restaurant.
-A little bit of a sneeky music.
EDIT: Added more screens to the first post.
More bgs added.
What? Is my game so cliche that no one is interested? :'(
Aha! This looks like it could be a really good game! What kind of GUI will the game be using? Sierra-style, LEC-style, or something of your own?
Looking forward to a demo... ;D
Are you a mind reader? I just think that same thing ;D
Something own would be nice. I will see it later.
Thanks anyways!
Er, no - Not as far as I know... ;D
You do that. Good luck!
Looks good...I'm into that style of yours...
The screenshots look really good. They do look a bit like Pleurghburg backgrounds, especially the first two, but they still have a unique style.
Some things you might want to change:
-The sky in the dock background needs a lot more detail. A cityscape in the distance would look good there.
-The wall texture on the building at the dock doesn't really fit in. I can't really think of anything to replace it with, though..
-On the front wall of Lilo's Lunch (outside), I don't understand what that sloped wallt to the left of the door is supposed to be. Is that another side of the building, or is the front wall just shaped like that? If it's a side wall, you wouldn't actually be able to see it, judging from the perspective that the lines in the parking lot suggest..
I like the graphics though. Good luck with your game..
The wall is shaped like that. Don't know why. Probaply Lilo just likes to have a building like that.
I will check if I do something about it.
And yes, the sky needs something at the docks.
Real nice. I thought i was looking at a enchanted Police quest. :)
Check the first post to see the musics I need!
By the way, does John Flankberg know John Flansburgh? :)
Umm who the hell is he ;D
No he does not.
okay so I made a tune, I was confused at first, but I know now, that it wasn't nessecary.
here it is:
http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/sneaky.mid
it's supposed to be for the murdered man's office
Tell me if you like it ;)
I like it! I will most propably use it! ;D
Thank you!
What name would you like to have in the credits?
uhm...
Don't know
Barcik did something like this:
Jan "N3TGraph" Kuipers
I kinda like that, though most common agssers probably know my real name by now,
Ok!
And n3t, if you are still interested to make music into the game I would take them with open mindly ;D
when I find inspiration... I will make some more ;)
Thank you!
Great screenshots! Cool musics!
Thanks!
Btw Mad, that tune is now over 4 minutes longer. I wanted to make it longer, here it is -
http://tong.bsone.net/Jf1_phq.mid
This version should loop better and sound nicer when it loops (i.e the one before went from quite a lot of instruments back to a couple all of a sudden, this one doesnt.)
Ok, I will check it as soon I get home!
Thanks again m0ds!
Okay, here we have the rockin' and rollin' fast food restaurant tune (http://home.arcor.de/oleschinski/stuff/fastfood.mid). I hope it fits into the scene well. Please tell me if you like it. It's not very long (1:10), so if you find it gets annoying too qickly, I can still extend it a bit.
Note: in order to make it loopable, I had to shift it a bit off the beat, so it looks terrible when opening it in a MIDI program, but it works well in AGS.
Hey, great musics people!
Thunderstorm, great! I will check how it sounds in the game but now when listening its great!!!
Thank you!
EDIT: Tested the restaurant music, sounds great!
hmmm, I think I will be doing another soon mad... but another thing
my song is loopable but probably has a silence in it, I'm going to improve it soon. I'll let you know
Right! Thanks!
What song are you doing now?
More music needed!
Just bringing this thread up! More music please!!
Hey, I think I could try to make some more music if I have time. Some interesting looking locations which needs music...
That would be cool! Thanks!
