Reactor 9

The game is about 50% complete now.

Right now I'm busy with summer things (vacations, putting off a little bit of weight, cycling & other outdoor stuff and maybe even finding the love of my life), so progress on the game has stagnated and will stay that way until the weather's bad.

Oh, and putting off weight isn't as hard as I thought. I went from 84 kg to 78 kg in five weeks. Go, me!

See you around~

Hey Bernie,

This looks like it will be a brilliant game! The graphics look top-notch, and the central idea is very original - I love the idea of being anchored to an NPC whose behaviour, and therefore the progression of the entire game, is related directly to the actions you take! That kind of thing can really help you immerse yourself in the world of the game.

Best of luck with finishing it!

This looks awesome bernie, looks like another excellent game

in the bernie-like manner. Goodluck on finishing the last half.

What a great looking game! I enjoyed Cedric and this one looks just a good. Your backgrounds look excellent - a really nice use of color.

Good luck with finishing this up. But do make sure you get out and enjoy the summer - although it doesn't sound like that's a problem for you!

Hey Bernie..... This game looks like it is going to be great! The graphics are most reminescent of the ones from Cedric and The Revolution. Which i thought had really nice backgrounds and good animation. I have a bad habit (yours is not completing games that you are making) of not finishing AGS games that I start playing! LOL!!! I find that a lot the games that I download don't hold my interest, so I hope this will not be the case with this fine looking game. I am glad to know that the game may be a little shorter then most people would like but that the game won't be filled with illogical puzzles and pointless conversations just to make the game longer (I've found this to be true with a lot of AGS games). Keep up the good work and don't enjoy that summer too much, you have work to do.....

Goo, goo, ga, joob!!!

Hello, AGS Forums.

The weather is plenty bad these days, so I worked on this some more. (I also pretty much finished a different game project not related to AGS, but more about that some other time.)

Current status:

5 of 5 characters finished
18 of 23 backgrounds finished
50% of the puzzles done

Obligatory screenshot:

Well, well, well.... It's about time we got an update from you. Glad to hear that the project is moving forward. I'm really excited about this game. Nice screenshot! Keep up the good luck Bernie! I know that your game will be of the highest quality.

Bernie · Wed 15/11/2006 16:47:10

Thank you!

I'm not sure about the highest quality thing, but I hope the game will at least be fun.

Progress update: All backgrounds are finished. Go, me. On to scripting the game's last half.

Wow..thats excellent news :o, I cant wait to play another of your games, you're one my favourite game makers

Edit: I was wondering, is there a possibility for me to translate Cedric and The Revolution?, there are lots of Spanish-speaking gamers who would really like to play your game...

Bernie · Wed 15/11/2006 18:14:22

Thanks! A translation won't be possible with Cedric and Reactor 9 since both use a custom talking command frequently. AGS doesn't recognize those, making translations using AGS' language features impossible.

I'm not sure if there's another solution. Editing the game directly would definitely not be a good one.

The game is nearing completion pretty fast. All that's left to do is the endgame and the 3 different endings.

Current status:

5 of 5 characters finished
23 of 23 backgrounds finished
85% of the puzzles done

Done in a week or two, I'd say, depending on how well the beta phase will be going. And no screenshots this time. HA!

Bernie · Wed 22/11/2006 14:08:34

Hey wow, a triple post. Just dropping by to say that the game is done. The beta phase is starting now. It's a short game, so this shouldn't take very long.

SSH · Wed 22/11/2006 15:31:20

Eeeeeexcellent!

Buckethead · Wed 22/11/2006 15:38:58

wow!!! that's awsome news! I hope it will be as inspiring as it looks =)

thewalrus · Wed 22/11/2006 16:18:46

Great news. Can't wait to play this awesome looking game!!!

Bernie · Wed 22/11/2006 21:29:30

I played through the game a few times and it seems kinda short. It's pretty weird, too, and I had trouble doing the dialogues. Hope I'm not gonna disappoint anyone with this game.
