Trapped in the past - a detective adventure game by Solidus Software
-------------------
Born In 1931, and at the present 72 years old. It all started in 1958...

My name is Jack Boots, 27 years old. I am detective in Frostville.
I was still pretty new to the underworld of crime,for I graduated in 1956.
I was assigned to this case, where the owner of the famous theatre industry named
"Moonlight", found dead at the golfyard, of the golfclub "The Swinger".
It was publically known that this man "Kurt Fernando", was addicted to drugs.
He was found with an overdosis of pills in his body, so everything pointed to suicide.
I went talking to Kurt's lover Emma, who told me that Kurt said the day before his death,
he needed to go away for a few days, for business matters. This was very rare, because
Kurt hated travelling, so he always got visited. Another thing that strucked my mind,
was that Kurt was found at the golfyard. Why there?? So I as the detective,
started a investigation, to find out, what actually happened.
And that is where the trouble began...

2003 - AAAAH! Oh my! Another nightmare! I'm 72 years, and I have alot of times nightmares,
and bad sleeping. It's hard for a old crook like me, to keep it up with the world.
Everytime I get to bed, and everytime I wake up, the memories are flying by,
of that old time, wich costed me everything. I must remember myself to not think about that
all the time, but to live my life on, well at least what it's still worth.
I'm a retired detective, and I'm now doing some job for free at the shoeshop,
across the street. I'm shining shoes in the midst of this world, that is in a big damn hurry!
I feet my bird named "Joe"and close the door behind me, and lock the door.
While I'm walking outside, a lady, that is in a hurry, try's to cross the busy street.
A taxi that didn't saw her that quick must brake very hard. The whoman jumps away,
and her bag with lipstift, cream, and all sorts of makeup, are rolling over the ground.
That reminds me of that time I got to the theatre back then.....

This plot gives a little idea of where the game will be about. There hasn't yet been done
any art or scripting or whatsoever, only some art with pencil and paper, and the plot,
and storyline. I'm almost finished with my first game, and my goal is to make this a full
length game, with way better graphics.If anyone of you is interested in seriously helping me with the art, scenes and characters,
so we can make up a team, I would love to hear it. Also tell me what you think of the plot!

As an addition to it all, to clarify the style of the game. It will be like 2 different times. One moment you are playing with the young Jack in end of the 50's, with all the typical things of that time, and the other moment you are flashing forward, to the present where your playing the old Jack, in the present world with all it's techniques, and electronic signs and cars. So you'll be thrown forwards and backwards in time, to make a complicated story, with also lots of different puzzles. Well that's about all I can tell you right now about the game!

PS: So sorry, I don't have YET any screenshots, but this project is definatley going on, and soon there will be some first screenies of characters and maybee backgrounds, though I'm still experimenting about different styles of drawing.

Greetz,

Ahh Yes.. Another Narrated PI story with the Cool music and the maden i  destress.  LOL.  I love those.  Can't wait for some Screenshots and a demo!!

Yeah, actually I'd love to too... but I have everything untill now handdrawn, and I need to buy a scanner first. The bummer thing is, that I'm broke at the moment, so I need to wait for my workingloan. Or maybee I scan at someone elses scanner, so I'll just continue with drawing, and when I have it scanned, I'll colour it, and make animations, and all these things.

You Could go to KInko's or Wal-mart and pay 3.00/scan LOL
