Mansion Break
PLEASE, COMMENT!
Story
Mansion Break start with Clerk, our hero, selling cookies door-to-door way for his school accampment. Then, Rocco, his friend, bet with him of trying to sell a cookie box to the owner of the old mansion Cliche. Clerk already heard bad stories about Cliche mansion., about ghosts, horrible massacres and other things. But he takes the bet. after knocking on the door bell, the door open a little, and red eyes glowing on the darkness appears. Clerk, shacking of fear, pick up a cookie box and when he turns nobody is there and the door is closed. When he try to knock again, a trap door open on the door mat and Clerk fall on a steel huge pipe. The steel huge pipe lead him to a dungeon room. He think "WTH?" and then he run to the door and start screaming.
But no one can hear he. So he think that he will have to figure a way out by himself, and later, ask why he is there.

OBS: The Speakers are only the "arms" of the computer, the "brain" is located in somewhere on the mansion... Maybe you can find it?
Minigame
Yes! It have a hacking minigame! It consist on putting pieces in a grid to check all itens and interlace them.
It gonna have 10 levels, and maybe a level creator expansion.
You will have to play the minigame through the 10 level`s to hack the security system and open a door.
You will see the minigame some times through the game, 1 at the beginning 2 at the middle and 1 on the final part of the game.
Mini Game Screens
**Future minigame screens here!
Interface
The interface is very friendly, made to everyone learn in 1 minute how it works. Basicly, click on the image of the icon you want, and it will turn to a colored icon, and then you can use it, or press the right mouse button.
The inventory window is opened by clicking on the I icon.
A Lucas Status Line was added to it, so when the mouse is over an object, the name will be displayed at the top-middle of the GUI, as seen on the last screen.
Fetures:
*Computer Mini Game - Connect lines, GPU`s and Power Tools to gain acess to some Areas
*New Mini Game - Still need to be invented, but we plan to create two or more minigames!

Developer`s Diary
12/02/09: Yesterday and today, i dedicated to the animations, i made already 2, one of clerk picking up something, and other of him dropping off to his knees and using a item to grap someother item.
I will try to make another room and another animation tomorow.
06/03/09: Yes, i forgot this area ;P, with the back-to-school rotine i`m much disatent to some things, but it`s OK, now i re-make EVERY room. Some screens are old, but i will update them. SOME SCREENSHOT`S MAY NOT APPEAR, why? I don`t know, internal problems... well, i`m tyred of trying to solve that, maybe next week... New alternative ways to complete the puzzles added!!!!!! Now you can choose to pick up a secondary item, or let it there (just if is a secondary item), there will be many ways to solve it, most of them will change the future, and possibly, the end! Yes, more then one end in the game! Possibly three or four! You can play the game some more times and complete it different ways, choosing difent itens and combinations, causing diferent cutscenes, animations, puzzles, IS A GAME WITH MANY OTHER IDENTICAL BUT DIFERENT GAMES ON IT. Well, i think it`s too much revolution to today ;D i`m creating the manual too, that i will probably end in the next friday, or in the other friday.
03/16/09: Added diary and masion map!!! Now you can write notes in the notes section, to remember anything, passwords, codes, routes... And there is an objective area, that show you current objectives. Ther is also a tips area, where you can pick up some tips. The Tip Modes can be changed on the Options menu, once there, selecting the Tips tab on the left, a slider will appear with the 3 tips levels, low, medium and high tips. Low tips will basicly display something like, "this door seems not to open from this side...". A medium tip (default) will be just like: "I need to find a way to open that door from the other side. Maybe a key or something in the keyhole might work.". And a High tip, will be like "If i only had a screwdriver, i could try it on the keyhole. Maybe this toolbox have a screwdiver!". That's it, i will post more things later as i update the game. Bye!

Thank you very much! Comment and rate it! ;)
No one read it yet? :'(
it`s ok, and ah, it have poor screenies and less rooms, i know, but it gonna have more, when i create more rooms it gonna be posted there!
Well, its says "read 95 times" ;)
The screenies are okay, I just think the colors of that room with the striped walls are horrible. But such critique belongs to the critics lounge...
Regarding the screenshot quality:
Save them as .PNGs and upload them easily here (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/upload/upload.html)
Good luck with further progress.
Dont be so hard on yourself ;) this looks alot better then the avarage first game. Just be a little patcient.
ok, but matti, do you mean "horrible" the wall? or all of it?
Help me, say what you doesn`t like for me to change it!
Do you liked the story? Come on! Comment and critic!

That violet tone is terrible, especially when used in stripes, it almost hurts the eyes. I'll give you the advice to make both stripe-colors similar, perhaps just with a difference in contrast/brightness.
But read the forum rules: Threads in the GiP-section are basically for informations about the progress of the games and some feedback, but serious critics belong to the critics lounge. Otherwise evil Darth
Vader Mandarb will tell us to stop talking about the graphics. So if you really want feedback on these things, start a thread in the critics lounge.
Regardings the story: Well, it's not very original or elaborated but as long as the game is funny and/or entertaining, everythings alright. It's all about fun.
EDIT: Your last screenie (a new one I think) is very good, much better than the others. I esp. like the plant. Try to keep that quality up.
Thanks! :D yeah, we will stop talking about the stripes :P i will see if i can change it.
J-
It seems to have a lot of work in your game, congrats and luck to finish!
(I don't like much the styleof the graphics, but I wish to test the game when it's out, to view the minigame and PC interface ;)
Ok, thank`s! I will have to make a great change in PC interface. It has made by rooms, but this can be a little incovenient, because of the change between them, so i think frames can do it great. But it will be tested and rated, if necessary i will change it.
EDIT: It seems the characters Cherry and CC aren`t showing the images... So please, click on the till i resolve it :D
Srry about the double post, but this damn modify button always (14 times now) links to a broken page... Ok, my game is with new graphics! Wow, ok, just the dungeon one, go to the critics lounge (there: ) and confirm it! They are a lot better, with more details and no black lines! I will re-made every room this way to emprove the graphics! Stay alert to updates!
Is the game anyhow connected to Maniac Manision? Or is it totally independent?
Nothing to do with maniac mansion, it`s all diferent, you can say it`s the same style, i say no, it`s more original than that, i don`t play maniac mansion to have ideas to my game, the ideas come from my mind ;)
Sorry again double posting... Please CJ, dont kill me! :-[
Well, as everyone (almost everyone, ok, almost no one) see the changes in the graphics, i will like to post some animations here. Yes! Walkcycles and misc animations for you! :D if you liked the game post something! If you hate it, post it! What i have to say is MINIGAME! I will post some screens of it in action!!! Its almost (almost like 45%) done. :D
Please be patient, and i will post may other things... Hope you like it!
Like the CC character. Nice implementation and if used right and proper, you'd be able to get a lot of jokes out of that transistor. The game looks good..but well, don't know, something bugs me about it, that stops me from cheering, I'll wait for a demo and tell you, don't get discouraged or anything.
Ok, let`s wait :) the demo will come sooooon... well, almost sooooon.
I'm looking foward on this game! I enjoy the graphics and the characters have some personality ;D .I'm waiting for a demo!
Great! More one looking forward! The game delay to be completed because just one man doing all the work (with some little help of course) it's impossible to go fast! I have to program, design, write, create, make, play, test, edit, find bugs, correct, and many other things. I work on it everyday, and i think the game deserves more comments. Thank you Ecletico!
Hey, the new graphics are awsome;Dif i could only draw like this, probably my game would be finished tomorow.
I wanted to ask if you don't have a date to launch a demo yet, please work faster, i liked the theme! : D
well, i didn't have any confirmed day Ecletico (what a strange name ;D ) but i will try to release it in April, maybe May. Thank you for your comment! Hope more people comment!
Nice job so far, looks like you're putting some effort into it! And hey, your GiP thread was quite interesting to read too.
hey mods, what GiP thread? ;D i didn't get the abreviation :P Thank you! Yeah, i'm trying to push the game foward more and more each day, but as i said to Eclitico, one man doing all the work it's a sloooooow job. I will try to post new screens to change with the older ones.
Ahh sorry, it's how I refer to this particular forum. Games in Production = GiP.
:)
Ahn, got it ;D So ,thank you! I try to make it look nice for viewers. I hope someone read the diary i wrote there, because its a lot of typing there :P
Ei cara! Tu não tem uma versão deste jogo em português brasileiro?
( english )
Hey mate! Do you have a version of this game in portuguese BR?
Eu vou fazer uma tradução sim ;) mas isso vai ficar pra depois, ainda vou ver se faço ainda na demo.
Yes, i gonna make a translation, but this is for another time, i will think if i will translate the demo.
