Post by: naamlock on Wed 26/03/2008 11:28:38
It's a SHORT GAME

Resolution: 800x600

It will be translate by BROKENBUTTERFLY

The story:

you play a guy who's had a bunch of misfortunes, and blames it on his black cat.

Your objective is to kill the cat, nine times.  ;D ;D ;D

You seem to have 31 missing bits there :D

Seriously though, this looks really cool - neat style, and I LOVE the characters! :D

The psychedelic look fits well with the crazy story haha  :D  :D
Will there be blood or something? (I mean like these grayscale movies
with red blood as the only colour poping out)

Hehe  :)

There will be effectively some red and grey as in "FAR NOWHERE" ( the  opposite chapter )  ;)

Umm... wow. Your objective is to kill your cat? Have you been reading too much Edgar Allen Poe?
actually, the graphical style seems to fit the morbid style. I'll give it a try once you release it.

The title "Near somewhere" seems odd, it doesn't tell me anything. But maybe that's the points  ;)

I think it's more about irony, than it is about morbidity. You're trying to kill your cat because it's got 9 lives and that's what's fun...  ;D? Am I making any sense here or am I just a twisted psycho  ;D?

As for the title it's a reference to naamlock's previous game, "Far Nowhere".

Great style, congrats.

By misforturned guy, you mean the duck-look-alike character ?

If it is, won't be his little size an handicap regarding to the surrounding objects (sofa, door...) ?

Hope you finish this soon.  :)

Effectively, the duck is smaller than objects in the apartment but this problem is included in the scenario  ;)

It's very difficult to be a duck in the true life you know ... especially when you are a duck-dwarf  ;D

Heehee, with each screenshot, the environment seems to get more and more surreal ;)
I like the look of this, good luck with production!

Looking great!
I hope you'll do some nice animations too.
I also hope you get to play with the cat :p
And loose the Sierra pointer.

I am a bonafide cat lover but I still think this sounds great! The grahics look very cool too.
