The Story:

Nil is a loser. He lives alone in a small apartment and his greatest dream is to become a guitar legend. One night, in his psychedelic dream, a bizzare looking dog named B9K9 offers him the ultimate trade : unmatched guitar skills in exchange for his soul. Upon waking up, he finds a piece of paper with an address in his pocket and realizes that it wasn't just a dream. And that's where it all begins...

Very Tenacious D:) I like it, especially with the main character looking like me, how could I not like it already? Also, I love the dog's name: B9K9!!! Nice one:)

It's fresh, and it's striking. Now all it needs is a blood red milk shake, hein?

Nil is fitting for a "loser" main character. Maybe change the title, but keep that name! I like the cell shaded style as well 8)

I like the look of it. My only complaint is that Nil looks like my sister-in-law's boyfriend, and the guy is a druggie loser lol

I will definitely give it a go when finished. Looks really clean.

Hello AGS people,

This project is not dead (although it may seem that way). The first demo was almost done (i only needed graphics for a few more characters and some animations), but the dude who handled the graphics turned out to be really unreliable. So, i got stuck; i tried to do the graphics myself but with no success.
So, after one year wasted, i'm thinking i could start this project from scratch. If anyone is interested, i'm looking for people who can draw (backgrounds, characters, animations) and also for someone who can write (story, dialogue). I can handle the programming/scripting part and the soundtrack/SFX, and i can provide the main plot, locations and some puzzles. Since this will not be a commercial game, the only thing i can offer is an equal share of credits and appreciation

.
If you like this idea, and you think you can help, please contact me!

Thanks,
razvan34
