Title: of Dreams and Dark Waters
Post by: on Sat 07/08/2004 20:01:23
Hi everyone. Havn't introduced me yet as I'm quite new to using AGS.
This is the first game i'm making so don't expect TOO much.
I started making a Call of Cthulhu game out of an old scenario i played a couple of years ago, to try and learn AGS, but it's grown quite large and maybe it's time to annoce it as a work in progress...

I'm not very good at drawing as you might see, but i've been coding for a very long time.

This game is a mystery/horror game where dialog is very important. So far it's about 800 lines of dialog, and has 5 different characters, and 10 working rooms.

I'll write some more when i have more to show...

/Prozail..

Can't really take credit for that one.. My GF drew it in pencil from a reference photo, and i scanned and colored it.

I am going to ask a stupid question now.
I've heard this quite a few times, and I think it's time to find out.
What's Cthulhu?

Oh, and you might want to add that some of the graphics are ripped from PQ2.
(Which I *still* haven't finished, argh!)

http://www.cthulhu.org/cthulhu/index.html

"Call of Cthulhu" is a 1920's story by HP.Lovecraft.. he wrote many stories that took place in the same "world", which is later called "The Cthulhu Mythos"

Generally the main character dies or goes insane at the end...

Yes.. for now... not going to use Sonny as a main character in the final game though... just needed a reference sprite.. .. like i said .. my drawing capabilities is ... below average... :-)

but i'm working on it...

The background is actually my own work.. but i didÃ,  used PQ2 for reference... thought it could be fun to have some "other-game" reference.. it should be the only one.
PQ2 was acctually the first game i finished!

"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn."

"In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming."

Don't have Sonny go insane though, it would be predictable :)

For those who want to broaden their horizons, you can read Call of Cthulhu online at http://www.dagonbytes.com/thelibrary/lovecraft/thecallofcthulhu.htm

there are many other stories by Lovecraft there as well.  Enjoy  ;D
