While on her evening jog, Eliza Jones hadn't realise that there was an Unidentified Flying Object disturbing the residents of her village. One by one, the Flying Object abducted them from their cosy beds. Last to be abducted was Eliza.
She wakes up imprisoned in a ‘Human Simulation Room': But Eliza isn't one to be held hostage and it's your job to get her out.

I like the look of the rooms, but the lady scares me  :o

Hi Iwan, welcome to the forums.

You've got a really neat art style; it seems like everything is sort of swollen.  What's your game about?

Interesting look!

As DragonRose asked, what's the game about?

])]V[

Mm, nice style, indeed - The first looks like an edited DoTT room, though... Still, I don't think you're the first one to do it... :)
And yes, I also want to know what it's about - Tell us!

I like the style in the images. The character could use some more work though.

And please give us a storyline or something.

Hi :)

You're graphics look really good!

Please edit your first post and tell what the game is about and please put the title of your game in the subject...
example:
Sampsonite's Quest for Farklurkers - 2 screenshots


Thank you,

Thanks for updating the first post with a storyline. It sounds great.

I hope you can finish this project. If you need any help with puzzle designs, or further storyline development you can contact me.

Also, I like the concept of the main character. She's a very abnormal main character, with a lot of potential. However, I think the sprite could be improved upon.

Try posting her in the C&C forum.

Thanks,

I think i will be asking a lot of questions over the next week or two because this is my first game and i haven't got much experience in AGS.

Also i think i will post her in the C&C forum.

Thanks for all the help and the warm welcome,

Iwan

This game has such great potential, I can't wait till it comes out...

Thanks Zor. :)

Hey the abduction animation rules  ;D

Thanks, It's nice to hear!

New web site!

Link removed by request!

Please give me your opinions on it!

IWan

the game looks cool, and your website isnt bad at all, but i'm just not keen on the main character. I think when you design an adventure, the main character has to be 'likeable' all round, and i just can't see myself warming up to...her? Just my opinion though, if everybody else is ok with it you have nothing to worry about.

I think I agree with Dan on look of the main character - but I'll reserve judgement until I've seen her move and "heard" her interact. You never know!

The story line has taken a bit of a twist and i'm thinking of putting the alien as the main charactor but i'm not quite sure. If i'll use the Woman (yes she is a woman ;)) as the main charactor i'll improve her a little.

-Iwan

Still looking forward to this game!

updated, see 1st post!

I think i've bitten off more than I can chew by adding voice so i'll decide that later on.

I love the characters, though the lady is pretty scary. I like the new elephant immensly! Also, lovely animation.
The voices are
EDIT: I forgot to finish this sentence silly me! heh, I always write posts in pieces, so there you have it. :D Actually, I can't listen to the voices now, cause my PC is fu**ed up, media player/winamp/anything isn't working. :P

One thing you seem to have confused about the resolution: don't you mean: 320X240?
340X200 isn't possible afaik, unless this is background size and they scroll, or the actual res is 640X400.
Most likely you just mixed it up a bit :).

Looking forward to playing this game/a demo!

Thanks Ginny :)!

Silly me, yes I did mean 320 200  :D.
I've updated it now :),
Iwan

Oh, actually i thought you meant low-res in letterbox mode, which is 320X240, but I guess you're using normal low-res. :)

Oh right, oh well. I've updated the first page now with some new stuff anyway. I've redrawn alot of the graphics and I've decided to make the game at 320x240 anyway  :).

you know, the intro animation is cool and all, but its a bit weird as to why she is just standing there, and basically has no idle view. it could help maybe to have a bus stop sign next to her, cause without it, its kinda random that she's there.

Thanks Scummbuddy.

I'm making a little Idle animation of her scraching her arse after the ship flyes past but I hadn't thought of having a bus stop sign...it would make more sense. I'll add it in next time I work on it :).

Iwan

Ok...School is out for the summer holidays so this game is really going to pick up the pace :). I have just finished my GCSE so I've got loads of time to work on it.

...end of september



I hope thats still the plan. Any more work we can see?

That was the plan but I stopped working on it for a bit because of the the AGs team challenge. I'll post some animations or bgs quite soon.

Here are some more work you can see.

Background: I created this one today, Thanks for the people in the CL who helped me :=.

Oh, man. Please don't change the main character, she's great! ^_^ I saw it and thought, "Finally! An interesting, original main character!". Personally, I'd love to be getting a cool old lady out of trouble and I think she looks great. the animation is neat, and the backgrounds are great too. All the styles fit together nicely, I think.

Only one thing... Kang? Did you purposely use the same name as the Simpsons' alien or is it a tribute/accident? :P

Glad you like the character! I knew Kang was fromÃ,  The Simpsons but every time I worked on him the name Kang came to my head and it came a bit of a habit :).

The old lady might work, but you'll need to make her...sassy. Like Margaret Rutherford's Mrs Marple, only better.

Almost end of September, how's it going, Alpha?

Hi all,

Bloody hell this game is taking ages but it will be done...one day. Anyway since I havn't showed anything in a while I thought i'd release a little demo. Well it's not really a demo. It's a little intro to how she gets captured by the aliens. You can see the GUI graphics too.

Here's a gif of the end of the intro if you don't want to download it.

Great stuff! Love your art. And isn't that the Farscape font? nice touch...

Not sure if it's the farscape font, i've never played the game. I chose one of the fonts in AGS which I favoured most.. Glad you like my art :).

And thanks Darth for removing the link!
