Office Quest

zewb · Wed 14/02/2007 22:26:40

Office Quest is a comical adventure whose title is partly inspired by Sierra's motif of taking interesting things and adding the word "Quest" after them.

Synopsis:
Todd Flannigan is a corporate worker bee who just wants to finish his work and go home. The problem is his incompetent boss is convinced that someone stole his lucky 5 iron and he wants Todd to find the culprit.

Look! It's the plot!

The entire game takes place in the office building, which is 5 floors, including the basement and the roof. Basically, the player will talk to various NPC's around the office and solve puzzles to find out who stole the golf club and how to get it back.

Terry, the ill-tempered mail clerk who is on his perpetual smoking break.

There will be quips, jokes, references, and hilarious characters, and maybe even a plot twist. Stay tuned.

Copier's on the fritz again.

Estimated Release Date: When it's done.
Percent Complete: 35%

UPDATE: Improved the backgrounds, added a character, finished the elevator system, and added a very hilarious cutscene.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Redid the entire elevator system, added a few rooms and characters.

Despite the empty faces this looks cool!

I'll be surprised if there aren't any "Office Space" references! In the secend screenshot, that guy isn't defending his stapler is he?

Ã,Â Ã,Â Ã,Â Looks really cool. Good luck with it. I assume that this is your first attemt at an AGS game. For some reason, I only saw one image. It looked like the other one wanted to load but it didn't.....Ã,Â :o

Ahh, now I can see the first screen-shot as well.... Very nice... The game looks really cool!!!

I had the same problem with the first screenshot! I can only see the second one.

Still, nice premise and the graphics do look attractive!

I like the irony that he's a "faceless" employee.

Looks nice. Actually, since I'm planning to make a game set in an office, I'm very interested in playing this to see how it turns out.

I really like the visual style, except for that gradient in the first screenshot. But this isn't the Critic's Lounge, so... nevermind.

Love the graphics. It looks as though a 90s powerpoint presentation and a Dilbert strip got into a freak car crash. Heh, this actually makes me a bit nostalgic. Looking forward to it!

Hm... this looks interesting, but you might want to think over the wall color in the second screenshot again...

Nice graphics! Very pixelled, in a good way. Helps make it look more... office-like.

Very nice, I like the styles of graphics. It reminds me of some other games I've played but my mind's drawing a blank right now so I'll just say "I can't wait to play it" and then go away

.

I can't wait to play it!!!

Oh good, you changed the background on that screen!

Yeah this game is looking cooler by the minute! It's amusing me just looking at it! I love the smoke coming from that guy's cig!

reminds me of the sitcom The Office.
The good version, not the shitty American remake.

Akatosh · Sun 18/02/2007 09:54:15

Heh, now this is starting to look seriously interesting. Lookin' forward to this one.
