Looks great! I did not know about opengameart.

It gets an interesting style with the "computerized" photos.

Hey all, just wanted to give a quick update to let you know this project is still alive. 

I definitely began it way too early, while other games were still in progress, so it stalled for several months. Then I did another MAGS entry. As one does.

Odds are that I will not finish it until early next year, because there are a lot of animations still to draw, lots of sound effects to mix and implement, GUIs to make, and then the playtesting phase. And with the holidays approaching I probably won't have much time to work on it once we get to the end of this month.

But there is progress!

-Coding: 85%
-Animation: 25%
-Puzzles and story playable: 100%
-Dialogues: 100%
-Music implementation: 90%
-Sound implementation: 10%

Here's a new screenshot:



Thanks for following along.
