Party to Adventure - Beta Testers Needed

Wogoat · Fri 08/03/2013 07:24:39

In a land of heroes and dragons, a new adventure is just outside your doorstep. But to participate in said adventure you must first be a certified member of the Adventurers' Guild. Non-members are ineligible to collect any rewards, loot or other paraphernalia (heretofore referred to as "drops") related to aforementioned adventure.

Venalis is ready for a life of adventure, and luckily for him today is the monthly Adventurers' Guild Registration Day at his local tavern. Join Venalis and his trusty sidekick Francis as they bravely fill out the necessary paperwork and valiantly complete the beginner's level field exam!

Every good adventure starts in a tavern!

Try the delicious and frequently dangerous drinks!

Be prepared to battle the most fearsome of beasts!

Fill out paperwork!

Party to Adventure is a short-length comedy adventure planned to serve as a prologue for a planned commercial game I am currently developing.
I am keeping a production blog of sorts on my tumblr page: Wogoat's Thought Train

I plan to have the game released in April or May of this year.

I'm needing some sets of eyes that aren't mine to help find bugs and typos, if anyone is interested in beta testing a nearly complete version of the game please let me know!

Does the guild provide its new members with fake beards?

Looks VERY nice. I like the calm, cool background colors against the more lively palette used for characters. And just from the screenshots I can tell there are plenty custom animations. EDIT: A quick look at the tumblr page reveal there are -- and they look spectacular.

Looking good. Best of luck

Wow, you've been at this for a while. The art looks interesting, story is very discworldy and some of the character animations on your tumblr site look very smooth as well.

Wait, is the "Spoony" the bard? I'm so sad that I get/think that is a reference.

Looks fun. I predict the beginner quest will be either clearing a basement of (surprisingly powerful) rats or entering a cave and defeating whatever lurks within.

Looks great (especially the animations)! Looking forward to it.

It was originally intented to be possibly the most over-produced single-room game made in AGS, however the beginner quest ended up necessitating a second room.

Reading the description made me think of Steam Greenlight somehow... If you replace the Adventurers' Guild with Greenlight this very well could be a perfect analogy to the life of a game developer;) This, or I'm just going mad:P

Either way, it's looking good!;) Keep up the good work!;)

It kind of reminds me Modron Maze with its "a clue", "a magical item" and "a bag of coins" (unusable in the rest of the game) drops and "Die in the name of the Evil Wizard" taunts from the enemies ; ) Looks fun, will keep an eye on it.

I've updated the first post with a new screenshot and call for beta testers if anyone is interested.

Sure, If beta testing call is still on, I guess I give it a try as I'm testing other games as well as you might see via my profile. Let me know by pm!

Love the look of this.

I'd love to beta test for you.

I would like to test your game if you still need beta testers.
