Quimby Quest: A New Dope - 99% DONE

skuttleman · Tue 26/09/2006 19:13:23

Alright, I've been working on my very first Adventure Game off and on for about a year, now. By first, I really mean the first that will be completed. I've started other project that have helped me learn how to use AGS to its full potential (and still learning). Like most people who use AGS, I grew up on old school adventure games, and never got enough of them. So, I guess it's my turn to make an amateur game. I did my best to make it fun to play, with plenty of goofy dialog, and moderately tricky to solve. Most likely future games will have multiple difficulty settings. Unfortunately, I've always been pretty good with coding, and writing, but have never had an ounce of talent of visual artistry. The screenshots should say it all.

STORY
You play as Ren McCormack. After finding out that the band Vote Quimby has fired their rhythm guitarist, Ren decides he's going to join their band. Little does he know that Vote Quimby won't make it easy for him. Alex, Vote Quimby's drummer, sends Ren on the most ridiculous errands, and Ren will have to be creative in order to meet the band's demands.

SCREENSHOTS

PROGRESS
The game is about 99% done across the board, I'm just having some friends beta test it and ironing out some quirkiness with the way the characters interact. The game should be done in about a week or two. I've had so much fun writing the story and making the game work that I'm already in the pre-planning stages of the next two installments...
Quimby Quest II - Advertisemento Strikes Back
and
Quimby Quest III - Return of the Dead Guy

FUTURE
I would LOVE to work with other people to make games, particularly people that are good with graphic design, and especially animation, but any collaboration would be fantastic!

QuoteThe game is about 99% done

Then I personally don't see the need of starting a Games In Production -thread for it.

It looks great though! Can't wait to play it.

Does anyone know a good reliable site for hosting ags games? I'm having trouble finding one that I can actually get onto. Game is going to be about 12MB.

Thanks.

Don't be, your game looks quite good and I'm pretty sure it will be fun also

The game is finished. I wasn't sure if it's normal to post that here, or just start a new thread in Completed Game Announcements, so I decided to do both to be safe. I hope everyone enjoys playing this one.
