Josh, that looks freaking amazing. Great. Stunning. I think you get the idea.
I am immensely looking forward to this project, as is everybody, I think. I am pretty sure that you will finish it, since you are hard-working and you have serious and talented people on your team. Again good luck, and can't wait to play this game.
Looks amazing so far. You've got some wonderful talent there.
Best wishes with your project,
Looking forwards to the finished product.
Yes, absolutely amazing and interesting game. Graphics are topnotch, theme interesting and music really atmospheric and cinematic. Looking forward to it, really much!
I usually hate western themed stuff but this is looking great.
( Freddy Pharkas is a pretty fun / funny western themed game too if anybody here hasn't checked it out ... )
Holy cow, that screenshot is beautiful! I'm looking forward to this.
Dude... I've gotta say that I'm really, really looking forward to this...
It looks like "Outlaws", but with CMI/BS-styled graphics... Amazing!
Good luck with it!
(And don't hesitate to show us more art! ;)Ã, )
Great stuff. Start scripting already.
That screenshot is simply breathtaking! And the music theme is really good too. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying making this game, since more often than not, that means that the game will be enjoyable to play. ^_^
Just a note, if I remember correctly you need Winamp 5 in order to play .ogg files, or a plugin if you're using an earlier version. This was brought up in another thread, I think the Shadowplay one, and people were having problems with the .ogg format.
Winamp 2 and 3 can be OGG files.
Looks lovely. I only have a minor complaint.
The music is ok. I like it on its own, but in comparison to the vivid and gorgeous graphics it sounds very flat and computerized. This is one title that would benefit from live music. Too much to ask, I know, but one can always dream...

Thanks for the feedback. By live music I assume you mean recording real people playing real instruments? I wish I could assemble John Williams and the Skywalker Symphony Orchestra for it, but short of that I really like what Vlad is putting together synthetically. Wait till you hear some of the background musical tracks for in-game sequences. My favorite is for a haunted underground gold mine area.... very creepy and atmospheric. I'll post that in the news and updates section of the chapter11 website when it's finally mastered and ready. I think you'll all salivate over it as much as I did. :)
Wow, this is really really some good stuff. Since I've seen the first BG i thought that this will turn out pretty darn well.
But just to confirm, this wont be for sale?
And you should definetly get an avatar so people can have fantasies about how good you are.
That's AWSOME!! :o :o
hope we see more pics soon.

That's right. 100% free, 'cuz we love adventure games that much. And we want everyone to play. :)
Wow this really looks professional! I wonder what resolution will you use for this game, because that screenshot looks really detailed. Also, is there a chance that your artists can write some sort of tutorial for background creation? And I really enjoyed reading your designers diary. It was very interesting, informative and enlightening read.
Keep up the great work!
It will be 800x600, 32-bit color. We ran a lot of tests to see how this would do, and it seems to run OK. Plus, by the time thing is released, we should be onto the next generation of machines. I think everyone will have caught up to those tech specs by then. ;)
Thanks for the kind words. We are thinking of doing some tutorials for the website at some point, but right now all our work is concentrated on the game itself.
Very nice indeed. Its good to see that this project is progressing nicely. I'll be looking forward to more releases, and especially the final game.
Wow this is looking simply awesome, I'm looking fowards to playing it!
Out of interest will the game feature voices?
I've seen this game in progress before and now that the story is complete I can hardly wait. holy moly crap my pants!
A stunning background (as I've come to expect from you guys!).Ã, I have a few crits, but as this isn't the CL, I'll keep 'em to myself!
I like the name of the town 'Old Sierra' ... is this a tribute to company Sierra?Ã, If so, nice touch.Ã, And the name fits perfectly in the context of the game's setting (either way).
I can almost hear the dry wind blowing and see the tumble weed bouncin' down the desserted streets ...

Feel free to PM me or email me with your crits... always looking to improve, if not this screen then at least not to make the same mistake for future screens.

It is a tip of the cap to Sierra On-line. There are a bunch of these scattered throughout the game, actually. I think I might set up a little contest when the game is released to see who can find all of the easter eggs. :)
Look for the next Adventure Architect design journal at AdventureGamers.com in August.
Looks fantastic from everything you've shown so far. Really looking forwards to this one.
And is there an approximate date you think when the game will be completed? Best wishes, and keep up the good work.
*Salutes* :)

Right now we're leaning toward releasing the game in four periodic episodes, each with a cliffhanger ending reminiscent of the old Saturday afternoon adventure serials that inspired this idea. We're looking at Summer 2005 for Episode I. (We don't plan to release it until it's perfect, so we're being conservative with the date at this point.)
Verrrrrrrrrry nice.
I cant wait it to be done.
And nice one that Architecht thing. :D
I don't want you all to forget about us (http://www.chapter11studios.com), or think we're not working our butts off to bring you the best damn Wild West point 'n' click comedy-adventure freeware game ever... so with that in mind, I present you with a recently completed background screen!

Can't really think clearly right now... :o
That picture simply rocks!
The Jackalopes ears look a bit funny, but then again, you put a jackalope in your game, so its even. Such a wonderful background. Promotions all around.

Coming along. I wish it would go a little faster, to be honest, but we at least make a little progress every week. I'm still very optimistic about a 2006 release. Right now, the big holdup is coding. I'm dreadful at it, but I keep chipping away. :-\
Meanwhile, it's full speed ahead on chapter two, as you can see from the scene above!
wow! first time i see this! its simply amazing! i was wondering when adventuring gaming was going to go wild west.
(although, wasnt there a tex char somewhere . . )
anyway, absolutely astounding! and you guys have a real professional website going on there.
Mordalles you have to be happy, those who saw this since the first time chapter11 announce it are literally going CRAZY to play this!...I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY IT!!!...anyway...I know the wait will be worthy...I'm sure of that... this will end up being a professional (and free) old style adventure game, a classic...
Good luck Josh Roberts, and all the chapter11 crew...
PS: hurry please ;D
I really love the look/feel/plot of this game, but I think the talk button in the GUI should change. I mean, all it is is a resized version of Jake's head, it's not too clear that it should be used for talking. Other things can be found on heads besides mouths!
Anyway, keep up the awesome work.
Wow, it's beautiful. I can't wait!
Great game! Can't wait to see it finished. Yeah wild west is cool :)
