cool! so atlast you decided to post it here! it looks great! and roxy is a foxy lady. it's gonna be fun, i can tell.

in the 1st screenshot, i would scale down the characters a bit (use roomscaling) since they look a bit big in comparison to the trees.

good luck on the game, and hope to see it finished soon!

scourge · Thu 09/02/2006 20:56:39

hey donb, looks great! Goodluck!

DanClarke · Thu 09/02/2006 21:09:01

Looks really good so far, nice character, just a small point though, i'm really puzzled as to why you want to make a 'retail' version of the game? To be honest if you're hosting the game for free then i seriously doubt anyone wil pay out for a jewel case and a few extra documents. I think you'd do better to just host everything freely.

Keep up the good work

Chicky · Thu 09/02/2006 21:18:26

Looks ace pal!

Barbarian · Thu 09/02/2006 21:55:38

Foxy indeed... *Grrrowl*

Love the art, really excellent job. I like your story idea too.
Looking forwards to seeing this game in action. Keep us updated from time to time... and, any more pics of "Roxy" would be a real treat too.
Good luck.

Nikolas · Thu 09/02/2006 22:07:20

Instead of more pics, how about an animation,. Of Rozy seducing someone? HEH? we want that! Yeah!

Donb looking really good. Hope you will release it soon enough!

DonB · Thu 09/02/2006 23:38:18

Hey all, thanks for your very motivating messages, appreciated!
Of course I will keep you guys and girls updated as much as possible, I am really working much on the game, but I'm a slow worker..
About that seducement animation.. I am still working on it.. when it's finished I will probably put it on the Critics Lounge first.

And boys (and some girls).. please keep your pants on while surfing this thread.. i know it's hot in herre but keep yourself under controlÃ,Â

Quotei'm really puzzled as to why you want to make a 'retail' version of the game

Actually.. it was more of a sort of donation-kind of thing.. but I think i will skip it since there already is a donation button on the website as well, or skip the donation thing in stead.. i thought it was a nice idea at the time.. and i thought maybe the playboy edition with Roxy Fox in it would be a nice extra if put some efford in it 8). It's like more games do, a normal free edition, and a payable version with extra's in it, just more as for the fans. I am not really sure about this all, one thing is for sure.. the normal game will be for free.. so no worries.

Anyways.. thanks for even have the efford for looking on the website, appreciated!

This game looks like it will be really fun! I don't care how slow you work or how long it takes, so long as you finish this game! Look forward to the final product,

Thanks,

Im very glad to announce that the Scorposer joined up the team, he will take up the music and sound effects for the Roxy Fox game, this gives you guys and girls a garanteed good musical experience added to the game.

Sinister · Mon 13/02/2006 06:15:04

Very, nice i love the style.

I agree with Nikolas you should show us more "exciting" screenies. Until then DonB i wish you godspeed, and may you produce the game soon.

Homer Wan · Tue 14/02/2006 04:45:10

you rock's men... keep going please, good job. :o

DanClarke · Tue 14/02/2006 19:59:28

She appears to be missing a tail in your pic at the top of your 1st post

DonB · Tue 14/02/2006 20:59:06

Hehe, yeh.. I know.. I'm working on it.. just wanted an other pic then the front view again

Why don't you find that out with Roxy when the game will be released?

JayWolf1985 · Fri 24/03/2006 06:37:02

Say Don, will you be needing any voice acting at all?
If so, I am game.

big brother · Fri 24/03/2006 16:00:22

You should make the talking portrait bigger. Right now it's the same size as the sprite's head (or close) so it's redundant.

seaduck · Fri 24/03/2006 19:04:28

It could be just me, but I like LucasArts-style or Cocktel Vision-style speech much better.

Every time I see a Sierra-style dialogue, it just like if someone slapped me in the face and said: "It's not real, it's just a story/book".

(This applies especially to seeing a message box saying what I did "You took the bread, but didn't touch the mouldy cheese." instead of seeing the character actually doing it, and possibly commenting on it...)

I really agree with Seaduck. I too prefer the message over the character's head and talks through the mouth rather than using a window with the portrait of the character.
