Post by: Seb on Mon 27/06/2011 17:07:50
The game is now out, please visit this thread http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=44162.0

The Story

J. Stanson is a multi award winning horror novelist, known around the globe for his prowess in weaving tales of misery and woe. But one fateful evening his role is transformed from narrator of the terrifying, to subject of it, as he and his fellow authors are thrust into a nightmare situation of their very own. Can you survive the night to tell the tale, or will this be the end of Stanson's story?

Progress
Story:100%
Scripting:100%
Backgrounds:100%
Animation:85%

I hope to release the game within 2 weeks, this is almost entirely dependant on how long the animation takes me.

If you have any questions about the game please feel free to ask

Looks good, anything with someone hanging upside down from the ceiling gets my interest. How many rooms are there?  any music ( not totally necessary) ?  mind bending puzzles?  Can you die ?

Thanks for your interest :)

Theres about 12 rooms in all, I'd say the game is probably 30-45 mins in length, depending on how quick you work the puzzles out, of which there are quite a few pretty interesting ones. There are several opportunities to pop your clogs in the game.

Nice, I like the story idea, and I'm a sucker for anything spooky, dark, creepy etc.
good luck with the animations, I'm currently banging my head on the keyboard with my own. Hope to see it soon.
