I've currently put 'Dick LaRenzo: Secret Agent!' on hold for a while while I make 'STRANDED'.

STRANDED is a PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR set in 2005.

You are tired and frustrated businessman Peter Reeve.

Here's the blurb:

During The Summer of 2005, a businessman was travelling in his car halfway across the country for a job interview.

Experiencing car problems, he pulled into an innocent-looking village.

This village wasn't on the map.

This is his story.

Screenshots (intentionally dark):

Contains scenes of HORROR VIOLENCE, PROFANITY & NUDITY.
Suitable for people aged 18 and over.

Story: 90%
Graphics: 5%
Sound/Music: 80%

Looks really great Darren!

Darren,

Too bad you've put 'Dick LaRenzo: Secret Agent, I would have love seeing completion of that but I'm sure this temporary.

Be sure however to update that original post and ask Darth to lock it.

Congratulation also for finding a better file hosting and I would definately recommend to others where I'm doing some beta work.

I have downloaded your game and will comment later.

I know there is nothing to do in demo. I recommend adding extra things to it so you received feedback.

Cheers Splat44,

But remember its a work-in-progress. I've got to customise the inventory bar and quit options etc. This release is to basically give out a feel of the mood which I'm trying to create.

I'm trying to make it as eerie and as 'jumpy' as possible.

Not to bad just need to work on his walkcycle a little.

Mordalles · Fri 21/10/2005 23:02:30

looks really nice and spooky, just the way i like it.

You should host it on www.savefile.com , its less annoying and has no wait times
unlimited space and you don't even have to be a member to upload it free
(i would recommend becoming a member since you can delete)

Cheers Tim, I've updated the ZIP file and uploaded to savefile.com.

So has anybody actually previewed Stranded yet and if so do you think it captures the right atmosphere?

Rosie · Mon 24/10/2005 04:51:20

Looks really good, Am I suppose to be able to get out of the first screen where he is with the car>

??

Mozesh · Mon 24/10/2005 11:17:58

Yeah it sure captures the right atmosphere, I really like it.

@Rosie:

Spoiler

The hood of the car....

Yes you are. It's possible to get to the second screen and with the version I'm uploading now, you'll be able to look at the doll too.

Looks very good and quite spooky, but I think that the character does not fit in it as good as the other graphics. I think it have too much cartoon look.

Kal-El · Mon 24/10/2005 13:54:58

Yeah, this is my major quibble with it too.

Do you think that perhaps a 'real person' would look much better? i.e. use actual snapshots of a human and import them into the game?

That's a tricky question. I think it could work but I personally would use a computer craphics made character.

Maybe you should try to use real person and see what others think?

Kal-El · Mon 24/10/2005 18:39:47

Yeah, it's something I'm definately going to consider. I suppose it'd kind of be like Gabriel Knight II.

Anyhow, here's another screenshot for you all

Mozesh · Mon 24/10/2005 20:52:32

Well after playing the newest version I can honestly say I'm really looking forward to this

Man I just loved the doll scene, you caught me of guard there

Spoiler

You actually scared me.....wow....

Thanks Mozesh! I know that bit doesn't need any re-doing lol.

Here's a test screen with a 'real' person on. I just got the guy off the internet, I don't know who he is but it's only to see if it looks better than drawn 'cartoony' characters.

I know what I think.
