Well it's been half a decade or something - seems like about time for us to produce another point and click!
Strangeland
A man awakes in an otherworldly carnival and watches a gold-haired woman hurl herself down a bottomless well for his sake. He seeks empty answers from mocking ravens, an eyeless scribe, a living furnace, a mismade mermaid, and many more who dwell within the park. All the while, something awful screeches from the top of a towering roller-coaster, and he knows that until he destroys this Dark Thing, the woman will keep jumping, falling, and dying, over and over again ....

Looks great. Best of luck.
Same kind of Sanitarium?

Games with this much brown aren't usually good looking games, you broke the mould! Intriguing universe.
That face house looks scary. Would totally enter :D
Good luck on producing this game and keep us posted :)

Take a look at Primordia.
Looks A LOT like a darker version of the dream sequence in Shardlight (save for the screenshot with the big face). I'm sold.
This looks amazing! ;-D

True, I bought that as well, but like most pc games I haven't got around to playing any for some time. Anyway, I was trying to say something positive believe it or not, ha.
I do believe it.
So excited for this one!
Looking awesome and intriguing!
Good luck with production. (nod)
Looks great Pinback! I'm eager to walk through that awesome doorway and start the adventure.
Great news! I loved Primordia. This is looking really good as well, definitely looking forward to it ;-D
This looks absolutely gorgeous and I'm curious to see if the world in the screenshots are from a dream sequence or another dimension.
Either way this looks great! ;-D
Thanks so much for the comments y'all!
I'll try to keep an eye on/update this thread with more details when time permits - so yeah watch this space.
I like the palette comments and comparisons to Shardlight - hehehe very kind. :)
@blondebraid All shall soon be revealed in the waxing of the moon... Or posted here as screenshots, one of the two!
Day 1 purchaser! Full marks for art, concept, and trailer. Primordia converted me to AGS, and I think that Strangeland may keep me in AGS a bit longer!
Ooo...This looks exciting. Can't wait to see a bit more.
Hello Pinback,
Is it Miranda Gauvin's voice in the trailer? Is she playing a role in the game (voice or something)?
Graphics look so great & remember the same Sanitarium's spooky head of clown circus & amazing so dark mood :D
Can't wait, folks & remember: keep up the good work!

Yes! Indeed it is Miranda Gauvin and yes, we're hoping to have her as part of the voice cast for Strangeland - I won't say to what extent yet because I don't want to spoil anything.
Sanitarium has indeed been a fairly big inspiration (at least on the art/atmosphere) side of things.
Thanks @SilverSpook & @Two Tales!
Little update; testing is underway but we're doing some major retooling alongside - part of this process will be adding vision sequences, and here's a taste of that;

Wow! Just amazing! :grin:
Really love all the artwork, but especially that last shot with the woman's face. :grin:
I NEED to play this game!
That last screenshot truly looks creepy, most intriguing!
what's so creepy about that, I feel like that every monday morning ;)
Any update on Strangeland?
Strangeland is still daily being worked on! Lots of pretty screens courtesy of Victor
Holy shit, we're updating this very slowly, gonna try and share stuffsies then!
Here's a video that showcases:
[1] Text Animations
[2] Custom Dialog Options
[3] Wave distortion plugin.It's a bit wip, but I figured I'd share anyways <3
This is really pretty. Also sounds like nightmares! I am interested :D
Looks awesome! Really excited for this.
It looks like Dark seed, but a little better! :P

If this is the type of stuff you got to show, you really should post updates more often :-D
Very eerie and atmospheric and while I'm not 100% sure I fully understand what's going on in this scene, it's still extremely captivating.
A small update I'm not sure how to do gifs properly here, but here is the tweet!

Lookin' fantastic man! This is giving me nostalgia waves, going to have to go replay Primordia again.
Meanwhile, since I last posted here, an update.
-No more shall the game be bound by ags default savestates, I have went through the amazing trouble to code my own (not transferable to a plugin or module), so yay!!
Here's a visual effect for your eyes!

Thank you all for your comments!
Long time no see, I have eye candy stuff, but the game is heavily being worked on, grasping depth and substance every waking minute (at least I like to think it does)
We waiting in silence... 8-)

Would it be possible to buy it outside of steam? Like, but keys directly from you, so steam doesn't get that sweet 30%?
