Taken A Point & Click Myst type game By Candle

You went to a party and met a girl and now you have no idea where you are.
You soon find out you're not alone.

This is the demo and I'm about 1/2 way done with the game so will get this one soon.

This is pretty neat.  I wish you could interact with more stuff though, like the tank, lights, and door.  This looks like it could be very creepy when finished.  What program did you use to draw the backgrounds, btw?  They're beautiful!

Oh, and I'm not sure if I'm lost, or just stupid though at one point.

When I interact with the book (that fell from the row of books?) It says "Drag map to here to read".

I don't understand, I can't drag the map, and I don't know where to drag it either.

Anyhow, looking forward to progress on this one.

-Regards, Akumayo

The map is in the inv to drag to the book. sorry didn't make that clear.
I still have to to the map frame so it just goes to a blank frame right now with a return to the last pager you where at.
There will be more stuff to do in the game as I haven't got all that done yet.

The GUI icons don't match the game's overall graphic style at all... which looks extremely nice Downloading now...

Ya I don't make a gui. it is from ROTN games.
I'm wondering if I should remove all the icons but the Inv , the save and load game and the exit and make it stay down all the time.

That sounds like a good idea. Are you redoing the GUI graphics? I might be able to make some if 3D is your forte.

a new GUI would be nice if you want to make one for it.

a gui that stays down all the time might be just the thing if it didn't contain load/save options. these should always be pop-up in my opinion.
you should have a look at that game... Black Mirror, wasn't it? That's a style that would fit in nicely.

before i download the demo, i just want to know:
is this myst style as in puzzles or just perspective because myst puzzles are very bad.
Title: Re: Taken A Point & Click Myst type game By Candle
Post by: Candle on Thu 11/05/2006 21:20:56
I would say perspective. there is not a lot of puzzles yet in the demo as I'm still doing them but the demo gives you an idea of the game.
There is not a lot of NPC right now but will be more closer to the end of the game.

No problem. I have enjoyed working on the music. I hope the guys (and girls) playing the game will notice it.

Nice demo, but a message popping up saying The End for now was a bit...
Not fun lol
Also, in the beginning, when the white words appear, the part that should say: When I came back
actually says: When I can back
Overall, nice demo, got me scared :P
