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.

Nice one candle! This looks awesome!
*yanks up the brightness*
very nice!
Thanks guys.
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.
One more image of the game.

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.
New GUI that drops down.

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.
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.
yay
Little update.
Going to get this one done if it takes me all summer..

candle did you use unreal editor in the first image ?
im looking to make the same style 1st person game.
i am using unreal editor to setup my scene since i can move meshes around how i like, say for an open chest or closed chest, etc.
all done via triggers and perspective actors.
ill keep an eye on your progress mate, looks good so far!
Yes I did and it seems to work good for that.
If you need any help with your game feel free to PM any questions and I'll try to help the best I can.
thanks candle, ill pm you with some general question if u care to help! btw i just played taken and wow, i love the flickering lights and resident evil feel of the game!
Sure I can help if you need it.
Lights were done with the Wild Color module by Akumayo .
Find it in the http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?board=10.0 forum .
Use the plugins they are great for stuff.
Randall Flagg will be helping me with the Music for the Taken Game .
Thanks Randall..
No problem. I have enjoyed working on the music. I hope the guys (and girls) playing the game will notice it.
Great to have your music on the game .
Would like to welcome deftonesrule to the Taken Game project .
deftonesrule will be helping with the Game backgrounds.
Some of his work.

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
Tom
yes that demo is a little old now and lot's of that has been fix .
Thanks for playing.
