The Cat Lady

[Tabata]

Yeah! 
A bloody cool time is getting near!

[m0ds]

Fantastic! I didn't realize all that 3D work went into it.

Hello Mr Dream ! Glad to see another french guy on the AGS forum.

Thanks for the pics, Grim 

Have you planned a fully voice acted game or not ? (with Dave Gilbert's help).

How many Mo ?

Have you planned an interview as for Downfall ? (DevHardy for instance)

[Grim]

It is planned as voice acted release, but whether it's with Dave's help or someone else it has not been decided yet. There are more players at this table lately, it seems...

As for Downfall, I've done so many interviews I am really not planning on doing any more! I think I said all there was to say about that game;)

[Mr.Dream]

Wonderful!

How many hours for one sprite of animation? xD

Good luck for the next phase :p

Good news and bad news, I hope to help Grim with the voices and translations, amongst other tasks to bring TCL to the Euro market and beyond... The good news is that the game itself is finished, Grim has been adding the final touches and going over his bug list, so it exists in its entirety, woohoo! The bad news however, is that it will still be a good month or two before the game is out, as voicing, testing and translations are yet to be finished. But it's looking great! Kudos to Grim and all of his hard work.

Even better news perhaps is that the demo WILL be ready soon, so you'll finally be able to lay your eyes on this fantastic horror!

[Mr.Dream]

Excellent news!
So good luck for the final work.

P.S: Good cover

YAY great news. I know this will be in digital form when it comes but if successful enough is there ever a possibility of a Retail Box version?=D I love the retail box's lol Has there ever been consideration to sell signed art of the game? 

[Surdy]

Congratulations Grim, your baby looks wonderful !! 

Good news for our dear Cat Lady.

Like others I am interested in a box collector's edition as U.K Machinarium even the price is a little bit higher... 

[m0ds]

Grim very much wants that so you can rest assured hard copies will be available, and perhaps even something bigger and boxier than just a DVD-rom

[Snarky]

Yay stack of floppy disks!

[Grim]

Hello;) Yes, it's true. It seems it takes me about three years to make a game;) It was much more intensive this time, though... While Downfall started as a little "once a week" kind of project, the new game has been very much a full-time job and I can now see that if I ever make a game again, I will not do it alone, because it's just bordering on impossible... I do hope this effort will pay off. I feel I've done my absolute best... 

I started speaking with mOds about a month ago and I have a feeling he understands what's the best route to take with TCL and is very passionate about making his new business glow. He's offered to help in areas I'd otherwise struggle with- I'm particularly excited about the voice acting! With mOds being an AGS legend for a long time, I think I can trust my "baby" is in the right hands!:) Maybe I'll finally find out what's that "I love Mark Lovegrove" thread all about!:) (it was too looooong to read;))

   While I'm trying to add the final polish to an otherwise finished game, there are things that get in the way. As most of you here make games too, you'll probably agree when I say the main one is "life" No, this actually sounds awful... But while there are times I feel like I should spend some time working on the game ( as I see it pretty much as my second job these days) life comes along and I always choose wife/family, who need me to be there for them, and they'll always be the priority. I think they've put up with enough from me, anyway.... My mind has been somewhere else for a very long time- the dark twisted world of the Cat Lady, and it's been a tough ride and my shield from a grim reality, something I could always fall back on to.

  I don't know if it makes sense... I am pretty tired and stuck on a 12 night shift in the hospital. The main thing I wanted to say is this: screen7 and Harvester Games are working together and I am really excited about this!!! Watch this space!:)

Money already saved for this gem.

[Grim]

Finished.


Now external testing is starting and voices will be recorded and added. The game is fully playable, though, and I can't find any bugs- surely some will be found by other testers...

[LTGiants2000]

Grim, the game looks great. If you are looking for voice actors or doing auditions please let me know. Thanks!

[Dualnames]

Finished? What year is this?

Joke aside, well done. Everyone has been looking forward to this.

[Chicky]

Finished.

Fantastic news! I am very much looking forward to this, it seems you have managed to breach the gap between typical point and click fans and horror junkies. I will spread the word, do you still need voice actors?

[Grim]

LTGiants2000 and Chicky: Thanks:) And very kind of you to offer! For the moment mOds is in charge of voice acting and in case he's missed this I'll PM him, so he can PM you if needed. I know he's got some actors lined up already, but we can probably always use some more.

Dualnames: You will kill me when you see what I've done with your brilliant interface!!!:)

[Surdy]

I know the game is finished but can you give us a date of release ? July ? August ? More? 

[Surdy]

Hey Grim, any news with the production of voices? A date of release perhaps ?
