Title: The Deed 1.1 (revamp)
Post by: Crimson Wizard on Thu 28/01/2010 16:29:53
Allright, here, I am making a revamped version of my first complete AGS game ever and my first MAGS game ever, "The Deed".
Original version was made in a great haste (I believe I spent 1-2 days writing story and puzzles, then about 4 days scripting and drawing backgrounds as crazy), and it came out rather raw: there were bugs, there were language mistakes, there was default Sierra GUI and main character was represented by recoloured Roger sprites.

My initial MAGS September '09 entry: http://www.mediafire.com/file/ohm12xt1oko/TheDeed.zip

My current intent is to -
+ Improve the user interface;
+ Use original character art;
+ Slightly improve background art (just add more details perhaps);
+ Add some object animations (probably);
+ Add sounds? Not sure.
+ Fix 99% bugs;
+ Leave story and puzzles as they were;
+ Add russian translation (because why not).


Now, official stuff.....

The Deed
1.1 (revamped version)

Length: Short game
Genre: Philosophic fairy tale
Parameters: 320x200, 32-bit colour

STORY

In this game you are playing a young brave knight, who was sent on a
quest to retrieve a magick flower from a faraway place. In fact, his
travel is left behind the curtains, and gameplay starts when he
arrives to his destination. All he needs is to pick up the flower.
But it appears to be not so easy...
Although game is very short, it features 2 endings. First is quite
obvious, second will require solving additional puzzles.

Yep. It's my fault the completion date has been changed :)
But the work on the MAGS project draws to completion, and then I'll be fully devoted to "The Deed" ;)

Ah, that one. Currently suspended, I have to finish some other time-consuming things first. But I'll continue working on that one for sure.
