Looks terribly good! Stop updating this so often! I can't hide my enthusiasm. To note it, I hate FMV graphic-style games or whatever you call them. This one however itches me to play!!

I feel honored that you are looking forward to this game.

For anyone that was requesting to see in-game footage, here it is

His walking in the video is a little slower than the actually gameplay. I should have recorded it a 60fps in Fraps. Oh well

Could we have a clip with voice acting, please?

xenogia · Sat 10/04/2010 23:54:04

If the voice acting was done which it isn't, and won't be until near the end of the production.

In some wonderful good news, I now have one of the freelance writers for Retro Gamer Magazine helping me with the editing of the story of the game.

Woohoo, coolness!!!

Gosh! I've missed the good old games that used real live actors as graphics in 2D adventure games!

If you happen to need any voice actors, throw a PM at me and I will see what I can do, though I think you will probably be using the true voices of the people you have as actors in the game.

Nevertheless: great to see this sort of project is up and running! I'll definitely be playing it when it is released! Keep up the good work!

Hi WHAM,

I'll be getting different voice actors than the actual FMV characters due to the fact a lot of them don't have the time to do voice acting. And I will keep you in mind

Very cool (and impressive) Besides Martian Memorandum it also reminds me a bit of games like Noctropolis, Goldmund's Donna: Avenger of Blood and Gabriel Knight II which is a good thing

. You definitely got the mood/ atmosphere right, dark and moody + rain = awesome.

ps: Somebody commented on 'smoothing'/cleartyping the font used in the speech boxes but personally, I actually like the 'blocky' font, it gives it a bit of that retro sierra feel, which I think is kind of nice.

Looking forward to seeing this progress!

Thanks for the kind comments Buddha, since the latest AGS build though the anti-aliasing thing sort of resolved itself and still looks fantastic either way.
It's a shame that Goldmund's game was never finished, it sounded fantastic.

Here is another screenshot for anyone that is interested.

It's all looking so very awesome Xenogia.

I watched the demo with speech and here is a little nit-picking, hope you don't mind:

Don't know if this was done in post on purpose, but the main character's voice sounds a little 'boxy' to me, having a little too much reverb or something.

e.g. Even though he is standing in a living room it sounds like he is sitting in a small empty meeting-room/toilet with bare walls reflecting the sound.

If this was unintentional, then hanging up a couple of blankets (or something else that dampens the sound reflection) around the voice talent+mic while recording can help cut this down.

Anyway, keep up the good work!

Hey buddha, you did realise this is his head voice. He is not talking out aloud. As for the quick second scene, the reverb was removed.

Reading my post back I realize I picked the wrong example. He is indeed in 'head voice-over' mode in the first scene. Probably my own 'head voice' was having a nap at the time of my post.

Hahaha.. all good my friend.

Looking good! Its great to see a game set in my home town, Melbourne! Is the game inspired at all by Underbelly?

Having said that, since I'm local, if you need any help at all let me know!

Hi cosmicr. Yeah it a was little inspired by the show -- mainly the newest season "The Golden Mile". Good to see another Melbournite in the forums. I don't see that very often.

xenogia · Mon 16/08/2010 04:37:07

Just thought I'd let you know the game is still in development due to some delays from physical injuries and then sickness.

Here is a new screenshot, nothing exciting but you get the idea.

Erwin_Br · Mon 16/08/2010 15:49:20

Awesome! The latest screenshots remind me of The X-Files Game. Looking forward to this very much.
