The Forgotten Element - NEW SCREENSHOT (Rain effects and new Town pic)

[Xyndicator]

This game looks absolutely amazing! Especially the AGX module/plug-in you guys are developing. When TFE is all said and done, I think AGX itself deserves its own spot on the front page.

A question for lemmy & binky:
Is the AGX module/plug-in in its final form to what you guys need it to be to push forward on TFE? If so, will the community get to see how AGX works under the hood or will the community get it as-is? I'm sure many a-clever programmers (me excluded, unfortunately  ) are probably interested to see if they can tweak AGX.

Edit:
After looking at screenshots of Mia, I'm guessing the overly tight clothing is to avoid difficult walk cycle animations? Then again, a long flowing dress like Nellie Cootalot's would totally avoid the need to animate feet.

We may well release the source code one day, but it would be unlikely to be until it had matured sufficiently (and we'd gone over it with a fine tooth comb tidying, possibly? )

More likely we would allow for custom AGX commands in AGS script, or/and add some kind of plug-in interface (plug-ins for plug-ins... geez ) but I dare say at some point in the future we'll probably just release the code.

Thanks everyone for the lovely comments!

Oh and m0ds, we said they were fully justified in the storyline though if you want to lick them, make sure to dry the screen afterwards :p

Briliant game! Briliant animation and graphics!

[proximity]

  I haven't heard much from you lately. What's the progress ? When is it going to be released ? Do you have anything new ? Please keep us updated lemmy. I've been waiting for sooooo long my favorite game

[lemmy101]

Hi guys, thanks for the interest!

There has quite a lot of progress in backgrounds and development of AGX, not anything we would like to show though as it's all either under the bonnet stuff, or spoilers.

Unfortunately real life commitments have meant we've not got a lot done lately. We're still working on it, and we'll never abandon TFE, but the sad truth of trying to juggle busy day jobs and such meant it's had to take the back seat in the last few months.  :'( we've hardly updated our blog or anything either

We'll get back on the case soon though, promise!

[Xyndicator]

We all wait with baited breath. You can do it!

[Radisshu]

The graphics are very well-done, despite the uhmmm objectificaion.

[proximity]

I want to ask something about the graphics. How do you call your drawing style ? Does it have an any name in the art drawing ?

[G]

Well, as far as it is not a "graphic question" but an "art question". I should say that those graphics could be called "Realist". But as far as these are dynamic graphics rather than static pictures, we could call them "Dynamic Realism".

And due to those are low-res graphics it could be "Dynamic Pixelated Realism" or "Low-Res Dynamic Realism"

But as far as I know about art this could be a entirely new kind of artistic conception.

I'm afraid I have no terms for it, it's just how it turns out

It's Lemmy&Binky-style if you want to call it anything

Update: Things are still progressing - no final date as yet though, but the interest in the game is appreciated

Graphics are brilliant. Wish I could draw like that.


Main character is a wee bit Lara Crofty though... Suppose it's at least original for an adventure game (anything but the down-on-his-luck, unemployed/not-too-well-off male in his early-to-mid-twenties... like 90% of the games out there)

[m0ds]

I hope there's a nipples easter egg. Or nudity patch. Otherwise I guess I'll have to try and enjoy the story or something.

Seems like there's something else you could be doing than watching 16-bit porn.

Like... watching HD-quality porn

[m0ds]

Sorry dude, 15 second clips all the way

You're quite obviously a noob in the art of porn-theft

(Hey, I'm not going to encourage the exploitation of desperate women by giving my money to the porn industry... I'm a freedom fighter!)

[Galen]

I'm deeply disturbed on how an extra three pixels to the chest can get you guys so riled up.

[m0ds]

Crazy, it's not every day an AGS game features a protagonist that puts Lara to shame...every time this thread crops up, I can't help but let things in my pants crop up too. Don't blame me, blame the developers.

[Emerald]

I don't understand why she doesn't just wear a bigger shirt which she can actually button up...

[LimpingFish]

Because then her breasts wouldn't be visible. She has nice breasts.

...

I like...breasts.

You realise 'she' is a drawing, right?
