THE GUTTENBURG PROJECT - Fight Sequence Demo Available

[skuttleman]

Current Status:
There is a DEMO of a fighting sequence that will appear 2 or 3 times throughout the game. Check it out!


SPECIAL THANKS to SSH's Walkcycle Generator, without which this game would never have made it this far.




Story:
Justin Time, seasoned spy for the United Kingdom's Secret Intelligence Service, has become jealous of the new up and coming agent, Alexa Dupree, for consistently making him look bad by kicking ass and taking names. When The SiS Chief, Dick Dodge, sends Alexa on a very important mission - instead of Justin - Justin decides to use the opportunity to make Alexa look bad and reclaim his status as top agent. Little does Justin know there is more at stake than just his reputation and he'll have to work with his rival, Alexa, to uncover a plot that will take all their cunning and a better part of their wit to surmount. Can you help Justin and Alexa pick up seemingly random objects for use in puzzles that - were you to face them in real life - would be better solved by just driving to the nearest hardware store and buying a sledge hammer?

OK. I've put together a fighting sequence that will appear a few times in the game (just 2 or 3 at most). Here is a DEMO of the first fight sequence. There is a pdf explaining the controls. The controls are displayed in-game so you shouldn't NEED to read the pdf, but it might be helpful all the same. I am seeking feedback about a few points on this, so check out this THREAD after you play the demo and leave me your feedback. Thanks!

I'm not very good about keeping this up to date (mostly because I doubt anyone is following this thread), but I have been working on this on and off for a while now. I'm pretty proud about how everything is developing, except - of course - the poor graphics which I am doing myself (unless / until someone volunteers to help out???)
