The Infinity String: Truth Behind the Immortality
-------------------------------------------------------------
Your name is Yerik Elnar. (Your mother was russian (name) and your father from USA (surname). You are scientist working for United States.
In late 2009 a ruins were found in Antartica by Russian explorers. A year later a complete research base was built to study the findings. Team consisted of 7 russians, 5 americans and 2 germans. 1 year later USA send you as an additional help. You are brought by the helicopter. But where is everybody !?
What should you expect:
-2 completly different worlds: Cold, icy Antartica and Warm, green junge with caves
-DIG like interface (right click LOOK, left click ACTION)
-2 different GUIS
-res. 320x240, 32-bit
-most of the music from Vangelis (as it should create great atmosphere)
-more serious subject

Totally Great, Sektor! I'm looking forward to this one(It sort of reminds me of SGA but better.) You have got to send me a tutorial explaining how you did those pics(MSN?)!
Oh my! This looks really nice so far.
Nice attention to the detail on your backgrounds. Story idea seems like it could be interesting too. If this game has similar quality and effort that you put into your "StarGate" game, then it should be great. Keep up da good work!
That looks amazing!
However, I have two concerns:
1. Why not original music? Of course, Vangelis is magnifficent, but I still think that in each and every game original music is better.
2. What kind of ruined Stargate adventure was the poor English(no offence meant)... I hope you'll get a dialogue adviser this time.
Good luck with the project!
Hey Sektor you are insanely GREAT first xenophobe than Star gate and now this WOW!
Your art is pro and you make games in our favorite genre sci-fi thanksÃ, 8)
Hardly wait to play it

I don't know, as I am not selling it, i think i can use other music, as i don't know much about composing. And as i am listening to current songs, i can picture a scenery in my head. And i can asses how good it will look in the game. There are a lot of song to choose from and they are very good for the adventure games.
I will try to fix the english before officialy release it .

Thank you. !
Hvala ti :)
The graphics are damn good! And the story itself looks awesome and kinda mysterious! I just like games like that!
Can't wait for it!
This looks awesome, background man. Goodluck!
great! those backgrounds really look awesome! i hate you even more now, since it's seems you're backgrounds just get better and better Ã, ;), and they also seem really consistent in this game! remember, you said end of 2006! no later! Ã, ;D otherwise bad things are going to happen.
Hehe, I hope to release it in 2006 :) . If not, i will help you kick the hell out of myself :) .
Looks awesome.
DAMN :o
This looks AWESOMELY GREAT!
I will for sure play this game when it is done! ;D
Wow, I'm sure this is gonna be another great game! I enjoyed Stargate Adventure very much.
So, you're inspiring yourself by The Dig's interface, huh? I think that's a great idea, btw. I've never actually played it, just played the demo recently, and I realized that you've inspired yourself by this game when making Stargate adventure...
When O'Neal says he's going to light the torch, Samantha tells him to be careful... there is a VERY similar scene in The Dig (pulling a cable off the alien ship)... is this an intentional reference? It struck me immediately that it's a reference, but now I'm not so sure....
Anyway, I'll be really looking forward to playing this, just be sure to have a native english speaker proofread it, it will make a huge difference, beleive me!
Yes, i will try to get someone to "translate" the game.
Hmm, about that "be carefull" stuff, I must say that I am not sure, it could be subliminal message from the Dig :) so i used it whith out even know it.
Yes, I guess i was inspired by the Dig in many thing, like those red/orange clouds i used in my backgrounds and interface... I try to be as close as i could be to the "graphics" style, but i am still far away, as the Dig has the most beautifull scenery in 320x200 resolution, maybe some day i will get close. Still I wonder how did they draw those backgrounds and character animations.. hmm.-.
Since your screenshots do always remind me of The Dig, you can't be THAT far away from it. At least they have a similar atmosphere. And The Infinity String looks awesome already. Can't wait to play it.
cheers

Ahhhhhhh, I remember this! That excellent GUI! I was waiting to hear about this game. Looks fantastic!
I have one little question which may be the result of my own stupidity but... you said he got his name from his mother and his father was American. His last name seems Russian to me, shouldn't his last name be American? Sorry, I bet it -is- an American name... if so, please disregard my comment.
Well, actually, i am not completely sure. As far as i have searched the web i found that Elnar is American. But I am not very sure, because i live in Europe :). Maybe some native american could confirm that. ?
Elnar sounds a bit Irish to me :)
Am looking very forward to this game.
Looks excellent so far...
:)
This game is up there in my what i want for christmas list :)
No really great work so far sektor 13 and after your stargate game I cant wait to see what you come up with!!!
I want to ask about the name. The Infinity String: Truth Behind the Immortality sounds funny because:
(a) When talking about a certain truth, the article should be included. So it would be 'The Truth Behind...
(b) The same thing, but backwards, with 'Immortality'. Unless you're talking about a certain immortality of a certain thing, it should be immaterial and be written without the article. So it would be '...Behind Immortality.
And the complete would be The Infinity String: The Truth Behind Immortality.
The name is misleading. Is it intentional or what? Truth should have an article in any logical sense, but Immortality doesn't necessarily need to be immaterial, if it corresponds to something specific. Sorry to bring ants to your picnic :D, but it's something that's been bothering me.
And on-topic, the game looks awesome, especially the color scheme. Especially looks to have a great atmosphere and it better have a story that lives up to the awesome graphics :D.

:) Well, as you must know i am not native English speaker, so mistakes are often. Thanks for explanation,
It is very possible that i will change name to something else: The Infinity String: ? XXX ?
WOW! I can't wait for this one!!!
Hi, looks great!
An idea (thought / suggestion) about the title:
I thing that any of the two parts ( "The Infinity String" and "The Truth Behind Immortality" ) wouild fit as a game title. They both are impressive, but it's kinda long and confuse when put together, because they sound so similar. It also might be because they bouth would start with the article ("The").
I would try only "The Infinity String" or only "The Truth Behind Immortality"
Or if you need to make a cycle under the infinity string title, use something shorter for the second part, like
"The Infinity String: Behind Immortality" or
"The Infinity String: Immortal" or maybe
"Infinity String: The Truth Behind Immortality"
Of course, the second part should be written very small, under the first one.
Good luck with the game, and I will play it when ready.

Are there to be any more characters in this because I have only seen the one player character.
looks great!
hope its out soon!
Yes, i expect to use 4 - 5 interactable characters. But non of them are drawen yet.
Hey, any updates? ;D.
Just had to ask :P.
Looking forward to this game alot, awesome grapichs!
Hey
There was some progress made, but it's going slow, as i don't have much time to work on it. Slow and steady :)
Okey :P.
Good to hear that it is still in progress though ;D.
You been doing a good job so far it seems like :P.
Looking forward to it!!
btw sector, i wonder are you russian living in slovenia or Slovanian? Cause the thing is that there is no russian name like Yerik. It's Slovenian or maybe from Czech Republic. It sounds very similar to russian Yaroslav, but it's not the same. So maybe stating taht the main char has russian name, maybe it will be better to change to Yaroslav. Otherwise it's wrong :(
I like you games and style. reminds me of The DiG. Even the character stance is somewhat similar to the one the main char in The DiG had.
P.S. maybe we can get in touch on MSN, i want to discuss something with you bud.
MSN: cyberion@hotmail.com
and now that this old thread is brought up anyway I would like to say that this looks awsome and I hope the date (end of 2006) still stands. :)

Hmm I really hope soo...
Well bud, it's a polsih name if i'm right.
The russian name will be YAROSLAV.
Here is a very good site, where you can look up the russian names and get some knowledge of their origin. http://www.behindthename.com/nmc/rus2.php
Holy cow this looks awesome!!! I didn't expect the screenshots to look this good! The details in graphics are astounding!!!
Please finish soon!
Wow, looks awesome. I enjoyed stargate a lot.
Any updates? ;D
Well, i started to work on the game again, mostly on puzzles and scripting.
Game will consist of TWO major parts, I was thinking of adding extra part (third) but it will be shorter. Antarctica is almost complete in all aspects, for jungle part a have only background and main character (as it will be the same person but a bit different :) )for now.
And two new pics (not sure if i published them yet :):
