A recent work.


Visit the official TMC website for more info.

Looks awesome! I'll download the demo at once.

[Blade]

Looks good. A lot better than what I tried to do for sometime now - a game about an LAPD detective.
I'm getting your demo now.

[hedgefield]

Yes, I remember your game. Looks to be a good game too. All you need is a little help with the grahics and I'm sure your game will be just as good.

[hedgefield]

I've updated the demo to V.0.051. I added a new GUI and a Readme file.


[EDIT] Here's a preview of the cinematic that connects the demo with the rest of the game:

Looks good .
I see you used Eric's (MrColossal's) character template ,did a nice job on him .

[hedgefield]

Thanks! I suck at animation so Eric's templates were a big help.

TMC is now also available for download on Fileshack!

Hi,

I did play and replayed demo with the new GUI and it great.

The only recommendations has something to do with GUI.

When going places such to offices or to the van, it might best not to use "Use Icon". Normally "Use Icon" should be use to Open/close/pick up or interactions with inventory's item on things. Pehaps, First icon can be changed to "foot" and go from there.

Good Luck

[Mozesh]

Looks great, gonna download the demo right now

[BerserkerTails]

Wow, this looks really cool. I'll be sure to download the demo when I get home!

[hedgefield]

Thanks Splat44, implemented your idea!

just a heads-up: I re-did the site design. Now in slick metal style! It's not finished yet, I plan to add some more goodies and eyecandy, but it's better than the black typed layout.

I hope to resume work on the game as soon as possible, I just haven't had much time lately...

[hedgefield]

Ok, so here I am again! It's been a slow period, but now that I have a week off I've resumed work. So far I've done 2 new rooms, and I'm reworking a lot of sprites.

Here's some eyecandy:

I improved on the Frank sprite to make him look less like a... well, a nervous actor comes closest to describing it I guess. You know what I mean.


INDEED! The chokehold! Interrogate this half-witted guard to progress in the game.

[Gord10]

Hey, looks very cool! Looking forward to play.

[Kinoko]

It looks really good, I love the story idea and for some reason, I just love the graphical style. Good luck with this one! I can't wait to play it.

[Abisso]

Even if the storyline doesn't amaze me (I don't like cop-stories) I like the graphics and especially the use of comics as interludes to an act. It reminds me of Max Payne's games. Congrats!

[Mozesh]

Wow, those new screenies (to me that is) look great.
Especially the one where he grabs that guy .
Keep it up

Sounds a bit too much like Enter the Matrix or The Suffering for my liking, but will still be an amazing hit. That Comic sort of thing is awesome for the Cutscenes rulz!

[hedgefield]

I can assure you it will not be like that. The closest you could come to describe it would indeed be Max Payne-ish I guess. But minus the philosofical stuff and the constipated grimace thing...

Anyway, hello! Yesh, I have returned. It's been a hectic period, and I've had very little time to do, well anything really. Luckily this period is drawing to a close, and I've had some time to work on the game again. I spent all afternoon coding a sequence I've had laying around for a while. All I'm saying it involves a nurse...and a blue cup!




Thanks for the feedback guys!

[NeunLeben]

Cool...

Lots of influence of Broken Sword heh?

[Neil Dnuma]

Looking good! Can't wait to play this.

This is not the forum for criticizing, but I think those outlines are a bit heavy. If you only got rid of the "double pixels" it would look even better
