The McCarthy Chronicles: The Conclusion.

Calin Leafshade · Thu 27/01/2011 03:47:01

I don't usually do GiPs but I thought i'd do this one just to show that I am actually doing something with this game (albeit slowly while I write my main project). So with that in mind:

Can Rick McCarthy uncover the plot rooted in the Grosvenor household?
Will our hero die from slow suffocation (I would guess not.. it would be a short game otherwise)
And just what IS his secret?

Find out all this and more in:

The McCarthy Chronicles: The Conclusion!

I know I said it was going to be a trilogy but it seems like a 2 parter for this chronicle seems more suitable.

Features:
-An innovative new dialog system!
-More graphical effects than you can shake a stick at including:
Real time rain effects with depth of field and motion blur,
Magical particle effects!
Possibly some reflections on something..
-Updated graphics
-Less shitty writing, I promise.

Projected release date: May 2011 I hope.

Team:
Me: Everything I usually do.
Pinback: Portraits, some interface graphics
Mordalles: Original Sprites
Sookiesock: Backgrounds & Animation.

Let's see if I can do better with McCarthy second time around.

Nice graphics.

I really like the new background art - much more moody and detailed compared to episode 1.

Don't get too excited.. it's not *that* innovative.

It's mostly stolen from Mass Effect and Alpha Protocol. I expect fewer diaries, more gameplay, fancier visuals, and a satisfying ending. And I know you're going for a really dark aesthetic, but you should definitely include a gamma slider at the least and preferably settings for brightness and contrast as well for those with shitty displays.

Looks great bud, nice progression from the old art style.

More suitable for a lazy bum!
Looks good. I await eagerly.

Yay!! I really enjoyed the first chapter so I now I very much look forward to this.

Saren · Fri 28/01/2011 01:37:34

You've made my day! Will there still be voice-acting?

SookieSock · Fri 28/01/2011 02:16:02

Yes there will be full voice acting.

Scarab · Fri 28/01/2011 06:26:52

Sweet!

Looking forward to this, your skills have really improved since your first game, and I have no doubt they will shine through in this project.

Good luck.

Hooray! I was waiting for this!

Okay, I'll only await it with mild to moderate interest.
