== The Strange Day ==

Updated: 21th of July, 2003.

It is perhaps the most powerful moment of the night. That precarious border between night and dawn, when the sun is about to send its first greyness into the early morning skies. It is at this moment that the forces of the night are at their strongest, just before waning away into the shadows.

At such a time, the first kidnapping happened. A scream cut through the night, followed by a big splash of water and then... only silence. What befell this poor soul, up so early? What dangers lurk in the shadows of our world, forever struggling to return to it? Difficult questions to answer... are you sure you want to know the answer?

Yes, the Daonne Sidhe are trying to regain their powers of old. You, as Ben, soon find both your parents abducted and you the next victim! You can now get a taste of what the final game will offer in terms of graphics, gameplay and atmosphere.

I am actually looking for two people to help me out with two things...

1) Music
I suck at making MIDI files. I am secretly hoping one of the musical masterminds in these fora are willing to help me out. I'm looking for a rather ochestral soundtrack not at all unlike Gabriel Knight 1. MIDI, of course.

2) Sound Effects
If anyone could help me with the sound effects, that would be appreciated too. Right now, the game is severely lacking in the audio department.

That being said... enjoy this demo! And any comments regarding it, please let me know!

Looking good! I posted something on the forum too.

Nice art! :o
I really can't wait until this comes out. When do you estimate it will be released?

Hobbes · Sat 03/05/2003 18:40:55

Hard to say, really. I'm hoping this year, but I don't want to rush it. Right now I'm looking at about 10 rooms done, but with 50 or so more to go before it's completed.

And there's all the characters to come into it, and the puzzles... Aargh.

Anyone willing to help design a few puzzles? *grin*

Jimi · Sat 03/05/2003 18:44:28

Ohh.

*Jimi jumps up and down

Me!

Hobbes · Sat 03/05/2003 20:00:05

Ok. You it is.

Jimi · Sat 03/05/2003 20:03:29

WooHoo! Yeah. Kiss my....I mean...rea\lly, thats very dignified of you.

Hobbes · Sat 03/05/2003 20:05:54

I already have a few things that could be turned into puzzles, if you're willing?

Perhaps we should have a chat in a forum I just created on the game's page? If you register, I can make the forum "invisible" to others.

Jimi · Sat 03/05/2003 20:07:03

Yes. OK.

How long will it be before the "ghost" forum is set up?

Vel · Sun 04/05/2003 17:12:44

Very cool!

Jimi · Sun 04/05/2003 17:22:29

Isn't it just!

Hobbes · Sun 04/05/2003 21:28:46

Thanks Vel

Zmir · Mon 05/05/2003 02:17:34

yeah it looks very good indeed.

remixor · Mon 05/05/2003 03:05:58

Looking good

Your graphics really capture that cartoony look. Good luck!

Hobbes · Mon 05/05/2003 20:28:27

I just hope once I have all my characters done, it still looks good.

Man, it's hard to do good character-anims!

Jimi · Mon 05/05/2003 21:30:03

VERY hard!

PS- 2nd puzzle done on Strange Day forum.
