The Visitor

Story

The story of the visitor takes place in a house along the east river in New York, 17 year old Danny boy has been left behind by his mom, she has left him with his abusive brother and crazy dad after a bitter split.

As if life was not hard enough, during Danny's daily chores a loud explosion rocks the house after a strange object crashes through the garage roof. Little does this young man know, this extraterrestrial visitor just might change his life for the better.

Play as both Danny and the visitor in this medium length adventure, cool backgrounds, fun animations, sounds and music for fun and creepy effect, loads of puzzles and lets not forget Danny's dog Mighty and his brothers savage cat Scrappy.

Development

story 100%
scripting 100%
graphics 100%
sound/music 100%
animations 100%

The Visitor is complete

There are over 120 sounds, animated eyeball and hand icon when hovering over hotspots to go along with the hotspot GUI. Loads of animations, loads of views, 60 inventory items and a large house to explore along with a UFO.

Can you help the visitor phone home, can you help Danny do his chores before his brother beats him senseless ?

There's also an extra cutscene at the end of the game if you manage to pull off a great prank on your brother.

Intriguing. This is the second AGS game in a year to be called 'The Visitor' about something crashing to earth. The other one was cancelled, so all the best getting this one out!

Nice moody backgrounds.

@Mods , I was not aware of this, I searched the games database and didn't find anything with the visitor, but I didn't search through games in production, I hope I'm not stepping on any toes or I'll change the title name. At the moment, it appears the visitor will impact earth in the near future.

@cianty , Thanks for the lift, as this is my first time around the block, it's good to know my backgrounds are acceptable. I had an old computer, I was using MS paint from 6 years ago, I just got a new computer 2 days ago when my motherboard went. Scared the hell outta me, thought I lost everything. I'm still using MS paint to finish it, but at least this one has got a few new added features.

First time drawing on a computer?!? Those backgrounds are really not at all bad. Looking forward to the finished game!

CosmoQueen · Sun 10/07/2011 19:12:20

Backgrounds are really beautiful! And I love being able to play more than one character in a game! Looking forward to this one

Thanks for the kind words, I'm pushing to finish this game as soon as possible, but without neglecting the quality. Things are moving along pretty quickly.

Here is a another screen shot

This is a great learning process for me, backgrounds, animations, scripting, story etc..... But it does not feel like a first game for sure, I am putting a ton of love into this, probably too much for my first game.

Nice, clean art style on this one. And that skyline really brings back some memories..

tzachs · Sat 23/07/2011 14:47:09

This looks very nice, good luck with that.
Just so you know, there's already an adventure/puzzle game called 'The visitor'...

NickyNyce · Sat 23/07/2011 15:45:47

First off, that is awesome, great little game. Now I want to start over...lol.

At first this started out by me stumbling onto the AGS website and convincing myself I might be able to make a game myself, I grew up playing adventure games and was amazed that someone with no experience could do this. I wanted to make a game for my nephew and friends and now I'm hooked.

I certainly don't want to step on anyones toes with the title, it's the least important thing to me at the moment. I can change this if it bothers anyone. I never expected to post this so anyone other than some friends and family could play it. But now I have put so much time and effort into learning AGS and making the game I figured why not share it with everyone.

Thanks again, that was fun

I added a couple new screenies to the first post, The Visitor is progressing nicely and should be done by early September.

I currently look like Golem from the lord of the rings and need sun badly, I will work hard to get this done so I can enjoy SOME of the summer. :'(

Tabata · Sun 21/08/2011 13:40:57

I am already curious for your game and waiting for it.

It sounds like an interesting story and has really â€œNyceâ€ drawings. 8)

Go on like this - who needs the sun ...

NickyNyce · Sun 21/08/2011 14:16:24

Maybe your right, AGS can do lots of things, causing skin cancer is not one of them

Mouth for war · Sun 21/08/2011 19:20:14

Hey! I like the looks of this, simple and clean andl very nice to look at. Good job

NickyNyce · Sun 28/08/2011 13:34:50

Thanks Mouth for War, I hope people dig the graphics, but most of all I hope everyone likes the game. I just wish I started playing with AGS years ago.....what a shame :'(

TomatoesInTheHead · Sun 28/08/2011 17:07:19

Ohhh, lovely screeny!

NsMn · Sun 28/08/2011 17:12:24

I know what I'd take. Hee hee hee...

...the hand, it's obviously the most useful.

NickyNyce · Tue 04/10/2011 18:27:44

The Visitor is in it's final stage. I just need need to add a couple of finishing touches. The latest testing has come back pretty clean, The Visitor looks like it will crash land soon.

Just played that - great fun!

NickyNyce, your game seems to be rather different, so don't worry about the name too much. Also, it looks great!
