A hungarian game, which we have been developing for a few years now, and we've just finished the demo (english translation included).
The game takes place in the 19th century somewhere in Europe. The main character, Thorndike is a young inventor, who wants to build a steam-powered plane to defeat gravity. He must find the necessary parts and gain the respect he deserves from the city. This is the story in a nutshell, check out the screenshots and the demo!

Wow! VERY nice screenshots!
Looks very very nice!
Checking the demo tonight.
Edit:
Why's there no setup.exe in the demo dir?

Well, the game looks best with direct3D 9 and smooth sprites on full screen, so the setup is left out on purpose. I was looking for other solutions, or maybe there will be a low res version, but currently it should be played with the default settings.
WOW :o, looks great bbalint85 ;D
Love it. The amount of polish is amazing, especially for a free game; it looks and feels commercial all the way!
Good luck with this and keep up the high production value!
(Btw, I didn't like the installer and the missing setup, but of course there's ways around both :))
This game has amazing style. Well done!

Not Polish.. . it's Hungarian! ;D ::)
Played the demo and it promises to be a great game!
Go on like this, please and good luck for finishing!
Looks really nice. Is it going to be commercial game or freely available. (Sok szerencsét :D)
Thank you everyone for you kind comments so far!

We plan the game to be freely available for everyone! (Köszönjük! :D)
Nice! I'm looking forward to the full version. I like all the little details in each scene; especially the workshop.
Gratz for the game!
The graphic and the animations are awesome :o I love the puzzles too :)
How very charming!
Amazing work guys! :D
The art style reminds me of The Adventures of Tintin. Wich is a very good thing since Georges Rémi is well know for his great sence of locality.
Wow, the screenshots look gorgeous, especially the 2nd one! Reminds me of some children's book I read - in a good way, of course. It's the vivid colors and detailed, but only subtly shaded backgrounds. The character design is beautiful, too.
Found a composer, and finished our webpage:
Timeless Journey

Now there are all original music, 3 new tracks, thanks to our composer Matthew Chastney!
There were also a few modifications in the demo and some bug fixes.
How do you like the music?
I've played the demo and well done!
I've noticed the following:
Spoiler
While using the chain/hook on statue, it look as a rope instead of chain
Again, for a game that is free and looking as a commercial one, well done!
The style reminds me (a lot) of The Gene Machine. Was that a source of inspiration?
Looking good though!

Yeah, we get that a lot.. Actually, none of us ever played with that game, so It's pure coincidence. I googled some screenshots and it sure looks like the previous game for ours :) Anyway I think Jules Verne is the common ground with the games, but I will try out Gene Machine some day (after we finish Timeless Journey, not to get more similarities by accident :))
Cool game!
We haven't posted anything for a while here, but the game is still under development.
There will be a dark labyrinth beneath the town, where Thorndike must go down to complete certain missions. We are currently working on this, I can post a wip image of it.
We have also redesigned the dialogue system, now the texts are much better visible.
