Because I can't be bothered typing it all out again, here's my post from the Release Something thread:
Walter's Wild Years (working title)
[Fiction]This is the game that little Max Reinhardt made from magazine cutouts for his cardboard box arcade machine in 1992. His friends hated it.[/Fiction]
Walter, and his Shadow Self, arrive at a strange house after receiving an invitation from a woman he has never met before only to discover that he has apparently been to this house many times over the years. Walter decides the best course of action is travel to the past and the future and all the places in between in order to figure out just what his place is in all this madness.

This is basically an experiment to see if I can get a short game done in a short amount of time. I'm no artist, but I think I've managed to come up with a style that at least looks interesting. I've gone for a cut-out style for the animations. I'm also no programmer so, although this is a sort of arcade/adventure, it's turning out to be mostly an interactive story I suppose.
STUFF!
Collect raw time to achieve time travel!
Meet interesting new people!
Old ones too!
Learn the history of the house and it's inhabitants!
Learn about yourself!
Walter, that is!
Jump!
Also, Bash things!
Game is about 50% complete, maybe a bit less.
Progress has kind of slowed, but I'm getting back into it and am hoping to have it done in the next few months. Also, if anyone could see fit to maek this gane for me, that would be swell.
seems like a good game what help do you need exactly?
Do you need someone to do music?
yes, I like your style, especially of charachters :D
Good luck on your first project. I commend you for giving it a shot.... 8)
Very interesting graphics, I like the grainy gradient style and the general gloomy sepia feel. Very few people decide on making characters taller than a dozen pixels, and you seem to have managed it quite well, judging from the screenies.
BTW, Does the action happen to take place in the south of US? In a gothic-ish mansion? I smell Faulkner...
This looks so different that i gots to try it when it's done!
Thanks for the words everybody. Oh, and I've not read any Faulkner.
Very interesting graphics. reminds me of old sierra graphics. i like it
Interesting graphics, very old school indeed.
