Wretcher (Updates on the website)

[R4L]

Wow what a major improvements from first demo built!

Just a question, I managed putting two red orbs on door, is that end of this demo?

If not, can anyone explain?

Yeah, that's the end of the demo.

Alan, you have a masterpiece here. The graphics are perfect and the mood was immediately set.

My biggest scare:

Spoiler

The mass of things that suddenly appeared when I got the second red orb. That freaked me the hell out and I honestly panicked and quickly drew the amber orb from my inventory.

Yes, that was the end of the gameplay demo. I'm glad it's receiving positive feedback, I still have many backgrounds to draw to finish the first part of the demo, perhaps i should follow my earlier resolutions and work with placeholders graphics.
Anyway thanks to the fact that i added extended ascii custom font support to ags, future translations won't have to use lame ttf fonts, it's way too hard to make one look right on low res.

I wanted to make things a little more random, it' not a bug.

So just a question about the new room. Does "the thing" in it do anything after it starts staring at your character? like kill you... D:

Nope, it's just psychological warfare.

Will the game take place in the universe of HP Lovecraft(Cthulhu, occult stuff etc.)? Because I read R'lhe(or sth) in one of your screenshots.
By the way: I'm a big Lovecraft-Fan.

Sadly, no. It was just random content to test the books. But in a way it is, after all any world with nightmarish monsters and whatnot is considered Lovecraftian, isn't it ?

Cthulhu fhtagn!

edit: spelling!

[Alan v.Drake]

Hark, people! The new website is finally operative, now I can go back at drawing backgrounds and stuff.

[selmiak]

wow, looking great. The only thing that's a bit annoying to my eyes is the green paper over the mostly red background. And I was so tempted to not post this last sentence to not distract you even a little bit from finishing wretcher

[Construed]

Not bad old chap, not bad at all.

Thank you,  don't worry I'm so slow I wouldn't even be capable of rushing things.

You'll have to wait for the new revised version with better photo, I have learned a great deal since then

.................................this game scares me lol

[fózi]

Hey! Just tested the demo, loved the style and atmosphere, very promising.

Some feedback:
-Mouse buttons are usually way more fragile than the keyboard and break easier, so, if you are going to add some frenetic button-press action, it'd be nice to be able to map it to a key.
-Adjusting the gamma seems to have no effect.
-Some hot-spot single pixel in the cursor would be nice.
-Sound FX and graphics are sweet!

.................................this game scares me lol

That means I've done something right

-Mouse buttons are usually way more fragile than the keyboard and break easier, so, if you are going to add some frenetic button-press action, it'd be nice to be able to map it to a key.

I will consider it (although, I have never seen someone break a mouse button).

-Adjusting the gamma seems to have no effect.

It didn't work before while in windowed mode, but now I have found a way to make it work.

-Some hot-spot single pixel in the cursor would be nice.

Hmmm

-Sound FX and graphics are sweet!

Thank you

This popped into my Youtube feed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtNbr3FVulQ It's a nice playthrough of the demo.

Also... I am excited... for this game... You really... captured the essence... of Clock Tower...

Looking forward to the final game!

[Alan v.Drake]

Thank you JJS.

Here's a little treat, the progress of a room I'm drawing:



I've used sketchup to speed up the process of drawing stuff in perspective, then applied the basic colors and started detailing. Just a little more work now...


- Alan

[WHAM]

I still can't get over how detailed the backgrounds are, and I must say I approve of the SketchUp method, since I sometimes use it myself.
I think I've said it before, but it bears repeating: can't wait to play the full game.
