Warning: Fragile! - Chapter I: Operation Blindhawk

Wersus · Thu 26/08/2010 15:52:19

Alrighty then...
The first chapter of my AGS project has finally been completed and amazingly this happened on schedule! This game has been under work for a year now and hopefully all that time was well spent. If you have anything at all to say about the game, please do so, as I'd very much like to know what people like and don't like about the game.
I would also like to take this chance to thank all testers! This wouldn't have been possible without you guys/gals/people!

Warning: Fragile! is (or at least is supposed to become) a trilogy which tells the story of captain Bingler, who is the captain of a space ship called One Eyed Eagle. The story kicks off when Bingler is given a task by his employer to deliver a mysterious package to a far off planet called Earth. During the first chapter the goal is to get the ship off the ground as once again the beloved captain has crash landed when returning from his last delivery mission making the ship unable to take off.

Including...
... A twelve page fully colored user guide (take a look)!
... Over 5 minutes of pre-rendered cutscene animation!
... Several craaaaazy characters!
... funness!

If you played the game, please rate it here and also post your thoughts!

I'd really love to click that link, but I'm afraid of breaking it.

Just kidding. Looks great, congrats on the release! The style reminds me a bit of an early CD-ROM game called Kingdom O' Magic (green guy there too

). Will check it out when I have time - got a long backlog of great-looking AGS games to play - including one I'm supposed to beta test

(sorry, Ben, I'll get right to it).

Congrats on getting this out there and thanks for letting me test it. It was a real pleasure. Left you a comment on the games page, and looking forward to part two=)

Thanks guys, was a pleasure to work with you!

Congratz! It has been a pleasure to test

Looks awesome!

Will play this as soon as I've completed The Journey Down.

I've been playing this a fair time today, it looks really good so far, hopefully I'll be able to finish it on my own. I really liked the references. Especially on Arnold Judas Rimmer.

Thanks. I just uploaded a new version with a couple of noncritical fixes.

Stefano · Fri 27/08/2010 21:33:18

I may have found a bug:

Spoiler

The top line of items went missing (along with the inventory scroll arrows) after the cut-scene with the red guy.
The game must be thinking that, since I have the amount if items to fill 2 lines, I don't need the arrows.
But it didn't reset the inventory to the starting Y position!

Ah, thanks. Good catch. Uploading new version now...

"Coming... Someday... Maybe..." Hahaha!
Thanks Wersus. It was a very enjoyable game.
The presence of custom dialogues for the most improbable actions made me want to take my time to explore. And I'm glad I did because I laughed a lot. So... thanks.

Ay caramba! What an awsome game! Can't believe I missed the realease of this one.
Really great graphics and wacky kind of humor - had a great time playing it.

Absolutely looking forward to the next part of 'Warning: Fragile!'.

Just one request: more battle-talk with that little robot! Hillarious!

Wersus · Sat 20/11/2010 01:38:19

Glad you enjoyed the game.

Remember to give a rating

Finally played the game to the end. The 2 craziest puzzle solutions seemed a bit unfair and required me to check the walkthrough, but on the other hand they were really fun in their craziness.

Cuiki · Wed 12/01/2011 18:37:04

I must say I wasn't really expecting much, but decided to give it a shot anyway, and man I'm glad I have. It's simply adorable, the graphics are cute and the rendering looks damn good for an amateur game.

The puzzles were really good! I dare say among best in AGS games I've played so far. Though I didn't quite like that one with the office worker and I had to check the hints.

Spoiler

didn't think he would actually want to lift a robot (or was able to do it)

Apart from that, they were really well-balanced and kept me interested all along.

The mechanic guy (Thorg?) was awesome - made me laugh, his responses were brilliant and he had a believable personality.

As for the humour, it was witty and the game was filled with funny references and punch lines. To the extent that it became a bit of overkill. Mind you, I think Sam & Max suffered from the same thing. So, don't listen to me if you like Sam & Max.

And I don't want to nitpick, but it would've been better if you'd broken down the big chunks of text into smaller parts.

Despite all that, I still loved it! I really want to nominate you straight away for best puzzles and NPC (Thorg), but I should perhaps play a few other games first...

Thanks Cuiki

I have now uploaded a v1.1 of the first chapter. It basically just makes some of the harder puzzles a bit more humane and fixes some small things with the animations. It's available here: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=1346

Also, just to let you know, I'm now working on the seconds chapter and it's looking pretty good, but it will still be a while before I'll be making a in-production thread for it.

Great to hear you are working on the second part. I hope we will hear more about the background story there because the lack of story and progression was my only complain about the first part. Please continue with this awesome cinematic cutscenes. It's a pity you didn't get a nomination for best animation.
