Hi

"Higgins. A retired inspector of Scotland Yard.
Although everybody considered Higgins as a best detective out there he has decided to leave Scotland Yard.
He has bought beatifull, old house in the village called "Slaughters" and moved there.
Now all time he spend on  reading, meditating in front of his fireplace, gardening and on long walking in woods.
It's seems he has already forgotten about his past life. Forgotten about pursuing murderers and thiefts, about all criminal cases he has solved...
Until one eveninig..."

4 rooms, 12 inventory items, 2 characters, some puzzles, criminal plot and a lot of bad English.

I think that this game has potential, the story line itself is pretty good. Then again i am a fan of mystery type adventure games. If you do decide to make it a full length game...and i think you should...you should definately clean up the dialogue, the grammer was terrible and it affected the readability of the text, the graphics were not great but i have seen much worse. Good job for a little game/demo though.

I know my English is bad. After making I thought about asking someone to correct all text and dialog. But I thought that the game isn't very interesting so there is no need to bother with correcting. If I start make it full lenght game I would certainly try to find help with correcting my bad English. But according to feedback I really should give up making this
game I'm poor adventure game maker
And one more thing. Last month I past my final English exam. It was miracle. I don't know how I managed to do it.
I received the lowest note but I past!

No noowy, don't give up on this game. Never let down! I myself like the game alot, and enjoyed playing it. I had an 88% at my final exams for english.. and maybee you want me to give the dialog lines, and I can try getting some spelling faults and grammar faults out of it.

Keep up the good work. The graphics were ok, I.M.O. and they had a good atmosphere. No I'm not saying awesome graphics, but for your first game, they are definatley not bad. I think you have the talent, you only need photoshop :p

the lack of feedback doesn't make it a bad game (para looks at his past games and shudders ) and its ok i claim to be english and my grammar, spelling sucks!
i think you should expand on this game, you can get help from anyone with your english. you can only get better
i quite envy you guys, i wish i could speak another language

The screenshot looks good, nOOwy. I especially like the background. I'm gonna give this game a shot when I get home.

Hi

Before I posted the game on the forum I had sent it to some frends in Poland and they said that it's bad. When I wrote "according to feedback" I meant mainly their opinion, not the lack of replies an the forum.It was obvious to me that amongs games likes Flashbax, Bestowers of Eternity, I Spy III and other, my small and poor game will not get much attention.

And thanks for encouraging words!
Right now I've started next semester of my studies and I'm very busy at the moment but in near future I'll try to improve and finish this game.
Minimi, thanks for offering help. I'll sent you all dialogs and text on Friday when I get back home.

Thanks

I think it's an interesting little game. I had fun playing it, some puzzles were interesting, like the river puzzle. Some are not

Spoiler

I would put the drawer key somwhere else - you don't repeat a puzzle twice in the same game

. And the english must improve.
I think you should try to continue this game with time you will learn to make better games I think it's a good start for a beginner.
