Title: The Astonishing Captain Skull
Post by: thecatamites on Tue 20/07/2010 23:52:03
A mysterious death on an isolated research station! A deadly secret in the ancient caves! Can Captain Skull unravel the mystery of the Ghost Planet... before it's too late?

Basically this started out as just a way to mess around with plasticine figures and goofy spaceships, before mysteriously turning into a mid-seventies episode of Doctor Who (which has blurred in my memory into endless scenes of dour british men arguing in silver rooms before being strangled by mutants). Basically this is a more straightforwardly "adventure game" thing in that it mostly involves talking to people and looking for clues etc, complete with little notebook I ripped off from the old Discworld Noir game. I think it's fairly long and more polished than my other stuff, although that's not saying much and a lot of the content isn't strictly necessary to complete it. Anyway.

Leftclick - Walk, interact
Rightclick - Examine
Esc - Menu
Click the 'items' and 'notes' icons on the bottom left of the screen to open up the item and note inventories respectively.

   I have to say, in an era where characters tend to be cookie-cutter cliches you invented something completely new with Tankasaurus.  Kudos!

Nice one, I like the 'graphics'.. :-)

A few minorities:

- Debug is still on
- I crashed the game: while in the elevator clicking on Quimby gives:

in "GlobalScript.asc", line 197
Error: MoveCharacterBlocking: character is turned off and cannot be moved
