I'm pleased to announce the finished first rendition of my latest project, "The Epsilon Outcome". The game is a commercial effort using AGS, and the lengthy demo is available for downloading here. Enjoy, and thanks for your interest and support. Get the demo at The Epsilon Outcome AGS page.




How odd...
There's amnesia, extraterrestrial activity, strange men in gray hazmat suits, and disappearances. You don't know how you've arrived or where you came from.

Surrounded by a strange forest, you come across a large, peculiar metal cylinder in the middle of a murky marsh. It has slimy, rusty ladder rungs along one side. You don't know why it looks slightly familiar, but somehow you are sure that you need to find a way to get across the marsh and investigate what's down below. As you discover old crusty machines, tunnel entrances, a radio shack, and a handful of strangers, you begin to suspect that something has been amuck for a long time that's bigger than anyone can guess.

Features:

    *8-bit, hand-drawn graphics and animations. Over 375 drawings went into the game.
    *Original soundtrack
    *Original sound effects
    *Unique point and click interface. (But, does "unique" mean "novel and cool", or does it mean "bad and cumbersome"?)
    *Saved games in the demo will load in the full version.

Haha, true. I'm beginning to believe slasher is a software company, not one person. He's releasing one game after the other. :)

Love the art style, reminds me of puzzle books I use to read when I was younger. Also, I do like a good amnesiac hero :-D!

Look forward to the finished game.

academiken

Thanks, all, for your congratulations.

An amnesiac hero is a strong indication that the author didn't have any better idea for his character. :-D

Looks intriguing. I like the art. I'll give the demo a go as soon as I have the time.

Two Tales, thanks! I realize time doesn't grow on trees, so I appreciate time that is made.
