Title: Need ideas for additional features in my DOTT - Remake project
Post by: Feenyx on Fri 10/10/2014 12:32:46
Hello everyone!

I'm currently working on a project "Day of the Tentacle - Remake" which uses Flash imported graphics and AGS as it's engine
and I need some ideas for additional features that would make the game even more interesting and fun!

So I made small list of my personal ideas, so tell me what you think:

A new ending?
A new playable character?
Close-up animated speech portraits?
New puzzles?
Mini-games?
New Items?
New audio?
Achievements list?
More platforms compatibilities?
More animations?
Additional sequel?
Other games graphical references?

So the question is this: What's your opinion? Any ideas of new features that could be added to the game?

Here is a link to the game announcement in our Forums:

Thanks for the help :cheesy:

Well, I would say... I dunno how possible this would be, but DOTT was initially envisioned as a game with Maniac Mansion-type gameplay (i.e. choice of player characters, different endings and different puzzles for each of the characters), there were three additional characters that were later dropped (a poet named Chester, a hippie girl Moonglow, and Razor from the original MM (http://lostmedia.wikia.com/wiki/Day_Of_The_Tentacle_(Cut_Content;_Early_90's))). If you could implement this, that would be absolutely great!

As Dave Grossman said:

"We cut it down to three in order to maintain our sanity, mainly from an animation standpoint." :shocked:

I suppose if we had enough animators that would agree to spend some time on this, it would be quite interesting!!

Thanks for the idea! Will keep that in mind. :wink:
