I was wondering if anyone had ever used AGS to make or even attempt creating a FMV game before?
(NOTE: I put this question under general because technetically(SP?) it is now about adventure gaming.)
Technically it is about adventure games, because FMV were mostly adventure games. But anyway.
Not really...
Although someone did make a zombie demo with prerendered 3d movies slotted in, It worked quite well.
CAn't remember who it was. But i think their name started with E.
There was a game in production for many years called Illusion of Murder, which was supposed to be FMV, but I think if we do ever see it - it has changed. Xenogia should have more on that but he only seems to be around once every two years :)
I am working on a semi-FMV game but at the end of the day I'm not entirely sure what makes it "fully" FMV. And like Layabout says, I'm sure there's been one released on here in the past.
"Alone in the Night" was a sort of FMV - not the sort where you have full-screen sequences like Phantasmagoria, but the sort, like Riddle of Master Lu or Toonstruck, where the characters are captured in full-motion video.
Other than that, no other games come to mind. That's a lot of cutscene work, an FMV game like that.
What about Soviet Uberdubersupergruber? And Force Majure: The Zone?
Ayuh, the soviet game used the kind of FMV in ALone in the Night, true. And come to think of it, a short game called Anthony's Essay did, too.
Force Majeure used it? I thought it was just still screens, mostly - with photos, which isn't exactly FMV. But then again, I didn't buy the game.
