After a deal with the devil goes horribly wrong you must quest to find your way to hell to confront the beast and rescue your love! Your quest will take you from the city, into space and back, into a gigantic termite mound and even to the pub. Quite the adventure for one small pug.

I wanted to post the backgrounds without clutter but you're right I shouldve posted in game screens. I'll replace them with in game screens within a day or two.

Thanks for the interest everyone!

You just don't see enough octopuses tattooing elephants these days.  (nod)

This looks like a weird game with a style echoing Ren & Stimpy and I'm sure it'll be a scream to play! :-D

With the grub farm, I was getting more of a Futurama vibe -- with a hint of Gish. And I love cephalopods, they are so cute and squishy!
Title: Re: A Pug's Life
Post by: Seventeen Uncles on Sun 13/07/2014 20:30:17
i'd say both of those have inspired me over the years!

Oh....and your artwork is stunning!

I have 4 pugs, and this seems absolutely the game for me. You have completely understood the 'smart' expression of these dogs (which I do not consider dogs, in fact they are a breed that has little in common with dogs). Great idea :)

Meet Mys-Tick, the in game hint system. She lives on your head and if you speak to her will read your fortune and give you a tip on what to do next. But you have to give her a little bit of your delicious mammalian blood first!

I only have 2 more ‘rooms' to draw before all the scenes are made for the first chapter (and what will become the demo.)

I'm going to complete the demo before doing any work on the rest of the game, for feedback etc.

Spider makes sense indeed.
Otherwise, I vote for the dodo (Raphus cucullatus) coz it's already a caricature. :D
Btw, I want to add that your game and style look hilarous.
Congratz!

I'm a mad cat lady, so there must be a cat. but not just any cat, an evil genius that can play the piano despite the lack of opposable thumbs (or perhaps he engineered a way to have those thumbs?!?) He composes piano concertos to soothe his evil mind when he's not otherwise obsessed with annihilating dogs. He's also overweight and practically spherical.

I got a bit carried away there.... This is essentially the personality I attributed to my cat Tiggy, who always had *that* look about him, and he passed away nearly a year ago now on the 30th October. I know Tiggy is not a sinister enough name, so feel free to change it if it gets used!  We were always convinced he was plotting things when we weren't there, and I don't remember how it came about, but we used to joke that he was writing piano concertos...

This is him plotting whilst looking out across his territory..

Nah it's okay to post the contest entries in here. 

Just the posting of the cat pictures (they're in "hide" tags so I didn't alter them to links like I normally would) is a good way to start off topic posts talking about your [adorable] kitty.

That's all; carry on!

FEEDBACK
Love it!
I love the graphics, the storyline, the crazy whacky surreal setting and characters.

How far does the demo go? does it have an end? Dont want to bang my head against a wall looking for things that are not there.  Really like it though, cant wait to hear SFX, music and hopefully voice acting?

I've tried a bit of the demo and love the graphic, animations and gui, great job there but...

Spoiler

I really don't like the font. Sorry, I know you probably put in a lot of hard work on it, but I find it hard to read as being so big. Maybe if it was smaller it would work, I can't say.

Haven't tried much more than the first task, as the mentioned above problem, made me want to stop.

I personally love the font from an artistic point of view, but its a little 'form over function', not as easy to read as I would have liked.  Maybe smaller with a more contrasting colour? or outline? id hate to see it go, especially as it looks (am i wrong?) like your own creation.

*EDIT*
Downloading the updated demo now.... :)

yea the trailer was shot with the current non-demo build which has some extra bits here and there, including lots of voice acting which you can see a preview of here:

just finished the demo and loved it! I can't wait to go even deeper and meet even more of these crazy weirdo characters.


Spoiler
I had to ask mys tick for help for the dart+ink+*notspoilingeverything riddle. Did I miss any clues? I was a bit distracted while playing, because drinks, so maybe I missed some obvious clues, but as much fun it was I think I didn't miss any clues on that one. So some clue by the bartender or the dartplayer would help there maybe...
