Guys i'm glad to announce that Chronicle of Innsmouth is on line
http://store.steampowered.com/app/420180/Chronicle_of_Innsmouth/
Hello guys, this is my first game, i'm a big fan of Lovecraft and even a big fan of lucasarts adventure. So why do not mix them together? the game is in very first stage, i'm from Italy and the game is in italian for now, but on release it will be a translation (not made by me, don't worry), i'm also sure that the title will change one day but at this moment it's not my priority. The story is inspired by the Shadow over Innsmouth , one of my favourite novel of H.P. Lovecraft, but with much humor. I hope you will enjoy the idea and the screenshot. More news will coming soon.

Love the screenshots. Can't wait for the translation. :grin:
I wish you every success with this :cheesy:
This looks very nice. I like the sprites. They have nice palettes.
I look forward to this new, humorous twist on H.P. Lovecraft.
It looks great! I like the sprites and the overall atmosphere.
Best wishes for the (long) development!
Really loving this :-D
the backgrounds are amazing and the characters' expressions are very on spot! Good luck with this. I am definitely trying this one I will learn Italian 8-)
Oooh Wonderful!
And glad to see a Italian Developer doing such great thing!
Yay! Great idea :)
Complimenti ;)
Lucasarts-style graphics and interface + Lovecraftian setting = total win. And it's made by a fellow italian as well!
Can't wait to play this.
P.S. Quando lo avrai finito, se avrai bisogno di qualcuno per testare il gioco, contattami pure! ;)
Looks amazing!!! Also a GIANT fan of Lovecraft here and had just decided yesterday that my own next project will be Lovecraft-themed...
Bring on yours first though please! I wanna play!!!
Hello rmonic79,
I am a HUGE fan of HPL just like you.;)
Perhaps, if you translated the italian version in english (and if I like the game, of course(laugh)I may help you for a french translation.

Wow, I love Lovecraft! And those screenshots look very promising!
Looking forward to this one!

Hehe...naw...there can never be too many Lovecraft games ;)
thank you guys for your words, i was scared a little before posting but your response gave me a boost to go on :)
i would show you a little alpha-alpha-alpha gameplay video, what's the best way to post it?
Great, this seems to be the first Lovecraftian AGS adventure :grin:
looks cool! :)
If you want to post a video, then my suggestion is to put it up on youtube and then link it here. :)
And the game is looking great!
hey guys a little image from main menu', i will post as soon as i can a video with some gameplay (it will be in Italian, we are not working yet on translation).
added a little video trailer, the main title it's not the real one but we don't have it yet. :)
Can't wait!
added a little background screenshot :)
Added some work in progress backgrounds. I have a question, is there a tag to resize screenshots to make the diary more readable?
added an almost finished animated background. See you soon :)
Please post unfinished art assets in the critics lounge if you want feedback on them.
The demo is almost done, but, for the moment only in Italian. The next step will be the english translation. Meanwhile take a look at the video in diary, very funny :) it was completely unexpected :)
Little up to upcoming release ;)
tech demo 1.0 version is out. Italian and english languages are avaible. Minor update to game and english translation on the next release.
Enjoy it and see you soon ;)
Owwww, I just fell for the mirror trick!!!! Haha I'm so pissed off, I didn't save my game! :D I hope you didn't make that mirror with the "Easy Mirrors" module, otherwise the irony would be hilarious.
I loved this demo. Just 3 months ago I read this book, it was my first Lovecraft book ever, and I thought "this would be the PERFECT plot for a point n click game!" And boom, there you are.
Just played the demo and LOVED the mood and story of the game!!! This has the potential to become a classic Lovecraft game of the magnitude of "Shadow Of The Comet"...
The one puzzle in the game is already excellent!!! I speak of the tiara puzzle...VERY well done!
The only thing that spoils the demo are the barely understandable english translations...
BUT....Heeeeere I coooome to saaaaave the daaaaay!!! (/mighty mouse)
If the author would permit I would love to edit the english version of the game so that it is fully playable for non-Italian speakers.
I have mailed you already and you know my credentials as the editor of "Donald Dowell" and "Tales", both by AprilSkies...also an Italian games' author...
I do not speak italian but I have a lot of experience with the translated english from italian and know quite well what was trying to be said...I also play the games through again and again to establish context and write to provide the most seamless experience possible in a translated game. My goal is always to strive so that the player does even suspect that the game was translated from another language...
I offer my services if you wish to enlist them...
Nice demo! We need more Lovecraft games that actually are based on his writings. Also it seems you know the settings and the mythos well, it was nice that the demo was very similiar to the actual story.
Good luck with the rest of the game!
I've been working with the game devs over the last few days and the (hopefully) seamless English version of this awesome demo is almost ready...
I sooooo always wanted to make and/or work on a Lovecraft game and this one is just magic in the way it captures both the feel of the mythos and also the charm of Monkey Island and other early LucasArts games...
Sooooo excited right now!
TECHDEMO updated to 1.1 textproof and editing to english translation by Mandle.
Thank you very much!
Hurray!

WOOHOOO!!! I hope this opens the demo up to more appreciation from the English speaking portion of the community!
Because if you like Lovecraft or like well-made atmospheric and nostalgic games or better still you like all of the above, then you're gonna love this demo and hope dearly for the full release!
I Played the demo and i REALLY liked it!
Great vibe, you can really dive into this and feel inside the game within the very first seconds of playing.
Amazing work!

AWESOME!!! Truly a great game from what I've seen so far!!!
Can't wait to explore a bit more of Innsmouth in the next build!!!
added some screenshots and a video.
See you soon guys :)
Those outdoors backgrounds are just magnificent 8-0
I just finished the demo and I really enjoyed it. I look forward to playing more of the game in the future.
Congrats. Looks great.
Hi guys a little update, sorry for silence but we were so into game that we never been able to make some promotion.
See ya :)
Looks like great fun, looking forward to an English-language version! I'm not sure if you're going to use "Call of Cthulhu" in the official title but be aware the role-playing game company Chaosium owns a trademark on the title "Call of Cthulhu," and if you use that in your title pretty sure you'll probably hear from them.

hi, the name of the game is chronicle of innsmouth, we left behind call of cthulhu some months ago, i have to change it in the title of the thread ;)
Makes we wish I knew Italian so I could help with the testing, maybe when the English version comes out keep me in mind.
I just started playing the English demo a little, and Wow, really excellent job - just fantastic! Very much looking forward to the finished game I'm sold.

I can sense the game trying to push its way in through the thin veil of our reality, from whatever cosmic chaos lurks "outside"...
IA! IA! CTHULHU FHTAGN!
This just released today and just bought it, maybe update the thread? :) Can't wait to visit stinky ol' Innsmouth!
You're right, i'll do it as soon as i can i just need to fall asleep a little :)
Congrats on release. Sorry I couldn't help out on testing as much as I would have liked, but what I've played so far has been impressive. I will buy the full game next payday. (nod)

Congrats on the release! (nod)
Good job on the release!
Haha, examining the books in the library made me realize I know enough Italian to get the Sega joke. Naughty, naughty! (laugh)
C o n g r a t s ! !
Great job finishing this up (been a long time!).
