Adventure Game Studio

I like the graphics and animations, it looks great!

Ohh, lovely to see a bit more of this project, the story sounds really interesting. (nod) Excited to play!

This looks fantastic!  I'm a big fan of what I've seen from Jen and Matt on Twitter.  Story looks like it should be interesting too.

Wow, these graphics are awesome! Will be following your project up and close :grin:

looking great! Keep us posted!
I especially love that bellboy guy looking at his phone when bored :)

What can I say?

Tariffic' (nod)

Hey, I know this place!
The graphics are very beautiful, beau travail !

awwwyesss!!!

great Dott-style graphics! they really suit the theme!
super slick animation!
the whole package looks just charming!
loads of fun! this is gonna be funny and a blast to play lemme tell ya!



reminds me of a wiki article I read once :=

Fine, but please: STOP CORRIDAS, SAVE THE BULLS!(laugh)

Looking tremendous and it's an interesting setting - I look forward to it!

I love that flat shading, and that fun sort of twisted perspective on the first screenshot is wonderful. DoTT springs to mind of course, but Matt has put his own stamp on this.

I agree with everyone else - it looks great! :)

Each image is dripping awesomeness :D
Looking forward to it!

Thanks all - Matt has been doing a stellar job (particularly with the mockups I give to him to work from :=)

This look fantastic! The story sounds interesting, too! ;-D

I have a recruitment thread (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=55805) open now for a Musician and some Testers - there's a sneak peek at another character there too!

This looks incredible! I love the colour and style, it's so beautiful.

I can't wait to play!

Looks awesome! I just hope no bulls will get hurt :~(

It looks great, if the story measures up to these graphics we're in for one hell of a treat :-D

Just finished testing a really early version of this game.  Considering the love and attention that's being poured into it, I think the end result could be something very special. ;)

Thanks for testing and kind words here and on Twitter, CaptainD!

Here's today's screenshot saturday, enjoy!

Absolutely gorgeous! Love the setting too. This one is going to be a classic :D

The pictures look indeed great, I am looking forward to play the journey of a great matador.

The animations look great!

I hate bullfighting, but I LOVE the look of this!

Today's #screenshotsaturday

My mockups versus Matt's finished pixel art

Nice! (nod)
Btw, love those animations! :)

Finally an accurate depiction of a French hairdresser in a video game!
I can't wait to play this :)

This looks like a really cute game, I can't wait to play!  About how long do you estimate it will be (as in, full-length vs. medium or short game)?

Looking great, Tom! Some awesome talents you've gathered there :smiley:

Thanks! short to medium? It's not short as something like a MAGS game, but it's short and (hopefully) sweet!

Thanks Petter! Your most recent screenshot for Whispers of a Machine was a delight. Yep, Jen and Matt have really knocked it out of the park (and there's more goodies to come!)

I lived and worked in that area for several months, a long time ago.   The pics bring back a lot of memories.  I still have a pair of hand made boots from a shop that I swear is n the vicinity of one of your scenes.  I don't like bull fighting either but had attended an event in the old Roman arena, where the bulls had ribbons or strings tied to their horns.  There were several human teams of two that took turns trying to extricate the string/ribbons for points.  The human competitors were completely unarmed  and no harm came to the bulls, except for being a little annoyed.  The humans came away bloodied and battered.  Thoroughly enjoyable experience!  (laugh).

I haven't got the chance to tell you this over twitter (me lazy) so here goes:

You are flawless :-[

That's cool! I've had a few people say they've been to, or are from, Arles so hopefully it's somewhat like the real thing! That sounds like a fun event. The bull fighting elements gives me an excuse for fun little bits like

Thanks! I'm not 100% sure about that ;) but Matt's art is!

Here's the #screenshotsaturday from today: Steal. Everything*

(http://tom-simpson.com/steal-everything.gif)

*You obtain some of it legally.

(Those who have tested should get a kick out of that, since they saw my placeholder graphics for the inventory!)

I'll admit, that last GIF made me chuckle. (laugh)

Having played an earlier version, I have to say that the inventory screen makes a whole lot more sense now that you can see the finished bag! :grin:

I second that! (nod)
Nice work! Just hope that blue mug looks like a mug now... (laugh)

I figures it would look something like this, but this is beyond expectation and great!
I hope matt finally did draw you a horse :D

But but... the horse is already perfect! Why a new one! Noooooo! (laugh)

No new horse yet! It's on the list

For one of those I'm off to the US for a month for Mittens, but hopefully?

Nice to know it's going good! (nod)

Woo! Is it a tradition to buy your whole family copies of indie adventure games? I really think it should be.
