*updated 26th Febuary * Creamed!

Chicky · Wed 07/01/2004 21:18:09

hey guys,

this is my as of yet unamed work in progress game. Ive gone through many starts and stops of games but i really think this one is guna work.

you play dave (yup boring old dave) a hard working err worker at a eclair factory. Too keep yourself living under a roof you have been working night shifts at the factory.

now this doesnt seem to bad for Dave, he's happy with his life and he's been told he is a very good worker. But you see when your working all night you tend to get tiered, and when you get tiered you loose concentration. This being the main problem for Dave here.

*athem* to cut a long (intro sequence) story short he ends up leaving an eclair on the cream insertion tube fo way too long and it ends up with him blowing up the factory and becoming a wanted criminal

*edit just for minime* well kinda newayz, you se the police department think it was an act of terrorism and are trying to find the ring leader, the more you ask about the 'incident' the more suspicion you raise. If this gets too high then its in the slammer for you boy, which you then have to escape from, and get a change of clothes.

does anybody think this is a too strong story to play as it is a large part of the game, i have a backup story whick could also work but im nto sure.

Soo,

The game features high colour 640/480 resoloution graphics

A (kinda) unique attention meter telling you how suspicious you look infront of the pigs

Loads of diolouge, full screen animation

and the satisfaction of playing it

I am not too far into the game yet but once ive got a reasonable amount done i may need some music writers.

oh, and here's some screenies for ya

The main character, Dave

This is the place he works, the eclair factory

And this is where he lives, in a fjord

well hope i get lots n lots'a response and become a well known community figure

thanx

Hey-i love those graphics of yours.The story is also quiet interesting.Wish you luck with your game.

JD · Wed 07/01/2004 23:16:16

That looks great! As Nixxon said, I love the expression on his face

The lake looks really good aswell!

Minimi · Wed 07/01/2004 23:24:57

Great looking pictures, and awesome story, except for the being criminal. When I read the intro story, I got sucked down the rabbit hole with my imagination, and I began to feel sorry for this hard worker. Maybe you can tell us more about the person in your game, like that we get to know him better. GREAT JEEAAAUURRBBB!!!

Esseb · Wed 07/01/2004 23:33:10

The game does look promising, I just wanted to point out that the fjord looks a bit odd. Grass running all the way down to the water? Bridge? Usually ferries travelling back and forth every 20 minutes to an hour, or even just once a day depending on how many lives there, are used because a bridge would both be uneconomical and cause an uproar due to them looking pretty ugly.

Feel free to ignore me if you happen to live near a fjord such as this however.

Chicky · Wed 07/01/2004 23:53:52

thanks for the crit guys

minimi i added a little more info for you

*edit just for minimi* well kinda newayz, you se the police department think it was an act of terrorism and are trying to find the ring leader, the more you ask about the 'incident' the more suspicion you raise. If this gets too high then its in the slammer for you boy, which you then have to escape from, and get a change of clothes.

does anybody think this is a too strong story to play as it is a large part of the game, i have a backup story whick could also work but im not too sure abouts it.

oh and esseb, im guna make a few changes to the fjord to make it look more real i'll post the update l8r, for now im guna try nd get sum beauty sleep seing as its 23:46.

keep it coming

Looks good mr. O..S..D..

....

Sam. · Sun 18/01/2004 14:24:20

looks outstanding dude! i kinda agree about the ferry. it might make more sense. the big ass bridge looks out of place in the rural area. ou could maybe add some cliffs or a beach in or something t make the waters edge more varied? would you mind if i did a paintover? just for fun?

big brother · Sun 18/01/2004 16:21:45

I think the story sounds pretty good!

Would the suspicion thing be an in-game meter (a la Grrr! Bearly Sane)?

It's that bored expression you get when you're doing some amazingly repetitive job for hours. Kinda like "Geoffkhan working on the scripting for Apprentice 2". Whoops, you didn't read that, Big Brother.

Back to work!

big brother · Mon 19/01/2004 03:52:23

Hey! Who let you out of the cage?

Get back to work, you lazy dog, or I'll beat you with your own legs!

Chicky · Mon 19/01/2004 20:10:17

wow, new posts

lmao i thought this topic was dead, i kinda gave up on the game due to lack of interst in the storyline

well that leaves me with a big dilema (sp?) i now have two games in production, this one which is in 640/480 resalotion and another one which is set in medievil times which is 320/240 resalotion.

hmm, looks like im in a bit of a pickle. What should i do guys? 1 ive done the main character walking animations, 3 bg's and two other animations. And the other ive done main character walking animations and 1 bg.

i could work on both ... or leave one aside for a while, i dunno

you decide

thanks

Chicky · Mon 19/01/2004 20:14:56

oh and to BigBrother,

yes the suspicion meter would be a lot like grr bearly sane, i'd jus finished that when i decided to work on this

ohh and zootyfruit, feel free to do a paintover, it would be really apreciated.

cheers

Lazy Z · Mon 19/01/2004 21:59:30

I think the storyline is very good! And the graphics are very well done too. You shouldn't give up on your game!

What I think you could do, (and these are the 2 cents of a guy who has yet to finish an AGS game

) is that you could work on both games, just not of the same time. Ie, you work on one game for a while, and when you feel tired and/or fed up with it, you resume working with the other one, and this will be refreshing, in a way.

Just a suggestion, of course. ^_^

Chicky · Mon 19/01/2004 23:15:39

yeh good idea lazy

thats what i was planning on doing anyway, at the moment im working on the 320 game, im not guna post a games in production tread on this one tho cus im hoping that it will be finished in a couple of months ... so look out!

thanx

edit. okay the links aren't working but drag and drop.

Minimi · Tue 20/01/2004 13:15:25

you should add a slash "/" to the img at the end of the line, in front of img

... and i guess you should also use anonymizer, but i forgot the link
