Nice graphics, I really like it. Really unique. Yet you need to check some serious grammar in dialogue and stuff. That almost makes the game unplayable, because it's so annoying and that's a pity, cause it's a really great demo.

[danny*]

Thanks Visti,i'll keep that in mind.....Was it that bad??

HI Spyro,

Only had a second to try it before I have to go to work.  Its looks great, and Im sure everyone will say the things I would.  

One thing to look out for, on your GUI at the bottom, the words Button 1 and such are showing through...
Don't mean to be a downer.  Its a fun game and I laughed out loud when I was talking with Baldie.  Not enough time to play the rest...

[Spyros]

Soon i'll be starting a new one(Norman was kind of tutorial game for me111!!!!111)

[Ionias]

Very nice game. I don't like that you can't cycle the cursor modes with the right click button. But other than that it is a fine first game indeed!

[elizabeth]

Wow!  I havn't gotten very far into the game yet, but I really like what I've seen so far.  It looks great and the atmosphere is fantastic!

[Spyros]

AD is sown again AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!1!11!11!!11!11111

[Igor]

Great work Danny! Just finished the game and i loved every bit of it- beautiful to look at, atmospheric to listen to and funny to play. And no, grammar did not bother me (could be, because my grammar is even worse ).

Two thumbs up for this one and i can't wait to play your second game!

Oh, and Spyros- i think he is ready to join you in GAC

[danny*]

Thank you guys....
indeed Norman Cooks has some bugs(i'm very sorry about that),...but what i was checking out  mostly was the basic stuff.
-On my 2nd game i promise to do better...in scripting and stuff!!1!1
THANKS.

Igor,my friend....you boost me up all the time!....THANK YOU...

[Frankenblitz]

Very good graphics!
The "explosion" and the "dancing" animation are really great!
I can't believe that this is your first game!!

[danny*]

thanks...!...did you visit the Don?

[2ma2 - stuck]

It's very very neat. I laughed out loud when reading the paper. It's looks very professional, yet I don't know how to respond on it.

You see, the style per see is what I refer as amateurish professionalism. nothing wrong with it. It's absolutely fabulous artwise, yet it bugs me alot. I don't know why, but these kind of 3d rendered graphics get's on my nerves, probably because of bad experiences of crappy games made by firms on macromedia and similar.

The gameplay however, I have nothing to complain about, except not being able to cycle the cursors, since you didn't use more than one extra mode. Otherwise it's just fine, tho' I miss getting replies on the inetractions. This is somethnig I find important, that you have a reply for every interaction on the hotspots in question, especially when using the look mode. It's to much to ask for that when using inventories, but perhaps include this in the unhandled_event function as a static reply.

Great first game tho', and the scripting is very good. I've defently seen worse than that. It's a highclass, both in animations and similar. The cutscene outside the don was very nice

I'm stuck tho'

Spoiler

I found the secret door, and I don't know what to do with the safe(?). I have a lighter, teh card and matches. How do one open the lcoked door?

2ma2,thanks!1!
Hearing fom you means a lot!
About the game now:
since you're stuck

Spoiler

go back to Norman's office and search again

The explosion-video-sequence was cool... (like the rest of the game, surely)
But now I have just found one ending...

Spoiler

Can you say me, what`s do to with the safe? I have the lighter, the matches, the lockpick and the card.
