Release Something! - Feb, 14th, 2006 NOW

Kinoko · Thu 19/01/2006 10:44:27

This will be the 3rd "Release Something!". Thanks for making the previous two such successes, everyone!

ABOUT RELEASE SOMETHING:
This isn't a competition as such, just a big free-for-all where we can all showcase our talents. Basically, a date is set for "Release Something!" Day and on that day, people are invited to post to this thread anything they like, really. For example, some sprites,Ã,Â screenshots of your game, music, sound effects, backgrounds, rooms, a plugin, a storyboard, a demo, or if you can manage it, a full game. Heck, even if it's 95% done or 1% done, if you wanna release it, you go for it!

WHEN: (that is, NOW!)
This one will happen on February 14th, Valentine's Day. This is about a month away, which I think is a good amount of time for you to either get started on something, or finalize a current project

Of course, nothing needs to be FINALIZED for this. You can release something at ANY stage!

Remember, anything you want, as little or as much of it as you want! Get working, people!

Hehe it's 2 o'clock in the afternoon here already, if Kinoko didn't remind me, I probably wouldn't have remembered to unlock this thread today.

I didn't prepare anything... but here's a bg from The Chronicles of Oswyn Rodgerick Throckmorton (quite long, it scrolls):

Kinoko · Tue 14/02/2006 06:28:27

Oh my god, scotch o_o That's BEAUTIFUL!

largo: Can't wait to check it out! Damnit, another half an hour of work to go >_<

Hey there

I will share some sketches from Miko and the Bogus Maladies. My scanner is one of the all-in-one dealies, and it won't let me choose what filetype to save as, so I have to save two for a post modification

. Anyways...

First, the second concept of the protagonist himself: Miko! yay!

The following are taken from the story board of the prologue cutscene-

And finally (until EDIT

), a background sketch :O-

those are big, eh? pardon

Well, a while ago I asked Kinoko for some help with some Japanese translation, for the purpose of recording a song for Ben Jordan 5, so here, in all it's horribly-pronounced glory, is said song, which you will hear playing over the end credits.

Well, I had been working on a tiny game for a looooong time (not the original first AGS game I planned), but because of lots of reasons its progress was sloooooooooow.

Seeing that the project remained "sekret" for so long, I decided to show two screenshots here, so I can have "something" to release:

I think I don't need to explain what this game is about. The current version was last updated in April 2004 (right, 2004), it's technically completed minus sound, music and cutscene graphics, etc.
And don't look forward to my game, I can confirm it's really repetitive (suprise?) and boring. And trust me, I WILL finish it... some time!

Just to prove that I was really doing something these few years.

Kinoko · Tue 14/02/2006 06:57:42

grundislav: I was wondering how that went just yesterday! Glad you released it!

I actually have tears in my eyes from laughing, but the song/pronunciation is WAY better than I expected! Honestly, that's pretty damn cool! (Was mainly laughing just hearing my dumb translation being sung)

Nikolas · Tue 14/02/2006 07:34:08

Scotch: WOW!!! Just wow! Could we (I, if not we), have mroe info for this game?

Kinoko: I once again need to congratulate you on the 'release something' idea!

Kinoko · Tue 14/02/2006 08:02:59

Just remember, I nicked the idea from the GameMaker forums ^_^

That's awesome scotch - reminds me a lot of the style in the old Core Design adventures - Curse of Enchantia and Universe

scourge · Tue 14/02/2006 08:22:41

Kinoko · Tue 14/02/2006 08:25:05

largo: Cool trailer! I really like the whole realistic feel to the game

Mordalles · Tue 14/02/2006 08:31:19

Posting for Rui here, for some reason he's too lazy to do it himself ^_-

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Weeeellll, I'd wanted to release something this time around, I really did. I came up with something I'm quite proud of. Here's an example of the thing in action:

http://www.lumpcity.co.uk/~skimbleshanks/Demo.rar

I'd wanted to release it as a template. But I can't. As much as I've tried to make it user-friendly, I started a project of mine (which I'd also like to show, because it's an example of my engine in action):

http://www.lumpcity.co.uk/~skimbleshanks/Light.rar

...and noticed it can't possibly be used by anyone else, unless they wanted to learn the whole thing's works in detail. Which can't be fairly asked of users. I found myself doing stuff because I KNEW how the inner stuff worked.

So, that was my intention. And on this release day, what I *can* release is the engine demo and the promise of a game to come. Still, better than nothing, heh?

Erenan · Tue 14/02/2006 09:02:59

Release something? Oh, why not?

Here's the intro sequence to .e, my work in progress:

That was very funny, Grundislav

Sounds like one of those typical ending song for a Japanese movie.

I wonder what he's singing about, though...

When the game is finished everything will be revealed
