Winter's Shadow

Trailer.

[Dualnames]

This is the CalinBen game right? Why did you post just the trailer? And not just make a WIP?

About what I saw looks good. Though, well, perhaps it's me. I find the story a little cliched. Which is perfect, when you suffer from cliched stories according to me (because no one else finds it that way) you excel in gameplay. Last time that happened was with Shifter's box!!

The trailer looks really professional.
Looking forward to this...

Uuu adult + horror, me like.

Also like the sign at the end saying "hope" in the other direction.

This looks very similar visually to what i've been working on recently... I think you've nailed it a bit more than I have so far... maybe I should give you guys my script and you can make it for me... =P

Looks fantastic though, you've got to keep us posted! Not too many details though!!! I love being surprised by games.

Very tantalising!

I enjoyed this because it's rare to find a good trailer for an adventure game, because the gameplay usually looks un-dynamic. Admittedly the first line "Hmm, it's empty besides a screwdriver" is less than high-octane, but it establishes a tone of mystery and intrigue very nicely.

I'm still not sold on the melodramatic narration, but that's just for the trailer, right? I assume the game won't have McCarthy giving a poetic description of every item the main character touches.

The music sounds familiar. Is it 65daysofstatic?
Anyway good job, that is a sweet looking trailer.

[Crimson Wizard]

Hmm... is this was why Ben wasn't in MSN for couple of months?

It does sort of sound very 65daysofstatic, but maybe that is only because of the drum pattern behind the strings.

I couldn't help noticing some really sweet rain & reflection & smoke effects. That sort of thing really gets me going, I must be weird...   

I like the walking animation. Sticky feet have never been stickier, somehow... But it works and looks pretty realistic!
Very nice backgrounds too! Keep up the good work!

[markbilly]

Super cheesey but it looks lovely!

[Andail]

Oi, not really my taste, but great job anyways...
Much too melodramatic music and narration, especially when the screen is just showing a girl doing mundane stuff like looking at things and chatting with people.

Still looking forward to the finished product

Very melodramatic, but very good for a trailer! She can run really fast, too. Whenever I see pretty AGS particles I just wonder if you've managed to get the sprite to walk through or behind them, but technical thoughts aside that window light looks great*. Don't you-guys games ever feature close-ups? There was a distinct lack of them in the trailer. Knowing it wasn't all just screen to screen action would really tempt me

* Ooh on second watch I noticed you DID get her behind the effect, good job

[Bulbapuck]

I love how random this is Posting this in General Discussion almost made me miss it

But as I commented on youtube: niiiiiiiiiceeeeeee!!!1!11!1!1!1!1!1!11!!11!!!!!!

[Chicky]

A god bit o' cheddar! 

Looks good! Ben has learnt some new tricks

[Questionable]

I think it was posed here because they don't want to divulge to much info about the game yet... Makes sense to me. The regulations for starting a thread in the game announcement forum are pretty strict and it would make sense that on occasion people would want to tease a new project but not necessarily in the way that the "Coming Soon" forum kind-of forces you to.
