Johnny Rockett Adventure

[warmer]

Hey there Mr. Borg, totally dig on the story idea.  I'm a sucker for anything involving space.

Where are you on the music side of things?

I would be happy to contribute some original tunes to the project if you don't already have the music all figured out.

Check out my studio banner at the bottom there you can hear samples of my work as well as my references, and also here is my page for 'Warmer' http://www.myspace.com/warmer

it's a solo project on the record label 3am Devices.  Think NIN meets radiohead and the muse.

I've done a few original for film scores and am working with Harvester Games on an upcoming project.

please get back to me via

I check that address a few times and day and I don't get on AGS daily so that is the quickest form of communication.

Yeah I am after music, alot of the feel and the story has changed since I've been developing it. From seemingly no where some black humour has been injected into it and the character's backstory has changed too....along with the intro sequence. Johnny Rockett has now become a stow-away on the cargo ship.

This has always been more of an excercise in learning AGS (especially the scripting side of things) so game planning...has taken somewhat a backseat (I'm kind of planning things as I go).

Some progress:

I've made some nice death animations for the character now and a GUI 'You have died' window which is displayed on death, thats all working well. Changes to the story and character backgrounds have been made, some dark humour has been injected into the game and the character has become more cowardly.

Another screenshot too (I don't really want to show much more artwork now but I thought...why the hell not? This will probably be the last screengrab until its release.)



Cheers

This looks really great!

You could have posted one of those death animations?

[Pixelton]

haha now they have to be a suprise...The game artwork is alittle blurry for some reason when run in fullscreen which is abit odd but I hope to correct this when I figure out that issue.

If it's possible, make sure the player is 'restored' before he dies, so it's not necessary to keep saving..

[Pixelton]

On the GUI there is a 'Restart, Load and Quit' option so you can just go back to the start after death, I started playing the Space quest game using my Amiga Emulator and as nasty and cruel the game is it really inspired me

If you set it to 2x or 3x first, then run at fullscreen it should be better. It's to do with how monitors scale pixels, or something...

Juicy new screenshot:) Looking good!

And if you do get to work with Warmer on the music I can only say he's an incredible artist and some of his songs have this deep sci-fi feel to them...

[Pixelton]

Yeah I'm looking forward to it, sadly he's away from his studio but I can't wait to see what he produces. The only music I have is a few place holder tunes but arn't idea for release. I'm quite excited. I'm probably 2/3rds of the way through the game production but its quite hard to put a percentage on the thing as a whole.

Animation wise I'm pretty much done, I have 2 more rooms I need to build and I have a few puzzles that I need to figure out how to script in but otherwise I don't see why I couldnt have this released very soon.
