Adventure in China (working title)

[shayavr]

Hi
Working on a game these days and wanted to share

Concept
First person view. Inspired by the classic "heart of China" and some of my trips to the orient.

Plot

In 1938 five German scientists embarked on an extraordinary quest, risking their lives on the crossing of the highest mountains in the world to reach the forbidden kingdom of Tibet. Their official goal is scientific research: anthropology and zoology. But the data they are collecting for the SS is to serve a darker purpose; their secret mission is to discover the origin of the Aryan people. They are to search for signs of a long vanished master race whose traces are believed to remain on the roof of the world. This is the sinuous of Nazi attempt to rewrite history; a new past would justify their right to change the future of the world.


70 years later Jack Harrison travel to the city of Chongqing in central China after hearing of his father`s brutal murder, trying to figure out who killed him. There he discover about his father's  strange activities revolving around a mythical Tibetan leaend.

I think that's quite obvious, as shown in your screenshots. That means, it's a good thing.

The dialogue text of the taxi driver is quite ugly though (and, it's broken). If possible, I'd recommend rendering it with a real font, like the other symbols (if you're stuffing some basic characters into a 128/256 slot SCI/TTF font you can still say tyoe the required characters with a proper font on say M$Pain and copy them pixel by pixel).

I want to use simplyfied chinese fonts but had technical probelms doing so. So I tried to create the characters I need with the font editor. Lot of hard, annoying work and not the best results..

I love how your inspiration is "Heart of China".  Definitely going to check this one out when you release it.

Nice.

Playing the demo later since I'm at work for the moment

B.t.w.:
There are 2 savegames included from a earlier version of your game.
When loading them the game will crash...  

Enjoy your Month-Long-Africa-Trip Shayavr

[shayavr]
