"The Search" by Dima Software

AJA · Fri 28/02/2003 19:44:12

Okay, I've finally made this new thread for my AGS project, which has finally got a name!

The plot

The bank has been robbed. While the robbers were trying to escape they accidently kidnapped a computer genious, Bill Hills. So, they have to change their plan a bit. You're a not-so-smart detective, who is sent to investigate the robbery and so the adventure begins...

Screenshots

Okay, here are some screenshots from the second demo, which is not yet released, but soon.

The beginning *Updated*

The bank security

The office of the bank manager

The police station's rest room

Outside Pete's quickshop

Demo

This is actually only the intro for the game, but you can try to get pass the bank officer, if you want to.

WARNING: THIS GAME WILL CONTAIN DOZENS OF ANIMATIONS!

Looking great AJA! 8)

Cool, Aja

I liked the intro sequence, looks like an interesting story

Pet Terry · Sat 01/03/2003 14:17:05

Yay, I'm waiting this one a LOT! Looking very good AJA!

Sorry to tell you, but the demo will be late because I haven't continued working on this project for months...

But, I promise the demo will be out before the end of april/may. I just have this one thing at scholl which takes a lot of my time (okay, that's a lie: I haven't started working on that either

)... well, anyway...

LOL! This looks great, AJA. The main character sprite cracks me up, he looks really clueless. Excellent, can't wait to play this game.

Eero · Fri 14/03/2003 11:53:27

I guess that Pete's quickshop should have some perspective too...

AJA · Fri 14/03/2003 15:39:10

Thanks!

Eero: Yeah, the whole building looks like a piece of paper, but I have no idea how to make it look more 3d. And because of the view, the roof can't be seen.

Most probably I'll go through the backgrounds once again (3rd time) and add something nice to 'em.

Looks great! I liked the animation of the woman in the bank... who is working with the computer. Nice stuff.

*Loading inspiration*

Cool demo, AJA! Hooray for pixel hunting!

Eero · Sat 15/03/2003 11:41:01

Maybe something like this would help:

I know it doesn't look so good, but it's just an example...

I think that is much better, but, it still looks like a cardboard box. ;P

Eero · Sat 15/03/2003 12:50:50

At least it matches with overall style.

MadReizka · Sat 15/03/2003 13:01:43

True, true

AJA · Sat 15/03/2003 22:03:12

That really is a horrible bg...

One more to the list of bgs to be remade.

MadReizka · Sat 15/03/2003 22:08:58

AJA: It's funny, your sprites looks really really nice, like the "hero", but some of those bgs seems to be... hmm... peed while running (Juosten kustuja?) (Finnish mumbojambo)

AJA · Sat 15/03/2003 22:13:15

Thanks a lot!

But I knew that already...

I should really start designing them before starting to make them...

MadReizka · Sat 15/03/2003 22:17:23

No no no! That was ment to be joke!!! They are just fine

Didn't mean to be rude you know!

Jimi · Sat 15/03/2003 22:18:11

That detective looks like Largo off Monkey Island 2.

MadReizka · Sat 15/03/2003 22:20:59

Yeah, he does, and I like the dress he is wearing. Reminds me Discworld Noir. Goddamned, DWN dosn't work in XP! DAMN DAMN DAMN!
