GuardDuty

Chicky · Sun 04/04/2004 22:43:13

Well the time has come... No im not releasing the damn game, stop asking already.

But I've got a BIG update for you all. As many of you know, GuardDuty has gone through a major overhaul over the last few months and i thought it time to release a nice now chunk of info to keep everyone hooked.

The story is quite different from the last, but we still run along the same lines.

You play Tondbert [Tondberct] sent to Guard a highly important shipment to the King of England. Along your way you encounter a freak storm which leads you and three of your remaining crew members stranded on a surprisingly highly inhabited island, full of hopeless soles who have been stuck there over hundreds of years.

Secure yourself a ship and convince your fellow shipmates to leave the island is your ticket outta' there. But is it really that simple?

game features 32bit 320x240 graphics
Full original soundtrack by GeoffKhan
Kinky sound effects to complement the action by me
and about 25 rooms

One of the locals

Look ma', i can drop my items wherever i want.

And pick them up again

Ohh, and we're full of nice little in-game jokes.

I'm trying to feature as many AGS forum members in the game as possible, drop me a PM or reply to this thread if you're interested.

Backgrounds are WIP and do not feature all objects and details that they will in the final release.
BETA phase ONE near completion.

Estimated release: Quarter four 2004.

I can't wait!

Steve

When do i get to beta test...?

I `m also interested in how you will portray me as a character...

Looks good.

Chicky · Mon 05/04/2004 09:27:33

Foz, i dunno when the beta testing will be. Probally nearer summer. I dunno how to protray you yet foz, maybe i could edit the flashbax character to fit my style and have him represent you.

-OsC

p.s, im wondering wether some of the testers are still willing to test. I havnt seem some posting in the forums in a while, people such as Barron and Assasination. If you guys dont reply to this thread i may have to replace you with more dedicated AGS'ers, sorry.

AtakeeR · Mon 05/04/2004 12:31:37

Sounds and looks very good - I can't wait till I play it

BTW I'm new at this forum, for now I'll just play AGS games, but maybe in future I will made a game (but my art skills are catastrophic or even worse).

Chicky · Mon 05/04/2004 12:35:06

Yep, i remember this, can't wait for the betatesting, it looks awesome! Great fantasy style, and the main character is hilarious.

Sheesh! I don't lurk for a couple of days and I end up missing the one thing I volunteered for! Put me in coach -I'm ready to go!!!!!
Uh, except maybe if you need me in late May or June -I expect to be away then, so make arrangements accordingly.
I too have noticed your signature of late and am very impressed with the style and mood of the backgrounds -I think you've set an amazing stage for what looks like will be an amazing game.

Baron · Wed 07/04/2004 22:18:47

Woohoo!!! 8)

I was thinking, since you were going to have me as a crusty old guy with medals, and since your guard looks like a medieval Beetle Bailey, can I be like the Sarge?

DanClarke · Fri 09/04/2004 12:27:51

wow this looks really cool, good work

any influence from Discworld books?

remixor · Fri 09/04/2004 13:43:22

If you need any more testers, I'd love to do it. The game's looking great.
