Announcing the sequel to The Mystery of Haunted Hollow.
It is five years after the events described in the first game and AJ is now twenty. His life for the past five years has been difficult, living a life of ridicule for his unbelievable tale of UFOs and dark cults. He lives in a small apartment and works part time in a local garage, but his real passion lies in researching the dark secrets of his home town. His small apartment doubles as an office, and with the help of his friend Bernie he spends his nights delving into the mysteries that remain unsolved.
But the Hollow has also changed in five years. Ever the magnet for the strange and bizarre, the town has grown, and secrets that have long been buried, are beginning to stir again...
Progress: 15%. I am still fairly early on in the game but the story is complete and a lot of the artwork is done.
I am not sure how long it will be until this game is finished but I'll post updates as things progress.
Screenshots:

The game currently has 14 rooms and 5 characters so it is progressing pretty well.
The road leading to an abandoned hospital that is a major location in the game.
EDIT: 01/03/05
After several days of full time work on the game, Act One is now compete. This leaves the game at approximately 40 - 45% complete, so I'm almost halfway.
A few statistics:
Rooms so far: 25
Characters so far: 12
Inventory items so far: 20
Dialogs: 19
A new screenshot below.
EDIT: 9/3/05
I am now well into the second act of the game and the end is finally in sight...just. I'm probably about 60-70% complete overall. The majority of the rooms are in place, there are a few characters still to add, and then its just scripting to do.
The screenshot below will be the last one posted before the game is complete.
