Yep, game itself is finished, now I just need to playtest the hell out of it.

Edit: Ah...looks like the game's files themselves are now having a problem. That might set me back a bit.

Your pace never ceases to amaze me. And the screenshots look great!

...my hero!

Looking forward to it. Really enjoyed the last lot. Nice and short, so appeals to my low attention span

Great to hear that Part 4 of this awesome series is on it's way. I'm interested in how the story progresses.

Maybe I should make a game of Sunshine, next?

If you mean "Sunshine", the movie, then you#ve GOT to let me be part of the project. :-)

Maybe detailing what happened to Icarus 1? Hmm...

*starts making notes*

Maybe you could also focus on what happened to Captain Pinbacker...

We're up to part 4? You are a machine, a MACHINE.

Can I help playtesting

Mngwa · Sun 28/08/2011 17:39:29

Looking forward to the fourth part. I must say that technobabylon series is one of the most interesting adventure games I played for the few last years - good luck with 4th part creation!!

Darth Mandarb · Sun 28/08/2011 20:33:20

Mngwa - Did you wait until this was just past 90 days to necro-post/break the rules?

Technocrat - let me know if/when you want to post an update and I'll unlock this!

Unlocked by request!

Technocrat · Sun 04/09/2011 08:42:45

Merci beaucoup, Darth!

So, yes, Technobabylon 4 is, as some people will already know, most certainly not dead - just held up a bit by

a) Complete graphical overhaul
b) Employment

Since the job finishes in three weeks anyway, that's not going to be much of a problem any longer. Most optimistic estimate, I'd say there'll be something testable within the next six weeks. So, just to show you what kind of thing I've been changing...

Somebody get my jaw. Like now.

Those are honestly the most fantastic sprites I've ever seen. Is this a dream? Somebody slap me.

I wouldn't call them amazing, I'd say they just look better than their predecessors! Now I just need to make backgrounds up to par with them.

Igor Hardy · Sun 04/09/2011 15:45:19

The new sprites are... darker. Will the whole episode be darker too?

cianty · Sun 04/09/2011 18:49:03

Fantastic new sprites!!

Now you need to remake all previous episodes and publish them all in one.

theo · Mon 05/09/2011 07:41:05

Nice move, man! these new sprites look a lot better.

Monsieur OUXX · Mon 05/09/2011 09:09:48

The new sprites look gorgeous!!! Can't wait to play the game.

Jackpumpkinhead · Tue 06/09/2011 17:36:10

this is defentitely my favorite ags series and i absolutely love the new look,
i cant wait to see the finished product

btw i am with "cianty", you definately need to update to older episodes now!!!!

Igor Hardy · Tue 06/09/2011 17:48:05

Hey, why so many George Lucas fans all of a sudden!?

I love the new sprites, but I'd prefer the older games to stay as they are.

I think I'll probably keep 2 and 3 as they are (because I'm lazy), but I do have plans to at least redo number one, even if it were only to improve the atrocious inventory system and the bug-ridden gameplay.
