The Unicated - Now with speech!

Duzz · Tue 30/08/2011 13:15:40

My entry for the August 2011 MAGS:

- The Unicated -

Join twins Bo and Mal as they struggle to escape being torn apart by a society that shuns the wicked and innocent alike. LOL!!

Download here!

The theme was "Evil Twin". It ended up being similar in a lot of ways to my first AGS game, for MAGS in 2002. Except I've come a long way since then, and had help on this one with background art and music.

Enjoy!

Update: 29/1/2012 - Released a new version with speech and a couple of other minor tweaks.

This game oozes "2011 Maggie award winner" all over the place. It's awesome!

TomatoesInTheHead · Wed 31/08/2011 09:08:10

Played it yesterday, really cool game!

Haggis · Wed 31/08/2011 11:05:19

Excellent game - short but sweet, unlike Mal

ZapZap · Wed 31/08/2011 15:10:32

Great original game!

KiraHaraReturns · Wed 31/08/2011 17:08:44

nicccccccce, every single pixel on the right spot, I will give it a try when I have some time

selmiak · Wed 31/08/2011 17:18:44

really cool stuff

Bogdan · Wed 31/08/2011 21:59:39

LOL really a good game!

Spoiler

I like how this press left and right click at the same time for ultimate combination works. I see it first time in a game and it's really awesome.

^^^^ this is a huge spoiler! Hide it now!
but I like that too, makes perfect sense

Greenskull · Thu 01/09/2011 00:57:01

This Game is Amazing

Monsieur OUXX · Thu 01/09/2011 12:12:33

Can't wait. (sorry I'm over excited by its physical appearence. I'm only a man)

Duzz · Sun 04/09/2011 01:45:00

Thanks everyone!

It's been good having some spare time this week after devoting it all to mags for a month, but it's really cool getting something done from start to finish in such a short time. Having a friend doing the backgrounds made it a lot easier, doing my own always took me the longest and I was never happy with the results. It was fun doing the character art too, haven't done pixel art like that for years.

Also, don't forget to vote!

Ghost · Sun 04/09/2011 02:13:14

Looks way wicked. Downloading...

[edit]
Woah, good one! Pretty clever interface there, and... how to put it... charmingly disgusting, in the best sense.

Kristof · Sat 10/09/2011 17:44:09

cool graphic style!

vertigoaddict · Sun 11/09/2011 01:09:25

a great and clever game XD I enjoyed it a lot

Afflict · Sat 17/09/2011 01:01:17

Awesome, I loved it! Loved the interface!

Tabata · Sat 17/09/2011 16:49:23

A very good MAGS-game with a cool story, nice graphics and a really clever interface.

I had big fun playing it!

Abisso · Sat 15/10/2011 14:58:06

You're a genius. The Siamese twin concept is awesome, and so the way you implemented it (separate mouse-buttons for each twin, and pressing both to make them cooperate). The graphic is great, very professional and fit to the game-style. The plot is deeper than I could have imagined, and made me think (between a laugh and another

).

All aspects of the game are very balanced, I can't really point out a flaw. Even the ending screen and the soundtrack are very nice.

You have all my respect.

WHAM · Mon 17/10/2011 18:23:48

I enjoyed the game, although I was left with a massive "What the heck" -feeling at the end.

Hope you don't mind me posting this, but I also recorded my playthrough in Let's Play format and the video can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRKZOH0oK1w
(Video just uploaded, will be accessible within the hour)

Duzz · Tue 18/10/2011 23:31:33

Thanks guys.! Nice let's play too. Saw a couple of bugs I must have missed watching that (damn!). The pacing at the end was a bit off I agree, it all ends really quickly. "what the heck" works for me though

I don't know, I actually liked it that way: Hinting at what CAN be in the future, with a small "on-screen" presentation. Reminded me of these Twilight Zone episodes with the "smack-in-your-face" ending.
But yes, it WAS a pretty big WTH...

Duzz · Sun 29/01/2012 02:39:20

A new version with voices is now up!

Adrian, who did the background art and most of the voices is keen for feedback on his accents, so let us know what you think.

WHAM · Sun 29/01/2012 10:28:56

Noooo! I wanted to do voice acting!

I'll bite, and will let you know after I've played this again.

kajlin · Tue 07/02/2012 19:53:34

looks good, downloading

mjomble · Sun 15/04/2012 09:43:45

Brilliant!

The voices are excellent (anyone who's only played it without them should really do a replay) and the concept works well.

Found this via the AGS Awards and will be voting for this in its categories - most of the other contestants I've reviewed so far haven't left as good an impression, at least not so quickly.

Well done!

Duzz · Tue 17/04/2012 06:37:41

Thanks Guys! I appreciate it!

david · Tue 17/04/2012 12:29:40
