A Screen 7 Game


Kinky Island


A playable tech demo ist here!
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=44664.msg636463987#msg636463987

It started as a joke idea from an early AGS discussion about adult games being made in AGS. It's been on a long journey but finally the production is moving along steadily now, enough to finally warrant a games in production thread, after a good ten years without one. At least the team thinks so, $50 says Darth doesn't 

Kinky Island is an adult adventure in which you control Joey, a naive and sexually frustrated young dude - transported to a glorious tropical paradise where all his frustrations can be answered, providing he's not being distracted by it's uncanny similarities to a point and click adventure, like Flight of the Amazon Queen or something.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to a funding campaign - some of whom will feature in the game!!

You may have played the demo in which case you'll remember it once looked like this:

Well now, thanks to the guys who saw an adventure game demo plea and 'Saved Kinky Island' have upgraded it in all respects to make it look more like this:

I am very thankful for all the help from

SpacePirateCaine - who makes all the character art & animation, and the awesome mappy GUI and inventory icons
SecretFawful* - creating all the new backgrounds & giving the locations a new lease of life
Dualnames - the man behind the code, the man who keeps the AGS world turning
and miez and subspark for their production assistance, and of course, all the folks who helped make the demo. I saw you on the forums not along ago cornjob, yes I did!!!

And Cornjob for all his former help - click for a special Cornjob treat!

Spoiler

Another adventure game that's coming soon 

[close]

Oops, distracted... I will be working on the story and the music. There are various thrilling places to explore on the island, including a path, a forest and a tree stump. We have however had to use some pretty mundane places like a pleasure beach, fairground and palace.

Old gift shop


New gift shop (WIP)


As Joey would say:

Would you like to know more?

Spoiler

For release early Autumn in 2013, providing we don't Run Hot... Yes, there is nudity, yes, there is bad langauge - but it's not all gratuitous sex. The game is a parody on point & click adventures and is heavily inspired by games like Amazon Queen and Teen Agent. The humor is silly and quite frankly the plot is ludicrous, but it's a comedy romp that I hope will appeal to both sexes albeit MADE BY A BUNCH OF BLOKES.

Get some awesome stuff in the game

All that's left to say that as progress is made the thread will be updated, and thanks for reading and showing an interest. Much appreciate everyone who played the demo and have kept up the hype for the game. I know it has inspired me and I hope this thread will help motivate the other team members, I'm sure you'll agree they're really making something epic out of a game that could go either way... because it's bi. Bi Screen7, I'll have you know.

Lotte, who is like Trinity from the Matrix, only called Lotte, and not Trinity, cos that would be copyright infringement

LeChuck, who is like LeChuck from Monkey Island, but is actually LeChuck from Kinky Island. Please don't sue

[close]

And that about sums it up. An important answer to an important question is, yes this will cost a little bit to buy. Thank you to Matt Frith of Englandshire for that question at Mittens. I assure you the game will have plenty of treats for point & click fans, providing you can get over the fact there are some pixelated boobs in the game. Thank you for reading, and see you on Kinky Island! No matter how stupid and impossible that phrase may be.

* though I regret to be taking some of his time from Night At Camp Ravenwood. Awesome looking game. And SPC's! Oh what the hell, let's remind ourselves in this thread!

 
SPC's game features the insides of a giant dildo. In A Camp At Night Ravenwood by SecretFawul, you'll actually be sticking that item up your own backside.

 
No, we don't actually have a clue what you do in subspark's new game. And of course this Xmas, miez makes all our Dr. Jones dreams come true...


In Dualnames upcoming game, you'll search corridors for arm flailing men, barrels and the number 42.

[Dualnames]

Only the following words, would do this topic justice.

BEST TOPIC EVAAHHHHHHRRRRRRR. PERIOD.

[Galen]

In the words of a generation: Tits or GTFO.

[Secret Fawful]

Mark, you promised me you wouldn't tell anyone about the explicit dildo puzzle in Ravenwood. Curses. Now I'll have to tell everyone about the scene where the giant banana robot impales the busty female Godzilla monster...from behind. Over and over.

Spoiler

DISCLAIMER: This never really happens. Please don't fire me, sir, like you did with all the others.

[close]

[WHAM]

In the words of a generation: Tits or GTFO.

I second this notion and demand bare female Homo Sapiens mammaries! I remember one of the old threads, and it looked AWESOME back then. Even more so now! 

[tzachs]

Looks kinky, I love it!
Too bad about the pleasure beach and palace and such, but if it's needed for the plot then I guess we'll survive, and I bet the tree stump will make up for it.

[Cyrus]

WOOOW! More and more of your projects get ressurected!

[Radiant]

I would totally play this for the articles.

[NickyNyce]

Now that's one island I would like to be stranded on. With a title like this you can't go wrong. 

[Igor Hardy]

So this thread is like... superbly remade Kinky Island and 10 more games coming soon too boot!?  :o

[Grim]

I like all games with "island" in the title.

[Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens]

So Stinky Thighland's finally going to get made?  It's become almost as legendary as FoY, so a 2012 release might just make the planet explode, afterall!

[m0ds]

Yes - Stinky Thighlands!! Ha Thanks for all the nice comments! Updates and another demo somtime between now and release. Yes, it could all co-incide with doomsday 

Now I'll have to tell everyone about the scene where the giant banana robot impales the busty female Godzilla monster...from behind

Giant banana robot...now there's an idea

[Ghost]

Ghost does a HAPPY DANCE!

[SpacePirateCaine]

Should I start working up a sprite for a Giant Banana Robot then, Mods? And are we going to need an "Impaling" animation for it as well?

And yes, it is my personal mission to cause a premature rapture with my expertly rendered pixelated boobies. Fear my 320x200 pixel depravity!

[Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens]

Don't forget the scene where a chick's boobs mysteriously grow bigger, tearing through her clothes to the surprise and wonder of all males present.

[NickyNyce]

Don't forget the scene where a chick's boobs mysteriously grow bigger, tearing through her clothes to the surprise and wonder of all males present.

Yes...this needs to be done! But they must tear through a barely there bikini.... IMO

[Snarky]

Has anyone heard how The Forgotten Element is coming along, by the way?

I couldn't really make out what was going on in that clip you showed us at Mittens, Mods, but I gather it had to do with pixel people having sex, and I heartily approve of that. The new graphics look great, and I'm sure this will be a fun, sexy time for everyone.

[Dualnames]

Has anyone heard how The Forgotten Element is coming along, by the way?

Isn't it obvious that it was abandoned?

[qptain Nemo]

Isn't it obvious that it was abandoned?

Not if you're as optimistic as Snarky!

[Darth Mandarb]

This thread is not about The Forgotten Element... let's stay on topic.

[m0ds]

Lots more art has been made, but there's no denying it - we could use your help, and you can also help secure future projects by the team.


You can contribute to help us have it ready by Christmas 2012, and this also acts as a method to pre-order as the game is commercial... be a sexy hero of some kind, help us out!

http://www.indiegogo.com/Kinky-Island?a=23986

Your contribution will also help towards the development of Screen 7 (into a teh proper game studio!)

[Privateer Puddin']

Shame it's not like Kickstarter where the money isn't taken until later. You'll have my money nearer the time though!

[Peder 🚀]

If I somehow magically get the funds to back this project I definitely will! .

[Eggie]

I want to be a sexy hero!

[m0ds]

Thanks! Tom, I hear you - there was an option for that, the thing is, if it doesn't reach the goal (in this case 2,000), all the funds get sent back to the contributors. Last time I checked Kickstarter was still for U.S. residents only (yep still is). Not sure if the card option takes it straight away or not but I'll look into that. Cheers for considering it though...you are life long fan!1

Eggie, looks like you are a sexy hero!! Phwooar! THANK YOU!!  

Also Mr Wham Games...very kind! Glad you support tit--this.

[WHAM]

Hmm... Adventure, beaches, male protagonist, nice graphics, elite team of developers...

Hmm... I'm still not quite sure...

WAIT!? BOOBIES!!?? TAKE ALL MY MONEY RIGHT NOW!!!

[Privateer Puddin']

Thanks! Tom, I hear you - there was an option for that, the thing is, if it doesn't reach the goal (in this case 2,000), all the funds get sent back to the contributors. Last time I checked Kickstarter was still for U.S. residents only (yep still is). Not sure if the card option takes it straight away or not but I'll look into that. Cheers for considering it though...you are life long fan!1

Yeah, IndieGoGo do a refund where if it doesn't reach the goal, you don't pay. But they still take the money from you up until that point, and then refund. Kickstarter just doesn't take any until the very end, shame it's US only at the moment. Anyway, if there is still a $100 slot available later, that will be mine. I can be virtually humiliated. Hooray.

[m0ds]

@WHAM:



Thanks!!! ANIMATED boobies I hasten to add  8)

@Tomster: Awesome!! You'll be an awesome in-game character   I just noticed the page makes out there are 35 custom characters available as a perk, which isn't a problem, unless they're all booked up by guys. See, the game is also sexist, so there is only limited space for blokes*. But consider your space reserved because you are a loyal kinky islander indeed

* Mind you, there is no evidence to suggest this game appeals to anyone other than blokes.

[The Great Underground Empire]

I just grabbed up the first in-game character position!    This looks awesome, I can't wait to hold my steamy, naughty little copy in my nervous, first-timer hands!

C'mon, pitch in everybody, we can make this game happen!

[m0ds]

Thanks a lot sir, great going! I'll be in touch to get a couple of photos from you in the near future Yours and those others who have pitched in have already helped get the ball rolling for stability with this project and Screen 7 itself. Woohoo!

[nihilyst]

That's 10$ from me

[m0ds]

Ooh thank you nihilyst! Awesome and kind of you and all the other contributors. I'll be sending out the first update mid-week.  8)

Uh oh, why is this godawful adventure game character in our game? 

[Tenacious Stu]

If you have a tutorial for the game, you could call it a TITorial.

You can have that one for free 

[Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens]

$100 for an in-game likeness?  Holy shit...and to think I actually worked on this project for nothing way back when...

I'll see if I have some funds to give you a bump, but I can't promise much since money is not great right now.

[m0ds]

Limited space...limited people with $100.

Everything works out

But thank you Progz, and thanks Stu! I don't think the alternative for walkthrough is appropriate to write here 

[m0ds]

Thank yous for your contributions to date, now www.kinkyisland.co.uk is finally in our possession (but nowt there yet!) If anyone feels they can supply a simple web-design unique to the project let me know, you will of course be able to take credit on the website itself and in-game as our designer, and get all the same perks as one of our contributors (free copy).

There's still time to make your mark on the Kinky Island funding, and anyone who does help out will get special offers on all up-coming Screen 7 stuff! Luke is warming up his paintbrush ready to draw sprites of real people into the game which will happen at the end of the IndieGoGo campaign. Of course, all pledges means a free copy...

http://www.indiegogo.com/Kinky-Island

Thanks again

[WHAM]

The lack of support for this project makes me sad It's like people dont care about boobs!
I'll see if I can scrounge up a little bit more money in support, but can't promise anything.

[m0ds]

Your support for all things titties is admirable WHAM! Not to worry, the funding goal is a bit...crazy... But people have still been clicking the new website URL (despite me saying there is nothing there yet) and also the Summerbatch one (despite me saying there is nothing there yet) so the last couple of days has seen more traffic to the s7 website than the past year

But there is time. And that $300 raised has been purely from one thread here at AGS, so I really should go and mention it elsewhere. Very grateful for those who picked up the link (like yourself WHAM) on this board and helped out.

I'll make a short video for the IndieGoGo page for the final 30 days worth of campaign, with info on the new project and team and a little play-through of the old demo.

[m0ds]

Thank you those who have contributed recently...you know who you are! And surprisingly...a surge in female contributors  :o

Cat recently asked me a very important question - will the game have anything that will appeal to women, ie, sexy naked men?

This is a very good question and now that female contribution has occurred - one that will need to be answered in time... Answers to that and the universe, along with a short video explaining the game, will appear on the IndieGoGo page within a week. Once again thanks, there is still time to claim a perk, especially if your name is Matt Frith!  http://www.indiegogo.com/Kinky-Island

[m0ds]

Considering who has pledged recently (you know who you are) I just want to say thank you! Great support from the AGS community. Some surprise names too!! I wanted to make a video to explain some things about the game, and still will - but I've got some gnarly fever and I literally haven't been able to stay up for more than a few hours for the last few days. *cough splutter*

All I can say is thank you for supporting and thanks for trusting in me to write a half decent game. All it has to do now is live up to the expectations! I've almost got the temporary website finished (and have been working on multiple sites for the new look screen 7) and once the campaign is over (around the same time the websites go up) it will be time to focus on the development. As pledgers you will still get info sent via IndieGoGo throughout its production, so you can read about your money being blown on booze and hookers er er I mean on game specific material.

Furthermore, keep an eye on the Recruitment board and Screen 7 recruitment thread (currently non existent) for extra ways to involve yourself in this and other projects. Or just sit back, relax and wait for your fulfillment of KI. Thanks again for helping me out here, getting the wheels turning and your contribution also inevitably helping the big s7 wheel start to turn (and probably detach and roll down a hill with a cpt. Jack Sparrow on it in the future). Another newsletter and that promised video very soon...

There's still time to secure a free copy for yourself, and you won't even be age verified Visit http://www.indiegogo.com/Kinky-Island
Just $10 pledge gets you a copy and the news.

[DBoyWheeler]

I could so imagine one review might say about Kinky Island:

"Monkey Island meets Leisure Suit Larry!"

[CosmoQueen]

Wow this looks like it's gonna be hella amazing! I haven't thought about Teen Agent and Flight of The Amazon Queen in AGES. Really takes me back cuz those were some of the first point and click games I've ever played along with Laura Bow and Hugo's House of Horrors. I'm really excited for this

[m0ds]

Thanks CosmoQueen. Yes that's right, inspired by underdog adventure games - Amazon Queen was the first p&c game I ever bought for myself (mail order, woohoo!) I really need to give it another play, and TeenAgent too (which is free nowadays, bless its cotton socks!).

And thanks DBoy, you're right - I am excited to see what generic pull quotes people use about the game when it's time. Funny though, that MI and LSL have no real influence on this game, I've never played LSL (tried when I was young but couldn't beat the copy protection) and first played MI 1 & 2 AFTER coming up with this game. But you may see a few references, to the latter. I still have no intention of playing LSL

Cheers to those who've left a comment or made a pledge on the IndieGoGo page. Just over a week of pledgy time left, and remember your pledge will include benefits to other Screen 7 stuff that is just around the corner! Thanks again for the interest in this game

http://www.indiegogo.com/Kinky-Island

[Ali]

I finally got around to pledging $10. Sorry it took so long, and sorry it can't be more!

[m0ds]

Thanks Ali, that's great! Every little helps... I guess we're even on pledging each other now!

Just one final day to support the project financially. If so, you'll continue to get updates during development and of course, for $10 or more you'll get free copy when the game goes on sale. Thanks again for all the support and the interest in KI!

[kconan]

  The in-game likeness sold me, I'm in.

[Eric]

I've just kicked in a little too. Thanks for listing Screen 7 as the payee. I'm not sure the wife would like Kinky Island showing up on the credit card bill!

[m0ds]

Thank you Kconan, thank you Eric! Glad the payment info wasn't sultry, definitely don't need to be causing relationship rifts with this game!!

In-game characters will be started very very soon, I'll email and collect some photos by the end of next week. Campaign ends in less than 48 hours, yourselves and all the other AGS contributors are very kind

[m0ds]

Thanks to a very kind 'anonymous' contributor the campaign total has just shot up and is not at all far from the proposed goal of $2000 now. Can you help us reach it?

FAQ

When will teh game be ready?
The more we raise the quicker it can be made, because our team can be paid to work on it.

Why aer the screenshot on IndieGoGo 'censored'?
It's IndieGoGo's policy to not support derogatory projects nor include nudity of any form on their campaign pages. Nothing is censored in the game.

What kind of name can I give the character if I pledge enough?
It will need to be a human-ish name because our characters are based on people, not aliens

[Bishy]

To refer back to an older question you said you would would answer in a new campaign video, will there be any male nudity?

[m0ds]

To refer back to an older question you said you would would answer in a new campaign video, will there be any male nudity?

Yes! People have asked for it so I've written some in. But whether the 'blowjob' mini-game makes it in or not is another question altogether...

As for the video - just been too busy. It'll be made and available in the near future for those who've contributed.

[straydogstrut]

Dropped a few pennies in your cap..

In all honesty, this is not really my cup of tea and by that I don't mean any disrespect to Mark or Screen 7 (To be fair I should really give the demo the benefit of the doubt when I have the time!), but i'm keen to support Screen 7 in whatever way I can, not least because I think Mark is awesome and I have fond memories of Adventure X

Best of luck with the production and to all those involved

[m0ds]

Thank you Mr McCoughing (and everyone else who has pledged very recently) - consider yourself getting a discount ticket for A-X 2012!

Under $200 to the goal...AMAZING

Another FAQ:

I'm not happy about the fees
But did you know if we reach the 2000 goal, IndieGoGo halve the fees, from 9% down to 4%, so the project receives more!

[Sslaxx]

Just slammed in £33.30 ($50) to this.

$2,392 as of right now - $392 over the goal, 19 hours to go. Congrats!

[Wow, something's screwy with the forum software and unrecognised/problematic character symbols (such as the pound sign). Just had to edit this to get it to show up again properly in the thread.]

[WHAM]

Just slammed in £33.30 ($50) to this. $2,392 as of right now - $392 over the goal, 19 hours to go. Congrats!

This make me all giddy! *parties*

[m0ds]

Just woke up..... omg..THANK YOU!!!!  Certainly did not seem there would be any chance of meeting the goal a few days ago. I was very wrong - you're all stars, your support is touching!

...My crotch!

Mother's birthday today so cannot do much but I'll definitely send some updates and videos your kind contributing way next week.

[Tabata]

YAY!
Congrats to you, congrats to us,
congrats to everyone who wants to play this game!

       LET'S HAV' A PAAAAAATY ...
         

[Dualnames]

I made a post in the AGS blog and the Waffles community, that I'm sure kind of helped, so it's lovely to see this exceed the goal.

[m0ds]

[Bishy]

I am pleasantly surprised it reached it's goal. I will admit, I was worried it wouldn't. It seems everyone just piled in the last couple of days.

[Jared]

Once again I'm puzzled by how I've managed to miss this so long. Just gave, even though it's made it (stretch goals? ) because I felt I should give something back to this great community. Especially with all the cash I've been throwing at the has-beens on Kickstarter

Best of luck with it all, m0ds.

[kconan]

  Wow  There are now two Rulers of Kinky Island!  The Kinky donaters are coming out of the woodwork in the home stretch.

[Stupot]

  Wow  There are now two Rulers of Kinky Island!  The Kinky donaters are coming out of the woodwork in the home stretch.

I wonder if those two people are actuaslly being very shrewd, with the whole 2% revenue offer. If the game does well, then that could even turn into a little profit.  Better than buying stock in Facebook, anyway.

[m0ds]

Thanks for putting something in, in the last few hours Done, dusted... very happy... off to the Caribbean now, see you all in a couple of years!

I wonder if those two people are actuaslly being very shrewd, with the whole 2% revenue offer. If the game does well, then that could even turn into a little profit.  Better than buying stock in Facebook, anyway.

Spoiler

Ha! Well one of the Rulers I did check with to make sure they hadn't slipped and added a 0 to their pledge by accident! The other is my good friend here in my hometown. I think my ranting to him that people in our local vicinity will ask me week in week out what I'm up too but never pay any actual interest when I have something to show made him go for a pledge. And I know it wasn't the 2% share that interested him either, it was the t-shirt. And the t-shirt has kind of strangely ALWAYS been the thing people want He seems to think it will make a great conversation starter, hehe - and of course, he can boast 'It's a game I produced'

[close]

But all these pledges will help, thanks.. Jubilee weekend now though, got so much on, very limited PC/internet time over the next few days but after that, well, KI becomes a 24/7 job, thanks to your kind help!

[m0ds]

A quick update to say I've been working on it, and talk a little bit about it in a project showcase kind of video that I quickly made (and was hoping to stick in the release something thread but missed it)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSoYiZ22M7c

CamStudio, which still doesn't like videos longer than 5 or 6 mins, was not capturing the game at fullscreen and sadly the stretched edition looks nasty via youtube, but you get the jist of it. Limited time also means I don't go into much detail about anything, but it certainly got my adrenaline pumping making the vid, hehe. I'll make another one in a month's time and report on progress again & hopefully get better in-game footage next time

[Chicky]

Thanks for the update Mark! Kinky Island is looking great, despite the video quality I can't wait to get my sweaty palms all over it.

Ben Jordan - the editing is really tight! I liked the shot where he finds 'the occult establishment'.

Did i hear the humble scratch of a clipper flint? What next, bong hits?

[m0ds]

Cheers Nathan and thanks for your "MIDI" 'like' the other day

Over 6 months and no update here, sorry about that! But I wanted to say production is going pretty well. I've knuckled down over the last few weeks now that Xmas/new year/birthday period is well and truly ended. I've got 80% of the completed assets into the game, going to finish that off in the next week and then begin implementing the story.

Have not touched AGS since December 2011, so it's feeling good to be doing some game dev again And even getting to grips with 3.2.1

Also thanks for the interest shown at AdvX and very sorry I didn't show/really promote the game there nor FoY, but at the next show I hope to rectify that as I'd like to do as much Screen 7-ing as AdventureX team-ing and hungover-ing.

Well, that should cover any web searches for a while after the recent exposure on PC Gamer.com. Also thanks for the coverage gnome. And a Bulgarian blogger. Appreciate it! See you again in a few months 

[kconan]

I was just poking around for the latest Kinky Island news, thanks!  Looking forward to more screenshots, brief beta-news, etc...

[m0ds]

In a bid to "release something 2013" this little sample was made. I didn't manage to make the deadline but because Micheal did it inspired me to get this finished. So I am done tinkering with it and need to get on with the full game

No narrative, botched puzzle, general testing ground and minimal sprites & sfx here, but still - a preview of the in-game experience



Download .RAR file (70mb)

(Updated Aug 4th with Save & Load ability)

Requires: Mouse, soundcard for effects & music, 130mb HDD space, Win XP/Vista/7, an open mind - let me know of any issues!

Some swearing and other equally shocking low-res surprises. Not for kids!

[Armageddon]

OH YES! Gotta play this right now.

EDIT: So four things, the verb text images should change color and maybe animate to a different pictorial frame when you scroll over them, or maybe just make the verb word change to red or something, would make it feel nicer. Also Do is Use, that's weird. Also I'd change the verb order from Look, Talk, Walk, Do to Do, Talk, Walk, Look. Just a personal preference as look is very wide and Do is very squished when Do is the superior verb and for some reason the Look pictograph makes me thing of Do instead of Look.

There is no way to open a menu either, ESC doesn't work and clicking on the Kinky Island center thing doesn't bring up settings. I guess that hasn't been added, but for people that play in fullscreen it's a pain because alt+tab resizes all your other windows and moves them just to close the game in process.

I'd also change the right mouse click to use the default main interactive verb of the object, right now it only does look. In traditional 9-verb the text saying what will happen above the verb bar would go a color shade higher when hovering over inventory items and it would show the action that would happen if you right click an inventory item and it would auto use the default main verb for that item. Right now it just stays as Walk To Brain even if you right click in regular dark grey, when it would be more responsive to the player if it went to a lighter grey and showed Look At Brain, obviously that would be overwritten if you select a verb yourself. Also Left click would still do nothing as it does right now. I hope I explained that right. Mostly just show what verb will be used if you right mouse click instead of just showing walk. And actually just use a lighter grey for the text when going over ANY hotspot or object so you know it's something to interact with quicker.
I'd also remove the right click on hotspots to scroll through verbs and just make it show the default main verb that item wants to use like inventory items. Like in FoA doors would always show Open when you hovered over them and right mouse clicking would auto do that.

It bothers me in more commercial adventure games that you can't cancel a look or use sequence while your character is walking to a hotspot. GotThere is the greatest thing ever and makes games feel 10x more professional.

These are nitpicks of my preferences, the game is very good regardless. I love the brain hints too, and all the wacky Humoungous Entertainment type sounds for the UI.

Oh and this game needs more T&A. And raise the walk speed just a little bit, 10 seconds to walk across a screen gets tedious. Also you should add "I can't x that." defaulting phrases because using the rubble or using the stapler on the large hole nothing happens and it feel buggy when that happens. Also I can't get out of this square box with weird light rubble door, where is the key, how do I move the rubble? Cut the web, ect...

EDIT EDIT: I got a badly drawn vine now, that was a pixel hunt. Also when using items on hotspots sometimes the hotspot name disappears while the player is walking to the hotspot. And the use sparkly sound is the most annoying of all the others ones because of length and tingy soundnessness. I noticed only the stapler has the nice dark red outline, brain and vine do not. Brain has no AA on the edges but the vine does. The dust/flies are impressive and gives some volume to the space.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: I gave up sadly, I'll wait for a walkthrough. I've never played an adventure game without a walkthrough so I'm not the best person to judge puzzles. Brain gave the same hint all three times and then I never got hints again.

[Tabata]

Ha, ha, ha â€" that was fun! 
Just some responses missing and little things like running through an object.
Nice graphics, interesting locations and funny responses gave me some laughs.
Hopefully, filming the end didn't hurt you too much?

I am eager to see the game finished to play it 

[kconan]

  Cool!  Is there a rough release date?

[cat]

I tried the demo. The graphics are nice, the lines are fun and the music is nice. But I hate the GUI. It feels like the unwanted bastard child of Lucas Arts and Sierra. Having to right-click every time or clicking the "use" button (where the sound starts to get annoying pretty soon) is complicated. I prefer the standard right/left click interface, but if going for verbs either use the standard LA system with right-click default actions or Sierra style with keeping the cursor mode and not changing to walk after every action. This mix starts to get tedious.

Btw, I'm still stuck in the room with a vine.

Edit: Is there a way to save a game? I tried several buttons just to get the game restarted 
Edit2: I like talking to the brain 
Edit3: Just read the other posts, so, yeah, what Armageddon said

Played the tech demo and completed it. The dialogue was quite funny - especially the end with the alien. The outro movie was genius ! I was really impressed by the naked lady animation, pretty spot on.

Like others I can see how the 'do' sound effect can grit on the nerves after a while. The other sfx were good, though. The first puzzle was a bit 'out there', but anyone playing will probably realize it's not supposed to be the most logical game in the world. The Gui was easy to use.

Best of luck!

Thanks for your thoughts folks, have a penny!



No way to save a game, I forgot, sorry. Complete one action in the first room and you'll be able to finish it in under 10 mins after that. I'll look into that "GotThere" thing. I only learned of the animate inventory module the other day so that was a brand new idea there. Too bad I can't find a way to end an animation via that module, it seems to only allow for an anim to start and to loop, not to end. Also sounds don't play if you've linked them to a view via that module for some reason.

Do is very squished when Do is the superior verb

Interesting point. I'd beg to differ though, in this demo it's inferior

PS. Tab for (some) options. 1,2,3,4 for walk speeds.

GUI, right mouse button AND mouse wheel give you some options, two ways to avoid the chimes You'll be able to turn GUI sounds off in the full game. And, though only slightly effective in that tech demo, you'll get a hint at why there are three ways to cycle the options. Because sometimes using the GUI is too slow (THAT IS YOUR HINT ARMA AND CAT!!!)

Thanks for playing!

PS. Not to be construed as an official demo, though I will update it before announcing it beyond the AGS forums with some of your suggestions (before I go to Mittens) so thanks for taking the time!

Update: You can now Save & Load, just re-download the RAR file above. regards!
