Sweet!

You caught my son's attention!

Specially the red on the doorway.

looking forward to the see it finished... only 12 hours? I can't even make a decent small sprite in that amount of time, much less a complete BG!

This looks awesome pal ! love the art. Can't wait to see more. Keep it up.

Sweet, man! I like the interesting ribbon-like window frames on the rear wall.

AnasAbdin · « **Reply #183 on:** 22 Dec 2015, 10:07 »

Thanks Cassie and glad your son is showing interest! This really made my day

Thanks Rocchinator and SilverSpook, the final version is almost ready. I am going to add it to AGS and post an in-game shot

Here's the complete background from the last post:

Cassiebsg: I hope your son still finds it interesting

SilverSpook · « **Reply #185 on:** 26 Dec 2015, 08:08 »

Great job, and cool process-gif. The lighting and crazy windowframes make the scene pop IMHO.

Pre-ordering now!

Thanks SilverSpook

glad you like it.

I hope Jim Walls won't sue me

Marsi-3 Guards Locker Room (incomplete):

Spoiler: Show

Hehehe... nice homage there.

NickyNyce · « **Reply #189 on:** 30 Dec 2015, 20:36 »

Boy oh boy, you continue to impress. I want to walk through every door and push every button.

AnasAbdin · « **Reply #190 on:** 31 Dec 2015, 09:51 »

Cassiebsg: I was playing PQ last week and got the idea instantly

NickyNyce: EVERY DOOR IS ACCESSIBLE. EVERY BUTTON IS PRESS-ABLE. WHY AM I YELLING?

Nick and Anas should team up someday and make a Tardigrades/Visitor crossover -- OR an entirely new title!

I'd be honoured

maybe we could add a lot of magenta to it

I actually replayed The Visitor 3 a few days ago. Can't get enough of it.

NickyNyce · « **Reply #193 on:** 02 Jan 2016, 15:04 »

Lol....I mentioned to Anas a while back, that I wish the Visitor series looked as good as the stuff he was making. I would love to see Commander Moss remade and in all those space scenes. I'm really looking forward to this space adventure, it looks amazing.

Sadly, my two year old is on the loose, and if I turn the computer on, he must have his turn of bashing the keyboard until I shut it off. Anything I do lately has to be done after 9pm. AGS is on hold for a little longer.

AnasAbdin · « **Reply #194 on:** 03 Jan 2016, 08:18 »

The graphics style of The Visitor is a little different than Tardigrades. I really like it and maybe one day I'll create a game using a similar style

you can always keep your pencils sharp by creating little short games

Edit:
Added details to the guard's locker room:

Blondbraid · « **Reply #195 on:** 03 Jan 2016, 15:57 »

Looks great and the stickers and posters really sets the mood in the room, tough I am surprised to see not a single scratch or scribble on the toilet stalls.

AnasAbdin · « **Reply #196 on:** 03 Jan 2016, 17:40 »

Lol you're right. I am still working on it. Believe it or not, I have to come up with the messages and text before adding the graphics

there is also a dude using one of the stalls and water leakage... etc

if you have funny space themed scribbles for the stalls I'm all ears

AnasAbdin · « **Reply #197 on:** 10 Jan 2016, 08:02 »

Added more details (pigeonholes, clothes rack..) and a massive amount of scribbles!
People in long space travel become philosophers and write down a lot stuff

SilverSpook · « **Reply #198 on:** 13 Jan 2016, 06:56 »

Nice work man! Lots of love going into this game and you can see it

AnasAbdin · « **Reply #199 on:** 18 Jan 2016, 13:24 »

Thanks SilverSpook

UPDATE #18
[January 18th 2016]

This is the first update in 2016... so I thought what the hell.. make a new avatar as well

Since the last update, I've created a massive amount of backgrounds. And by massive I mean 7

all full with their details, objects, animations etc..
This is the complete version of the guards main control room:

As you may have noticed, I added a giant light source on the top center, it is also a projector for holograms and what's not. It is switched off for the sake of teasing

This is another background that I changed during testing, it's a glass ceiling tunnel that connects two parts of the starship Marsi-3. The camera is positioned inside the tunnel. So I tinted the outside surroundings into blue to get this effect.

Old:

New:

Now I have to animate a couple of long 2D-cutscenes then work on a new location. Speaking of locations, they are not accessed in a linear manner. Just as the puzzles have alternative solves, the order of visiting the locations depends on the player choice and events triggered. This gives an opportunity to collect new items that can help solve puzzles. For instance, you can visit Marsi's prison before going to planet Mars, solve the puzzles then go to Mars. Or you can visit Mars then the prison, of which you can use items collected on Mars.. and vice versa.

In sound and music terms, me bad. Didn't do any composing or recording. The graphics are taking 80% of my AGSing time, while coding is taking 5459475948575% of my life time

I hope you guys and gals save your voices for an upcoming teaser video
