[Trapped in Reality]

Trapped in Reality is the working title of my contribution to the Reality-On-the-Norm game series. I started the game some time ago, then abandoned it. I started it back up a while ago and added some more to the story.

I am introducing a new character, Elliot Benson, who finds himself trapped in Reality, unable to leave unless he proves that Davy Jones, who is in the town jail, is innocent of a crime.

The game parodies the Law & Order franchise. Mainly SVU, which is my favorite. (It parodies the intro, names, and sounds)

I've redone all of the original ron backgrounds to suit myself and my new rooms. They are hi res. I pretty much suck at character animation so I used eric's walk cycle template.

Features:

640x480 at 32-bit color

1 new character

New version of ROTN backgrounds.

Several new rooms.

L & O style video intro.



Screens:


as you can see, I haven't tallied up the scores as of yet.






Progress:

Backgrounds: 100%

Sound/Music: 90%

Story: 95%

Puzzles: 90%

Scripting 85%

[Story]

This is my first game. Its a short game for MAGS, October 2007: Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

I was originally going to do a Reality-On-The-Norm game for mags, but decided I wanted the feeling of the game to be darker since Halloween is right around the corner. I edited the Ron GUI, because I wanted colors and different cursors.


Story

Lately, Jacob has been having terrible nightmares. Nightmares that wake him up in cold sweats. Lucky for him, they are only dreams. And when he awakes, everything is back to normal. Atleast until he and his girlfriend, April, take a long trip. Then, his nightmares start to shift into reality, and Jacob must figure out what is going on before its too late.

This is my first game  8) so there is bound to be some bugs that I over looked. That's why I need beta testers before I submit it. And the graphics aren't that great, but hopefully it won't bother you too much.

I plan to enter it into the mags competition: Planes, Trains and Automobiles by Oct. 26th. So it's a MAGS/Halloween game.
