Doctor Who and Time's Vanguard

Doctor Who and Time's Vanguard is an Eighth Doctor adventure game set before the outbreak of the Time War. The player takes the role of the Eighth Doctor, and his companion.

The Doctor is driven off course onto a bizarre red-skyed world resembling his homeworld of Gallifrey. Unable to leave due the Doctor explores that planet and finds it devoid of life, beyond an amnesiac time lady. Exploring a Time Lord structure the Doctor and his companion discover the terrible secret of Time's Vanguard.

Is there any tools or tips available for creating good high quality LucastArt style backgrounds for use in AGS? This is always a problem when it comes to using AGS - my sprites look good, but my backgrounds look awful.

Doctor Who: The Eighth Doctor Adventures
Episode 0: Tardis Trouble

This is a proof-of-concept 1 room adventure game featuring the Eighth Doctor, portrayed in the TV Movie and subsequent radio dramas by Paul McGann. The TARDIS has been banged around by a strange current in the time vortex. You must repair and pilot the TARDIS to safety before it is destroyed.

This is intended to be a series of episodic games featuring the Eighth Doctor - Episode 1 is still in production (and may be for some time), but you can download Episode 0 here. Please bear in mind the following:-

1. Yes I know the graphics are borrowed.
2. This is my first AGS adventure.
3. This is meant to be the first few rooms of a larger adventure.
4. There are doubtless bugs, things I didn't think of etc. Also I still never figured how to keep the Tardis spinning all the time!

This is a proof-of-concept 1 room adventure game featuring the Eighth Doctor, portrayed in the TV Movie and subsequent radio dramas by Paul McGann. The TARDIS has been bufetted by a strange current in the time vortex. You must repair and pilot the TARDIS to safety before it is destroyed.

This is intended to be the first room in an extended episode, Episode 1: The Soup of Death.

Progress for Episode 0:

It's all done - though some things will be added to Episode 1 still.

Progress for Episode 1:

Graphics - 35%
Sound - 25%
Puzzles - 10%
Scripting - 10%

So far I'm using temporary backgrounds and sprites to get the scripting done (the bit I enjoy). It's coming along, but it may be a while for release.

UPDATE

The doctor now walks - and uses his sonic screwdriver.



Also, thanks to a vortex animation I created I can now create TARDIS cutscenes in-engine. Originally I assumed I was going to use movie files for these, but I found a TARDIS.gif on the 4th Doctor thread. If needs be I can remove this, but I liked it so much I used it and played around with an additional room/player switch in the TARDIS.

Only problem - I would like the TARDIS to spin continually regardless of player movements. Currently it only spins when it moves...







PEOPLE TO THANK (will be more formal)

Sound - BBC sound library, and Dr. Who sound library
Music - BIG Finish and McGann TV Movie. The BIG FINISH deserve a big plug in this as they kept the 8th Doctor alive after the TV Movie.
