Looking good!   

I was just wondering if the robot's name referenced anything in particular - obviously "ZX" is the CPU range of the dear old Speccy, but does the 1200 refer to anything in particular?

Well your right! the ZX is the old Speccy and The 1200 is the old Amiga 1200, I just mixed together the names of my 2 favorite computers when I was a kid.....shows how old I am!

Welcome. Good looking stuff. Are the backgrounds all photos, or some of it 3D renders? Couldn't quite tell with that shot from inside the cinema. I will certainly keep an eye on this.

Hi and thanks, they are actually a mixture of both, I start with a basic photograph and then start adding graphics and effects to each shot so when the game is completed im aiming for it to be quite hard to tell that they where originally photos and hopefully give it a kinda unique feel.   

I'm usually completely against the use of photographs as backgrounds in AGS games, but you've somehow managed to do so REALLY well. It totally creates a great atmosphere! This project sounds really exciting, and I'll be sure to follow the progress.

Thanks a lot for the feedback, I appreciate it. Yeah I was actually against using photographs myself at first because I thought characters and objects etc would just stand out way too much and it would just look kinda fake and ruin the atmosphere. So I spent around 2 months through trial and error trying to make the photos look more game like and add to the atmosphere rather than take away from it. I'm really trying to give the game a movie feel especially with the music and sound effects that im working on at the moment.

Hi everyone,
I am new to AGS and this is my first time posting in the forums so I just wanted to say hello to everyone!
Okay I am currently working on my first game "Terminal" and even though it is still quite a way of completion I thought I
would post some screenshots and info about the game up.

The Story:
The game is set in the United Kingdom in London. Two scientists called Paul & Jan have been developing the worlds first
AI "ZX-1200" and after five years working on the project they are finally near completion and about to switch ZX-1200
on for the first time.
ZX-1200s systems begin powering up but when he wakes up Paul and Jan are nowhere to be found.In fact nobody anywhere is to be found and London is completely deserted! It is now up to ZX to try and find out what happened and why all the humans have disappeared.
