One day, I wish to make it into a commercial series and make this game professionally. For now, all that has been released is the demo, which is why the game is so short. If I ever am able to complete the commercial version I will post a link. But let me know if I am required to change this. I have modified the description on the forum post to now say it is a demo only.

Hello! After a long time of development, Dawns Wondered: At Age's End is finished. It is a short, 10 minute demo, and one day I hope to bring this to the commercial marketplace as a full game. In the future, I would like to expand on the universe, but there are no additional plans for the series yet.

An interview about the creation of the game

One limit I would love to see gone is only 999 lines of spoken voice per character!

In order to get this script working in 3.2.1, had to make a few changes, Im sharing them in case anyone gets stuck trying to get it to work like I was:

change
int curtime = GetRawTime();
to
DateTime *dt = DateTime.Now;
int curtime = dt.RawTime;

and change
StrFormat(FPS_string, "Game speed (FPS): %d", GetFPS());
SetTextOverlay (int overlay_id, int x, int y, int width, int font, int color, string text)
SetTextOverlay (id, 5, 170, 150, 0, 15, FPS_string)
to
FPS_string = String.Format("Game speed (FPS): %d", GetFPS());
textOverlay = Overlay.CreateTextual(30,  70,  200, Game.NormalFont, 15,  FPS_string );

Hello, thank you for taking the time to look at my thread! I am in the process of making an adventure game, and am looking for people to join my team. I have decided to work on this game full-time, and am looking for as much help as I can get!

Project:
A cyberpunk dystopian adventure game, taking place in the future, where governments and corporations control the world. A extreme sect of anti-technological people (think futuristic Amish or Luddites) are trying to stop the government from using technology to control people's lives. People have microchips in their head that allow them to use the technology of the world easily, but the corporations, which control the government, have backdoors in these microchips, and can control people.

Details:
A serious sci-fi thriller. Think of the book 1984, but in the future
Here is a list of some of my inspirations, there are many more, so you may get a feel for what I'm aiming for: Movies/TV: Twilight Zone: The Obsolete Man, The Prisoner, Renaissance, Hackers, Minority Report, Repo Men, Dollhouse, V for Vendetta, Equilibrium, Books: 1984, Animal Farm, Fahrenheit 451, Atlas Shrugged, Games: Mass Effect, Deus Ex, Machinarium, BioShock, Primordia, Deponia

Positions Available:
-Concept/background/character artists - a very art-heavy genre, so any art help appreciated!
-Story writers/puzzle designer - the plot's outline is finished, but characters could use fleshing out, and dialogue still needs to be written. Locations and subplots need writing as well, as well as all the rooms need to be written
-Voice actors - the script is not finished yet, but when it is, I am thinking of making it a talkie game, with voice actors

Deadline:
I'm looking to have the game finished sometime in the next 6 to 18 months. The more help I have the faster we can progress.
