Hey there!

Good luck with this one! I like the story, and your backgrounds really look interesting. Although they aren't top notch, they create an uneasy and unique atmosphere.
I'm definetely going to play this one. Keep it up!

By the way, what's that song you used in the teaser? It rocked. 

See you!

Hey Sektor!

I haven't posted here for quite a long time, but now I just have to!

Great game! It really brought me back on track - for months I haven't been dealing with adventure games, but now the fascination is back again. Thanks for that! 

Your graphics are simply brilliant. Or, as Darth Vader said: "Your skills are complete." The backgrounds look fantastic, the characters and their animation are far better than in the Stargate game. The puzzles are fair and entertaining - just the way, I like it.

The only thing I didn't really like was the story-progression. The idea itself was okay, even that clone-thing was right up my alley. But the story never really sucked me into the game. It was 75% puzzle-solving, and 25% wondering about what's going on there. I can't really give you any hints or tips on how to improve your story-telling, since I'm working on my own gane for ... quite a long time. Anyway, I don't have a lot of experience as a game-writer. I can just tell you my feelings as a player.

Maybe you should start writing short stories. 

Anyhow: Great, great game! I totally enjoyed playing it! Hooray for this community! And once more, I'll try to get back to my own game. 

Wow! Just looking at those sprites is a massive inspiration. These are great! Good luck with your project there.

Hi there!

Just played your game. Nice job! I had fun ... the dragon made me smile. 

Thanks for ten entertaining minutes.

See you!

Hi there!

I'm just playing your demo - absolutely great. I always thought that I didn't care for a first person view in an adventure game. Playing "The Marionette" I don't know where I got that idea from.  The looks, the music ... everything just sucked me into the story. What else is there to say?

Godd luck with this one!

Hello there!

I played your demo and I have to say: Wow! Great job. You really created a nice atmosphere there. I'm really looking forward to the completed game. Thumbs up! 

And this new background looks really good, too. You have a pleasant and consistent style! Love it ...

Good luck with the game!

What's the deal with adventure games? - I once thought about doing a Seinfeld adventure. I'm still in love with this idea, but I find it extremly hard to come up with puzzles for that one. Funny dialogues? - Yes. Entertaining gameplay? - Well ...

Hi there!

Nice one ... I sent you a PM concerning the problem with the character's size.

See you!

Wow, what a great game. Thanks, for creating this awsome series!

The only thing I didn't get: what was so special about this building inspector to become the new ... thing? However - great atmosphere. I really enjoyed this game. And certainly not for the last time.

Thanks a lot!

I sense something; a presence that I have not felt since ...

I'm speechless ... I'm without speech. What a deliciously refreshing post. Great looks, great story, great progress - what's not to love. Congrats! I'm definetely going to play your game! 

My first attempt at sprite jamming:

Ã,  Ã, Ã,  Ã, x2
(14 Colors, 34*34)

Pick the wrong movie I did.

Why limit the Bond character to a sophisticated accent? Hasselhoff could imitate that!  Besides, he already has a great deal of experience with gadget-stuffed cars.

What the ... The Hoff still has the same crumpy videos like in that Ooga-Chaka-Period?
Good looking guy and brilliant actor he is - makes you wonder why nobody has suggested him as the next Bond.Ã, 

Hi there!

Don't get me wrong, please - these backgrounds look mighty great. But (here it comes ...) they remind me of several comics, too.
For example the well and the river bank in the first one - they look a lot like the stuff from "Asterix and Obelix". Most of the other elements remind me of Disney-drawings. Now, is that goo or bad? Well ... These pictures somehow remind me of composite backgrounds, generated by some "make your own game in three days"-software ... except for that car, which seems oddly out of place. But, overall, I like the style. Cartoon-style is always to my liking. If you can manage, to fit your characters into these backgrounds, everything's fine ... And I wouldn't care for more detailing, either.

I guess, that was not helpful at all.Ã, 

What I wanted to say is: I like the style, but it lacks personality, because I always ask myself "Where have I seen that before". But I think, that would by my personal problem ...?Ã,  

Hello there!

I've been around this forum for quite a while now, working on games, cancelling them ... business as usual. 

But now: New game, new name.

So, hello once again! I'm Stefan, 30, from Germany. Hopefully, this time I'll be a more constructive member of this really great community.

See you around!

So, what do you imply? - That I should read the stuff that I link to?Ã, 

Ooops ... I feel dumb. If you don't mind, I'll continue banging my head against that brick wall.

Thanks a dozen! 

Ahoi there!

I just started working on my first game ... for the tenth timeÃ,  . Anyway, I was looking for a good working title, and thought "The Thule Deception" sounded kinda good. There's just one question: How do you pronounce Thule? Is it "Thewl", or "Tooly", or what? Not, that it's really important - I just want to konw.

Thanks!Ã, 

Excellent, indeed...

Thanks a lot for that, ProgZmax! I see, what you mean. My mistake was, that I did things in the wrong order. I shaded the walls, the carpet and everything, and only then I added the lamp. Next time shading comes last!

Boy, these were some helpful hints, you all gave me. Can't wait for the weekend, to give it another shot.   

Wow, this has some nice atmosphere. I'm really seeing all kinds of landscapes in my head - and I have only had one beer by now. 

I would agree tho, that some kind of a medieveal flute-thingie would fit the lead melody even better.

But again: great! Really, really enjoyable.
