So ... is this dead?  Does this need to be locked?

Yes it is, please lock it

The game concept and story are 100% as well as the graphics, animations, sounds and videos. The voiceovers are on the line too and the programming were going softly until mr. Rui "Trovatore" Pires disappeared... Well, not really, I still can send emails and meet him online on MSN sometimes, but he simply don't answer me. It makes me think it's another case of UFO abduction, substitution or body incorporation.

In general, most of the people who became excited and offered their help for the project just give up too early. Trovatore was an exception, in fact he was the only who keep on it for long enough 'til the game was almost complete.

I have the source code and it looks like it's 90% finished, with all rooms, sound and graphics nicely fited. But I have no clue of what to do with that (I don't know how to programming AGS). I realise that in order to have this game complete I also have to became the programer, and it's something I won't do.

It's sadly, but I have to consider the project over. I feel lackluster just to think about start all over again, posting "need help -  programming ags" after months of hard job.

For who cares about the scattered rubbish of Brass Tacks, here's two beta-videos.

Hi there;

We're an indie game developer's team and we're developing our second game. THE SPOILER was our first release, a point-and-click game of investigation & courtroom adventure, with a well crafted and deep plot. It's ready for download (360MB) for free on our website for two months now, and we got pretty good replies (unfortunatelly, the game is in portuguese only, but we have plans to translate it).

So we're developing a new adventure point-and-click game called BRASS TACKS, here is a very short description:

You're a guy called Albert Swick who was invited for an old partner's house. You blow up the partnership a long time ago 'cos you realise this guy is trouble. Anyway, he called you and he said you'll get paid, so you're curious about it and accepted to meet him.

You learn that he stole a large amount of money during the last few years from his boss (The Lobster) and mr. lobster's attourney found it all, blackmailed your ex-partner and gave him an ultimatum for the next day at morning. So, he want you to kill the attourney.

Of course, you won't to mess with The Lobster mob so you pass away the offer, and when you're ready to leave his house, your ex-partner used a last resort: an horrible mistake from your past.

You both have a quarrel and it's ended with your not so good friend falling down the stairs and broking his neck. And the game begins...

Basically you have to escape from this situation avoiding any chances to get caught or end in the jail. You can try to make the body disappear but first you have to clean the "crime scene", or you can make it looks like an ordinary robbery but first you have to clean any references of yourself on the house. There's a lot of details that will make everything more exciting, like unpredicable visits, annoying neighbours and stuffs, secrets and stories that you will find on his house.

So, any cooperation on this project, any kind of ideas or help in programming will be great (we will try to make it with Adventure Game Studio, and we don't know how to use it yet).

But the must important think we are searching for is the voices of the characters. We want to make it in english with options for subtitles for as many languages we can (english, portuguese, spanish, french, ...) I think some british accents or south US would be great! And a woman voice too...

This game will be TOTALLY FREE and everyone inside this project can promote, share or publish this game as yours (you can put it in media, promo cds, etc, for any purpose - you'll have total right on it). And any collaborators will have his name(s) on the credits and promote your logo, your business of anything you want in the open or ending credits, as well on the website, release and manual of the game.

We already developed the scenarios and characters, 80% of the storyline and some music. For the graphic creation we are using: Poser 6, 3DHA, Flash 8 and PSP. We published part of the introduction movie for the game here:
