Millennium 2.2 (also known as Millenium: Return To Earth).

Thx a lot Stupot+!
Twine is a great open source tool, really.
Complete and flexible.
You can "CSS" everything and add easily some javascript.
We build our own "format" and we use Ionic/Cordova for the hybrid mobile part.

Mind, I'm the writer (and CSSer).
Aniki is the coder and project leader.

I wrote almost 30k words and most of the code is done (but it's still a long road).
On month ago (roughly), we published a closed alpha demo (only in french) on Apple and Google stores.
Now we are working on feedbacks.
Then we'll finish the story and code.

The game should be ready early (first quarter) 2017 (first on iOS and Android).

Hi AGSers!

I would like to introduce you my current (non AGS) project with Aniki: Somewhere.

Somewhere, a whistleblower.
Somewhere, a reporter.
Everywhere, global dangers:
Mass surveillance.
Lobbies.
Biotechnologies.
Break the scandal.
Your path. Your choice. Your story.†‹

Somewhere is a branching interactive fiction game for mobile.

Communicate in real time with Cat, a journalist contacted by a whistleblower who leaked classified informations from an huge agribusiness company.

Be wise, your choices really matter: Cat is in danger and a world class food scandal is pending...

Features:

- Real time gameplay (follow notifications or answer later when you want)
- Random events
- Up to 4 different choices
- Several endings
- Type directly an answer to a riddle
- Internet search to find the right answer
- Dynamic sound ambiance
- Go back and change your choice

Currently, it looks like this (but it will change a bit):

If you wonder about a similar game, Lifeline is the most relevant.

If you don't know that game, think about a gamebook/CYOA.

Mind, our website is partly emulating the gameplay, so you'll have a clearer idea here:

I should/could talk about the tech side and the project progress but I feel that post is already too long.

Of course, feel free to ask any question, I'll be glad to answer.

Cya and take care,

Atavisleaks

Dune?

Yes.
(I know there are some Dune's fans like me here, so those two first tricky screenshots)

Dune?

Yes.

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure?

Nope.

Ok, I guess this time it will be too obvious, but nevermind:

KGB?

Nope, but it's partly an adventure game.

Worms?

Nope.
It's an Amiga/DOS game from 1992 with a famous name.

Tempted to say something like Defender or Oids...

Smart guesses but wrong.
Genre is totally different.

Looney Tunes? Road Runners?

It could make sense, but you are far from it.
I'll wait for some more answers then, if no one find, I'll post a more relevant screenshot or hints, as you wish.
You all know that cult game.
I'm sure someone can find.

Desert Strike?

Nope.
Here is another screenshot:

Missile Command?

Nope.
One more try and I post another screenshot.

What about this?

EARTHRISE

Space Quest?

Altered Destiny?

Yes!

Still don't see how PNC relates to that but that's probably just me being thick. In any case, yes, it's MGS3

I even didn't notice it was 3D lol
(the crop looks a bit blurry to me)
Well, I'm lucky!

What about this?
(I don't think it's hard, but who knows)

Mandle: nope, but Atavismus is on to something Tho I dunno what he means by PNC

Point'n'click
Well, that was a joke because of the "Crocodile Cap" in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.

Metal Gear PNC edition?

[Fernandez]

Ohhhhh...I know that one:

Ferdinez Must DIe!!!

I remember buying it because I took a fake sick day off of work just because I wanted to play a new game and it was the only one at the local computer store (which is where you bought your games back then in Australia) that looked entertaining...

I think it cost about $25 at the time... but could be mistaken...

We had fun playing this game with a friend because in our Middle School a boring asshole's name was "Fernandes". ^^
Mind, it's "Fernandez Must Die" but it's still your turn.
Well done Mandle!
