Thanks for the nice comments everyone!

I hope you're selling this game, because if you did, I would instantly buy it.

Thanks, but free is also nice.

Haven't posted a good update in awhile.

Fizzii has made a lovely poster for the game here:



Some progress I can report on somewhat accurately:

Art is at 95% and the voice pack at 80%. Currently, we're finishing up the last chapter.

And, just for fun, a sample from the combat system:


Lots of giants in the game. This one is of the dumb/strong type.

Good luck!

Thanks for the nice comments.

Edited to add:  Oh brother.  I think I was delirious from lack of sleep when I wrote this post.  I'm sorry I was so long-winded, sheesh...  :/

No worries. I think we're going to give the voice thing a go early on, so there's little delay in a release. I hope it works out.

I hope that "soon" is sooner than soon..!

We're getting there.  I can report on the art, which is over 90% done!

Here's our first trailer for the game. Hope you enjoy. Thanks to Azure for the voice talent.

No.  While that word had the prerequisite for one of the words I could have used instead of failures

So, for example, "It starts with the meeting of two ferrets." wouldn't work? The "F" and "A" is the key to the first line?

My guess:

Spoiler

Art?

[close]

A cursory glance of the GiP and CG boards makes it pretty obvious. For shame.

I think I've figured it out as well.   

Ahh, left click and hold for a second. Sometimes I wouldn't get the "Use Item on X" message, but moving the mouse around the the screen a bit fixed that. A short but fun game, congrats!

Looks very cute! I'm not sure why, but all I can do is walk around. Right clicking causes a red outlined box to appear in the upper left corner. I suppose a GUI is supposed to pop up? Am I missing something blatantly obvious?

Hey, looking forward to trying that demo. Good luck!

Congrats on the fundraising and I'll be sure to buy this! Also, the demo was very fun!

Thanks again! The whole Dark Elf (Svartalf) realm is a topsy-turvey place. Glad the MC Escher influence was noticed, but it's not really any perspective illusions. His work was too hard to emulate.

So...I'm going to be a total arse and ask the question you hate most...when do you estimate "soon" release to be?

Oops, did I say soon? Well, I can sort of make an estimate. I expect the art/animations to be done around the end of the year, then there's the rest of the coding, followed by testing. So... 2013 sometime? Maybe Radiant has a different idea since he's released a large game in the past.

So, the game is going to be released soon?

Sorry, bad wording. I meant to say that I'm trying not to release any more screenshots, as in, to not spoil the game until it's done. My bad!

Thanks everyone!

@Blake00: Great site as usual. Thanks again for the page!

@deltamatrix: Thanks! Unfortunate about Hero6 for sure. Wish I could've helped more.

A quick update:

Things are still moving along quite quickly. Fizzii (ATOTK, KQ3 Remake, SQ2 Remake) has joined the team and is helping with quite a bit of art work (see new Heroine portrait on first page).

For now, one last preview before the release:

Not to be a dick, but what animations?

I meant the various lighting effects/things moving about. I guess those are not technically animations if they're just one sprite.

Icey, dude, well done! I think you found your calling. Graphics and animations are very nice and I actually got immersed in the story. Certainly your best work to date.

Comments:

-Might be time to consider trying some "up" and "down" walkcycles.
-Is a "pub" something different in Final Fantasy? I've never played a single one. They seem the equivalent to Starbucks.
-I was half expecting Tifa to whip out some kind of giant unwieldy sword at that dance.

That looks like a winner. Much more detailed and better overall.

Guess: Orko?



Question: What decade did/does the cartoon air?

I'd be more impressed if Al would do a new game rather than a carbon copy of the first Larry with improved graphics.

I agree, this will be the third version of Larry 1. 

I like the latest line art version myself. Perhaps each object could use three colors as a minimum. Kind of like this:

I'm not sure about the glowing rocks, but perhaps just a thin light green line on the east face of the rock? That is, assuming the water is radioactive.
