Happy holidays from Blue Cup Tools!

Here's Episode 125!

This is incredibly sad news.

I met Progz at Mittens 2012, and he was the voice of the old prospector in Ben Jordan 2. He was always very passionate about his work; we've lost a talented guy.

RIP Shane

A little bump to let you all know that a special Gamescom demo is now available to download on the Rosewater Steam page! It'll only be available until August 30th, so don't delay!

People seem to enjoy my door animations, so here are a couple of new ones:

Episode 124!

Yeah, we're still alive.

This looks amazing! Always nice to see more high resolution AGS projects.

Thanks for the update!

The Steam page is live! Wishlist it now!

Also, there's a teaser trailer:

Thank you

The issue is only with playback, the rest of the functionality should work with 3.5. I believe I'll have a solution within a few weeks, I'll do my best to speed things up.

Great, thanks!

Hello! Any updates on this? I've upgraded my most recent project to AGS 3.5 and have also been having the playback error.

Rosewater has a poster, courtesy of the amazingly talented Ivan Ulyanov:

Some obstacles in Rosewater will have multiple solutions. For example, you might want to help this poor fellow out by solving some puzzles, in exchange for him letting you into that building.

Or, you could just punch his lights out.



But be careful: violent actions have their consequences.

Here's a couple of new screens I've posted on Twitter:

Hey hey, it's Episode 123!

Revisiting basic knowledge that's easy to forget, as well as way too much information about kitsch artist Jeff Koons.

Hurray for western point-and-clicks! The art is amazing. Question: Do I have to stay on the good side of the law?

Thanks! And no, you can be bad if you want. Just prepare to face the consequences

The Story:
It's been several years since Harley Leger left New Bretagne and headed west, hoping to leave the past behind and make her way as a freelance writer. After arriving in the sleepy border town of Rosewater, a seemingly trivial assignment for the local paper leads to the hunt for a missing man's fortune—and the story of the century.

Harley and her ragtag posse embark on a harrowing journey across Western Vespuccia, facing bandits, rebels, ruthless oil barons, and many more obstacles on their quest for fame and riches.

Features:
- A thrilling treasure hunt with 5 travel companions. How you treat and interact with them affects the story.
- Traditional adventure game puzzles (i.e. inventory-based) some with more than one solution.
- Fully rotoscoped animations, including cinematic closeups.
- High resolution 1280x720 graphics (yes, that's 720p!)
- Full music score and voice acting.

Release: 2024

Saw this and played through it this morning. Nice work! Great to see other developers embrace rotoscoping, and I was extra impressed by the sheer amount of sub-pixel animation that went into it.

The story was cool, although I have to admit:

Spoiler

The mustache disguise puzzle was a bit silly and tonally inconsistent in an otherwise serious game. It wasn't so much the concept of disguising yourself with a mustache, but the execution of it. If the receptionist hadn't been looking at you the whole time, or Richard hadn't immediately called and explained to Judy that he had used a disguise to sneak past the receptionist while she was still in earshot, it might not have sparked my nerd-rage. Then again, the receptionist didn't come off as the sharpest knife in the drawer

Again, great work!
