haha that's great!

It's been three days, guys. Surely someone is civilized enough to appreciate and recreate the fine art of senseless violence in video games?

I hate it when stuff like this happen >:(s. All the channels want to cover this news all freaking day long. I can' watch my TV programs that I like. I missed one of my soap operas and now I'm missing the Maury show. Damn it!

These god damn school shooters should be more considerate.

I don't think we should focus on the fact that guns are easy to obtain, but why the fellow felt inclined to do what he did.

I think the closest they got to figuring out a motive was that he suspected his girlfriend for having an affair. Maybe this was a case similar to the one of Mattias Flink in Sweden, 1994.

[What is a Photoshop Phunday?]

What is a Photoshop Phunday? (copied and pasted from previous thread)

Photoshopping isn't drawing a completely new image -- It's editing images to create a new image, such as editing one image or combining several images. The contest usually lasts for a fortnight. Also, you don't have to specifically use Photoshop -- Paint Shop Pro, MSPaint, or any other programs can be used, even Mario Paint.

Let's face it. Adventure games suck. You know why? There's hardly any violence performed by the player! If there finally is any, it's in the form of a cutscene, and usually pretty tame. Bleugh! Therefore,

Make adventure games cool... with violence!

You can do this by mixing them with movies, games or anything that contains blood, violence, weapons or explosions. I wipped up this quick example to show what I mean:



Criteria:
*Must contain something from an adventure/puzzle game
*Must be violent in one way or another

Let's roll!

Wow, I'm honored. I would've guessed zabnat or Da_Elf. New thread in the making.

I kinda cheated. Didn't care much for 'The Ring 2'. 'Corpse Bride' was a splendid piece of puppet animation, though.

Hi again. The game has gone through its first stage of testing, and is growing bigger and more stable as we type. For everyone who's interested in the development in detail, I suggest going here:

I'll update whenever there's a major/minor development or some screenshot/media I want to share. Sorry for the extra wait.

I'd go with what markbilly said. You can get some decent results from that method:

These were rushed, but with some extra effort it might turn out better. Nice job so far, anyhow.

Er...

It's more like... 300 MB. 160MB zipped.

Somewhere around "Who Killed Kenny Rogers" and "A Friend Indeed". Perhaps slightly shorter.

...right.

That said, it looks terrific, and everything people have said before. I just wanted to put these two quotations side by side and see what they looked like.

Well you know. With the cutscenes, voices, music and the game itself added up, it gets quite large. I hope this won't be a major problem for most of you.

[Song]

Song: The Dust Storm, by Those Poor Bastards

Comment: One of the best Death Gothic Country songs I've heard in a while. It really brought me back to the beauty of depressing country music. I was pleased to find out the rest of their songs were pretty miserable too.

How I discovered it: I googled for a picture, and ended up on someones MySpace. That someones MySpace was playing this song.

Fun Fact: Yes, it's supposed to sound like a 78" record.

I love the concept of this, and I'm really looking forward to autumn 2007 now. The screenies were a bit on the small side, though.

[BETA testers:]

BETA testers:

If I accepted you as a BETA tester, and you still haven't got a PM from me; Send me a PM now. 

I'd rather see more reviews without the score system. The review itself should tell the reader what the game is worth, not a random number between 0 and 10.

I got the original boxed version so I guess I got some serious street cred here.

Grim Fandango is an excellent example on how adventure games should be made.

I'm not sure if I misunderstood, are you saying is shorter than "A Friend Indeed?"  :o

Please say no xD  :'( 

It's been a while since I played it, but I would say it's about the same length, yes. I don't think it's shorter.

@Hillbilly
Have you any games to compare this with in size?

Somewhere around "Who Killed Kenny Rogers" and "A Friend Indeed". Perhaps slightly shorter.

ps2: I realy love your graphics! It brings me back to the DOTT, Sam & Max and Full Throttle days  :'(

Wow, thanks. That's a major compliment, seeing how those were my childhood favorites too.

Wowzas! This looks very nice. I laugh at the character, hes funny looking. 

So close to completion. How many MB will it be? I hope its under 30 since my IP always disconnects me after 4 hours of being connected and I have a regular modem.

No, sorry. It's more like... 300 MB. 160MB zipped. I could make it a torrent though, so you can just continue downloading after a reconnect.

Why did you quote me and typed this in?

I killed the last known bug today. The voice actor issue is also solved.

Not long left...
