What a coincidence! Just yesterday I looked up an old article where I mentioned your game and wondered what had become of it. Great news!

Interesting. I occasionally add some footage or a new trailer to YouTube.

The game's all there and I can play it from beginning to end now. Needs a lot of polish still.

Hello all,

I first posted about my game a LONG time ago. I've been tinkering with it off and on and it's getting closer to completion. The link will take you to a trailer for the game.

The game is called Paradise Falls and it's adventure game about a man searching for his daughter in a flooded town. He's haunted by intrusive thoughts, unsure whether the monsters are real or if HE is the real demon.

Thanks

This looks great! Cool premise. Nice work!

Thanks!

Can never have too many horror games, and this one looks outstanding! Best of luck with the development

Thank you. Just need to remember to back up from now on.

Thank you for your kind words and for watching the video. I'll add them to the original post if and when I make some more.

Paradise Falls

The Story:

Dennis is becoming a monster, or at least that's what he thinks. He has unwanted visions of harming those around him. On a trip to Paradise Falls, his daughter goes missing and is later found dead. He is being tormented by a girl in while and is convinced that his daughter is still alive and waiting for him in Paradise Falls. 5 years later he goes in search of her only to discover the town is full of demons. But is the real demon inside him?

Development Progress:

Story: 30%
Scripting: 30%
Graphics: 40%
Sound/Music: 10%

Expected completion date: January 2022

Some screenshots:

I like the art of the game itself but there's a serious graphics clash in the HUD.

Look at those pixel icons next to the smooth-unrasterized buttons.

Fair point. The HUD isn't finished yet and those are place holder sprites that I didn't draw. But I take your point about the contrast. I watched a tutorial on how to do shiny so I did shiny . Would be an easy fix if it's a distraction.

Last Contact: Planet of the Blue Balls is a traditional point and click adventure game set in the never ending wonders of outer space and also Workington, Cumbria. It's my second project and it is currently in the very, very early stages of development. Like my last game Ace King http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/2081/, it's very much a hobby project. Thank you to those who played my previous game and left feedback. It was very useful.


Story

The Blue Balls are the only entities in the Universe to have mastered interstellar travel. Dave and Geoff, underlings in the Blue Ball culture, are tasked by High Command to find true intelligent life and bring them back to their home world for further study and breeding. The only problem is they have taken a wrong turn and ended up on Earth. With scans showing a distinct lack of intelligence, they choose to abduct whatever they can find and educate them in the ways of the Universe on the way.

Meanwhile Matty, a budding rock star stuck working for his politician uncle, is just looking to get off work and go and play with his band. His Uncle, Dominic Parp, is in talks with a dissenting member of his cabinet over the future of the party. All three are abducted and taken on an galactic adventure THAT'S OUT OF THIS WORLD...ahem.

What damage could a couple of human politicians and a dumb teenager do on an alien planet anyway?

Features

It's a very traditional point and click adventure with a focus on story and puzzles.
Political satire.
Humour (If you like low brow innuendo)


In terms of development I'd say it was about 15% to 20% finished. As you can see there's quite a lot of place holder stuff and some of the characters aren't drawn yet.

I'd be curious to know what people think and I enjoy feedback, suggestions and critique as a way of improving what I'm doing.

Some very nice art work here.

Lovely art style. Look forward to giving it shot.

I was eating foam banana sweets while playing this. I think I had the ultimate experience with the game.

Fun.

I honestly thought no one would play this, let alone finish it so I'm thrilled. Mandle, yes I've been at this for a couple of years. I'd say the first six months or so was written off and I pretty much started again. And as I felt like I was improving with the art or scripting I would go back and redo whole segments.

The source code contains so many rooms/puzzles you won't see in the game because they were redone or not used. I might post some of the pictures of the early attempts on here.

The art style is really nice. Very distinctive. The clouds remind me of curse of monkey island.

I like the story concept too. Knobs at night.

Really very nice. The changes you've made are good.

I'm no artist so i may be talking nonsense but maybe the ground around the flame should be a little more lit and flickering.

I knew i'd overdone it on the genital references!

Reading this has absolutely made my day. Thanks for your feedback. I agree with all the points you made. If I do another project (I told myself I wouldn't, but I've already been drawing backgrounds) I'll try improve those ares. Can you recall where in the game

Dan's atired changed

I would like to fix that.

Incidentally Danny Charlton is a real professional poker player and a friend of mine.

Well this came from out of left field!

Congratz on your first post and first released game...Way to hit the ground running!

Can't wait to try it out!

Thanks! Been playing the games and lurking on the forum for a bit. Got inspired after watching yahtzee's ego reviews on YouTube.

I look forward to actually playing more ags games now this is out of way.

Good point. Thanks. I've added it on.

Hello everyone. This is my first post on this forum - and my first finished game.

Here is a brief description:

Danny Charlton wants to be a poker star. The only problem is he doesn't have a clue how to play the game. Worse still, he hasn't got the heart to learn...

In Ace King, a traditional point-and-click adventure game in the style of the later Leisure Suit Larry titles, you play as Danny, as he receives an invitation to play in the infamous Mann Steak tournament at the Double Down casino in Las Vegas.

But, as his fellow competitors start to go missing, Danny soon discovers that it's going to take more than just a good hand to achieve victory.

As I said, I have enjoyed playing AGS games, and I have always been a big fan of point-and-click adventure games. Ace King is traditional point-and-click game, inspired by the Leisure Suit Larry series. I have been learning AGS as I went along, so I suspect there may be the odd bug in the game. I have included my email address in the link if anyone is inclined to let me know. 

The game contains some bad language and mild violence.

Thanks
