Love the graphic shots Eggie

Please complete the game by hook or by crook

[keywords]

Welcome on-board HanaIndiana,

I'm sure you'll come up with something great....

Like the text idea Mandle...

Nice to see a few entries this month... I do hope everyone completes their game on time...

Meanwhile, my entry is forging ahead despite having lost a few days and having to reconstruct it after deciding that adding videos from many people was too much to expect in such a short space of time but hope that what I have is sufficient enough to at least get a few plays...

Game is based on entering keyword(s) into a search box. Certain words are keywords that will lead to progressing forward in the game. Keywords can be from what you hear from suspects when you talk to them relating to your keywords.  And just to help you there is a point in the game where you produce Hugo, your pet rat. Hugo can sniff out a big, fat lie....

Watch out you don't fall into a red herring

Was it a ghost that murdered Dorothy Moore? You'll have to play and find out for yourself

Looks intriguing mate

Updated screenshot


Due to time restraints I will not be able to include the videos I would have liked so I have opted for just voices. I am upset about this but hopefully will include all videos in a deluxe game later this year...

Please forgive me

Mandle.. if you read the post properly it is 'in production'... things change.. like the color scheme.. etc

[EDIT: .mp4 plays Ok at 5.17mbs]

Hi

I have a video file which plays but it is quite sluggish (slow, stutter) with  a kind of echo.

its is 6.86mbs.

game is 1024 x 768. 32 bit. 3d9

it's .ogv in the compiled Game folder..

Code: ags

 PlayVideo("pierre_death.ogv",0, 0)

Any suggestions for better video play?

EDIT: .mp4 plays Ok at 5.17mbs

EDIT EDIT: Since the widescreen format doesn't add much, I changed the video resolution from 1280x720 to 640x480.
The .ogv now works perfect.

That's because they may not be under that catargory selection..

Following some inquiries about the video part roles I may be able to fulfill this vital part of the game.

Offers for video part roles welcomed.

UPDATED Screenshot in production:

all nationalities now welcome...

Talking of video's

AGS can use MP4... how does that compare to using .ogv, Khris?

Hi Creamy,

well, they will all need to be white English and of the ages required for the part.

Not all kin look alike

It's not like its a Big £ production..

Edit.. no longer applicable..

Hi TheFrighther

as they will only show the head I don't think we need worry about costumes etc etc.

And yes, they must include voice..

I'v been deep in thought and....

Thought I would try something different (he who dares )

Title:  Finger of suspicion.

An investigative/Drama, Historical, Old house... Think of 'Her Story' as this game is based on searching by keywords from statements said to further the investigation.

After a dinner party at Fairfax Manor, socialite Dorothy Moore had been found dead. The police have sent you to investigate as they can't fathom out her unexpected death.

Lord and Lady Fairfax say it must have been the ghost of Fairfax Manor that had murdered Dorothy Moore by scaring her to death.

Was it really a ghost that killed Dorothy Moore?

You must use all your detective instincts and deductive skills to find out if it was murder by a  ghost or by a living person by seeking out clues.

Use your Investigative Search facility to delve deeper into clues you discover/hear that will help solve this mysterious death.

Your pet rat, Hugo will squeak if he hears a lie.

This game will be very GUI based and will use real life videos (If I can get the people to make them.)

There is to be 9 characters:
* Lord Fairfax
* Lady Fairfax
* Simon Fairfax (Son)
* Jeeves the Butler
* The Cook
* The Gardener
* Pierre a dinner guest
* Pierres wife a dinner guest
* Major Smith a dinner guest

Now i just have to make it

Fallen Hero

Few issues resolved:

Idle view behavior..
