I confess that I am pleasantly surprised.
This is a beautiful and very emotionally performed song - well done!

         

Did you make it for a game?
Will you present more of your songs to us?
Well, I would love to hear more.

These new pictures are fabulous - I am really jealous about your drawing-skills!


And because you are working on such a high level, please allow me to do a little nitpicking: 

Amanda's hair is coming through the cap, but regardless of this, also this new models portrait looks very impressive.
In the pic of her body you need to correct minimum one of the feet (wearing the high-heels, you can't let them both at the same time in position, like if she wears sneakers). So therefore she now won't be able to stand on the ground. 

Also the new pics of Nathan look awesome to me.
In the pic of his body the only little thing, which is a bit irritating to me, are his feet. It maybe because of the (not visible) ground, but his feet seem not to stay on the ground and that gives me a feeling, like he is hanging somewhere.


I am eagerly waiting for the trailer, you promised to come up with to watch "my" Nathan in motion 

.... A question for you or anyone else who can help: Is there any way to get notified about new all posts in a thread (this one, for example), and not just replies to what I posted? I'm not familiar with the mechanics of this forum yet..

If you are logged in, scroll up to the top of this site. There you can click at "Notify of replies".
Be sure, you set the right settings in your profile (look over there and go to "Notifications and E mail" to find more).

I think this will give you, what you want...

# entry:

Spoiler

-  I found Jack in the eyes of Darcy â€" cool work!

-  Darcy is still over the path from the beginning and the group (when leaving), too: http://www.bildermonster24.de/images/477_9h2d_path.png


-  Uuuupps â€" a second Gordy is laying around in front of the house!?

[close]

# hour 1:

Spoiler

(„second Gordy“ is still there)

-  I think, Jack is too small in the scene right of the house: http://www.bildermonster24.de/images/759_9h2d_jack.png

[close]

# hour 2:

Spoiler

(„second Gordy“ is still there)

-  No reaction when using paint, axe or shears on the cars and the sign.

[close]

# hour 4:

Spoiler

(„second Gordy“ is still there)

-  I think, Sal is also too small in the scene right of the house (same size, as Jack)

[close]

# hour 5:

Spoiler

-  I let Astrid have a look in th cupboard before going upstairs. When she has to get the tuna for Darcy, she won't get out straight away. You need to look again in the cupboard before it is possible (like mkennedy said). This little prob could be solved by a refusal of Astrid, if the gamer wants  to go to the kitchen from the dining room (like: „The stairs are much more tempting to me right now!“)

(„second Gordy“ is still there)

-  A part of the right shoe of Jen is still transparent: http://www.bildermonster24.de/images/659_9h2d_shoe.png

[close]

# hour 6:

Spoiler

-  At the beginning looking at desk, couch, chair, telescope â€" response missing.

-  Looking and using cupboard without any reaction.

(now „second Gordy“ changes in our Gordy)

- Railing is still wrong: http://www.bildermonster24.de/images/211_9h2d_railing.png

-  If Jack is running away after using the flashlight on Gordy he cant interact with Astrid or Darcy in the (dark) main hall and is unable to go back to Gordy, but he will go the way to the mini-game.

[close]

# mini-game:

Spoiler

Didn't you mention to make it harder? It is still possible to pass without using any item on the wolf. (only wondering about that)

[close]

Edit:
I had to go on (no chance for sleeping)

I started the game to load from the main site, but not one of my actual savegames were visible. Only by using the taskbar to load, all savegames of this version appeared (and worked)!?

# hour 7:

Spoiler

-  Responses of gps are the same way as mentioned before.

-  Talking to Belucci (with ready badge in inventory and knowing, that it looks like a badge and knowing why he could be arrested):  „... I will arrest you ...Do you have a badge ... No...“ ("No" is wrong, because in this case, Jack has it and want's to use it)

-  Talking to Astrid to tell her about Sal, Jack is looking in direction to the door.

[close]

# hour 8:

Spoiler

-  If you try to go back in the ceremony-room bofore you gave both items to Darcy, Jack now refuses, but the game freezes

[close]

# hour 9:

Spoiler

-  made it to the good, the undecided and the evil ending (and one more to go, but too tired now)

[close]

["Gotcha!"]

And however long it takes to get there, I guarantee there'll be part 4 coming up!

"Gotcha!"

... I've got a secondary project in mind!

...Tabata will be furious, but this isn't Technobabylon I'm doing it for at the moment ...

                         
Should I send you lots of disguised messages about what your first priority is!?

    *whispering ,,trust me"*      priority: part 4, part 4, ...     *whispering ,,trust me"*

Do I need a car-washing mini-game in this?

                     

[of course]

My first thought was about those waitresses on rollerblades, but the blades are missing.

Second one goes to a whore, but the pouch is missing. As a typical sign they swing it while going along the street, always in competitors to their hips.

So I ended up with a teenie, who's not quite knowing how to dress in a sexy way (like first try from young girls with makeup). They often fail and it ends in looking like a whore, but that's no job.

... but the girl TheRoger came up with fits more to it - of course he was only remembering it because of this wonderful car      - so I would believe it to be a car-washing-girl

First I started the version from 250411;18:23 by stepping in ...

# hour 6:

Spoiler

...and when Jack goes back in the bathroom (using the mirror) the same wrong reaction comes up

[close]

For that reason I quit and started all over from the beginning in the normal way, to get „real errors“:

# hour 3:

Spoiler

-  The ghost-hunter isn't changing his looking-direktion via the mirror, when looking or using it. (first time I mentioned it, he was looking to the left â€" this has changed, but now you watch his rear after entering).

[close]

# hour 5:

Spoiler

-  The right shoe of Jen still has this transparent spot.

[close]

# hour 6:

Spoiler

-  The telescope shows no reaction, not by looking at it and no using possible. - (I couldn't use it with Astrid or the ghost-hunter, too. But it could be used in one of the earlier versions, couldn't it? It's like the missing second pic in the dining room I thought to remember ... - Did you change it intentionally? If so - everything is okay - if not ...)

-  If Jack is going back in the bathroom after talking to Astrid, he refuses to use the stairs and you have to repeat the same talking again for to make him using the stairs.

-  Standing on the first step, the railway is still on the wrong side of Jack (But maybe you corrected this in the next version?)

-  I had to lol, when doing the „dating-talk“ with Astrid â€" and had to explain my reaction to my husband, who seemed to be worried about my condition  

-  When Jack goes after Geordy the flashlight starved and on my way to the mini-game Jack uses it again.

[close]

# hour 7:

Spoiler

-  Jack can get the flashlight again now.

-  Looking on the gps (while still being in the house) shows up the correct sentence, but also the one for being in the cave already. Outside you get the correct direction, but also the sentence, when he is in the cave already.

-  Using the sheet-door chrashes the game in 'room20.asc',line6: SetBackgrondFrame number specified. (I'm not sure which version mkennedey used, so I notice it for this one)

-  â€žI had it in my head it I didn't get all the way to Seattle than something god awful was going to happen to me.“ Is this the correct sentence as meant to be? It makes me reading it several times but only makes sence with some little changings for me.  
-  A little later: „Leave me along, Jack.“ (alone)
-  Talking to Belucci: „ Unless your a police officer, I;m going to have to ask you to leave.“ (... you're ... , I'm ....)
(You know about my english  8) so I only mention "my suspects" and you decide).

-  Even if Jack has the badge, he answers, that he hasn't.

-  No response when looking or using the cars.

-  Every time you leave the scene in front of the house, the same text appears (about the crappy source of light) â€" normaly it wouldn't interfere, but if you are searching everywhere for a solution ...you will have to read this a very lot of times)

-  Talking to Astrid gives no reaction (there should be something, even if it will be a short "Not now!" or something like it.

[close]

Until now I could not figure out, how to read the signs on the lock/gate, which are suddenly too small in this version (but that is real-gamers-life) - Hopefully I don't need something else from the sheet for it - but I wanted to report, what I have so far - and go on with searching for a solution.



Edit:
A bit more about version from 250411;18:23

Okay, I am guilty!
I couldn't stand it any longer and cheated to open the lock.

I think, that this whould be possibly done from gamers, too. So I'm able to tell you a bit more about
# hour 8:

Spoiler

-  Jack: „If I'm going to die tonight, I'm going to go down swinging.“ (singing)
-  Darcey: „... and then well all go to the cave.“ (we'll)
-  using bed „There's nothing on the bed, under the it, tucked into the sheeds, or under the pillow.“  ( ..., under it, ...)

-  talking to Astrid and looking on the cupboard in the kitchen gives no reaction (descriptions of couch, desk, ... in the main-room are gone)

-  giving the lighter to Darcy and using the wood-cleaner on the table in the dining-room should give a reaction

-  Jack now can get the ornament and the salt-shaker again.

-  Still searching for Darcys candle I went back in the cave and entered the ceremony-place â€" What do you think ... a lit candel is already placed there and I got the text, that Jack leds everyone here ... â€" So that can't be correct!?

hour 9:
-  Is Jack really asked, if he is a god, or if he is good? (didn't quite understand this little piece)
-  â€ž... humans have the gift of freewill ...“ and later „... a creature of freewill ...“ (free will)  

[close]

... and this way I saw a wonderful hour 9 (one of possibly different ones I will have to try).

Okay - since I'm not able to talk to her (I tried) I might start it over, beginning with hour 6.

Everything should be fine then.

... but this will have to wait until tomorrow after work ...
Sorry, but otherwise tomorrow morning they won't belive me, that I really have been on holiday  

C U
Tabata

Edit:
Oh, an interesting edit while I was typing! - Nooo, no, no, I'm not lurking - I must be strong!
I already was on the right way, that's enough for me to know right now - but thanks for the chance! 

started the new version directly by stepping in ...

# hour 7:

Spoiler

- Darcy now is sitting on the backrest of the chair.

- Something is a bit wired in the first room. I can't really put my finger on it. It seems to me, that Jack/Astrid are shrunk (they are not a lot taller, than the shorter bed-post) or maybe the bed is too high/tall?  EDIT: I found it by watching the older one - it's because of Darcy - she is bigger now (and hovering) - that makes the others seem to shrink.

- The ghost of Jen is in her room again, hovering over the bed.

- Jack going in the bathroom downstairs (using the mirror) will bring up the effect for the ghost-hunter again (including the map on the desk). Maybe that's the reason for the second picture missing (left side of the bathroom-door)?

- The coffe-maker in the kitchen has gone.

- In the main-hall a lot of responses are gone (broken glass, chair, desk, telescope)

- Just a suggestion: Using the gps-icon on jack should have the same effect, than looking at it in the inventory.

- Response missing:  looking at gps in cave, touching/using Belucci, using lighter on bible, using wood cleaner on lighter/bible.

- Going back into the house the lights are off (the „gps-light“ is still in use but no wondering from Jack about it) and up in the room again there is no reaction when talking to Astrid and Gordy (looking at Gordy gives the response for the bed).

-Standing on the first stage of the stairs shows the railing on the wrong side of Jack.

[close]

To go on I need a hint about how to solve the lock-code. I'm stuck there, because I couldn't find a way to read the bible, ask someone else about it or study something else for to get it.

Still have to learn a veeery lot, to get even near to what I want, but just for the fun of it:


Entry 1:             

                          

             ... thinking about the eye, called as the window to the soul. But even for this 



Entry 2:             

                          

             ... thinking about a passage for something to eat for
(I don't like the other end so much, but maybe there is a chance to get a pinkish „result“ over there, too!? - Naaaah - I won't even try!)

here we go:

# entry:
I like the changings here and also the new icons in the taskbar give the right „feeling“.

# hour 1:

Spoiler

Darcy is standing in the air and when the group leaves they are all going up to this level and in the wood Darcy seems to have no shoes.

[close]

# hour 3:

Spoiler

Ghosthunter in the bathroom is watching in the wrong direction (even when using look-icon at mirror).

[close]

# mini-game:

Spoiler

Once I produced an error right at the beginning... in room25.asc, line33- “Object.SetPosition: cannot set position while object is moving“ 

[close]

# hour 7:

Spoiler

- The window in the main-hall isn't broken anymore.
- Half of Darcy is sitting beside the chair.
- Error: In front of the sheet looking at the gps and then using walking-cursor to the right side of the screen - „Unable to create local script:Runtime error: unresolved import 'aLightRain' “ I tried it about ten times (with and without gps using) and got same crash every time, the new scene should load.

[close]

So sorry, but there is no chance for me to reach the cave and go on with testing.

[I HATE THIS GAME ...]

I HATE THIS GAME ... because it get's me infected. 
I want to go on with it for to know, how (and if) Regis will solve his problem and now, knowing more about Latha I am between two chairs. Who is my favorite? Who shall succeed? Will we see Jinsil and Guy again? Oh man, I'm in such a big trouble! So I need to know more and want to go on  ... NOW ... but I will have to be patient

I LOVE THIS GAME ...  because it is solid in work, handmade with heart, following a thrilling story and has intersting dialogs and possibilities (loved "breaking the fourth wall" when using the 00 several times) and cool puzzles. Also the mini-games are fitting very well and (good luck for me) all of those have been the easier variants and could be done by a little try. (I once played the hard-core variant of the second puzzle and got very frustrated, because if you don't know the rule behind it, you never ever win it.) The music is fitting very well and using mini-games this time makes it a bit different to the other parts.

A VERY WELL DONE GAME â€" CONGRATULATIONS!

Now I just have to get down to planning part 4! Or a different game, either way.

Hey! Don't go the wrong direction! :o

Believe me - there is only one thing you can think about from now on *looking deep in my eyes*:

   part 4,
      part 4,
          part 4,
             part 4 ...

[and it still seems to come more!]

Just a short note inbetween:

My next messages in this thread for you will be done in „stealth- mode“,
that's the reason, why I want to tell you „personally“ already today,
how happy I am about such a lot of great stories untill now ... .
...and it still seems to come more!       

I am proud being a member of this forum with a lot of nice people from all around the world,
helping each other and having fun together.

   

        Tabata

I prefer Prfessor Neely a bit “roundish” and cute, so I like  #1 most (and because he is nearest to the original).

#3 could be his brother and and #2 another related (i.e. colour his hair and he may be his son).


I can imagine, those three will do a lot of "booooom"-bastic experiments together

[new deadline is set to Saturday, 09th of April]

Hello there,

I got news for you!
I was asked about an extension for this competition and it seems to me, that this would be a good thing for several other writers, too.

So let's take the chance to get some more nice stories for all of us and give it two more days!

                                                                   

                                            new deadline is set to Saturday, 09th of April


@straydogstrut:
These are sad news! I hope you get well soon and of course we like to read your story, whenever it is done!

               

                   Please don't forget to come up with your stories!

[totally]

Now, that SookieSock has confirmed actuality of her thread, I take my chance for to reply:

@Snarky:
Ã,,hem, ...ääh ... - Oh, yes! I totally misunderstood the remarks of NickyNice.   Thank you for pointing this out.

@NickyNice:
Sorry, for my first reply â€" my mistake!

Let's try it again: I defined this as a loosened part of the (not complete) digit.

                                            Like this:    



Edit:
... another mistake of me had to be corrected (I always have trouble with user-names belonging to him or her and need to learn taking a peek in the profiles before doing a posting  )

[very]

I had uncountable numbers of clicks, too, until it worked. 

I made it, when ...

... going very near to the door.
The character is going to be a bit onto the door.
Then you can go with the cursor more nearer to the door (using the body as background) ...

and then .... as Domithan said already
