Thanks AprilSkies, selmiak and Kasander for your comments!

This first beta was mostly made to introduce the game's humour. The gameplay itself, with the funny puzzles/interactions with objects/events, will be presented in the second beta I'm working on right now. It's planned to be out by the end of the year (probably October).

Terry Gilliam's animations in Monty Python's Flying Circus is indeed a huuuuuuuuuuuuge influence for Lancelot's Hangover animations. It's funny to watch and quick to do when you work solo on a project.

About the headbanger speaking animations, I understand it can distract while reading the dialogs. My objective for the moment is finishing the second beta and its gameplay, but I'll try to fix those speaking animations for the final release

Once again, thanks a lot for your feedbacks!

Wow, Monty Pyhtons! That's very flattering

Feel free to tell me what you think of Lancelot, Mandle. I will be glad to know what do you think about

Thank you so much bicilotti, Kasander, AprilSkies and Gurok. I look forward to give you the link to download the beta!

If some of you understand Russian, a Lancelot fan have written a so kind article on QuestZone: http://questzone.ru/news/EupEFuFkpVDwDgMYso

edit by darth - posts combined (no need to double-post!)

One observation though: to make my game's trailer, I've video captured the game with Camatasia while I was playing it. Full-screen capture leads to a black video, although windowed capture worked perfectly. Do you think is it because of the Custom Resolution Build or would it happen also with the canonical 3.3.0? Or maybe the problem came from Camatasia and my PC?

Thanks so much for this addon Crimson Wizard. I used for about 2 months now, and it's stable. No single crach or any problem using it. 1080p graphics rocks!

Thanks Darth Mandarb I'll update this thread while the game is making

[Darth Mandarb]

Hi Darth Mandarb and thanks for your post

• These screenshots were composed with Photoshop during preprod, but the assets in game will be the very same. Only the GUI will be a bit updated.


• Yep. The game is made with AGS, and the in-game sequences during the trailer video has been taken from my computer screen while playing (even the thunder background!). The opening church plan and the 'VGA graphics' and logo plans of the trailer were made with AfterEffects thought.

LANCELOT'S HANGOVER

A whole life to find the Holy Grail
One alcohol-filled night to lose it

Hi everyone

I'm from Belgium and I'm designing a funny and old-school point and click adventure game for PC and Mac.

Here's the pitch:
After a 10-year quest, Lancelot and his fellow Gawain have found the Holy Grail! Immediately informed, King Arthur runs to meet the most valiant knights of the Round Table. While their king brings them fortune and fame, Lancelot and Gawain celebrate their victory over a few beers. The next morning, Lancelot wakes up in his underwear in a gay bar. The keeper tells him that he has lost the Holy Grail playing cards and Gawain has been kidnapped by environmental activists. If he does not want to be killed by Arthur, Lancelot has to get back the Grail and his companion in arms before the king of Britain discovers what happened.

I've started this thread on the AGS forum to introduce you the game's developpement. I will be extremely glad to get your comments, advices and suggestions. My goal is to provide you the funniest point and click I can.

If you have questions about the sorywriting, the making of the artworks, the code stuff, the list of all psychoactive drugs consumed to craft the puzzles and the 'creative' businness plan behind the game financing (and yes, all the rumours about the offshore accounts and the ties with the Russian mafia you read on the Internet are true!), feel from to drop me a comment. I'll make my best to reply the most sincerely I can.


If you want to test the game, a beta is coming very soon. I'll give a download link on this forum. Or if it's handier for you, I'll tweet the link on @Lancelot_game

Thanks

Jean-Baptiste

         
         
         

Very Important (although boring) Legal Stuff

The European Commercial Court of Justice (ECCJ), held on 8th February 2014 in Brussels (Belgium), stated that:

• The author of the video game called "Lancelot's Hangover" is no more allowed to include in his playful-oriented computer program any puzzles that can be solved in a logical manner. The player, to progress through the game, must always use, one by one, all the objects in the inventory on all the different objects and characters within the game (and if possible, several times). In addition, only websites in Serbo-Croatian language will be willing to publish a text walkthrough (which must first be encrypted using the SHA-512 algorithm).
  
• The author of the video game "Lancelot's Hangover" will also break any contacts with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un by 23th June 2014 and will provide a urine sample, every Tuesday morning, at The European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice (CEPEJ) until 1st January 2017 inclusive.
