Congratulations on the release. The trailer is pretty effective. Great job and good luck!

visionmind

I love the detail, the animations (especially the background stuff) and the updated trailer. Voted.

Good luck.

visionmind

I really appreciated your thoughts about Broken Age. I've always found analyzation like this valuable.
Keep it up.

Congratulations on the release, Nicky!

I had the pleasure of testing this game and am glad I could (hopefully) contribute something to this game. I had a lot of fun with it, and probably ended up liking Head the most. He really was an endearing character, just as Fitz mentioned.
While it did stump me in a few places, in hindsight I realized (or discovered) there were always clues to the solutions, or they were more logical than I was thinking.
The artwork. I've realized the most important thing about artwork is that it all needs to be consistent. I've seen some games where there's too much detail in the backgrounds and not enough in the characters, (or vice versa) and while such inconsistency may not ruin the game, it does take me out of it. It's hard to get right, especially when there's only one person creating it. I think the artwork was perfect for this game; perfect consistency and nice animations.

Lastly, I want to say that making an adventure game is hard work, months if not years in the making, all so we can enjoy something for a few hours.  So, thank you for your work and whatever you decide to do, good luck!

Whoa! I totally was not expecting this.  That is so cool.  I know I mentioned this in your A Night in Berry thread, but I love how you do the characters. They perfectly convey their emotions/attitudes in the beginning of the game.

Awesome Creamy.

Hey Everyone,

I just thought I'd let everyone know I've written a walkthrough for the game, just in case any of you get stuck and need a little nudge.  It's written for the most recent version of the game, so if some names are off, it's most likely because of that.

It's available here.

Good luck!

PS I've also put the link in the Completed Game Announcement.

Hey Everyone,

I've written a walkthrough for the game, just in case any of you get stuck and need a little nudge.  It's written for the most recent version of the game, so if some names are off, it's most likely because of that.

At this point in time, I realize that for next time, it would probably be better to write a hint system for inside the game. While making the game the idea of adding a hint system seemed overwhelming, but after writing the walkthrough I see it would have been the better thing to do, even if it would mean more planning and organizing the code ahead of time. One of the many lessons learned.

It's available here.

Thanks everyone!

Hey Airborne,

1.

Spoiler

You have to descend to find the amplifier.

[close]

2.

Spoiler

It's in the room with the incinerator (where your sister's shoes and belt were (among other things))

[close]

3.

Spoiler

It's in a cardboard box on the very left hand side of the top of the junk.

[close]

Good luck.  I hope you enjoy it.

visionmind

Thanks guys.  I'm glad you enjoyed it.

@Creamy.

Spoiler

Yeah, that's one of my favorite parts.

So taking in some feedback from here, especially for the lack of in-game responses, I updated the game (1.1) with more in-game responses.  I hope it helps.

visionmind

Updated!
I've updated the game with more feedback, modified a few backgrounds, and changed the location of one of the objects to better utilize the environment. (see the main post for which object)

I should note that because of some significant changes, this version's saved games won't be compatible with the old version.

Enjoy!

visionmind

Thanks ThreeOhFour! And you are welcome. It took much longer to make than anticipated, so I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I'm actually in the process of adding some more feedback throughout the game. I was hoping to be done by now, but things never go as quickly as planned. An updated version should be out in the next couple days.

Hey Inventive Mind,
I'll try to help with some screenshots this time.

Question about sister's leg...

Spoiler

Did you open the drawer in the bottom screenshot and get the Disk, the Stitch Foam, and the Bandages?

[close]

If not...

Spoiler

In the bottom screenshot room, press the blue button, to open the drawer, and get the Disk, Stitch Foam and Bandage.

[close]

If so...

Spoiler

You need to use the Stitch Foam on your sister's wound, and then the Bandage.

[close]

Also for that Green Button:

Spoiler

[close]

I hope that helps.

visionmind

Sorry, ThreeOhFour, I completely missed your post, but NickyNyce is right with his second hint.

@NickyNyce

Spoiler

You need the System Health Disk (it's mentioned in (1) on the Facility Blueprints). But, as you've probably discovered, they've locked you out of all the rooms, so it's time to use that trusty crowbar on the button panel.

[close]

Okay, so first the Wires

Spoiler

You've already done all you need to do in that location (remove the Navigational System).  So you're good to go.  And the key is used later on, after you have helped your sister.

[close]

The Dirt

Spoiler

In order for you to be able to clean the wound, you have to give your sister some water and the "Murder Painers" pain pills.  Then you should be able to use water to clean the dirt, and the alcohol to clean the red infection. Make sure you put the water over the actual Dirt, and not just anywhere on the leg.

[close]

Computer

Spoiler

That particular computer isn't supposed to do anything more than deliver information.  Just make sure you press the blue round button, in that ship, to open the drawer and get all the stuff.

[close]

I hope that helps.  Good luck.
visionmind

Thank you Inventive Mind. It is still very early on in the year, but still thank you.

Alright, I'll do my best to try and point you in the correct direction.

Spoiler

In order to help your sister you need to fix the transport ship with the computer screen in it (5th screenshot down). You'll need three replacement parts to repair it. You already have two.

Spoiler

The third is in a panel in the crinkled ship, in the same location as the fixable ship.

[close]

There are panels on the outside, and inside the ship.

[close]

To help your sister (complete spoilers)

Spoiler

First, she needs some pain pills, and water.  Then, to help her leg, she needs items that are inside the first-aid drawer, inside the fixed transport ship, but the ship must be fixed to open the drawer.  She also needs some other items that you have already found.

[close]

Once your sister has been helped (complete spoilers)

Spoiler

After you have helped your sister, there is something inside the seat she was resting on.  You need that object to open the sharp Metal Panel in the bottom screenshot.

[close]

The Magnerator (4th screenshot going down) is just there as something to explore (there's nothing you need to do with it).

I hope that helps, but let me know if you need more help.

Good luck.

PS

Spoiler

There is something small on the drone's claw that you'll need, in the second screenshot.

[close]

Thanks ThreeOhFour and NickyNyce.  That's exactly the sort of thing I needed to learn from this 'little' experiment of mine.

visionmind

I love the animation, especially the character animations.  Keep up the good work!
visionmind

Sorry, I didn't notice this until now.

Spoiler

Have you opened the sheet metal door?  If not, you have all the tools (two are needed) necessary to do so.

[close]

I'm glad you're enjoying the game.  Let me know if this was helpful, or if you need any other help.

visionmind

Thanks guys, I hope you enjoy it.
