I saw this on Kickstarter a few days ago, and backed it.  It looks brilliant.   

I asked about DRM-free, and you said then it would be DRM-free for backers.
You might want to add that to the FAQ, and top of the main Kickstarter page.   

Good luck with the campaign. 

Thank you Frodo, i wil do

This game looks fantastic. But please, for the love of all things holy, make sure that the English translation is professionally done.

"Ummm! a no exit place" is not going to be okay.

Thank you Durq, yes we know,  Don't worry for the final version we plan to locate the game with professional translators

The Seeds of Vala is a Classic nine verb interface Point & Click Graphic Adventure!.

The story is based in the Legend of Vala, an ancient indian fable that tells us how gemstones were created. This is the Mcguffing that triggers an amazing adventure, in order to find the nine Seeds of Vala, a powerful gemstones disseminated by Indra around the world in ancients times.

In this video we introduce this legend in one of the sequences of the video game, with "The Legend of Vala Theme" and "The Seeds of Vala Main Theme" introducing the main carácter's leitmotiv, both of them included in the awesome original orchestral soundtrack.

- Classic style graphic adventure with graphic adventure aesthetics of the 90's.
- Nine Verbs interface.
- Languages: English and Spanish.
- Exotic places, challenging puzzles, traps, mystery and a fair right dose of humor.
- Awesome original orchestral soundtrack.
- You can choose to play with the orchestrated or midi soundtrack.

In this adventure you will put yourself in the shoes of Chase (Chester) Mcnaughton, a hired adventurer and unusual objects achiever.

Chase will receive Cornelius (Corey) Bowman's order(a powerful millionaire and eccentric collector, patron, and philanthropist of numerous causes) to trace and find someone who has mysteriously disappeared in a hidden place on earth while searching for one of the Vala's nine seeds of power, an Asura (demon god) that according to a Hindu legend was the origin of gems and mines.

Skeptic at first, Chase, will soon discover that there is something else behind a simple disappearance and a few gemstones. Dark secrets, and people who will not stop at anything in order to obtain a power never seen before. The supernatural and the everyday come together in this story.

The firt seed  is a blue sapphire know as "Eye of Vala". This is the first of the nine power gemstones and the most important, since it has the power of revelation. The Eye of Vala will reveal the location of the rest gemstones, so this is why is so important.

Each of the nine gemstones of Vala has its own kind of power. But to unleash their powers have to be used with other objects such as the Scepter of Vala or The Navratna.

Kind of puzzles with the common gemstones.
Many types of mines and common gemstones are created and concentrated around each of the nine Gemstones (Seeds) of power of Vala  due to its magical energy. Those common gemstones can be used and combined with diferent objects, like keys, doors, etc.  Many objects only need a single gemstone, others need different combinations of them. Choosing a bad combination of gems on certain objects could a bad idea and could be dangerous.

In this image you can see a gold object with five holes to place stones. It will not always be necessary to fill all holes with gemstones. Only those necessary for the purpose required and in the correct order and sequence (For example, it might be a bad idea to combine a ruby in the center with a diamond in the lower right corner),  maybe you would have a horrible death , or not, It's only and example for illustrating purpose.



But don't worry, there will be clues that will help you choose wisely.

Awesome original orchestral soundtrack accompanied by ethnic instruments from each of the regions that will appear in the video game and that will make you put yourself even more in the shoes of the protagonist. The epic and adventurous themes will be mixed with varied themes adapted to each scene, with climates of mystery, intrigue and even romanticism.

Instrumentalists from around parts of the world will collaborate in the recording of the soundtrack, whose result will catch you out from the first to the last minute so that you can enjoy the adventure with all your senses.

Main Theme of Original Soundtrack

Each of the special sound effects will be completely original, studio recorded,  specifically for our adventure. Adapted to the needs of the video game, they will set the scenes and recreate the scenes much better and give the sound section the warmth necessary to immerse you in the story of our character.

Thank you

Looks amazing, the intro really captures the adventure spirit of Indiana Jones!

That horse's neck though...

I'll have to polish that neck

Wow, it looks and sounds very good!! Hey, are you the person behind "Raiders of the lost ark" adventure? I played your demo sometime ago and it was very interesting seeing this adaptation!! I am looking forward both of them!!

Yes, I am one of the group working on ROTLA, the project is still alive, but it is progressing slowly, now I am finishing Tanis section backgrounds and animations as you can see in that image.


Eye os Destiny is presonal project, less ambitious and short just for fun.

[Indiana Jones and the eye of destiny]

Indiana Jones and the eye of destiny
Yes, another indy game

Indiana Jones and the eye of destiny is a frewere fan-made short game.

Story:
During reforms at the university, Jones is temporarily transferred to the office of Professor Jack Smith, dean of the university nicknamed -Jack One Eye- because he lost his left eye in the great war. Jack disappeared years ago.

While putting his things in order, Jones discovered in one of the drawers, a secret compartment containing a dusty manuscript diary, describing the existence of an ancient gem known as the eye of destiny.
The diary explained that "the eye" gives the gift of clairvoyance and gave the power to reveal hidden information about people, objects, places and physical events.

Indy decides to investigate and discovers in the university library some old manuscripts along with a map with annotations of Jack that could support the idea that the diary might not be entirely an invention. This map pointed to a specific place.
After obtaining funding from the university, Indiana Jones embarks on a new adventure.

hansolo1970, thank you wery much. We are working hard, actually finishing Nepal section, but we also have been working in the Cairo section too and all the Cairo's sketchs are ready, so we will start coding the Cairo section soon. Hope we will show an update soon. Thank you again

Cianty, looks great  :o, are you planing to advance a demo?

Fantastic work 

Any chance of seeing a screenshot or two from the Marshall College section? 

There is one ingame posted by Jandemor in the Teckel Studios page in facebook.
http://es-es.facebook.com/pages/Teckel-Studios/141483992617157

Jones's classroom.



Actually Jandemor is working in the fighting code too.

What is new?

Hi shse, we are working hard, actually finishing the Marshall collage section.

We have an interview and review in the Retromaniac magazine, sorry but is only in spanish.

http://issuu.com/retromaniac/docs/retromaniac5

Page 44 review, and interview in pages 50 and 51
You can also see in the magazine old backgrounds, the begining of a new one and a new character.

Actually we are moving to Patan section in Nepal

Hi!

Quo and Jandemor- how is your progression?

Hi shse.

We are working in the next chapter, prologue is finished, but refining details. We have a new composer, Cristina Villanueva, that is performing a great soundtrack and midis.

A new screenshot included in the next chapter:



Actualy we are working in the university backgrounds too.

Thank you to all 

Great demo! Feels as professional as LucasArts own efforts.

However, I am stuck in the room with the idol. Can anyone tell me how to pick up the idol?

Thanks in advance.

Have you seen Forrestal?

A sample of an Hovito in new version, previous version was a bit small.

A few of friendly locals.

shse it's early for a release date, right now we are with the prologue, a demo is near to be completed 

Lt. Smash, yes the backgrounds are made with the old and great Deluxe Paint II. 

[The Honeycomb]

Updated first post with "The Honeycomb", next "The Fork".

We are doing the entire Raiders movie, and will be a entire game, not episodic. Right now we are working in the prologue part that will be completaly playable. The prologue will have more than 20 backgrounds inspired in the film, so will be relatively long introduction of the game, with a couple of diferent situations but inspired in the movie


A sample ingame of a situation inspired in the movie (sprites are still old versions)

Basicaly hansolo1970 gives the main reason   

Another reason is to diferentiate from the other project of Raiders. Also at the beginning we need a code name, and finally Raiders of the lost ark is a icon of the adventure, and Indiana jones an idol for who like the adventure.
