Infection - Episode 1 - The ship is a freeware game, created with AGS. It was a solo operation by WHAM, with only the music and some of the voice acting coming from outside sources. It is a short and straightforward adventure game, with simple action and survival horror themes added into the mix. The ship is the first game ever released by WHAM, and acts as the first episode in a trilogy of Infection games.
Design and developement
As the game served as its developer's first foray into AGS game developement and pixel art, the project went through several iterations before taking its final shape. Originally the game was nothing but a simple male character, dressed in a green protective suit and a helmet, walking around in a small underground complex. The version consisted of two rooms and a few hotspots, and was created using the AGS 2.72's now outdated script commands.
After a while the game was moved onto a spaceship and a simple storyline, completed by a small cast of characters, was created as a foundation to be built upon in the sequels. The project gained momentum as the AGS community, through forum interactions, assisted in solving issues and adapting the old script into the new object-based scripting.
Music
'The ship' features an all-original ambient soundtrack by Tony "Ferrara" Caven. The soundrtack consists of thee musical pieces: the intro, outro and main themes, and amount to over 40 minutes of music.
Story
In 'The ship' the game follows the actions of Michael Owen, a spaceship mechanic working on a small cargo vessel called the Pelican. The ship's crew comes under attack by a crazed assailant and must work to defend themselves and their ship.
