Wow... VERY impressive! Could almost have been the intro from a Deep Silver game.

Any chance you could throw this up on Youtube of Vimeo sometime? Can't embed the video from Facebook, I'd like to feature your trailer on my blog.

Music is really good and the atmosphere of the trailer/intro is very enjoyable as well. Strangely though the art changes in style in almost each scene and the camera shakes in places for no reason. But yeah, it's wip, so I'm still looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

Yes there's 2 people working on the 3D design which could explain the changes - Micamic, and myself. I'm actually rather happy with the final render. I think Micamic said it was rendered with the 3D software's own renderer. I reckon otherwise we'd have been waiting months with all the water animations and lighting.

But... Has this been done using AGS?!?

DazJ · Fri 25/05/2012 14:18:30

It's all been built and coded within AGS yes.

Looking very, very nice!

CaptainD · Mon 13/08/2012 19:06:23

Looking extremely good so far! Any plans on a demo release soon?

DazJ · Tue 14/08/2012 11:55:35

There's no solid plans on a demo release BUT I am toying with the idea of releasing this in Chapters, ala TellTale Games. If this is the case, I doubt I'll release a playable demo.

GET BACK TO WORK AND LET US KNOW WHEN WE CAN SEE MORE!!!

It's been a while since the last update.

There's been a lot of changes to the game, especially the main character, Peter, as you can see from the promotional pictures below.

Also, the 720p HD aspect has been dropped in favour of good old 640x480-style as it was proving a problem when it was coming to porting. So far, I'm very happy with how it's all coming together.

There's a also a new inventory system that's been created which can be seen at the very bottom.

Hey, thanks for the update - I'd been wondering what had happened to this one!

DazJ · Thu 28/02/2013 15:42:00

It went through so many changes it's unbelievable but it's still going strong

LTGiants2000 · Thu 28/02/2013 23:36:40

Happy to see more on this one, keep it up DAZ!!

DazJ · Wed 10/04/2013 10:34:17

I've been plowing through now and it's really making progress. I may release a playable short demo in the next week or so.

CaptainD · Wed 10/04/2013 11:23:42

Good to hear!
