The First Time

The First Time

Hello, I'm new here (I just passed the registration quizz! That was quite easy, I only failed at the captcha)  and new at making games too, but I've got a game in production to show so I suppose I'm in the right place. (I'm also french so, please excuse me if my english isn't good enough).

The story :

This game is called The First Time (in french : La Première Fois), mainly because it is the first time I work on a game.  This game doesn't really have a « story Â», I suppose it is too short for that, but it has a main theme : The creation process, or the difficulty to make a game, especially when you're a lazy beginner. This game is entirely improvised, and I didn't know what it will look like when it will be finished. Now, I can see more precisely, so I dare post on this forum.
The main character is...a main character. He has no background, no real design at first, he's just the main character of a game, and he's aware of it. At the beginning of the game, he meets a lazy talking pigeon...and this lazy talking pigeon is in fact a representation of the creator, myself. A « Mise en abyme Â» like we say in french.
Yeah...I know it seems a bit weird...
Then, the quest of the character will be to help the pigeon finishing the game. I can say much more because the game (this is supposed to be the first chapter) is very short, and I don't want to spoil everything.

The graphics :

As I'm not good at drawing (it is my first time too), I chosed a very simple pixel-art style, as you can see on the screenshots

The music :

Some musicians friends of mine will work on the music. It will probably be the best part of the game ^^.


The game will be released first in french (next month maybe) and I also want to translate it in english. But as you can't see, my english isn't excessively good.
To be honnest, I'm really not sure The First Time will be a good game, but hey, it's my first time!

- Story 80%
- Graphics 90%
- Scripting 70%
- Music/sound 20%


(I know, there is no background, but it is totally normal)

Bonjour

Theres a first time for everything and AGS is a really good place to start in regards to getting into game development. I actually really like your art style here, sometimes simple is a good thing. plus your lead character est un funky homme!

Looking forward to giving it a play, I can just about get by with my French but a translation would be great.

'The Distress of the white page'? I see this is going to be quite surreal too haha.

Keep it up man!

Thank you. It's very encouraging. I'll try to work hard on it to finish it as soon as possible. I just have to find some time...
