In Progress



Recently I picked up an old concept for a game and decided I had come up with a good enough plot to actually start building a game out of it. Therefore, a few weeks ago I sat down and spent a weekend putting together enough graphics to make the first part of this game. With quite a bit of plot to cover, I've decided to try releasing the game in short chapters, to let people play the game while I work on bigger projects and real life things.

It's not very often that I wait nearly a whole year to develop an idea into something I like enough to turn into a game, and I'm proud of how the first part has come together, featuring what is some of my favourite examples of my graphics and writing to date. This first part is very nearly done, it's completely playable and missing only a few animations, bugfixes and audio before it is complete, as well as polishing up some of the dialogue.

Therefore, I'm confident enough to announce the first part of the game will be released soon, and look forward to seeing what people think!

Sounds great!

Oh, yeah, the sound of the game - in terms of music that Sebastian and co have put together - is fantastic :D

Been dying to see that background in one of your games ever since your 'then' and 'now' image. A tantalising post from you Ben - me wants that carrot!

This is even more a surprise than the last post!

Straydogstrut: I hope the carrot cometh soon! The game really is very complete - at least until I hear back from testers! Hopefully thought it won't take too long to fix any of their issues.

Ponch: Man, this will be a year full of surprises!
