If only more adventure games had the budget and talent.

Okay, i know that main reason is that is cheaper to do but still i hope that somedays they will wake up and start do again 2d games or finally Gabriels engine will be the standard.

A man of my own heart.

They'll get the funding they need, I just have to win the lotto first.

I hope you don't mean Gabe 3's low poly character models were superior to this? If you mean the whole game, I don't think I agree with that either. How exactly *should* 3D be used, anyway? For me, it certainly isn't the ancient, clunky Gabe 3.

There's nothing wrong with this at all. It doesn't look like a cheap model, it looks like a stylized one.

Well, if I had said that this thread might have been moved to General Gaming.

Do you realize how insulting this can sound not only to the team behind And Then There Were None but pretty much every adventure developer in general?

Intrepid Homoludens · 07-13-2005, 07:11 PM

Oh stop it. With due respect, you're assuming it was my intent to insult people. It is not, and I have nothing more to say about this, so don't waste your time. Besides, you knew exactly what I meant, so don't keep carrying on about it.

Agustin · 07-13-2005, 07:18 PM

You inferred there's not enough talent, or maybe no talent at all, in the adventure genre. How am I supposed to interpret that?

hahah Why so concerned? Is this YOUR game? There are spys among us.

Anyway, i'd love to see more adventure games use the GK3 engine. Sure, it would be slighly out of date, but it was bright, colorful, the faces could convey emotion. It's perfect! I think they should do it!

Hey, now.

Agustin is a developer (not of this game, though) and has every right to express his opinion. (And personally, I love that we have devs who frequent this board. They're not spies; they're community members just like everyone else.

)

Agustin is the developer of SCRATCHES

Oh yeah...I almost forgot about that game! It looks wick. Who is publishing?

I'm not saying he can't voice his opinion, but he shouldn't jump down treps throat when it's obvious he didn't mean it as an insult.

I agree, the character looks crap

I m understanding why they were keeping any screenshot secret for so long

Anyway as long as the story and characters are engrossing and the gameplay is really about investigation (clues) and talking (what Still Life SHOULD have been instead of stupid puzzles) , I ll be fine with it

That's an interesting point. Was your experience of playing Still Life affected in such a way because of its adherence to typical adventure game puzzle design, as opposed to if it had instead featured more intensive witness/suspect investigation and forensics (as in real life FBI cases)?

I meant that with Gabes engine you could finally explore the game area freely. It added so much feeling in the game. 3d should be using it´s greatest advance against 2d and that is the freelook. Why make 3d game that handles just like 2d when you can make lively and interesting world that you can explore freely? Police Quest 1 (or Gabriel Knight 1 for that matter) for example would be nice to see running in Gabes engine. Granted though the character graphics should be upgared to Max Payne2/Alan Wake level.

Yeah, i know that you can make bloody beautiful characters in 3d. Still, almoust all adventure game 3d characters look so badly made. But that is something i have to live with.

Dont get me wrong people, im always happy when somebody start to making new adventure game but im just living in my memories when adventure games had that great 2d look.

Those were the days my friend,
We'd thought they'd never end...
