It's up to 1/6 now, eh? I remember when last we spoke you were thinking 1/10. Ah well. I'll take it
But yeah, I was just thinking a more feature-complete version of the same demo, with voice and music and the new engine would be snazzy. But I suppose you're right that that doesn't really make much sense until you get near the end of this thing. Last edited by Frogacuda; 08-28-2006 at 01:07 PM. |

No, the screens in the demo are about 1/10th of the screens in the final game. When I said the demo is 1/6th I just meant in terms of the story, not number of screens.
But let me just be clear that the game is not separated into parts or acts.

I love the cohesion between the graphics and the atmosphere. It makes me smile in a weird sort of way.

REAL zombies?!?

Well, it's nearing October, and that means Halloween!
I know many will be dissappointed that the game is not finished, but I'm hoping to have some tricks and treats later in the month. I don't want to anyone's hope up, it might not be anything exciting. Afterall, I'm getting married on the 15th (which is one thing that's slowed my production a bit) and then of course is the honeymoon. But hopefully, they'll be something new for people anticipating the game.

Well, I'm back from the honeymoon and I've got a little Halloween treat (very little, some would say) to start off this spooky week! Check out the News section of the Nearly Departed website. Hopefully I'll have more tricks and treats throughout the week.

Yay! Stuff!
How far along do you think you are, now, John? (In terms of art and animation completed, not in terms of time, which I know is impossible to guage) |

I've been focusing entirely on backgrounds, and I'm probably about 75% done with them. It's hard to gauge since many are in various stages of completion (around half are 100% finished, a quarter are 60% finished, and the last quarter are 30% finished.)
As for animation, only about 10% of that is done. And inventory items are being redone. But the time I'll be able to work on it has increased now that all the planning for my wedding has come to a successful conclusion, so I should have more frequent progress reports.

I've updated the gallery section of the Nearly Departed website with a couple new backgrounds and some more development art and sketches.

Beautiful! Absolutely love your graphic style and the demo is top notch! Congrats
I also have one question, since i see you are using Lassie I'm wondering, is there a way to make a game appear full-screen? |

However, the final game will be made with "LassieAS." This version of the engine makes games that open in Flash Player, which can play in full screen. So, you'll be able to play the final game full screen, just not the demo.

Backgrounds are penciled and inked by hand, then scanned into the computer and colored in Photoshop.
