Hello everyone,

We are three game-design students who have been working on our finals for the past few months. We chose to work with interactive storytelling and used the adventuregame-genre as a platform for this (since it's a heavily storydriven genre). Our main assignment was to develop a full storyline for our game as well as developing an intro cinematic. As we are now reaching our exams, we thought it would be fun to get some feedback from adventuregamers, that we could use to back up our oral presentation.

We've developed a prototype of our game in AGS, to showcase our idea. There is, however, very far to go, in order for it to be a "real" demo. Think of it as a little teaser of what to expect. In our demo you'll find 2 puzzles and 3 areas (the prototype is over when you succeed at gaining entrance to "empacorp")

About the game:

Set in the near future, 2042, The Link is a story of mystery and betrayal. You play Gabe, a young telepathic twin, who embarks on a journey to find his lost brother. A search that sends you heads on with the government and their sinister plans.

Features:

Highly detailed 32bit 800x600 backdrops.
8 angle 3D rendered avatar with smooth walkcycle.
Simple easy to use verb-coin style GUI.
Opening Cinematic with real-life actors.

Since we've crammed most of the juice out of AGS, the download is a bit hefty - running in at 10 mb. Get it here:

Originally the intro was part of the game, however to make things easier we've split them up. You can find the intro-cinematic here:

(We recommend you download it, if you have the time, since it gives you further hints to the story).



Cheers!

Doesn't look too bad, but the animations leave a lot to be desired.
