Nice animated donkey! Looks pretty neat. I assume you're scaring the hell out of it; cause he looks mighty freaked

Donkeys don't like snakes. That's all I have to say on the matter.

I've been so busy showing off little bits and pieces from our new animation team that I've neglected to tease some of the new screenshots we've been working on. Here's my most recent favorite:

DanielH · 10-07-2007, 10:49 AM

My Lord... those screenies look fantastic! Can't wait to see more.

Status Update: February 28, 2009

You didn't think we'd abandonned this project, did you? Here's where we're at:

1) To take advantage of the 1024x768 screen resolution now available in the newest version of AGS, we're in the midst of repainting and re-sizing many of the original screens done several years ago. This is going very quickly, and has been outsourced to a wonderful and enthusiastic artist in Poland.

2) The re-painting is happening simultaneously with the work by our new animation lead, Wyatt Miles of Flash Potatoes, LLC. Many of you will have seen his work on Dave Gilbert's Emerald City Confidential. Wyatt and his team are nearly done with the first 90 second cutscene, an animated movie that opens the game. Expected completion date for that is April, and when it's done I'll post it here as a bit of a teaser trailer.

3) Wyatt is also working on the in-game sprites. These are coming along well, and you can see the Jake sprite below.

In summary: Work continues, it's going really well, but no, I'm not yet ready to announce a release date. Sorry!

BEAUTIFUL! GO GO GO!

Man I can't wait to play this. I am dying to see some live footage.

Excellent work guys. The graphics look terrific. I love indie games the most. There's so much talent out there. Great job, we will all be keeping an eye out for this game. Good luck completing your project.

J. Skeng · 02-28-2009, 06:55 PM

The game looks amazing, exactly the kind of adventure games I WISH the still made.

Can't wait for it's release (although I may be an old man by then lol)

Yes, AGS. Long live the big blue cup!

Here's another screenshot (well, two screens stacked on top of each other, technically):

looks great. when can we expect a demo

?

*chapter11studios* · 07-06-2009, 03:50 AM

Hi everyone,

Later this month, we'll be releasing a 2:00 animated prologue for Rise of the Hidden Sun: A 'Rattlesnake' Jake Dawson Adventure. It's the opening movie that sets the stage for the game by explaining how Jake comes into possession of the treasure map that leads to the fabled Lost City of Cibola. Consider it a trailer for the game, too.

To whet the appetite, here are a few images from the movie...

Look for the whole thing on or around July 20 here at AdventureGamers.com!

Cheers,
Josh
