I have finally managed to download it.
My Impressions so far (keep in mind that I haven't played it much yet).
-- If the creators intention was to impress from the beginning they have managed to do it! How the hell did they create that animated main menu? I have to try it someday. It's fantastic.
-- The backgrounds are one the best I have seen in a cartoon ag ever (ok, that was not a secret, I have seen some pictures in the past
). They have much details and many animations. Great job!
-- The characters sometimes impress me and sometimes they seem boring. The Mafia guys for example can't stand a comparison with the other animated characters.
-- The speech is very good except main character's voice which sound very "static". As if everything the character is saying has the same importance. A little more "color" here please. (Does this make sence in english?)
-- It has long dialogs which seem to contain a lot of informations. At least this is what looks like from this small demo. That makes the player not to get bored. (I personally love long dialogues - Discword 1 rules!)
-- The in-game menus are not what I was hoping for after I saw that lovely main menu. They are like the "standard" wme menus. I want animated in-game menus please...
Oh... and don't forget that 6 save slots in one page are few for someone that keep very detailed savegames like me. It makes me to turn a lot of pages to find a specific savegame.
It's definetely seems promising. If the joe team don't manage to find a funder then maybe the adventure genre might loose a great cartoon game.
EDIT: I like the dialogs althought they didn't manage to impress me. But I guess that this is normal in a small demo when the player is missing critical background information.
