Title: the Trader of Story - a game by Marek Rudowski
Post by: Rudowski on June 14, 2009, 12:10:24 AM
Hello everyone,

The Trader of Stories is my first adventure game created in WME. It's about a woman who had lost her memory and in order to find it she travels the world and gathers stories hoping that one of them shall me hers. The background for the game is one of my fantasy worlds I created some time ago.

More info and a playable demo to download on my blog dedicated to this game:

Really like the graphics and the name of the main character is clever.

A nice demo. Good gfx and an interesting story idea. It even reminded me "The Longest Journey" a bit. Hope you can make a full-length game out of it. :-)

Hi

Basing on your great feedback I've decided to put some improvements in the demo itself.

More details and an improved demo can be found on the game website:

Looked through the updated demo. There're still few bugs there.

First, you can take books from cart several times and get
13:30: Runtime error. Script 'scenes\Room\scr\w

Thank you Alex for your perceptiveness.

I've corrected the mistakes. The books cannot be taken more then once and the "thingie" on Wiseman staff is now swinging also in the closeup location.

I've a question - how did you know the names of the locations (Room, KamienneSny02)?

Switching to debug mode is a documented feature - http://res.dead-code.org/doku.php/kbase:how_do_i_run_a_compiled_game_in_debug_mode_to_allow_error_logging_or_fps_display?s=debug%20mode In the debug mode room names are shown on the screen.

Also there's a dcp unpacker - I wrote about it somewhere here - http://forum.dead-code.org/index.php?topic=2551.msg19567#msg19567

Nice! I like the style, looking forward to seeing what you've got planned...

I noticed a bunch of English errors (aside from the crazy wiseman talk), drop me a message if you want your scripts checked...

Looks fantastic, as usual :)

I'm really getting a fan of this game... are you aiming for commercial release?

Still working on the demo. My beta testers came with new ideas which I'm trying out now. In the meantime you can cast a glance on a new location.

this is a very good project so far... keep it up.. and to add my voice to the chorus.. the art is every very good.

Voice actors needed!

I would very much like to have some voice acting in the game but I cannot do it alone. I cannot support You with nothing more then my gratitude, a place in the credits and final game when it's ready. If it's OK with you - write me a massage. For the time being I need voices of:
- Myosotis (the main character, lots of speaking) - female, age about 35;
- Neesan - female, age about 45;
- Coni - female, age about 12;
- Wiseman, male, age about... well it should sound old.
The design of each character can be found on my webblog.

The game is nice, but there're some glithces. First, book's scrollbar doesn't work like it should. Second, it is not possible to cook "summon drown person" spell before "amulet of power" even if you have all ingredients. Third, you can get drown man story once again if you visit lake after giving mayor the story.

I think the game lacks of dialogues. A trader of stories is a person who should communicate with people much. The persons Myosotis meets could tell us much more. Well, I understand, this is only a short game.

Anyway I've enjoyed "Bell's Heart". Nice graphics, music, and atmosphere. Hope to hear the news on the main "the Trader of Stories" game soon.

As the game has "Add to your site" option we've upped the game on our server (http://questzone.ru/play/1735/). If you ever have a desire to translate "Bell's Heart" into Russian feel free to drop me a message.
