Title: To Bury The Truth (A Lazarus Bundy's Adventure)
Post by: The Man on July 26, 2012, 07:02:56 PM
Hi to everyone! Since I'm using WME to create my latest project, I wanted to introduce it to the community of our favourite engine!
The game will be titled "To Bury The Truth (A Lazarus Bundy's Adventure)", as the subject of the conversation suggested, and it will be an old style 2D point&click adventure!
I won't give details about the plot yet, so just enjoy these first images and tell me what do you think about it!

Very pretty art. Only be careful that the animations match the artistic style.

Very nice graphics but a little flat. Add some shading and will be cool.

Thanks for the comments!
hubertMichael, the backgrounds are a little poor for what concerns the shadows because I'm developing the game totally on my own and the amount of time I need is too much... I needed to shorten the production time somehow, and I decided to use this style... I'd like to work on each background more than I do, but if I do so the game will never see the light! Thanks anyway for the advise!

Anyway, since anarchist asked for the animations of the game, I wanted to share with you two gifs I made in which you can see two basic animations of our main character, Lazarus Bundy in person! Hope you like them!

Soon enough I will be posting a video of the game while it's running! It will show a finished background when you will be able to see Lazarus' standing and walking animations, plus some characters and their respective animations!

After months of silence, here we are again with a huge update on the game!
Following your suggestions, I worked harder and longer on each and every background adding more shades, details and interactive areas!
In addiction to this, I've been joined by an expert musician who will compose the musics for TBTT and who's already proved her quality to me!

The project slowly grew into something I'd never expected I could achieve and I'm proud to show you the results of these last months' hard work!

First, here's a comparison between the original "garden" background and the improved version:

And now some new backgrounds never seen before. Hope you like them:

Eventually, here's a little video showing some real gameplay. Forgive me for the bad quality of it, but I couldn't record a full screen video! I'll do better with the next ones!

This is it, for now! Let me know what you think of the game, because your feedback is the main reason we're working this hard!

P.S. Obviously, the game will completely be localized in english.

Art style for some reason calls for me associations with Yellow Submarine and Music Box with a Secret (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=EVtJudhNXiY) cartoons :)
