]]> 19 Jul 2007 04:03:32 RomZom One blistering night, when all seemed quiet;
A meteor came crashing and caused a big riot!
To edge closer or not? A question unanswered
as we stumbled through the forest, this way that, we
meandered.

Oh look! The circus is here! The children exclaimed!
And HULABOO-BUBBLE! of the juggling clown fame!

We entered the tent, with hopes and promises
of wonderous activities and sugar pop molasses.

13 green cotton candies, not 4 or 5.
Hung high from the ceiling, swaying here, swaying by.
But what's this? It drips! Red, sticky, warm blood.
A low humming voice whispers, and then a THUD!
]]> 18 Jul 2007 11:35:47 Stranded II Stranded - once more!

In Stranded II you face up with the struggle for survival again. However there is much more to discover and to explore compared to Stranded I. Gather food, tinker your own tools and weapons, go hunting, construct buildings and vehicles, tame wild animals and ride them or find lengendary treasures!
]]> 05 Jul 2007 12:33:01 Sprout Sprout is a creative and original adventure puzzle game created by Jeff Nusz. From the moment you lay eyes on it you know it's something special. The unique artwork for a Flash game has a paper-cut appearance that lends a storybook atmosphere to the game. This environment perfectly suits the role you play as a young seedling trying to find its way home. Sprout has everything we love to see in a Flash game: originality, a simple design, and a beautiful presentation. (qtd. from Jayisgames.com)
]]> 29 Jun 2007 03:49:32 Miestas Created by Jurgis Jonaitis and Justinas Malijonis, Miestas is actually a follow-up to Menulis. Both games incorporate hand-drawn graphics and animation, and create a surreal world adventure to point-and-click through.
]]> 29 Jun 2007 03:22:48 Progress Quest Progress Quest is a next generation computer role-playing game. Gamers who have played modern online role-playing games, or almost any computer role-playing game, or who have at any time installed or upgraded their operating system, will find themselves incredibly comfortable with Progress Quest's very familiar gameplay.

Progress Quest follows reverently in the footsteps of recent smash hit online worlds, but is careful to streamline the more tedious aspects of those offerings. Players will still have the satisfaction of building their character from a ninety-pound level 1 teenager, to an incredibly puissant, magically imbued warrior, well able to snuff out the lives of a barnload of bugbears without need of so much as a lunch break. Yet, gone are the tedious micromanagement and other frustrations common to that older generation of RPG's.
]]> 26 Jun 2007 12:02:47 Fedora Spade Hello there, gumshoe. Fedora Spade's the name. I'm a dick. What? No, not figuratively. The lady across the street might argue otherwise, but I digress. Anyway, I'm a detective, a homicide detective to be exact. I didn't grow up wanting to be a detective, mind you. I hated the cops & robbers game... the other kids always forced me to play the bad guy and gave me a good ass-kicking whenever I was caught. Not a very pleasant childhood memory, yeah? But that's beside the point. I wanted to be an astronaut. I just thought that it'd be neat to explore space, see? But it never happened, as you can probably tell. Math and physics... I can't say that they're my favorite subjects. Plus, watching the challenger explode into a big firework is pretty traumatizing.

So why did I become a homicide detective, you ask? Well, apparently it's the only job that's available for me here. Crime's rampant here in Lawless City, and dead bodies continue to crowd the streets. They need people to combat crime, expendable people; preferably people that aren't too bright in the head. People with a diploma in sociology, or psychology, or some other I-just-want-to-graduate-quickly major. People from third-rate universities who can't seem to find a decent job. People like me. It's dangerous work, but it sure beats flipping burgers. Or is it? I don't know... it's too late for regret now.

Anyway, gumshoe, I've had my fill of bourbon tonight, and I'm in the mood to talk. Why don't you sit tight and lend me a pair of listening ears, eh?
]]> 17 Jun 2007 09:37:15 Pazzesco The game stars a... thing...
The rest of the storyline is still a working progress...
The gameplay is purely adventure/platformer. There are no enemies in the game, which might scare away a lot of gamers, but its more about story, finding new items, planting seeds, and more.
What makes it unique is the fact that there is no enemies, the art is very cool, and its going to be a storyline with a lot of twists, turns, and comedy.

WARNING: there are 3 things that may come as a bit of a shock.
1- There is no sound... yet. If you have musical skills, please contact.
2-There is a glitch that I am not able to run into at all, but others have seen it. I suspect it may be because of computer specs, but either way if you see this, I'd appreciate if you took a screenshot and explain what you did.
3-There isn't much to do yet... This is more of a tech demo than a gameplay demo, but if you want to help give ideas, etc then please contact.
]]> 12 Jun 2007 01:10:17 Beethoven's Hair The player must first summon the ghost of Beethoven before they can fully enter the online game world. This is done by performing a ritual with a strand of Beethoven's hair. The game world will be a fictionalization and poetic interpretation based on established facts already know about Beethoven. Beethoven's ghost will take the player on a dramatic journey rendered within in a poetic and theatrical game like setting, enabling the player to gain a greater insight into Beethoven's physiological workings in relation to his music. It will involve the player in a dreamlike game story that will allow the player to reveal and engage in key themes of Beethoven's life, his hopes and fears. These will be encapsulated in a series of mini-games contained within elements formed by Beethoven's own memories and visions.
]]> 12 Jun 2007 06:05:32 The Fox and the Eight-Six The Fox and the Eight-Six is an Ohrrpgce game by Charbile and Hachi-Roku, and it's based on the fables of Aesop. It's an overhead adventure game involving a series of puzzles. Solve the game!

Special note: "BE GENTLE on the menu script - holding down the up/down arrow keys floods the script beyond it's capabilities, and there's not much we can do about it. TAP the arrows and you should be fine."
]]> 11 Jun 2007 07:58:04 Nick Bounty: A Case of the Crabs

]]> 16 May 2007 02:45:55 Submachine 4: The Lab Submachine 4: The Lab is the fourth installment of the popular Submachine Flash Puzzle/Adventure game. Created by Mateusz Skutnik, Submachine is a compelling mystery that only gets more intriguing as time goes on. Scraps of paper, words etched into walls, and archaic computers leave clues as to what the Submachine is, and how you must escape it. All of the (so far) 5 Submachine games tie into one another, and references to previous ones are riddled throughout.
]]> 10 May 2007 02:38:54 Principles of Evil: Volume I You play as Rogata (Rogi for short), a young taxidermist who dabbles in the dark arts. She's fed up with the daily grind and decides to set off on a mission to find her idol (and it ain't Clay Aiken). She sets off on a journey to find Babayaga: the world's most evil witch.
]]> 09 Apr 2007 06:33:04 Metal Burger You play as Metal Burger, a burger who absolutely loves Heavy Metal music. Sadly, he has lost all ten of his favorite metal CD's, and they've been scattered all over the (unusually small) world he lives in. To make matters worse, he only has 3 minutes to get them back (for no apparent reason)! You'll need to make him run and jump his way through the world in order to retrieve the CD's with as much time and health left as possible.
]]> 29 Mar 2007 07:45:32 Galanz Galanz is a project I've been brainstorming over for quite some time now, it involves a Space Mercenary who is drawn to a planet by a disturbing message that has reached him (sound familiar?). Once he arrives, he sees that all traces of the natives have disapeared, the only things that inhabit the planet are strange monsters and the Robots created by the Natives. Galanz (The Main character in the game) goes out searching for any survivors, or clues to what has happened. Using his weaponry and his Psychic Abilities, he traverses the planet in order to discover just what is going on.

Influences are highly based on classics such as Metroid, Turrican, and the Andro-Synth sub-plot present in Star Control 2/Ur-Quan Masters.

The goal of the game is to basically find out what's going on. The "Galious" style gameplay is a reference to Knightmare 2: Maze of Galious, which was one of THE first Side Scrolling RPGs, complete with leveling and such. Of course, I'd like to go a little bit into more detail with this than what Galious did.

Since it's set to be like a NES game, there will be a restriction on the total buttons able to use, the current format it (in NES Controller format):

A - Shoot
B - Jump
Directional Pad - Move Left and Right, Aim Up and Down.
Start - Main Menu
Select - Use Psychic Ability

Psychic abilities won't be the usual "Fire Firebolt for X amount of P.P" but instead will be closer to actually changing the environment.

Can't jump over a huge wall? Flip gravity around. Can't toggle a switch? Go into E.S.P mode and flip it using your abilities. Oh snap, need to get the password, and the guy who might of had it is dead? Do a Mind Search on him, and find out his memories shortly before he met the wrong end of your gun.

This is the sorta thing I'm aiming for with this, not extremely complicated (mind sceens could just be cutsceens, and gravity for an object can easily be reversed), but fun and useful enough to warrant use.

However, I don't believe I can do this all by my own. As a Sprite/Traditional Artist or Designer, I will not be able to produce content fast enough alone, and coding is far from my strongest point. These are the current possistions available, if anyone is interested in helping out with this project, please PM me. Thanks for reading :D.

Needed!

Programmer - Average to Skilled Ability: Needs to be able to use Game Maker 6 or such, or another structure of coding that is compatible with Windows.

Music Composer - Average to Skilled ability: Needs to be able to produce catchy tunes that are not 10 second loops in the style of the NES chiptunes.

Sound Effects Engineer- Any skill level: Needs to be able to produce NES style sound effects (The Woosh Woosh noises and such).


I'll update this whenever I can, till then, see you later :D.
]]> 21 Mar 2007 05:50:21 Troll's Tale Troll's Tale is an adventure game created by Al Lowe (Leisure Suit Larry, The Black Cauldron). An evil troll has hidden the treasures of the Dwarf King, and it is up to you to get them back!

Each screen featured a graphic and a menu of decisions. If you find the treasure, but the troll is on the screen at the same time, you would not be able to pick up the treasure.
]]> 19 Mar 2007 02:19:17 It's a Magical World I was walking in my back yard the other day and wishing I had a wonderland to explore like Calvin and Hobbes. It always seemed like they had miles and miles of forest and adventure waiting for them.
If this game ever gets finished (and I'm going into this with no experience at all, only ambition), it will be an adventure platformer similar to Seiklus and Knytt - though slightly more linear.

This game will be free as it is my tribute to Bill Watterson's work. I hope to have a working demo by June.

"It's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy...Let's go exploring!"
]]> 18 Mar 2007 09:34:43 Egoboo Egoboo is a top down rpg in the spirit of Nethack and other games of the Roguelike genre. It uses Open GL graphics and will have randomly generated maps and customizable characters. The objective of the project is to bring the fun and depth of roguelike gameplay, kicking and screaming, into the third dimension. It is still in development, but is at a playable state.
]]> 14 Mar 2007 10:06:20 Buried Alive You wake up in the darkness and have no idea where you are. Point and click to solve the puzzles and escape your terrible situation. Buried Alive is an "epic point and click adventure" that only the brave and cunning will be able to solve.
]]> 09 Mar 2007 05:44:04 U.G.o.D: Uber-Gauntlet of Doom To be decided.
]]> 07 Mar 2007 10:00:14 Ikachan Ikachan is a short side-scrolling adventure game from Pixel, the man that single handedly developed Cave Story. In Ikachan, you are a small squid-like creature which the game is named after, who has found himself in an unfamiliar area of the ocean and must work with its denizens to find a way out. Ikachan can swim around, and attack foes by thrusting and piercing them with his head.
]]> 03 Mar 2007 04:44:24 Interstellar Law Adventure games? You mean those things in the 80s? Right. But this is different. You just happen to be a crazy lawsuit fresh from Interstellar Law School. It's up to you, wether you'll protect the innocent or issue the worst scum bags of the galaxy with one way tickets to jail.

Get involved in two intriguing cases, playable from both the defense and prosecution. Creative and wacky piece of gaming bringing a twist to the now forgotten genre of adventure games.

Prologue Story
LuckyLupinLiman Studios

"We, the Musahsina beings - Masters of the elements, protectors of the world.
No evil dwells deep within us."

"The humans are becoming aware of their existence. These people are not like us.
Their souls twistable to their personal dark desires.
Their souls susceptible to the torments of their world."

"The apex of our control; the forms of Light and Dark magic.
Sealed within our most treasured relic."

"The Spiritbound Gem, in our hands can do nothing but good.
It grants us our livelihood. Our own creation."

"We have spread to the farthest corners of Essina, our Spiritbound gem locked away.
We are but Wise people in a disturbing world of men.
The few that survived the corrupting of the gem are in hiding.
Wherever they can hide from prying eyes."

"We know not what happens in the world today; nothing but humans being dominant.
I fear if we expose ourselves to them, our very nature will change. Maybe even destroyed."

]]> 19 Feb 2007 12:40:54 Dracula's Shadow This is a Castlevania fan game based off of Castlevania 2 : Simon's Quest. While the gameplay and structure is very similar to that game, the levels, world layout and objectives are almost entirely different. The game improves on the original formula by allowing you to control three different characters, mix potions, perform item crashes and more. In addition to Bloody Tears and the other songs from Castlevania 2, there is wealth of new music created for the game. Much of it is remixed songs from previous Castlevania games, although there are also entirely new tracks that would not be out of place in an official Castlevania adventure.

Please note that the Castlevania series, which this game is based, belongs to Konami. The author has such a disclaimer available on his webpage as well.

]]> 15 Feb 2007 12:18:11 Book and Volume
Your pager tickles you awake.

Upstairs in the house of your childhood, in your room, and it must be time for school because -- no, it's the weekend, you remember, but your alarm is going off anyway. You should have been awake already. You're going to miss the bus. Your mother climbs in the window. You're dreaming.

You're a grown-up: It opens to you again, a sluggish window summoned by a mouse click. Waking up now in your own apartment, your new apartment. Your pager is buzzing and vibrating both, serious. It is in fact the weekend, but you're not in elementary school. No one is crawling in through the window. You're a system administrator for nWare. Waking up urgently, here in nTopia.
]]> 10 Feb 2007 05:40:41 What Linus Bruckman Sees When His Eyes Are Closed A samurai is summoned to the land of the dead to rescue a fallen god. A young sassy alien finds out that his father's gambling addiction has placed the family's fortune and fast food chain at risk. In this unique adventure, you'll control both characters at once. Your actions are mirrored in both worlds, so think carefully before you make each move!
]]> 10 Feb 2007 05:27:45 Dead City "I've spent like three months...like million years in the madhouse. A trillion suicide attempts. And all the time just bad dreams...dreams about her dead eyes, blood and despair."

Short horror game written by NiHiLiS
]]> 10 Feb 2007 04:47:03 1213 A man lies in a darkened cell, consumed by pain and sickness. He does not know where he is. He does not know how he came to be there. He does not even know his own name. All he knows is that he is being tortured by a bizarre, bespectacled man, who addresses him only as a number - Twelve-Thirteen.

Every day, Twelve-Thirteen is taken out of his cell and goaded into running a dangerous hazard course, apparently for the sole amusement of the bespectacled man. Today seems to be no different. But while Twelve-Thirteen sits brooding in his darkened prison, the door suddenly falls open with no apparent cause. To discover the answers to all of his questions, Twelve-Thirteen must adventure into the unknown world beyond the cell...

It plays as an adventure game with a light mix of action thrown in. The health system is an interesting take on a typically HP-saturated market: as you take damage, the beating heart in the corner pumps faster, threatening death, and adding to the atmosphere. With a gripping storyline that far exceeds its meager graphical offerings, you'll find yourself entirely immersed in a game that alternates between terror, confusion, and an overarching ending that will haunt you.
]]> 10 Feb 2007 01:18:25 A Mini Falafel Adventure Episode 1 of a Gameboy-style platform adventure game. Collect ingredients to gain abilities and become the ultimate falafel.

Single screen, free-roaming gameplay, with an emphasis on exploration and gameplay progression.

This first episode will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. 5-6 if you know where you're going. 3 episodes are planned, which will be compiled into one story.

Originally this game was started as an entry for a Retro Remakes competition.
]]> 09 Feb 2007 11:33:45 NINJA nicky Specimen X-72 : EX-LARGE

The culmination of years of goverment research into creating a genetically enhanced turkey that would provide the food of twenty average sized birds while consuming only eight times as much. His intelligence increased thanks to gene manipulation, he became sentient to his plight and escaped, wrecking havoc over the country-side.

A year ago, a young boy stopped his menace. His name was Nicky.

Now that unholy terror has returned and kidnapped Nicky's friend Tad, a tadpole who received similar genetic splicing as him. Nicky will be forced to complete his ninjitsu training to find and defeat the fiend.

The game uses ASCII graphics that should work on nearly any PC available. The key repeat rate (see Windows -> Control panel) will need to be set fairly high to complete the later portions of the game. The game makes extensive use of the PC Speaker; be aware of this if on a system where such noise is immutable.

Nick primarily moves through a primitive map system, where he will move in one of four directions assuming he is not blocked by a wall. The "Select" button (space bar by default) will allow him to investigate specific areas.

Some scenes involve fighting by moving and using the select button to attack. Nick can hurt any character that is directly next to him.

The end of the game is an RPG battle which was influenced by Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger.
]]> 08 Feb 2007 08:56:34 total eclipse remake t is written that, in the heart of ancient Egypt hundreds on years ago, the High Priest of the day had become annoyed. His people were revolting and refused to continue the sacrifices to Re the God of Sun. His anger had erupted so he set an ominous curse as punishment to the people.

A great pyramid was erected and at the topmost chamber a shrine was built for Re the Sun-God. The curse was set. Should anything ever block the sun's rays during daylight hours it would be destroyed.

It is now 26th October, 1930 and in just 2 hours the moon will totally eclipse the sun, triggering the curse of Re, causing the offending moon to explode showering the Earth with colossal meteorites thus upsetting the ecological balance, and plunging civilisation into a dark age of starvation and conflict.

YOUR MISSION

It is 8 o'clock, you have just landed your bi-plane next to the great pyramid. Your mission is to reach and destroy the shrine of the Sun-God Re, which is located at the apex of the pyramid.

TREASURE

Collect as much as possible-you're gonna be rich! First day's target #125,000.
YOUR EQUIPMENT

  • A revolver -plus an ample supply of bullets.
  • Your wrist watch -the eclipse is due just before 10 o'clock.
  • A water bottle -keep this topped up-it is very hot! It is not healthy to be without water for long periods.
  • Your trusty compass -an essential item for succesful orientation.

The gfx are by me, the sounds are by me (including the grunts and oofs) and we got some very nice music made for us by the talented "infamous". The tough part is all by Edgar though, without him these games wouldn't happen.

    Collect fruits, find keys, press switches and open doors to make your way through the kastle. Dodge the twizzly boxes of doom, jump the lava and watch out for the traps. The remake did ok in the competition but the game turned out as great as i hoped. Its a joy to play, in fact only yesterday i played it through once again.

    We are now working on a version which includes the room editor for a collaborative project. A whole new set of user made rooms with some new twists and traps. Hopefully that'll be underway soon.
