]]> 13 Jun 2007 12:21:01 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 Fierce Talon Fierce Talon is a classic adventure game that draws heavily in style, setting and mood from old film-noir movies and science-fiction. You play Preston, a low-class private detective in the lowest part of the three layered Dome City. You haven't been very successful with your own investigation office, so you end up doing the cases of paranoid wives or husbands who wants more information on the doings and whereabouts of their significant others. Not really what you thought it would be...
]]> 02 Jun 2007 01:06:02 Nearly Departed Nearly Departed is a graphic adventure that puts you in control of a guy who has recently become a zombie. Having no idea how you became a zombie, you must explore the city and find out who you were and what happened. The game is reminiscent of old Lucas Arts cartoon adventure games. Nearly Departed is still in development and does not yet have a set release date.
]]> 24 May 2007 06:01:43 Transformers Transformers: The Game is a video game based on the 2007 Transformers movie. Activision and Traveller's Tales are currently developing the game, which allows people to play as either one of nine Autobot or Decepticons including characters not in the film.

There may be different play styles and abilities depending on the platform of choice.
]]> 11 May 2007 04:26:56 Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations (also known as Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations and Phoenix Wright 3) is the third instalment in the Ace Attorney series of games for the Nintendo DS. It will be released in the United States in September 2007.

The game was released in Japan under the name Gyakuten Saiban 3 on the Gameboy Advance in January 2004 and the PC in March 2006.

Category: Point-and-click adventure (lawyer 'em up)

Release Dates: January 23, 2004 (JP), September 27, 2007 (US)

Developer: Capcom
]]> 20 Apr 2007 08:31:06 Sinister Spy in: The Dimensiadventure Sinister Spy is your average, freelance, Russian spy. But one day his best friend George gets kidnapped, sucked into an alternate reality by a mysterious villain! Now, Sinister Spy must go on a quest across time and space and alternate realities to get his friend back and save the world.

This game will be episodic, digitally distributed over seven months with seven episodes, the first being free and the rest being $6-$10 (an absolute price will be decided on closer to release). It plays like a classic LucasArts adventure, cartoony and humorous with outrageous (but logical!) puzzles and 3rd-person point-and-click gameplay.

What makes it unique is the amazing depth of story and characters, the humor injected into every bit, the stunning 3D backgrounds and locales, and the classic adventure gameplay we never seem to find in newer games.
]]> 07 Apr 2007 07:49:30 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 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 U.G.o.D: Uber-Gauntlet of Doom To be decided.
]]> 07 Mar 2007 10:00:14 Theseis Andonicos Kalogerou is a man devoted to science and the war against superstition. From his office in the historic centre of Athens, he has worked diligently for more than 5 years, travelling all over Greece and revealing the paranormal for what it truly is: drunken fantasies and uneducated hysteria. But his intelligible, safe little world is going to come crushing down when a call from Pheve, his adopted sister and fervent advocate of the mythic, informs him that his step-father is not only missing, but presumed dead as well. With a heavy heart, Andronicos travels to the place of his childhood, high atop the Greek mountains, to bury an empty coffin and reunite with his quarrelsome step-sister. Little does he know that each step irrevocably brings him and Pheve closer to what Destiny has in store for them. For the death of their stepfather heralds the beginning of the greatest struggle between good and evil with the prize being nothing less than the very future of this world.

From the hidden network of caves beneath the Greek metropolis, crawling with the remnants of a bygone age and the treasures of the past, to long lost places of legend all over Greece, Andronicos and Pheve struggle to uncover the pieces of an ancient conspiracy, kept secret through stealth and murder. But what they find could well be just the tip of the iceberg. For beneath the cover of shadows and time, a great power lay dormant, waiting for the time when it will once again come forth to the light of day, back amongst the people where it belongs.

Awe and dread, humor and split-second decisions, discovery and betrayal, the mythical and the mundane, are all intertwined in this fast paced crossing to the other side, where your only allies are the discarded rumors of ancient folklore, dubious medieval books and above all your wits!


Features

-A griping storyline that places you in a Greece full of marvel, danger and back-stage scheming, just beneath the surface of everyday life.

- Play with both Andronicos and Pheve as they race against men and monsters to uncover the secret of Theseis.

- Frantic action and intriguing puzzles. Challenge both speed and wit in every corner of this dark fantasy world.

- Colorful characters and localities, ranging from neo-classical buildings to the grim depths of Hades.

- Innovative customized new power graphic engine, built specially to portray the full glory of Theseis' stunning environments.

- Dynamic original music score.

- For PC and Xbox 360.

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."

]]> 12 Feb 2007 05:49:13 The Underside the underside is an exploration based action platformer in the vein (it's a pun~) of games like castlevania, metroid, and cave story. however, unlike most other games in this genre, the gameplay is driven more by plot than by free-roaming exploration (though the world is fully explorable).

the game's graphics and engine are (believe it or not) completely original. the game's engine is written in clickteam's multimedia fusion 2, while the graphics are done in humanbalance's graphicsgale.

the music is written by both me (arthur lee), and my close friend, j. michael brown. done in fruityloops using the 3xosc plugin as well as tweakbench's toad and peach vsts, the game's soundtrack has a real retro feel to it.
the game's plot revolves around a character named 'ip' who must escape from the underside, and maybe prevent the world from being destroyed while he's at it. the game's world, characters, plot strands, and dialogue are heavily inspired by earthbound, and are quirky, whimsical, and sometimes a little strange.

the gameplay is very fast based -- a lot more akin to games like megaman or metal slug rather than metroid or cave story in terms of pacing.
]]> 11 Feb 2007 04:25:52 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 Assassin's Creed The game takes place during the Third Crusade, exact year 1191. The gamer plays as a member of the assassin sect Hashshashin known as Altair (Arabic, "The Flyer") whose objective is to assassinate the nine historical figures who are propagating the Crusades, and the suffering of the people. As the gamer finds and kills these targets, their conspiracy is unveiled. The player will be able to travel through three cities, Jerusalem, Acre, and Damascus. The environment is completely interactive, from the people to the historically accurate cities. These cities are populated by many people and the way the player controls Altair affects how people around him react to his presence. For example, when going through a crowd, if the player lightly moves someone out of the way, it will not have a significant effect. However, if the player throws someone to the ground and kills them, the crowd may unite against him and he will then have to find a way out. Similarly, if the player shoves a person aside, they may shove him back. If he climbs walls, civilians will gather around, attracting unwanted attention from guards.

]]> 21 Jan 2007 12:27:32 The Forgotten Element

Lemmy & Binky Present


From the Journals of Doctor Carter


"Something is terribly wrong with Seahorse Island.

It's about a thirty suns now since the crops and trees began to wither and die. It has been raining for what seems like an eternity, but the rain does nothing to nourish the soil. The leaves have been gone from the trees outside my office for many suns now. The trees look like twisted corpses. I don't recall ever seeing such a sight as I do now as I write this.

Farmer Haywood has stockpiled the remaining grain, and has begun rationing it to the town. It should last us a while, but what then?

Mr. Clancy came to visit me today. He is looking for a woman--an "evil and manipulative creature" is how he put it--a mainlander spy, incredibly dangerous, and should I see or hear word of her I should report to him immediately.

It may be my imagination but I seem to be seeing a lot of people around town I don't recognise lately. Out of the corner of my eye, just stood in the shadows--watching. The townsfolk seem to pay them no heed, which I find odd given their inherent xenophobic nature -- or (dare I say it?) am I seeing things? Has the madness that is spreading across our fair island started to affect my mind also?"

Game Information


The Forgotten Element will be released completely free of charge. This is a labour of love and we have no intention of making money from it. The full game is split as such:

Prologue
Act I
Act II
Act III

The complete three act game will be comparable in length to commercial point-and-clicks, with each part being released as and when they are completed. The prologue will feature approx 1 - 1.5 hours of gameplay.

Once the game is finished, we will also be releasing all plug-ins and ALL art assets so people can use them as they wish in their own games. Our only limitation on their use is that they not be used in commercial games.

]]> 27 Dec 2006 09:14:08 BioShock
The idealistic surroundings and grim reality are constantly at odds.

Often touted as the "Spiritual successor to System Shock 2", BioShock is a long awaited fps in development by Irrational Games, with lead designer Ken Levine promising to advance the definition of first person shooters.

As a likely 2007 release grows closer more screenshots and trailers are being released, and one thing that's apparent is a gorgeous environment, seemingly inspired in great part by the art deco period of the last century.

Game overview and features as reported at the official site
BioShock is a revolution in the shooter genre that will forever change the expectations for the FPS. Going beyond "run and gun corridors," "monster-closet AIs" and static worlds, BioShock creates a living, unique and unpredictable FPS experience. BioShock is the Shooter 2.0.

After your plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea. Constructed as an idealistic society for a hand picked group of scientists, artists and industrialists, the idealism is no more. Now the city is littered with corpses, wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as little girls loot the dead, and genetically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn.


Features:

  • Take control of your world by hacking mechanical devices, commandeering security turrets and crafting unique items critical to your very survival.
  • Upgrade your weapons with ionic gels, explosives and toxins to customize them to the enemy and environment.
  • Genetically modify your body through dozens of Plasmid Stations scattered throughout the city, empowering you with fantastic and often grotesque abilities.
  • Explore a living world powered by Ecological A.I., where the inhabitants have interesting and consequential relationships with one another that impact your gameplay experience.
  • Experience truly next generation graphics that vividly illustrate the forlorn art deco city, highlighted by the most detailed and realistic water effects ever developed in a video game.
  • Make meaningful choices and mature decisions, ultimately culminating in the grand question: do you exploit the innocent survivors of Rapture...or save them?

Developer: Irrational Games
Publisher: 2K Games
Released: currently targeted for August 2007 release!

System Requirements
To be announced.

In motion, the water effects are truly amazing. In fact, Irrational has someone on staff whose sole job is to handle water effects - everything from the fountains and ripples to the distortion of the fish beneath the surface.

What type of creature are you,
Where are you searching with your life,
Seeking power, lust, truth, nothing,

These we can give,
You who tread where forgotten gods sleep,
We ask for but a trifle,

Open the gate



UnEarthed Gods is a PC Role Playing Game being developed by Clint Brewer. If you would like to know more about Unearthed Gods or UnEarthed Games, send questions to Clint, or comment here.

To be notified when the game is available: Take a potato, cut it in half and insert a small piece of garlic in one half(it's important the piece is small...but not too small!), bind this in animal skin and bury it on an open hillock facing south.

The down and dirty:
This has been in development in a while. There is still a good deal of work to do to finish this and I'm reevaluating how I can best do this. Right now I'm planning on a more focused version. Focusing on the action of hand to hand weapons combat, and less on the magic casting and deep role playing aspect. There will still be magic but not the more complex type I have been planning for. Any feedback you can give me about what you think given the little you've seen will help me direct the future development. Your comments are most appreciated!

Thanks for taking a look!
