Hey @LostTrainDude

1) Great suggestion, I will ask the question when clicking New Game! Oh, the tutorial is a module, and each click type is disabled before their respective text is shown (there's and if before processClick that goes like if(TutorialModule.isRightClickDisabled()) return ). The idea was that the tutorial can be enabled in any level - the why will be explained in the Future.

2) Ok, ditched actionPopups, tried something different now, I thinks it breakes the immersion less:


3) Thanks, will reduce info dumps. And nice website! Bookmarked!

4) The mouse icons are context based. They surely will be needed for joystick support in the future (with different graphics) but I am not sure too on they being available for mouse. I guess I will ditch them for mouse later on.

Thanks for the feedback!

Gameplay Video (with comments)
Warning: the video contains the first 7 minutes of gameplay, if you want to be in without having any idea on the game, don't watch.

Hello everyone,

We decided it's a smart decision to share the gameplay of the game we are making and get feedback on what we are doing. Below are some questions, maybe someone has some ideas for one or all of them.

1 - I want to target the game for people who likes point and click adventures, but I want the game to be able to introduce to someone who has never played anything in the genre to it. Is this basic first level making sense?

2 - The action popus explained in the video, are they a good or bad idea? Are they a good idea but they need to be implemented differently? I came up with them because people playing the game couldn't grasp in the first ten minutes the right click and left click functions (look/interact). Jumping in mario is obvious because mario jumps!

3 - Are the dialogs too long or are they good in size?

4 - Suggestions on the basic UI? I am planning on re skin the BASS template and add some buttons for the phone menu.

5 - Any other comments, or ideas or encouragement is also appreciated!

Oh, and the video has subtitles, we noticed some voice was hard to understand but the world was too noisy to re-record the audio.

Hello!

Small update here, showing the process an idea becomes a sketch, mock-up and gets coded inside the game, the idea here being the game menu as a part of the game itself.

Also, in YouTube, you need at least 100 subscribers to get a pretty url that's easy to type for the channel, so please subscribe to our channel!

I Wonder what people who releases games on Steam does or if it's not needed at all and users are ok with it. 

Apparently CAcert can provide free certification and using the signtool I can apply the certificate afterwards. I am a newbie on Windows coding, but mostly googling refers to visual studio... Is it possible to do this from AGS on the build phase?

Hey,

Every time I test my game on Windows 10, when it tries to run, it defaults to Not Run for me. And then I have to do a small click in the box and then have to tell it's safe to run the game or the winsetup for config.

Is it possible to make the game.exe file and maybe also the winsetup.exe trusted executables? And is there a way to configure the Publisher Name ?

Thanks!

Hey rongel! I like this game premise a lot! Re read the Cthulu mythos in a pretty book recently last week and I really like your screenshots. Your art reminds me of  Edward Hopper's Nighthawks. You seem to be advancing fast, which is awesome! I really want to play your game!

Hey guys! So here's a small update, this time I wanted to show the game music!

Hey,

is it just me, or the embedded youtube videos appear as text now instead of being embedded ?

"[embed=x,y] video link [/embed]" are the ones I am referencing... Like here: Blackwell Epiphany trailer embedded.

Guys you are all great, thanks for the positive responses! This community is awesome!

The release date is a bit in the future, I know. We have already planned the whole game, we broke it in how many AGS rooms we are going to have, and extrapolated the time to end development from the time we spent in each room we already developed, so hopefully this is reasonably realistic.

The game interface will allow the player to interact and look using the mouse, and have an inventory to store and use items, we started from the BASS template and have been iterating from there. The game resolution is going to be 320x180, so it will scale nice in 16:9 screens.
