Looking good! But I demand a minstrel somewhere! 

@heltenjon I know jokes don't get better if you explain them, but please help me out with that so I can learn something.

Explanation in spoiler tags:

Basically, it's a famous quote from the King James Bible translation. The King James Bible is written in a sort of "high speak", old English. It's what Jesus says to the Devil when tempted, and also what he says to St. Peter when Peter suggests taking an easy way out. In Norwegian it's translated into something like "Go away from me, Satan." Perhaps the German translation is more in tone with the Norwegian one?

In the book, it's used in the opposite way, the dog (hell hound) who says it, wants to shield Satan from oncoming harm, if I recall correctly.

You could compare it with if someone in a modern German work talked like they were from a different century throughout a long story just to be able to deliver a famous quote from Goethe in a setting where that would be the normal thing to say.

In the Steven Brust novel To Reign in Hell, one of the characters talks in old English the entire novel, just to be able to deliver a hilarious line far into the book.

In order to protect Satan, he says "Get Thee behind me, Satan!"

Another demo from the archive is Ed's Gravedigger Demo. Short and unfinished, but cool integration of 3d through avi and even a rough combat prototype in the final scene.

Some may remember the sadly unfinished Longevity Gene. The Demo is here.

And a third classy demo is The Day of the Testicle.

Ponch has some stuff not in the database. Barn Runner 0: The Case of the Runaway Robot is a short game/demo, and it can be found at http://www.barnrunner.com/barn0.html

Does anyone have Waffle Quest? The version on AGS depository sadly lacks the executable.

We've had it before in the thread.

Oh, bummer. I guess I don't watch enough tv.

Snarky, you have it. (Or I can try to come up with something else. Your choice.)

Noone? I was afraid this was going to be too easy.

That's great! Are there more songs from this hob-noblin ensemble in the game? That dragon looks big! I guess he's got a huge treasure to steal. 

I found it with Google, but I consider that cheating, so I won't post an answer. Apparently the High Tollah pictured in the last screenshot was a jab at the ayatollah regime then taking power in Iran.

Looks like you're making a good foundation here. Interesting project!

Hello, Velocirection, and welcome to the forums! Looking forward to seeing your in production thread. I'm sure there are lots of AGS users like you out there, tinkering on their own. If our friendly community can help in any way, be sure we will! 

Next one:

Daggerhell?

 

Congratulations! Well deserved!

I remember The Mousetrap from a London visit back in 1988. I liked it a lot at the time, but of course I was young then, and the actors very good, delivering the humour brilliantly, while the play itself felt like a game with the audience. Can you guess who the killer is? I remember the cast came out and spoke to the audience after some rounds of applause, telling us to please keep the murderer's identity a secret, in order not to spoil the play for future audiences.

I watched it later with amateurs in my home village, in a Norwegian version, which was okay, but nowhere near the London version for me. My friends rather liked it anyway.

I think the Mousetrap must be seen for what it is, a guessing-game with the audience. As always, having good actors will make such a play work. I still remember the body language of the London troupe, giving clues and/or false leads not directly conveyed in the dialogue.

I don't really think it will make a good movie. Even though I liked Hitchcock's Rope, as one of few (?), I think it's a better suit for the stage.

I think people aren't leaving comments because there isn't new stuff that's easily commentable (if that's a word). It looks good in the initial screenshots, and sounds nice with more tunes and translations, but without seeing or hearing it, I for one don't know what new to say. But I am looking forward to the game. There could be more Clock Towers in the world. 

Perhaps the screenshots are on your social pages, but I generally won't follow those links. And if I did, it would be more natural to comment or like where the screenshot was posted.

Charlie's Angels?

Dangerous Liaisons?

Yes, me too. I had to choose reply with quotes, then copy the youtube url manually.

Edit: The link is https://youtu.be/B1RJuF0zr2U

The video looks so good! This will be a lot of fun, I'm sure of it!
