Seguso's Adventure Game Thread

I will just let you argue with yourself here

@seguso

I know some won’t like it.

@seguso

I really hate when the story evolves

@seguso

the game will be constantly changing even after release, for at least 1 year, especially adding jokes. Maybe even graphics and subplots.

@seguso

But then there’s no point releasing in two parts…

[seguso]

Ok, you convinced me. I mean… I convinced me.

[seguso]

So, to be completely clear about what I have decided here… the game will be released all together. Is that it?

[Guga]

@seguso

THE VERY SAME!

@seguso

The very same!

@seguso

(the very same!)

So, do we have the game title there?

[seguso]

Lol! That will surely be the name of the sequel, if I ever make one!

[seguso]

I changed this location… I think it’s pretty final now:

[seguso]

A few locations I forgot to post here… How many do you recognize?

[tasse-tee]

I really like the light reflecting off the water in the second one! And how colourful the third one is. Great work!

[seguso]

Thank you Tasse

I have to say the hardest part is the integration between charater and background… Sometimes it’s very hard to find a model for character faces, and then putting them in the right pose.

As to that, I still have to characterize a few characters that you don’t know, since you only played the first part: the Dragon, Heracles Perrot, The King, The Twelve Graduates, Olivia’s father, The Countess, Mr. Higgins, the Wizard of the East, the Golem, The Pope, Sir Manso de Zuniga, a mysterious little girl, a couple more that will be easy, and lastly the undead pirate Gaetano O’Connor, which I think will be similar to LeChuck :).

@seguso

How many do you recognize?

The first three only. The last one looks familiar, but I don’t remember a dog… or do I?
Ah yes, I do! I just remembered the puzzle there (based on the background) and how that dog… SPOILER

[seguso]

Dammit, that picture is a spoiler. Everybody please unsee it!

Edit… No, after all it isn’t a spoiler… you don’t know how you got that dog there.

They have improved very much!

[seguso]

“Help me, Olivia! My son has been kidnapped!”

“GOOD! I mean… don’t worry, Madam, I’ll rescue him!”

“thank you dear! Can you bring him in time for supper?”

[seguso]

For this character’s face, I took the eyes of Ron Gilbert! But (as he strangely wasn’t grumpy enough), I took the mouth from someone else

[tasse-tee]

@seguso

For this character’s face, I took the eyes of Ron Gilbert!

Ooooo, there’s a potential for a pun / in-joke there!

[seguso]

but no fourth-wall breaking in this game There are references to our world, but the characters won’t understand them

• “Go to chop the wood.”
• “But I am only 6!”
• “Go to chop the wood!!!”
• “OK.”
  
  I wanna play your adventure again!

[tasse-tee]

Chopping the wood was actually the very last thing I did in part 1 of the game. Take that, Olivia’s mum!

(It was the last puzzle I figured out how to solve.)

[seguso]

@ZakPhoenixMcKracken

• “Go to chop the wood.”
• “But I am only 6!”
• “Go to chop the wood!!!”
• “OK.”

Let’s not forget that everything started with “Mom, I’m bored”:

OLIVIA: “Mom, I’m bored”
MOM: “What was it you said, dear?”
OLIVIA: “I said I’m bored.”
MOM: “Go chop the wood, then. You’ll see you’ll no longer be bored.”

In this light, the Mom’s response seems perfectly reasonable and completely deserved, doesn’t it?

(That is basically my reaction when my daughter tells me she’s bored)
