Wow, looks very promising... and 35% of 50 makes 16 finished backgrounds, you are fast! Goof luck with this, and good luck this weekend with the soccer final. 

[Iv4n]

Niiice!

[TheYak]

I love the styling of the graphics.  The concept sounds intriguing as well.  I'm curious, though; is the resemblance to the English word "hemorrhoid" intentional?

[Mel_O_Die]

Thanks for your comments! think about visiting game's website and leaves some comments

i hope you will enjoy the final game (i'm working hard to do my best!)

I'm curious, though; is the resemblance to the English word "hemorrhoid" intentional?

huhu yes, it's an intentional "joke" (the french word is hémorroide) about the base concept of the character, "she's a little crazy girl who are allways where she's the most undesired" (sorry for my english) :d

be reassured, there will be no hemorrhoids or another bad taste things in the game

kyt_n8 good I mean great luck with this one!

It looks great, do you use some vector drawing program?
And Emma is so cute haha!

I am waiting for you to finish this, THANKS!

Thanks again ****

And for the drawings i begin to draw backgrounds on paper, and after numerisation i use photoshop pen tool with an enormous number of shapes (about 2.500 vector shapes in each parc background) and use selfmade brushes to get trees effects

a very big work, i spend approximatively 5hours for one bg :d

     Wow, this is the first time that I saw the thread for this game. The graphics are really amazing! I hope that you are still working on this project.....

Wow, this is the first time that I saw the thread for this game. The graphics are really amazing! I hope that you are still working on this project.....

Then you should have sent a PM as the forum rules state ... rather than digging up a thread that has been dead for over 3 months.

Mel_O_Die - I see you are still active on the site.  If you're still working on this game send me a PM if you wish to update this thread and I'll unlock it.

[CosmoQueen]

Hey this looks very interesting! Can't wait to see it finished.

[Mel_O_Die]

I'm still working hard on this game and hope to can have a demo soon!

I just updated the screenshots with the actual version of the game/graphics

[CosmoQueen]

[dsg_charly]

To my mind, considering screenshots and animated gifs you use, the whole thing is of a rare quality.

So keep up the great job.

[Mods]

This looks like an awesome game! Never saw this thread before, but it looks great so keep up the good work!

[Afflict]

This looks awesome!

A lot of promising games in the making!

[Mel_O_Die]

thanks again! see you soon for the release of the demo!!

[Mel_O_Die]

i'm really happy to advertise you about that:

after almost 6 months of hard working on it, i'm pleased to present my first demo!
i hope it's even more! this is a "long" demo for a standard gamer, it's nearly an "episode" but i don't want to "episode" my game =^0^'=

i hope you'll enjoy it!

leave me all your comments to help me for improving my game!
- bug reports
- suggestions
- bad english translation
- and what do you want!


thanks for you all for support me and helping me in the technicals forums!

[Nikolas]

Mel,

This is one AMAZING gem you got there! Presentation, story, graphics, music everything is amazingly done! It could very well be a commercial game!

The demo was somewhat short though... not sure what you're saying about the length and the "episode", still it was extremely rewarding!

I will e-mail you for more ideas...

Tu es magnifique! (f I remember my French correctly that is :S)

[SteveMcCrea]

Pretty nice demo! Thanks!
I recommend having the translation worked on by a native English speaker though
