Chasing the dream (with place-holder graphics)
« on: 25 May 2010, 20:59 »



Prologue:
It appears that after exactly 2.5 years, the team I've managed to gather to help out on this really made it. I hope this really gratifies all your wait on this project. It has been a really long way till here, and I think the final project might give you some joy. From the whole team, Have some great fun!!! Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Info:
Game is a remake of the original text-based game by Infocom released in 1984, however this is a point-and-click version.



Story:
Arthur Dent, wakes up with a terrible hungover from the late last night party at the pub, but his day isn't going to get any better.

As probably no one is interested in playing this game right now anyway, I recommend to rather read the philosophical dialogs of Mr James Spanos only just published at HardyDev. Especially since a good portion of people reading this thread is mentioned in them.

Infocom's version was one of the first adventure games I've ever played. The problem for me was, that I was 14 years old and my english was very bad, so I could not finish it. Anyway, I liked the mood of the game, especially as I've read the books.

Nice to see that there is a remake, I definitly will play it.

Snake has informed me that if you play this game while listening to Dark Side of the Moon from Pink Floyd, the songs match the game. Cheesy

kick out the jams, humans.

Voice acting: HELLO.Music: I can synthesize and MIDIferize at will.Story design: I can really help. But I'm sure you've got your own ideas. If not, ask me.Translating: Spanish, Czech, German and French miraculously become mildly embarrassing English or German if they haven't been German before.

This...is actually a game? Not only a jack-in-the-box installer that breaks my computer and then makes fun of me for not wearing a towel?

Great!
