Shifted (a Halloween game)

Well, it may be released a couple days after Halloween, but you get the idea. ._.

I'm basically re-doing Crisis Angel from the ground up for a more mystery-themed game. I've got about 75% of the background art done, 30% of the sprites, and perhaps about 20% of the special CG. Right now I have more pictures than story, but that's okay. I dropped the Mina and Nanobi characters because they were very annoying.

Once I finish the first draft, I'll post a demo version which will mostly have no art (there are intermittant images where I've been testing effects and animations and the like) and perhaps a couple of sounds here and there.

I'll be making leftover CG and sprites freely available once the game is done. (Things that got removed or dropped.)

Hmmm, when is Halloween actually? :? *scratches head*
I hope it's soon though... ^_^

About the demo, I think if you know you'll release the full game within a few months, maybe there's no need for a graphics-free demo. I will speak for myself here, but I'll most probably end up playing the text demo and maybe missing on some of the atmosphere (graphics, music) that you had prepared for the final game. Re-playing the demo parts with graphics isn't the best if you know what happens and all. It's just a thought. :?

It's the last day of October.
October 31st.
So it'd be not this Monday coming up but the one after (if you know what I mean!).

Good luck with your project. Nice idea to make a game for an ocassion like Halloween.

Although I will probably end up releasing it a month late or something -_- ... will have something done by Halloween though.

How's the game coming along? Have you decided to put it on the back burner for a bit?

Yeah, I've been doing other stuff, like playing Black and White 2 and Planetarian. Don't worry, I'll try to have it finished in time for Nanoreno 2006, the introductory category.
