THAT was THE video I needed to see... thanks! Now, I can delete my old comment on the other video :-D

Hey there, thanks for your Devlogs - pretty inspiring so far. I'm quite interested if you had to script something aside you're using AC for your game. I ask you because I'm more of a Designer insteed of a Developer.

You saved me, i didn't know why my npc wasn't working in unity AC, but your video was very helpful, so thanks

Let me know if you require female (Canadian accent) voice/ acting!

You talk so dismissively, but you seem to have a similar standard of quality that I do. Though your work ethic seems superior since it took you far less time to finish this game than it's taking me to finish my book.

Never played a Wadjet game, but respect him and his story, ‘grats! Inspiring

I think part of the appeal in point & click games is being able to be a tourist in an imagined world. When I travel to other parts of the real world I want to be exposed to sights, sounds, smells, flavours, feelings, places and people that I can’t experience at home. I think good P&C games capture some of that feeling, and the more detailed and specific that experience can be, the more engaging it is.

Stoked I’m gonna try and send in some voice auditions for the casting call!

Keep up the great work, thanks for making the mistakes so I can make fewer. It is appeeciated

Great vid, might inspire me to add diagonal walks to ma boi

Having just played through the Director's cut of Kathy Rain, and watching this video, my main take away is "Wait, you can right click to get other options?".

I can't believe you didn't include "Slice of Sea" when it released the day after you uploaded this.

thank you for this video!

Do you have any tips on how you went about writing your game? I have a small idea for an adventure game but struggling with the story.

Wishlisted! I think the cutaway animation for combination is brilliant!!

Thank you so much for posting this. As someone starting out in gamedev, I hope to see you on the other side!

When creating adventure game backgrounds, my first instinct was to draw them in perspective, as one does when they're drawing anything really. But there quickly came a problem. Since I was working with 2d graphics and 2d characters, unless my rooms were very shallow (as yours seems to be here), the characters look wrong when walking into the background. I could scale them as they walked further away, but then I was losing detail in my nice animations and it became really difficult to line things up properly. I quickly started drawing backgrounds basically orthographic or isometric, but hinting at the presence of perspective in a way that was convincing enough. This way I wouldn't have to scale my characters at all. It largely required I keep the horizon line above the top of the screen, so in none of my rooms can you actually see the ceiling at all.

in my case, your theory is totally right.

This was a really good format for a tutorial!

I used to love this genre, but I don't have the patience anymore. I think monkey island on PS2 was the last one I played.

Will there be a month in the life of indie game dev?

Had another thought. You were always intending to have other people doing the voiceovers for the NPCs, right? And that didn't make it any less a game made by you. Sure, hiring out for sounds and art means there's more people putting work into this game than just you, but the *gameplay* itself, the design of the puzzles, and building it all out, that's still all you.

I like that the new backdrops are quite similar to the old ones, and it's very clearly still your original design, just with a bit more polish.

I do quite like that UI! The new inventory looks very cool, and the single-click interactions make more sense to me

I mean, it worked. I started watching your videos (beginning with the one on puzzle dependency charts) because I want to make a point and click game. And by this point I also want to play your game specifically, without even knowing much of the plot. (and also several of the others you've had on screen lol. they also look fun)

Multiconsole?

Lovely

It will save you time to put your perspective grid on a different layer instead of erasing it when you you draw those little posts in the background

I loved these games growing up because you aren’t in any hurry, in no rush. You can slow down, take your time. Enjoy the world, the art, the story, the writing. When these came out in their peak in the 90s, there was nothing quite like it for story telling.

Added on Steam, good luck man!

I agree with the cozy argument fully, I'd just like to add that these games also affected me emotionally exactly like a piece of art should. I mean the Broken Sword and The Longest Journey specifically. I don't get this from any other kind of game, it's just incomparable. What I remember the most about these games is emotion.

Gran video!

feels like intro of hot fuzz... soo good

you've got this

I bought all the Wadjet Eye games... This people and their crew are pure gold. I enjoyed the games like I was back on 80s 90s. Totally based, bringing old school P&C to the game industry again.

OMG! The plant that is always dying is a Peace Lily and it's the most dramatic plant we've ever had. We can get away with watering our plants once a week (summer), twice a week (winter). But not with this guy. Oh no! If you put it in a direct sun and it's a sunny day it will be dramatic the next day. If you put it away from direct sun it will be dramatic after 3-4 days. Surprisingly it's being dramatic but it still hasn't died (our experience). So if you like a little drama in your dev game shed you can try to water it more frequently. I use my unfinished glass of water every now and then. If you are no drama plant people I would highly recommend Zamioculcas plant. It's very hardy and it's leaves look thick and healthy. It's likes having no space in the pot and does not like frequent watering. I,ve also noticed you have Sansevieria -also good choice. It's also hardy but needs more watering than Zamioculcas. Sansevieria comes with many different colors. You might find some that you will like. Anyway say "hi, drama queen" from me to your Peace Lily ❤.

Syberia- The World Before- Adventure gaming at its pinnacle!

Hi, greetings from Czech Republic. Wishlisted and wish you a luck!

I agree with the overall sentiment, and of course we all have our own relationships with these games - but I disagree that you really only ever remember the overly difficult puzzles. I find that I remember the ones that give me a little trouble, but that I figured out myself. Like pirate insults in MI or finding a way out that hotel in BS. Or how about working out details about a scene in The Case of the Golden Idol - that one in particular connects the 'puzzles' directly into the story. Without those little reward nuggets the games wouldn't be enjoyable. So one thing can't really live without the other. The stories need the puzzles and the puzzles need the stories.

Atosphere is key to a good point and click game. Grim Fandango, Broken Sword, The Journy Down all have enviroments that are dripping with atmosphere and charm.

I was just watching to get an overall idea if I liked your approach, and then came the idea to improve puzzle designs by tossing out every day items for a hollowed-out owl carcass with piss on fire and I immediately subscribed and started listening.

Really appreciate you making this video it has helped me so much.

I've put a game and two demos on steam, always forget how to do it in between, and am always amazed that I managed to work it out! Once it's done it does work well enough, but they do not make it easy.

I feel your pain!

How are you handling voice acting? i figure that would be a large roadblock / expense for an indie dev. Seems a lot of people who make a point n click get someone like wadjet eye to publish who probablly handle the voice work? might be an idea to talk about that for future vid!

Brilliant to see how awesome this character looks, especially in all the angles. Now you've done it, how much longer did it take to add them all?
