I thought I'd spice things up with a new screenshot taken from BAD TIMING , my little point & click adventure in development.

Whadda ya think?

It looks good, but the explosion doesn't fit...
Maybe with outlines it would fit.... I dunno

Sorry to ruin your image

The image is good tho'.

The pics look good but, if I, humble moaners, can complain, two thing seems strange to me :
- the explosion look weird, I don' know it doesn't fit with the design of the rest of the picture
- the explosion doesn't seem to cast shadow or light on the wall but i'm not sure of this.

Apart from that i'm impressed by the style/

It looks good, though I wouldn't have guessed from this still that the orange thing is an explosion. (Is it?)

I hope the game as a whole turns out as well as the artwork. I can't wait for the playable demo.

Love the character!
I agree with others however, that the explosion doesn't fit the drawing style (don't know how it looks in motion though). Maybe it would look better to use simple "cartoon" hand-drawn explosion (with outlines, etc.).

Erwin_Br · 12-07-2002, 12:47 PM

Yeah, I'm not satisfied with the explosion either. It's not the outlines that's the problem, in my opinion, because I'm not using outlines throughout the game either.

I think the explosion looks better when it's in motion but still not quite good enough.

I've made another scene today and I'm a bit more satisfied about that one. Here's another screenshot:

I don't know the word in english so 'ill say it in french:
comme ça tue!!!!
trans :
This can definitely be considered as a beautiful-I say- marvelous!, piece of art that just seems to want to get out of the screen and says ' eyh, i'm from a kickass game'. Definitely

Igor S1 · 12-08-2002, 04:00 PM

Yep, i'm definitely looking forward to Bad Timing

Any news on demo?

Thanks

Well, I've got material for a demo but I'm the kind of guy that is never satisfied and so I keep changing stuff time after time. I've been through six EGO's already and some rooms have been redrawn 3 times.

I'm afraid to release a demo too soon and that the quality could've been better.

I think I'll release a demo when the entire project's at 35% completed or so. How long that takes? I have no idea...

Hehe, sounds familiar. I have often the same problems

Anyway, i really hope the demo will come out soon... I need a new cartoon-adventure fix... now!

Wow, the first image really inspired a lot of thinking. I've already made up a little scene in my mind.

The game is gonna play on board a space ship, isn't it? I'd love that. You don't get that many sci-fi adventures. The commercial Orion Conspiracy and the Star Trek adventures are the only ones I can think of. edit ... and Space Quest, of course.

Erwin_Br · 12-20-2002, 01:14 PM

It's going to be a comedy scifi adventure, but not a spoof (like SpaceQuest was)

Around 35% of the game will be on board of a ship, indeed. Other locations include some different planets, earth in the future, aboard a huge space station and much more.
