Ben 304, a creator this particular lair and its reader seem to be incredibly fond of, has been a busy little AGS developer and -a mere 40 days since the excellent <3- went on and released the demo of his latest project: City. You can freely download it here and marvel at its excellent graphics, rich world, subtle political comments, weird cyber-gothic stabs at poetry, brilliant music, witty dialog, interesting characters and elegant point-and-click interface. Oh, and if you simply have to know, this promising piece of work also features the talents of captain Nemo and egalotron. And it's set in some sort of almost dystopian future.
On a totally unrelated note, demo versions of fully functioning cities (metropolises even) might not be the best idea ever, but a demo version of Berlin definitely sounds intriguing.
Awesome! Will definitely play this if I get time, partly because it's your recommendation, partly because it's by Ben, and mostly because of "weird cyber-gothic stabs at poetry"! :=D
ReplyDeleteAnd I sincerely hope you enjoy it oh cyber-gothic Captain, my captain.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the lovely article and most useful feedback you provided earler, neo cyber-gothic Gnome friend! Both are very appreciated.
ReplyDeleteOh, but its a mere sign of neo cyber-gothic camaraderie dear Ben. Keep up the excellent work!
ReplyDeleteDon't want to come out as an obnoxious nagger or anything, but just to clear any possible confusion the most right way to credit me is qptain Nemo. First word in lowercase, no underscore, q instead of ca. Unfortunately I can't change the internal AGS forums id, so that confusing difference will stick there for some while.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it's not really a big deal, I'm pretty happy to be mentioned as it is. Thanks and cheers!
Thanks for dropping by and commenting qptain Nemo. Sorry about misspelling your name, but -to my defense and as you noted yourself- it's the AGS forums fault. Wont happen again. Oh, and do keep up the excellent work!
ReplyDeleteThank you gnome for your kind words. I'll try my best. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's great to hear. Cheers qptain!
