Finally the game engine is complete but that does not mean that the work is done. Where there is at least one line of code there must be a bug. And there are many, many lines of code here :) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are testing the game for different browsers and trying to improve its performance on them. We are also waiting for one very important aspect of the game, but I don't want to jinx it by talking about it. There is light in the tunnel and we are closing in on it. </div>

Thank You all for Your comments and advices concerning the translation. At first I decided to translate the whole text in english myself, no matter how broken the results would be, hoping that some good soul would find mercy on me and fix it after the game release. It was not the best option, for some time you all would have to endure my efforts in english translation, but it was the only I got. Until recently... Great news! We found our translator, or rather she found us. Maria Barć is back on board. She did such a good job in "A Grain of Truth" and is working very hard right now to fix my english. OK, I will be honest with You guys. She translates the whole thing from scratch. Faith in humanity restored, faith in my english falling :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Still working on the engine and music. Will keep you updated.</div>

The game is almost finished. The scenario is written, the graphics all done and we are now coding it all in the game engine. But there is one thing missing. English translation. With the "A Grain of truth" game we were given a helping hand by Maria Barć, but unfortunatelly we lost contact with her (if You are reading this Maria please contact us :) ). We could really us some help in translating the game from polish to english. The game is quite long (about 80pages of script) so it would be a lot of work but the alternative is playing the game with broken english as pretty as this blog.</div>

To paraphrase the words of Mark Twain: The raports of the death of the game are greatly exaggerated :) We are still there and we are still working, and we have an in-game image to proof it. But the only anwser we can give for: "when it will be ready?" is: when it's ready :)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Wow,
the time flies quickly these days. I'm sorry I was not writing any
posts lately but during the past months me and my brother had so many
discussions about the game, how it should look and work, about lots
of other different projects that we were not sure about the future of
the Trader of Stories and did not wanted to bother You with our
constantly changing ideas. We tried to be careful in what we share
with You as many sketches, early game graphics, scripts, game engines
were discarded by us and thrown away. But after all this brainstorm
we think we have come to a conclusion. We are still in a very early
stage of development here but after reading from You that You are
losing hope for Myosotis and her adventure our hearts broke and we
just could not stand still. </span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">We
don't want to give away too many secrets, especially so early,
therefore we are leaving an image form the game without any comments
:)</span></span></div>

Hi everyone. after more than a year I decided to write a post here, on the Trader of Stories blog. So for taking so long but many changes took place in our lives and we simply didn't have time to update. Putting it all in a nutshell - fatherhood can be very time consuming :) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are currently working on a next episode of the Trader of Stories, taking place right after A Grain of Truth. In between singing lullabies and changing diapers I'm writing a detailed script. I really can say when I will finish. Parenthood is a new experience for me :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
P.S. Some of You ask about the demo "Trader of Stories" and if we will finish it. The truth is that the game "A Grain of Truth" was a reboot of the series. We wanted to tell the story more detailed and divide it into episodes for better and faster sharing with gaming community. Saying that You can guess the next episode I'm talking about will take place in Myosotis home village.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

The whole scenario is constructed, the dialogs written (special thanks to Maria Barć), the graphics drawn and the music composed. But it is no time to rest as there is still a lot of work ahead. As we are making the game in HTML we (and by we I mean brother Martin) need to write the whole code from the scratch. Fortunately Martin is a skilful programmer and therefore the progress bar reaches 90%.</div>MarekRudowskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13049013189657180732noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3924571754617713554.post-49259821808103788312011-11-28T05:27:00.000-08:002011-11-28T05:28:38.509-08:00How it all began...<div style="text-align: justify;">It all started with a train journey. When I returned home from college by train the travel stretched for ages. During the ride I read, drew, and ... I let my imagination loose. At some point, from this idleness, the idea of the Big Old tree that Dreams came up. Although at that time I gave him the title of Vigne Virge (with an error as I learned later, it should be Vigne Vierge, which in French means the Wild Vines). In the beginning there was the ash, with it roots reaching the Yggdrasill from the Norwegian mythology, who much later became the Great Oak. Around him different lands grew, inhabited by various characters. At first I thought of the world of the Big Old Tree only as the background of my comic book. But for a long time I just took pleasure in the creation of the world, its geography, culture and people. Years passed and the world of the Great Oak survived three unfinished comics, several short stories and, recently, computer games. And although in the meantime in my head and on the pages of my sketchbook many different worlds were born the world of the Big Old Tree that Dreams is the closest to me. Maybe it's because I met that tree during a walk? It was huge, dominating over the others. And it was old. You could sense it, not just by looking at its twisted branches, roots winding deep inside the earth, the cracked bark, but also by the attitude of the surrounding trees, which rose around him as if with respect. There was something mystical about him, metaphysical. I imagined that he was dreaming. What can an old, ailing oak tree dream about?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

It builds the atmosphere of the game, like an additional background but on a whole new level. Therefore I'm very excited that for our newest project "A Grain of Truth" I was able to invite to cooproation a great music composer: <a href="http://www.sergiumuresan.com/">Sergiu Muresan</a>. He created four tracks illustrating the changing environment of the game. Thanks to him the game sounds really amazing and the progress bar hits 80%.<br />
Once again - thank You Sergiu!

Yes it is true - we are so excited about the possibilities and the whole creation process that we can't wait to show it to you. We used it for prototyping but we quick discovered that it's powerful enough to create the game we love. HTML is open source, completely free and really fun to use, and it's perfect for 'Myst' like type of game. When we see an adventure game we want to touch it and we want to be able to play it on mobile screens (iOS, Android) too. Now we can - direct from browser with no lack of good game experience. And we plan for even more…</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Of course HTML5 has it own issues with older browsers like Internet Explorer and to play it we will need modern browser - and only it.<br />

Now I would like to present the location in which the story will take place. For those who have played the demo it will look familiar as it is the home of the Wiseman, located among the plains of endless grass. The concept of the place has changed however as I have returned to the original idea of floating rocks (if You don’t believe please check the first post on this blog when I have presented the page form my comicbook). </div><div style="text-align: justify;">The main task of our heroine will be to solve the riddle of this place, so I will not write anything more to not spoil the puzzle.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I’m going for a vacation so there will be no new information for about a month.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I wanted to start witch this character for two reasons. First of all because this is how the whole story begins, it is an introduction to a much larger story, in which Myosotis plays only a small (but important) part. And secondly I wanted to make a more smoothly connection with the previous games. In the next chapter the main character will change. The plan is that each chapter will have it's own hero/heroine. But it does not mean that we will not meet Myosotis again. She will play her role but as a non playable character.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Below is the portait of the Myosotis and one of the characters she will meet along the way.</div><br />

The game was shortened a bit from the originally scenario. Below you can see one location that was not putted in the final game. Who is the guy on the left with the cigarette? If you read the whole blog you will surely guess.<br />

It composes of 40 screens in comparison to 20 that were planned. The working title of the game is "Bell’s Heart." Below the progress bar of the main game (the Trader of Stories) I have placed another one corresponding to this new game. My part as a graphic artist is done. Now the guys from Pastel Games are putting it all together. Therefore I’m setting the progress bar on 90%. I will surely let You know when the game shall be launch online.<br />
Bellow are some sketches for the in-game locations and one screenshot form the cutscene.</div><br />

But it is not because I’m lazy. It is <a href="http://www.pastelgames.com/">Pastel Games</a> has asked me to make them a short Flash game. Well, the game illustration themselves will not be actually made in Flash, but it shall be operated through the internet browser. The best thing is that they wanted me to create the game based on the same world and the same idea as the “Trader of Stories” adventure game I’m working on. And so the game shall also be about Myosotis and it will place between the visit at Adalbert Library (the fragment I’m currently working on, after the visit in Myosotis home) and her travel to the Mountains of Glacial Butterflies. Myosotis will have to discover a story behind a little village in the shadow of the Butterflies Mountain. Buy now I have created about 33% of the game graphics and I hope I will finish it soon (maybe next month). Below are some drawing from the game.</div><br />

I swear it’s the last time I made myself a location so bizarre to program (for an amateur like me). During the work I added a new scene for Adalbert Library By now it composes out of 6 backgrounds (I’m drawing the last one) and so I had to recalibrate the counter. Below I present you one of these scenes, which is Myosotis workshop. As you could find in the demo Myosotis had studied in art class. Thanks to this the counter reaches 18%.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
