Adalbert's private quarters

Another scene from the library. This time it is Adalbert’s private quarters. Like you can see he is REALY into books. Boy, I really would like to get out of this library.

Myosotis workshop - new location

Still working on the library. 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%.

Death

I like to present you a new character from the world of ForestBed. His name is Porteur and he is Death. He lives in the Land of the Dead, which is called the Roots, and as one can guess is place below the ForestBed between the roots of the Great Oak. In this picture You can see how his morning looks like. He is prepering for his work reading his ToDo list.

And yes, he is smoking, and yes, he knows it is not healthy. But he is death in person. How worse can it be?

Oh, and he hates his job.

Adalbert's library - inside

I have made myself a little break from the game as I had some jobs to finish but now I’m back. I’m working on the interior of the Adalbert’s library. And so the counter moves to 15%. Later I will add also a corridor and two rooms.

News

Demo updated

My friends responsible for English Proof have found tons of errors in the script. If it weren’t for them I would never find out how lousy my English is. I have also changed one soundtrack. The corrected version is ready to download.

Counter

On the right you can find a counter. It represents, in percentage, the progress of the game making.

Feedback

Like before I’ve received a great feedback from the players. There were lots of comments and lots of new interesting ideas (special thanks to Xelanoimis, Tramponline and Myles Blasonato).

There was a bug in the demo that blocked the game if one of the Wiseman dialog options was chosen a second time . I’ve fixed it and updated the demo for download.

Following your advises I’ve also changed few things in the gameplay:

- the background in the inventory window was changed;

- inventory items are now without a pixel perfect mask (you can select an item just by clicking on the appropriate slot);

- right mouse click also skips dialog text;

- the mouse cursor is now hidden during the noninteractive parts of game;.

I you have more ideas how to improve the game I will gladly hear them.
