Hey everyone, been gone a while working on my new game inspired by classic Sierra supernatural detective games, and finally have something worth showing to people. Between 2009 and 2011 I created a trilogy of adventure games, The Murran Chronicles. The first game was literally me seeing if I could create an adventure game, the second was a more developed and full length game, and the final entry was a more fleshed out and comprehensive game. The later entries were nominated for several awards, and were relatively well received by the public. Note these original 3 games are all available for free download on my website: www.wraithwoodstudios.com
I decided to remaster these 3 games into a "Murran Chronicles Revisited", where all 3 games are combined into a new package with completely overhauled hand-drawn graphics and animations, a revamped 2-click interface, expanded storylines, enhanced character development, and a storyline revamp to fit into a cohesive arc rather than being 3 disparate games with the same protagonist.
I've spent the last year learning how to draw and do digital art, have remastered all game graphics from all 3 games, and have just finished coding the first game in the series: The Jersey Devil. I still have a lot of work to do on the interfaces, language translations, voiceover work (will be looking for volunteers to do voiceover work in the future when ready), UI work, and more. But the first game itself is coded and functional.
I recorded a quick video showcasing the original -vs- new graphics I drew, as well as some of the gameplay, and figured I'd post it for people to see: https://wraithwoodstudios.com/wp-content...Teaser.mp4
Once done, the Murran Chronicles Revisited game will be released free of charge for all to play.
Thanks!
Bill

That's great news Bill, I look forward to the remaster
Haha, oh wow, I think I recognize that MrColossal walkcycle in the original game from the AGS forums back in the day! 
I'm pretty sure I used a version of it for one of my own unreleased game projects... Anyway, cool to see that you're doing an updated version!
