I don't know.


The title screen.

In the park.

The enter menu, which displays the inventory engine.

What kind of game is it? Who knows. Probably a mystery game or something maybe. Whatever it ends up being, it will have an inventory engine.

I like the cartoony look you're going for. My advice would be to make a little more contrast between the colors of the tree trunk and ground. It's not that it's hard to see 'em, it's just that a dark color on another color equally as dark doesn't look so good. That's about all the nitpicking I can do right now.

Oh man I've been developing the plot rapidly while talking with CJA.

The game actually will contain no cameos (except for that statue of Kuddy you can see in the park screen shot).

[Seventh Shade]

No cameos? Excellent! Also, the screens look nice so far.

[CHEZZY]

I like teh trees. By the looks of the inventory it is very much like Nonsense (coins and points) If so, I'm in. Will there be any shooting/action areas?

[Val]

V... very much like Nonsense? bbb... this is exactly the same inventory engine as emF 3 was going to use, just redesigned. Coins might not ever get used anyway. I don't know what I'd use them FOR, certainly. Score is a cheap little gimmick.

No, there will be no shooting or action areas. There will more than likely be some minigames, though.

guys cross your charges because your ferrofluids are about to dispatch

Looks cool, I await some more screenshots.

Today's mostly been engine completion and solidifying the plot. I have a good idea of what the game's about now! The main character is named Montigo, with a partner named Grytt. (CJA came up with those names.)

The game's kind of like neo-emF. It's not necessary to know this to understand the plot, but the game takes place mostly in Tilde. Again, though, there are no cameos. That's because this is a good 30 or 40 years after emF takes place. The main character's full name is Montigo Applegarth.

It's great having this game to work on, because now if I want to MZX I'm not forced to work on emF 3. That game will still get done, obviously, but it's about time I made something new.

[Val]

Actually, the game takes place 100 years after the end of emF. The cataclysmic events of the emF series have fallen into legend. DMZX and #mzx have even undergone name changes, becoming Juuhazen and Aeroc, respectively.

The game's going to have lots of puzzles, inventory and otherwise.

[Hoof]

Although I rarely megazeux0r a thing, I do miss a good inventory puzzler. Goodest of luck, guy.
