Dr. Who - Time Snare

Post by moshboy »

Not sure if there are any other Dr. Who fans out there. I was only a moderate fan myself.

Anyways this is a WIP point'n'click adventure (developed in AGS), in which you control Dr. Who. There is a demo available and from what I've played, it seems pretty solid with a Lucas Arts-esque interface, strong writing and a decent graphical appearance.

I liked the old Dr. Who series a lot even if it was never any popular in Germany.

Have noticed the game in the development furum of AGS, but haven't played the demo yet. But from the look of the scewwnshots it looks pretty cool.

"I'm still surprised that people seem so enthusiastic about Time Snare.

It's on hold. That's as specific as I can be. I've been toying with AGS, and a while back I started another, completely original adventure. As I'm sure you know, a new project can take all one's time and enthusiasm. And yes, based on recent events, I have found my interest in the world of the Doctor waning. I apologise, but I have learned that I shouldn't have made a song and dance about the game until it was nearly finished, hence my new project will be kept firmly under wraps until I'm sure it will see light of day.

I'm really proud of the game though, and there's a lot I did to it since the demo. I re-did a bunch of backgrounds, added more animations, as well as advancing the story and locations by a hefty chunk. Perhaps, if I do one day decide that the project is firmly in the ground, I'll release the incomplete version so people can see where it may have gone. I don't feel I could release it to a third party to finish.

But like I said, on hold. I'd love to go back and finish it one day, and to be honest, I think I will. I just don't have the inspiration right now.

I hope I don't get flamed, as I really appreciate the interest and support everyone on the AGS board has given me. Thanks a lot guys, and I'm sorry to disappoint you."
