A game 4 years in the making?

Posted by BoMToons - November 1st, 2010


Hey do you guys remember this game?

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/

It was my first ever "sponsored" game. I was so blown away when I contacted Tom about increasing the old NG file-size limit and he offered to sponsor it.

We (me on art and saxmaestro on code) started working on a sequel almost immediately afterward, but then got pulled into various other projects and life in-general. Occasionally we'd go back and tool on the game, but it was mostly completely relegated to "back burner" status. Fast-forward 4.5 years and we've come back to it with renewed vigor. We've been busting our buns finishing it off for the last few weeks and it's turning out wonderfully.

The game is about 10 times bigger than the original in gameplay (and file size lol). The graphics are all updated and it's full of nice mini-games, cut-scenes, and humor. There will end up being around 400 voice acted lines in total so you can count on lots of entertaining dialogue branches to go through as you help "Nephi" solve puzzles and complete his ultimate goal. Here are some highlights about the game:

- 16 NPCs to help you on your quest
- 11 areas to explore
- Completely custom soundtrack
- 400 + fully voice-acted lines of dialogue
- Lucas-arts-esque Point and Click Gameplay and Humor
- Mini-games
- In-game animated shorts
- Animated cutscenes
- An engaging set of puzzles to solve

We've got big plans for this since it's one of the most polished and BIG games we've ever made. Keep an eye out for it in the coming weeks :-D

wow, this looks awesome! i like that title screen art. haha i remember playing the original that was soooo long ago

Seems like an eternity ago that we made the original.

This sound really amazing.
A game with good voice acting, I've found, is very entertaining :)

This one won't disappoint :)

60 mb swf, huh.

Well, maybe not quite THAT big...we reduced the audio bitrate and it looks like it will be around 30 MB.

Sorry for EXAGGERATING!

What's a point-and-click game?

they're really easy to make a ton of sequels for...you should try them!

sweeeetness! :D

indubitably :-D

Hey cool, looking forward to it!

Never played the first one, will have to go and have a look.

Peace

Have fun!

FOUR YEARS!?!?! Sounds like an art collab I know :'(

lol, good luck! ;D

Hm, maybe I should release THAT sometime soon too :-P

Cool, never thought that 4 years went so fast I still remember the first game and I hope this is as good as the previous one and whether it is better have no complaints ;)

You will be pleased :)

This must be one of the few games I haven't played by you. I will get right on that as soon as possible.

Possibly tomorrow.

Don't procrastinate!

holy shit i remember playing nephi adventure, it wasn't really that popular but it was anice cartoony game

nice, glad you enjoyed

You should definitely add medals for the game, would make it 100x more epic.

Definitely.

It's been years since I've played the original, looks like its time to get crackin'.

yessir!

Reminds me of Monkey Island. Im excited to see it!

Yeah, that's the style we're going for :)

You guys should add medals to the original game as well. :D

Not a bad idea!

Good luck! Glad you guys are so proud of it :)

Struttin' our stuff :)

I suppose you can hold your own on art SOMETIMES.

I'm sure you would have done a better job :-P

I remember playing the original, pretty nice if you ask me that its getting a facelift, I hope we are not staying the regular point and click genre.

Good Luck buddai!

it's meant to be a bit of a nostalgic experience in the gameplay, but bring a "new" story to the table.

Secksy :D

those veiny arms are sumthin else huh?

cool game bro

just you wait!

sweet, 30mb is very big. Could it possibly be a record at NG?

Like, vinyl?
