Here's the start of my entry, which is our favourite post apocalyptic experience demaked into a 90's FMV interactive adventure. It will feature it's own story which ties together all 3 Fal..., ahem, Duck and Cover games.

Taking place in the storyline of Duck and Cover 3, the Brothers of Metal uncover the top secret time machine division in the depths of ruined Pentagon. You all know this section of the government if you ever read the Time Machine novels like I did. The Brothers having aquired this technology send you on an adventure into the timeline of the first two Duck and Cover games.

I'm making all the videos with Lionhead's game The Movies which is an idea I've been draging around for a long time now. I've even switched from XNA to C so as many of you fine gentelmen will be able to play the game. I've so far put together the skeleton of the game which is more or less a video player surrounded with some menus but since I had no prior C(++) experience I am quite happy to come as far as hand compiling a load of libraries and stitching together code to make videos play (with SDL and FFmpeg API that is).

I've had a little late start on the movie making side and there's probably no way to finish this till 7th, but I did finish the intro overnight and by the end of the compo I hope to have a demo with some story branches implemented.

Here you go then:

I thought I posted here? I was looking forward to this in any case.

I didn't have an account when I first checked out the video...

I watched a friend play The Movies once, and, based on that viewing, the supplied video looks great!  The suggestion of a demake to a FMV game makes me want to create *new* terrible FMV games, because it seems like it would be lots of fun.

The title made me think of a friend's movie compo entry that featured a company boss obsessed with ducking and covering.  Maybe that could be mashed up into a FMV game... Hmm.

If you got a demo together, even if it's too late to enter, it'd be worth posting.

Poor you, nobody cared about your game.

Not everybody is an attention whore

This game looks amazing, and I'd love to see you finish it. If you'd like some help from a C++ programmer with a few years of game programming experience, drop me a line.

Sigvatr: Don't drink the glowing water.

Vegetable: Thanks, if I'll need anything you'll be the first to know.

Others: Thanks for the feedback. I feel a little embarased since I have been playing Spore for the whole last week not doing anything on the project. But today I've fought the demons of procrastination and got the rest of the intro finished (the black and white photos naration) and the menu. Now it's only the whole game left





Time to play your amazing entries now ...

Looks really interesting so far. o.o Hope to see it finished.

Looking promising, I hope you'll continue this!
