Yo, gave this a quick whirl just now and it seems like there's potential - just haven't dug it up yet.
I'll try to remember to come back to this topic when I've finished the episode.
Looks & sounds great though - only slightly disappointed that there isn't speech, I'd got used to that!

dopeman: Yep! Five wonderful years. I've been doing a lot of writing and sketching on the following chapters during these five years as well though, so it hasn't all been spent on doing chapter one. Glad you like the look of it! annyfm: Thanks for the coverage Anny! Glad you liked the game and good luck with your indie review blog! I look forward to reading more indie adventure game reviews, I hope you've got some in the pipeline!  |

 Yo all! To celebrate the fact that I finally got my Journey Down site updated, I have decided to release my original cinematic storyboards for public viewing pleasures!If you're into making cutscenes yourself this may be in interesting read, specifically if you through some mad feat of memory mastery actually remember what the cinematics are like in the finished game. Comparing my storyboards and the actual result is a good way of getting a feeling for what things were better left alone than actually implemented. I had many great ideas, and many utterly lousy ones. Many of them were cut out because I felt they only confused the player, other things were removed since I felt they weren't really worth the effort it would take to make them. In retrospect I am very happy with the final cut that the game ended up with. Some few things from this original storyboard that are missing would have been fun to implement but all in all I'm very happy that I managed to trim it down so well. (Trimming it down was not only dramaturgically important, but also critical to me actually being able to finish it off.) Hopefully someone out there finds this an interesting read. If you've got similar documents don't be shy to show them! I'd love to have a peek.  |

The wallpaper image would be a great box cover art!
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to some teaser images (even concept art) for the second episode. Any chances for something like that in the near future, or do you prefer to keep as much as possible a surprise?

 Ohh that slap felt good! Thanks Peevish. Now for some good news! The annual AGS AWARDS Ceremony was held in an AGS/IRC client with many contenders and guests, all participating in real time with full chat and avatar support. The Journey Down ended up winning 10 different awards, one of them being the coveted GAME OF THE YEAR award. Check out the game at www.skygoblin.com
