 The goal of the game will be to discover the reason of the kidnapping, why they want her father, and to deliver its family..

To improve the game immersion and for the best animation to the character, I have buy a base model that I reworked. Here is the final result of the character in several different types of emotions:

This character is fully animated with motion capture, which will in the near future a much smoother animation and facial expressions and transmit the emotions of the character.

The animation is done at home using Kinect 2, and the result, which will be published shortly, is much more natural than the figure currently included in the game.

Integration of the character and entertainment end of October.

Pictures and videos will enhance the site as and development.

Before starting the integration, I propose to the players to vote for the prefered character on my website http://wimfgame.com

New character :

Demo available on WIMFGAME.COM

[wimfgame]

Having too many bugs with the current interface, I decided, after receiving notice of many players, creating a more friendly interface.

It finalized and being tested before publication!

I have deleted the long left-clicking, multiple ways of acting and combining interfaces, which return objects in the inventory without action've accomplished, names of objects or action remaining hanging on the cursor despite the change of environment or objects in hand.

A single interface has now been developed. Now, the system is much simpler and is finally stable.

In summary :

-The Overview of the object with the mouse cursor shows the name of the object and the possible action at the time of rollover. A left click valid action.
- A right click on the object activates its review or just loose the object if it is in hand.

The type of action when mouseover may change depending on what the player has done such actions on it. These changes impact on stability make the gameplay much better, both in the environment than in the inventory From this change, when you now have an inventory item in hand, it remains active as long as you did not click with the right button to let go, or that the action was successful and that the object is no longer available.

Concerning the evolution of the final version, all the parts is over 80%. Small delay due to the embedding of the voices. I try to respect the exit end of this year or early 2016.

Thank you all

After some technical problems, I was forced to redo my website, it is now online, always at the same address http://wimfgame.com

Hello everyone,

Two years ago, I was developing a point-and-click adventure game on Pc, Mac and Linux, which tells the story of Ben, a 12-year-old teenager who watches helplessly for the kidnapping parents. Being locked up in his room, he does not manage to rescue them, and when he reaches the door, it is already too late.

What then? To call the police ? Calling his father?

Rash and full of courage, he decides to seek them alone and discover the cause of the rapture.

The baseline scenario promises many twists and turns by letting you spend many hours discovering his story, helping him solve puzzles throughout the adventure, while encountering several crazy characters.

I had too much instability of the game to release a stable version. For a few weeks now, a new version of the engine I use (Visionaire studio) has been released (version 5.0), which has allowed me to improve a lot of points to offer a more stable, less resource intensive game, And of a much better quality.

I take advantage of these improvements to add additional scenes, improve the whole game and integrate new characters.

The game will always be available on Windows, Mac and Linux in full French, subtitled English

The demo (which is still the old version 1.07 alpha) is available at http://wimfgame.com

My current works are visible on my site http://wimfgame.com and my page http://facebook.com/wimfgame

Here are some screenshots

And two video examples of completed scenes

Do not hesitate to subscribe to my Facebook page or my newsletter on my site to stay informed

[wimfgame]

Here are the latest news of the game. The release of the game is not very far. Game always planned on Windows, Mac and Linux.
I added :
-New characters (NPC) in several scenes.
- Worked with the particle engine to make more life to the scenes (wind, dust, fog, flying leaves, etc ...).
- All the scenes are now optimized and I removed the superfluous. The game is therefore less resource intensive.
- I also put some new personal musical compositions.
- Several rooms have also been added to increase the life of the game and add some intrigue.

Here are some videos to give you an idea of some work done:

Character Voice Overview:




New scene (the cemetery):




Feel free to follow the game on my site http://wimfgame.com and my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/wimfgames

In the meantime, an interactive live will be launched on Facebook or twitch (to be defined). You will attend the gameplay and will be able via the chat to direct me to perform the actions (I remind you that we are in a game point and click).

The game will be offered in full to all new subscribers of my Facebook page (offer between 29/09/2017 and 31/10/2017).

The best help I can get is your sharing.

Do not hesitate to share, thank you in advance.

Hello. Big game evolution

I updated the animations of my characters. Before, the walk was jerky, it was not very pretty.

I recalculated my animations and added framerate in each animal. Now, the movements are fluid.

Here is an overview of the result:

[wimfgame]

Ben and me wish you a merry Christmas. Let this feast bring you joy and happiness. And to celebrate, Ben decided to write your most beautiful greeting messages in his diary. Send your messages to [email protected] until 15/01/2018 and these will be in the game on Ben's diary. Each message will be rewarded with free game when it comes out. Date of release game scheduled for 1St Quarter 2018. take your pencils! thank you

[wimfgame]

The evolution of the game continues. The question that often comes back is: "What does the family look like before it disappears? This is a response element

Test phase soon ready.

[wimfgame]

Latest progress of this week (not visible in the demo, only for the final version)

- Added double click that makes the character run.
- The main character now contains 43 different animations out of the 50 planned (the demo only contained 13).
- All scenes now contain animations and various sound effects.
- NPCs (non-playable characters) have been added to several scenes.
- The stability of the game interface has been completely revised, the gameplay has remained the same but is more responsive and free of bugs.
- The set of unused files have been cleaned up and a big part of the files have been optimized to make the game less resource intensive.
- The music is now without cuts (They do not restart at each change of scene but continue or they had stopped)
- The texts have been adjusted to no longer overflow the screen, regardless of the resolution of the game.
- Many other small bug fixes.

It was a big job but the result is worth it. I'm finishing the last 7 animations of the character this week.

The final scene is under preparation. Then follow a beta version to detect any bugs and errors. All this to allow a stable version when the game will be release.

Feel free to comment and share, it is now that it becomes important.

Enjoy!
