Hello,

This is a little project I've been working on for the past 2 years.
Still has a ways to go, but is now pretty much at a playable stage.

please visit www.lyliangame.com for the gameplay video



Also, I'm aware the word 'nostril' is spelt incorrectly, and it's been fixed in-game. 

If you get a chance to take a look see; thanks!

Mmm, that is one interesting looking game.

I'll be watching its progress.

[ஒழுக்கின்மை (Paul Eres)]

looks very nice. a bit of advice though. if you have a lot of text in a trailer to read, it's best to err on the side of like 3x as slow as your own reading rate. i know this from experience, because whatever speed i put text to read in my games' trailers, everyone always says it goes by too fast.

another bit of advice: if possible build a mailing list so that people can be notified when the game is finished. not everyone has twitter or facebook and checks it every day, so a notification email would go a long way. ymlp is the one i use (although it isn't free it's reasonable to buy).

also, this shouldn't really be posted in the feedback forum. the feedback forum is for games with demos, not for trailers; use the announcement or devlog forums for that.

The game looks pretty cool when are you going thinking of releasing a playable demo of this?

[Ninja Dodo]

Looks cool! I agree with Paul you could make the text go by a lot slower, or leave it out entirely if that's not the point of the trailer...

Look forward to seeing more of this.

Hey, thanks for having a look at the video, and cheers for the great feedback!

@Paul, Yes the dialog does go much slower, but I was worried about 'boring' the viewer and skipped through them fast for video. But I understand now that was a silly idea.
I also have a mailing list, but I haven't moved it across from the www.pixelpickle.com website yet. I'll certainly do that today.
Sorry I wasn't sure whether to put in feedback, or announcements.

@Guert, I'm hoping to bring out a small demo by end of November. It will be just one level of the game.

Thanks again!

Hey man, good to see the game in motion - looks pretty cool! How are you tracking for the IGF?

Ed: Oh, the best part of the trailer is the transition from the dark world to light world. The comic book part looks cool as well!

I really like it, it has a great unsettling feel. Keeping an eye on this.

Is it too late for more enemy variety though? I'd love to see more strange things, even if it's changing a nurse sprite to a doctor or something every now and again.

[ionside]

Cheers guys

@Jason - man, not sure, . I'll be sending it in, but not sure it will be at a stage I'm totally happy with.

@unsilentwill - there will be more enemies, most certainly. Although the nurses are the most common. There's is another variation of them that lug large syringes, but I'm still up in the air whether that might be pushing things too far (I know games like bioshock have girls with big needles, but stabbing a little girl with a big needle might seem wrong).
