Check out new Sierra-style EGA adventure game, Betrayed Alliance!

[Slatts @slattstudio]

It baffles my mind how good a PB&J is if you haven't had one in a year or so.

[Slatts @slattstudio]

This guy is awesome.
Only thing I didn't like was when I accidently ran into him and had to wait for his animation to play out before I could rush to the healer for a potion!

@LightningShade0 Exactly, I haven't done it yet, but it seems super easy to do when it comes time (famous last words! 😅)

[Slatts @slattstudio]

@ZRDR_DELRIO Thanks!
I always loved when Sierra games had images from different perspectives.
I especially love the keyhole perspective in KQ4

Stone floor design WIP update

What do you think so far?

Current work-in-progress for Betrayed Alliance Book 2

@LightningShade0 This is kind of how the death log works also. I will persist between different "runs" - I was thinking that if the player ever selected "New Game" and there was anything in the death log, I would prompt the player whether they wanted to restart the log or not. What do you think?

[Slatts @slattstudio]

Would it be a Sierra-style game without humorous deaths? 😈

Let's take it a step further!
Betrayed Alliance Book 2 tracks which deaths you've found and the number as well.

What gruesome fates do you think wait for you in the Verlorn Forest?

@TheSpecialKarl Thanks 😁

[Slatts @slattstudio]

@TheSpecialKarl Good ideas. I'm actually working on a white highlight right now. I really like the darkened corners, too. I might have to work that in!

[Slatts @slattstudio]

@TheSpecialKarl Thanks 🙏
If you have any suggestions, I'm always down for a lesson 📝

[Slatts @slattstudio]

@TheSpecialKarl Thanks 🙂

@FerroRapax Sure, I'm using SCI Companion, a freeware studio you can use to create *almost* all the resources you need to make a true-to-form SCI0 game (or SCI1 for that matter).
It has editors for Pics, Views, Scripts, Cursors, etc.

Love that the trees are haphazardly charred. Nice touch!

@tandemar The vectors are rendered as pixels, yes, but the creation is stored in a list of drawing commands (see pic).

Timelapse Tuesday!
Building authentic 80s/90s SCI0 backgrounds, vector-by-vector

Using vector-based art saved on disk space against bitmaps (often being 1-10% the size).

This one is 8KB

@dmiguelm Gold rush is amazing AGI!
I've never played the game, but I have seen many screenshots and every time I'm floored by how good it is.

[Slatts @slattstudio]

One thing I really like about the art in Colonel's Bequest is the use of shadows, or in this case, light.

EGA is great for having harsh contrast, which may not appeal to everyone, but I just love it!

Anything stick out to you about this background?

[Slatts @slattstudio]

@FerroRapax Agreed 👍
Is this the puzzle of which you speak?🤔
