I like it. I know AGS engine a little, so awesome to let people make their own adventure game.
Good luck with this, you're gonna include music and voice acting? /tracking
RE: Secluded - Indie Thriller/Light Horror Game - eliasfrost - 04-13-2014
Thanks! I really like the versatility of the engine, with the right know-how you can make a wide array of different types of games, one guy even made an FPS prototype with AGS, crazy stuff, the same guy made a platformer as well.
I won't include much music in the game, I'm focusing on ambient sounds more than melody and music. The game won't have voice acting either as I don't have money to pay any voice actors in case I decide to go commercial with the game.
RE: Secluded - Indie Thriller/Light Horror Game - Daemian - 04-13-2014
Oh, ok. But there are many voice actors around not looking for money.
If you go commercial, you could give a portion of the sales to the guy. Just saying. ^^
RE: Secluded - Indie Thriller/Light Horror Game - eliasfrost - 04-13-2014
Haha, yeah I guess but I'm sort of a perfectionist and if something doesn't fit the game I scrap it rather than letting it stay (or I try to find a better way to do it), and voice acting is one of those things that often make or break adventure games, and I'm not ready to spend a lot of time to find people to do voice work for me if it turns out to just not work with the game.
I'm not a fan of the idea of cutting profit like that either, I wouldn't spend my own time to work for someone if it's uncertain whether I get paid or not and I'd rather not hire people to work for me when even I don't know whether the game will sell or not (or if it's even going commercial). If I want something done, I make sure I have the money already before hiring someone.

Honestly, games like these feel more fitting with text instead of voice acting in my opinion... Maybe it's the 8-bit look to it that makes me feel that way.

Maybe - maybe not.
I think it would be nice addition to have two settings. One for old-school text adventure geeks and then another for those who might want voice acting. But the later would require more resources as mentioned before.
RE: Secluded - Indie Thriller/Light Horror Game - Statyk - 04-14-2014
Well of course options are the best of the best. But I'm saying if it were one or the other. I guess I'm used to the retro looking games not having voice acting that hearing it would feel strange. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, it's just not typical.
