Hey
Why did the project get abandoned?
Why not continue with the project?
Is it possible to pick it back up?
What would it take?
What would you need?

I could do the art part on such a project, if the art style would be 3d art. and it would be about 5% of the job,, I think you would need research skills, patience. The biggest part is writing, scripting events in a game engine. It was only a try we did, for fun. :D

This is amazing!! I hope the project is still underway. I couldn't believe my eyes when I stumbled upon this - it looks SO PERFECT; back in the days when my eyes didn't realize how different the pixel art was to real life, this would have been how I saw that room! Incredible!

RIP Fifi!

Mood: Wow! ~emaciate Jan 21, 2013
thanks for this delightful comment! I had a real blast to read !!
we finished most the scenes from the game, making them 3d, and it just stayed
as it is,, the thing is there are about a full novel of text to input in
it.. as well as scripted events to carefully orchestrate.. its a major pain
to make these kind of sierra adventure. :P

Very happy you shared the experience!

I can't even fathom all the work that must go into it! Nonetheless, it was such a great game to me, I would love to see it in a format my friends wouldn't be appalled to play (as it stands, most see the original graphics and shirk the idea)...

I honestly remember the first time I was playing when in the dining room the killer ran by with the knife... My sister and I just about screamed. It took us a long time to figure out he wasn't going to come in and get us, and we just sat there, watching the windows in fascination.

I wish Dagger had captured the same level of terror I had in Bequest. Graphics were nicer, but the mood wasn't as well-done. Probably because for so much of the game you could leave. Being trapped on that island was so terrifying.

I still hope the project will continue to completion at some point! Your work on it is amazing!!

omg that is some serious pure awesomeness!,

It was really compelling to play these, i agree
I think the primitive pixel art had the ability to combine with
the player's imagination alot. Like i would draw in my school books, stuff
coming out of nintendo games. as if it was an extended universe.

To be honest i would like to tell you theres a chance, but
its 200% abandonned project :D from 2006..!

Wow - this looks great... have you done any more screen shots? Is this going to be part of a remake... I played this loads when I was younger, loved the game though was very frustrating, every time you walked to the next screen or another room you would have to load about three disks and wait for it all to load on... I swear I changed those disks thousands of times playing this game

hahahah! that is prettyy cool ! :D In fact our remake plans stalled,, a few years ago, lots of people were doing remake of such games, after a good point and click game engine was established online.. :D
