Wow! Without any doubt this is the most stylish and sophisticated use of GS I have ever seen (no offense to anyone else intended here). The graphics are utterly stunning, and the music is soooo desperately lonely it brings a tear to my eye just watching the 'pre-flight' video. You have produced a work of art here and have set a target that I am going to be a long, long time chasing!
this looks just awesome, do you have any sort of hard target for finishing it? I think if you can get it submitted by early september so it's out around oct 1st, it could do very well in any sort of halloween promotions.

@petercoupe Awesome praise, very much appreciated and quite humbled by that! Thank You!

really looking forward to it.
@jonmulcahy Thanks No real hard target, in fairness, I thought it would be due ready around now but I lost motivation for a while, so took a month or so off and I'm now behind my 'not so important' schedule. I would think it will definitely be ready by halloween. I have the following to do;
* 5 more levels! (all game mechanics are done so just need to build the levels) * Add in Achievements - These will be collectible scrolls that further tell a part of the story from the characters eyes! * Build a menu to access the achievements from.
* POLISH! Make sure everything is tight, do some final testing and good to go
There is a lot of graphics being used, was desperately hoping the LUA drop would happen before I was approaching the end ,but this doesn't look like its going to happen which is a shame!
It looks absolutely amazing..I loved limbo so I just can't wait to play this.
The only thing I have to say is that I think the background images are too busy and there is too much going on in them. In Limbo the backgrounds are sort of blurred and more focused on the platforms, which also makes for a more spooky atmosphere. In the video at the very top of this page, for example, I can't quite tell if the you can jump on the platform that is holding the tree or if it is just a part of the background. Might just be me! Anyway, it looks like its coming along great and wish you the best of luck!
@UtopianGames ... Cheers Darren, would be awesome to be rewarded with a lot of hard effort since I started with something reasonably successful. I still don't hold out much hopes but you never know

@artonskyblue Thanks for your comments, much appreciated. Limbo has simpler backgrounds as the levels scroll so you encounter seeing many things in the background. Mine are all played on that single screen so wanted the backgrounds to be quite detailed. Its obvious where you can and cannot go when playing the game, the video quality you are seeing is not very good so you don't get a true reflection ... they look great on retina devices!
I'm sure you'll be able to run your own $10k competition shortly, don't you agree @UtopianGames ? ... Absolutely mind-blowing how good this looks man....
@uptimistik Ha, I wish, thanks none the less though bro!
So I've not got much of an update, look to have one soon though. I've had no internet for a week and haven't had much GS time so have only managed 1 more level .. that leaves 4 to go now!
I have a week off work soon and really want the levels completed by then as have to add in the achievements, one other menu and want to get a lot of testing/polish done in that week. The end is in sight and its going to be exciting releasing it!
So had the week off, been busy, it was my birthday yesterday and treated myself to a new car today In between, I've put some GS time in and am pleased to announce all the levels to LAD are now finished! I just have some story to do, add in a couple of unlockables planned and then polish up and sort any minor bugs outstanding!
Just caught this, and cannot believe how beautiful it looks - in a dark and eerie kind of way. Love games with great atmosphere like this, look forward to trying it. The car is not a Bugatti Veyron is it? Well I guess that can wait until after you release this )

@Chobbiface Thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately the car is not a Bugatti Veyron, it was a BMW 1 series but onwards and upwards and all that! ha
That Bugatti will come after you have released LAD. It must be a hit. Those last bits are the hardest right? When you think you are done and find some more polishing work. Good luck!!

@LudwigHeijden Ha, im not holding out for a Bugatti but we can all dream right? The last bits are the hardest, starting out and implementing is the easy fun bits ... After staring at the same thing for months on end it gets tough! Still, its really getting there now
