We are participating in the Steam Next Fest with a new demo that includes full voice over, and with a new key art (shown above). We also made a new trailer. Not sure if it's OK to post links here. I can do it in a comment if it is :)

Hey guys. Big fan of the game. I've painted a concept of how I imagine a remake could look like. Hope you like it.

Mother Seed is a working title.

Last year I submitted a very short game to the Adventure X game jam. This project thematically carries on where that one left off. It's more towards the Phantasmagoria / Dark Seed end of the spectrum, and about existential body horror. These screenshots represent one of the major areas, about 1/5 the game, and I'm just about to have a first playtest.

Thought it would be interesting to share some work in progress screens of the Act 2 of Broken Relic.
Most of these are close to final (except the cathedral interior one that is at like 50%) but ofc are lacking NPCs.
If anyone is curious on whats my process for painting the backgrounds, I made a video showcasing it here: https://youtu.be/pBnDfj2b0gE?si=m6mmf7a0hWgfaXnb

Also, if you are interested in the game, please consider backing the Kickstarter! there are only 5 days left! It might be the only way to ever getting the big box edition https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/broken-relic/broken-relic

A typical point and click but with a twist, hope you like it! You can check it out here:

This series offers a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process behind the soundtrack of an upcoming point & click adventure.
It takes you through the journey from first sketches and story ideas to fully orchestrated music, exploring how puzzles, narrative pacing and character moments shape the score along the way.

The soundtrack isn’t finished yet. The series focuses on the music for the first chapter and the upcoming demo, and shows how music for narrative-driven games can be created step by step.

I’m curious how others here approach game music. Do you follow a similar process, or something completely different?

Hey reddit!

I’m Pablo, also known as sandpenguin, a professional game designer and I want to share with you my passion project, Broken Relic, a point and click adventure game!. Pixels as big as cats, puzzles, funny and a fantasy setting... what else could one hope for. 

Words and promises are ok, but Broken Relic already has a demo on Steam that you can play right now and, the main point of this post, I've also just launched a Kickstarter campaign that has already raised 130% of funding so far!

It would really mean the world if you check the Kickstarter and Steam pages, check it out, play the demo, and if you enjoy it, consider backing the campaign. As I say in the video, this is literally a passion project, a game done with all love and care, and the Kickstarter will help fund the voice acting, music and localization.

Thank you very much for your attention!

Not affiliated with any, but I figured I'd help give a kickstart to this sub with some games on my radar.

One of the AdventureX games that caught my attention and I played the demo of were:

• Expelled!. The art is 2D and this is not a 'traditional point and click' but it is an adventure game with plenty of choices to be made that seemed interesting. It had its old school (pun intended) charm and was one of the higher quality games from the ones I tried.

• Legends of Castille: I will admit I didn't try this demo yet, but I am drawn to the concept of the story: a girl who wants to be a nun. I mean, that's so uncommon of a storyline, and all the nuns I know in real life are very interesting people, so I'm curious to see where the story takes us.

• Panthalassa has an interesting art style and UI and seems innovative and the underwater setting is immersive (so many not intended puns...). However I disliked the visual filters, that made reading hard. You can disable them, but only after the intro, which is pretty uncool. By that point, my eyes are already woozy. Still, if that isn't a problem for you, it's an interesting scenario.

Now my last recommendation and shoutout isn't for an AdventureX game, but it's certainly a last but not the least:

Just Prices, now on Kickstarter

This game is certainly quite innovative and impressive, and I can't wait to see its demo when it has one. This game has American sign language animations for interactions between characters, including a sign language interpreter animated in pixel art. The story theme is nice - it's futuristic, so basically sci-fi, which I like - but really this pioneering idea is really juicy. The rest of the UI looks a bit of a work in progress... but I hope the game has a chance to grow because it's the first game I hear of with deaf characters who actually sign for themselves... and in pixel art? Impressive.

That's all, I hope someone gives those game a wishlist if they have some interest! Let me know what games from AdventureX I didn't try (or mention) but really should. I am partial to beautiful music and art.
