    Allow us to introduce "Riddenhurst".
    [​IMG]

    You can visit the website at www.Riddenhurst.com

    The game is set about 100 years ago in the remote highlands and requries you to uncover the causes of the recent demise of the castle you have inherited.

    Your goal is to restore the former glory of the castle. How you go about doing that is where the true test of your character lies.

    If you liked Myst and/or Riven...you are sure to find this game right up your alley.


    Mystery and puzzles are intertwined with spooky and stylized art in a world that has MUCH to explore. Stay tuned to this thread for more updates on the game's development process or visit our website at http://www.furiousapps.com

    Below are a few previews from ACT 1 (of 4) of some of the view plates within the world.

    We'll be sure to keep updating this thread with more final plates from the other 3 acts as we get them polished up and ready for the game. Any and all feedback is welcome. We hope you are as excited about this upcoming game as we are to get it wrapped up and out to you to explore.

    Thanks for looking,

    The screenshots look really good. Loved Myst but found Riven a bit hard. Hope this game has the same sort of atmosphere. Any idea of timescales for release yet or is it only in the early stages?

    Thank you all for stopping by and checking us out.

    @Sanuku
    We aren't using any game engine specifically. We are building the viewer from scratch using Corona SDK.

    We are building a hybrid QTVR/still frame viewer. These plates are about 160* views that you are able to pan around (look around) within your display screen giving the illusion of QTVR without the complexity/overhead of it.

    @Olis & PnExt
    Glad you like the style. We were trying to achieve something between a comic book and virtual reality. To create photo real images would be way too large of a scope for this game but we wanted something that was just as good as photo-real. So we went with a stylized look somewhere between a painting and a comic book inking.

    @Pepper2427
    I too like the Myst series and I agree...Riven was hard...but it was absolutely gorgeous. Myst took a small team 3 years to build...we are shooting for less than 6 months with 2 people. Its a time consuming process (as its taking longer than we anticipated) but we are more than half way. My hope is we have it ready this fall...maybe by Halloween. In the end...I think the extra time will pay off for you as the game play will be much longer as a result.

    I'll get some more views up soon once they are ready. Check back in regularly to see progress.

    And thanks again for the comments.

    Thanks for the Update. Looking forward for the first Build you can show us. I would be glad if i could create a HD Gameplay Trailer about it as soon as you Guys are ready for a Testrun.

    Color me impressed with the graphics, but I'll reserve final judgement until I see some gameplay. Bring it on! :D
