Title: The Ancients Sneak Peek
Post by: rdc on November 02, 2006
Here is a sneak peek at what I am currently working on, a combination of a story plus demo code:

No longer available.

This shows all the basic elements up to scene 3, including sound effects, dialog and music. This is an experiemnt so I don't know how this will end up, but it may be of passing interest at least. :)

It has potential! I like the feel of it but for me personally I think the text needs to be slightly faster at the beginning?

Good luck with it! Please post us updates when you have done them . . . looking forward to see where you go with it . . .

Very nice idea (really) going well.
I have some suggestions for improvments:
1. Text at start takes too long, put it as credits at end
2. The cursor (even with delete :-) is nice so dont centre the text which ruins the illusion...I dont expect my cursor to bounce around.
3. Use another voice other than Microsoft Sam - isnt there at least one other default voice? If not maybe you can add one. Microsoft Sam is getting a bit overused.

All that said, I have to say, again what a great idea this is (wish I'd thought of it). The best of luck with the project.

Oh, I wanted to mention that I don't have a patent on the idea. :) I would love to see other story-based demos, especially from the experts.
