GreyFuss Addicted Boomer Registered: 06/01/06 Posts: 3293	Thanks for the info Sheriff. Its always good to hear about a new game being developed, especially by an Indie whos passion for making this game since 2009 is still strong. I do like dark stories in games but dislike dark screens. I know that in games, dark is supposed to be scary but I hope they are planning some better light filtering or something to bring the screens alive. Its also nice to know that they list the game as being point & click so we know but I don't see anything about what perspective. Is it first or third person? IMO...Horror always plays better in the first person... _________________________ "Don't Hate Me Because I Am Beautiful...There Are Many Other Reasons!"

oldman Addicted Boomer Registered: 04/15/00 Posts: 3779 Loc: Lost in the Arizona Desert	I hope he succeeds. H.P. Lovecraft stories have always been good vehicles for Adventure Games. I remember playing Call of Cthulhu, Shadow of the Comet years ago and thoroughly. I have never found any upgrade of this game to play on newer machines but wish some company like GOG or Steam would make Shadow available. In my opinion it was one the most under rated Adventure Games to come along. Anyway back to the subject, I'll be watching the progress of Dagon and would support any kickstarter effort. _________________________ You laugh because I'm different I laugh because you're all the same Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

I did all the sound effects for that game. _________________________ Developing: ... www.cbe-software.com Created J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars, Serena, Vampires!, J.U.L.I.A., J.U.L.I.A.

Tracy Addicted Boomer Registered: 02/19/06 Posts: 2190 Loc: Delaware	Oh this is such great news! I'm an official H.P. Lovecraft addict and I LOVE the idea of his towns and places coming to life in a way that lets me explore his creations! Neat! Thanks for the good news and for giving me something game-related to look forward to! Tracy _________________________ “It is never too late to be what you might have been.” ― George Eliot

ThomasDagon Shy Boomer Registered: 05/23/13 Posts: 12 Loc: London	Hi Gameboomers, and thanks Ana for posting this! I'm Thomas, the developer behind Dagon - just wanted to say thanks for the nice comments so far :-) @GreyFuss: You are right, the screens are a bit to dark at the moment, when creating them I was only working on one machine where they looked ok, but in the future I'll test on a broader range of systems to ensure they look ok everywhere - dark is good, but at least you should be able to see things :-) I'm keeping the website, Facebook and Twitter accounts up to date with the latest screenshots, news etc, so please have a look if you are interested! _________________________ The Eldritch Cases: Dagon Facebook :-)
