This first beta shows you what will be the humour, the dialogs, the main characters and the graphical style of the game. A later beta, scheduled for October 2014, will introduce you the funny puzzles and the point-and-click gameplay.

Don't be shy, mate: click on the screenshots to see them bigger!

Hi everyone

First of all, sorry for not speaking Italian. I'm from Belgium and I'm designing a funny and old-school point and click adventure game for PC and Mac.

Here's the pitch:
After a 10-year quest, Lancelot and his fellow Gawain have found the Holy Grail! Immediately informed, King Arthur runs to meet the most valiant knights of the Round Table. While their king brings them fortune and fame, Lancelot and Gawain celebrate their victory over a few beers. The next morning, Lancelot wakes up in his underwear in a gay bar. The keeper tells him that he has lost the Holy Grail playing cards and Gawain has been kidnapped by environmental activists. If he does not want to be killed by Arthur, Lancelot has to get back the Grail and his companion in arms before the king of Britain discovers what happened.

I've started this thread on this forum to introduce you the game's developpement. I will be extremely glad to get your comments, advices and suggestions. My goal is to provide you the funniest point and click I can.

If you have questions about the sorywriting, the making of the artworks, the code stuff, the list of all psychoactive drugs consumed to craft the puzzles and the 'creative' businness plan behind the game financing (and yes, all the rumours about the offshore accounts and the ties with the Russian mafia you read on the Internet are true!), feel from to drop me a comment. I'll make my best to reply the most sincerely I can.


If you want to test the game, a beta is coming very soon. I'll give a download link on this forum. Or if it's handier for you, I'll tweet the link on @Lancelot_game

Thanks

Jean-Baptiste

Very Important (although boring) Legal Stuff

The European Commercial Court of Justice (ECCJ), held on 8th February 2014 in Brussels (Belgium), stated that:

• The author of the video game called "Lancelot's Hangover" is no more allowed to include in his playful-oriented computer program any puzzles that can be solved in a logical manner. The player, to progress through the game, must always use, one by one, all the objects in the inventory on all the different objects and characters within the game (and if possible, several times). In addition, only websites in Serbo-Croatian language will be willing to publish a text walkthrough (which must first be encrypted using the SHA-512 algorithm).
• The author of the video game "Lancelot's Hangover" will also break any contacts with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un by 23th June 2014 and will provide a urine sample, every Tuesday morning, at The European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice (CEPEJ) until 1st January 2017 inclusive.

Hey declerfayt,

I saw that game on AGS forum! Brilliant idea! Very funny.
Can't wait to see it finished.

Ragazzi questo gioco ha un plot geniale. Troppo divertente! Già mi fa ridere.
E la grafica pseudo-medievale è una bella trovata.
Da tenere d'occhio!

Grazie mille AprilSkies

I Google translate your post, and your comment was really nice. Thanks man!

We also have the brand new AGS-Italia Forum (here's the Games-in-Production Section: http://www.oldgamesitalia.net/forum/ind ... wforum=251). It's on Old-Games-Italia site (it's an Adventure Planet "friend"-site).
It's for Italian developers projects, but... Maybe some of us could have the pleasure to join your beta-testing team, who knows.

WOW!!! Sembra un'avventura con i contropalloni. Da tenere d'occhio!!!

Formidable! La ringrazio molto AprilSkies !

I followed your advice and post on the AGS-Italia Forum: http://www.oldgamesitalia.net/forum/ind ... opic=21293

I looked about Indiana Jones and The Gold of Gengis Khan. Good job man!

Grazie mille Kiruna. I've Google translated your reply, and I'm glad you look forward my game. Thanks

Yeah! It's a very good work by an Italian Fellow AGSer nick-named Gabarts!

Sorry, I thought you were part of this project

You will be on our home page very soon please keep in touch!

Il sottobosco delle avventure sviluppate con AGS (Adventure Game Studio) riserva spesso sorprese interessanti, come il quasi ultimato Lancelot's Hangover, presentatoci dal suo autore direttamente sul nostro forum poco tempo fa.
Ambientato nell'universo arturiano, questo titolo presenta due importanti frecce al suo arco: una grafica "storica" capace di ricordare le miniature medievali e una trama che promette di sovvertire i cliché della Tavola Rotonda, ribaltando i valori in campo rispetto a quanto la tradizione ci ha sempre tramandato.
In attesa di una beta in dirittura d'arrivo, vi lasciamo così con qualche immagine e un trailer che crediamo possa stuzzicare il vostro coraggio e la vostra fede! A presto per intraprendere insieme a noi la ricerca del Santo Graal.

mi piace, fosse già uscito l'avrei preso subito, sembra davvero originale e divertente, resto in attesa della demo.



(se non voglio perdermi altri giochi dovrò fare un corso di inglese,
visto che il mio livello base non basta.)

Quante cose originali si potrebbero fare con le avventure grafiche, e questo ne è un esempio!

Che poi... magari a JB gli possiamo anche proporre una bella localizzazione in italiano!

magari..... intanto studio lo stesso

Wow! Italia sembra come Lancelot un sacco! Che figata! Giochi di AGS sono facili da tradurre. Forse un giorno qualcuno tradurre il gioco? Grazie per il vostro sostegno, in ogni caso

It's marvelous for the homepage Tsam. Thanks a lot! I'll keep you posted! I've Google Translate your text about the game. Good job! I'll create a press section on the game's website and put your article in it (I had Russia, France, and now Italia - great!)

If you'll come to Italy, we havo to go out drinking alchol together... and don't forget to take with you the only copy of your game-folder!
(that's the beginning of your next game: declerfayt's hangover - A whole year to create a game - One alchol night with Italians to lose the only copy of source files).

- typical AGSers' humour -

Excellent!!!!! I love this game!!!!

I've already found a cover for declerfayt's hangover!



Chapter 2: the Italian AGSers tastes Belgian beers in "Why the hell did I've cleaned my whole DropBox last night!!!"

Ahahahah


I'm really laughing XD
