Demetrios - The BIG cynical adventure Thread

Hello everyone,

I'm a new indie developer, I'm French and I've been developing a Point & Click adventure game for almost a year now. I'm only making it public now that I've made my site online :

Demetriosgame.com

Here's the information :

Demetrios is a fresh take on the classic "Point & Click" adventure games, adding a touch of cynical humor to the characters motivations.

The game puts you in the shoes of Bjorn Thonen, an antique seller being robbed one night after coming back home drunk. Doing his owninvestigation with the help of Sandra, his next-door neighbor, he ends up involved in a mysterious and murky affair. But these two unlikely heroes may be able to surpass themselves and discover ancient secrets!

Featuring Full HD colorful backgrounds and animated characters in first person view, similar to visual novels, the game offers varied situations and puzzles, for beginners and experts alike, with a highly contextual level of interactivity.
Try different items combinations, the results might surprise you!

My game is awaiting approval on the main site, but I'd be very interested in getting some (honest) opinions!

Would you play a game like this?

Just to let you know : there's a preview/demo version available on the site!

Demetriosgame.com

It's quite long (between one and two hours to complete it)

The Demetrios game project has progressed quite a lot lately, so it's time for a quick update status!

First, the preview demo has been fully translated to French. It's working great and it didn't take a long time to implement, so this definitely opens the possibility to new languages translations for the release
The language (English or French) is automatically detected on startup, according to your operating system language. (NB : It can also be changed manually in the options)

Also, Mac and Linux exports have been officially added!

I've corrected a few things, especially some performance issues : the game would slow down more and more as you'd play it, and this also made the Mac version crash often (memory leaks and such) Now it's fixed!

You can now download the preview version directly on the site (no email required anymore!) Also the Windows version now comes with an installer, and includes DirectX installation (some people had trouble with that)

DOWNLOAD THE DEMO :

The demo is available for Windows, Mac and Linux, right here : Demetriosgame.com

I've got a whole lot more to talk about, as I've been having great progress lately - but I'll save that for later. Stay tuned!
