Title: This is No Time For Games - A pixel art adventure game
Post by: Not Quite Black and White on May 09, 2015, 09:20:08 pm
My friend and I make up small indie company Not Quite Black and White (http://notquiteblackandwhite.com (http://notquiteblackandwhite.com)), and we have just announced our new pixel art game: This Is No Time For Games (http://notquiteblackandwhite.com/tintfg (http://notquiteblackandwhite.com/tintfg)). Please take a look!

A voice keeps nagging: “The only way to win the game is to not play it.” Flo doesn’t know what that means, so she says “Shut up, voice” and leaps into the unknown.

“This is No Time for Games” is a 2D point and click adventure for the modern age. All the classic elements will remain (riveting mystery, twisted plot, hair-ripping puzzles, enigmatic and comical characters) but traditional P&C interfaces have been rethought to heighten the excitement of the gameplay and allow greater immersion in the adventure.

“This is No Time for Games” is being developed by Not Quite Black and White. Presented in a contemporary pixel art style. Developed in Unity 5.

It looks great. I love the detail you have in the lighting effects. How many man hours have you two put into this project?

I have no idea. We have been working on this specific project since November last year, but developing our game engine and art style for about two years more than that. That's not quite full time for both of us, but more or less. Let's say 3/4 full time hours for three years.
