I absolutely love this idea, and what you've done so far looks great! What's the chance of something playable before Christmas Day?

lesta_smsc · 05 December 2018, 14:51

Great concept! Scrooge character looks spot on!

happymondays · 05 December 2018, 14:58

Nice so far. Keep it up!

dreamkatcha · 05 December 2018, 15:14

Looking good. Just need to get official endorsement from Charlie now. I'm sure he'll love it.

Awesome! I like the music. He taps his feet really clickly when idle. Maybe slow it down a notch and possibly get him to do it intermittently. Also consider other gestures e.g. checking time, looking at the screen and shrugging shoulders etc lol

I like the idea! Other things to do might be collect roast turkeys or christmas presents for upgrades after "eliminating" an "enemy".

Me too. Definitely nice to see something a bit off-piste source material-wise. I've got a vague recollection of a Christmas Carol game being in the works in the Amiga days, but then nothing came of it. I think it may have been a (drawing board stage) text adventure though.

I think a steely glare delivered with a growled bah-hum-bug would make a perfect special move. It could be like Simba's roar in Lion King.

Anywho, can we get the box quote suggestions underway?

"I'd buy that for a shilling!"

This is pretty cool. What will be the target platform? Will this work on OCS machines?
