In today's entry log a bit of a background technical data. Some may find it interesting: aquabyss.com

I love the teaser trailer and can't wait to see what the game is like

[Predseda]

Is this still happening? Last blog update is from 6th June, saying there is not any update.

[malko]

Would bet that summer holiday are no strangers to this silence.

[Glen M]

I get professor layton vibes from the teaser. I wonder if it will be a puzzle game like the popular DS series.

Hi Folks! The log has been updated =) aquabyss.com

[Predseda]

From screenshots it reminds me Transarctica a bit.

I'm impressed with the animation, but I noticed it lacks some punctuation. I see "?" but what about "." and "!"?? I agree with -Acid-, that I'm GUESSING it's an adventure game or Point-N-Click but the "trailer" leaves a lot of wonderment. The rending is really cool with textures but...it's like the new Terminator movie Trailer (2019), all of that has been done before.

But I won't dismiss it just because of vagueness and lacking in punctuation. But if the game lacks it..I'll probably loose interest. Grammar matters, so does punctuation as they both set tone without any guessing or wondering.

It's pretty, but without any content to say, "OOhhHHHHhHHhh..." about. Being Amiga, I !want! to say "OOoOOOOOooOhhh!!" Haha!

AC/DC Hacker, what do you mean, in what spots it lacks the punctuation?

As to the Point-N-Click, I think you haven't see the screenshots. According to them it's not the P-n-C genre.

Other than that, is it bad that we have a nice and modern video related with Amiga [game]? Would it be better if it was a very low quality one? Or none at all? I don't get this "complaining". Reading some comments I wonder what are those perpetual malcontents doing on retro forums. Doing a crap game is bad, doing something better seems to be also wrong. That doesn't make any sense to me.

[Pyromania]

Game is looking good so far.

Watch the video. Notice where sentences don't have any at the end.

Yup, I was doing something else for a moment and then went to the last part of this thread and saw the link. But hadn't commented yet.

I didn't call it "bad" at all. I'm not complaining at all. I commented. Complaining would be, "This is horrible, and ugly." The reference to the new Terminator movie is only meaning the animation leaves a lot of to wondered about--and didn't offer much to what the game is going to look like. Like what -Acid- typed. It's not a negative statement or any kind of a heightened intensity in that way.

You read my comment from your own mindset (malcontents). May I suggest a more positive or balanced outlook when reading it?

Now, as for the game, it looks cool. It's pretty and I can understand why Aged Code commented that it's a game with depth - these kind become complicated in code. As long as the game isn't dependent on accessing Google in any form while playing...I'd be willing to check a demo. For sure.

Ah, that's what you meant. Well, if you watch movie trailers many of them don't have such punctuation. Why? Because it's not a book. Thus, it's not an error, especially if intended.

Sure thing mate

I don't think it will use the Internet at all. It'd be cool to have such multiplayer on a classic Amiga, though

Yes...English and grammar are taking huge hits thanks to Cellphones. A title shouldn't have any, but statements should. It was meant as a comment, not a teachable moment. Though, any moment can be that..but that wasn't my aim. Doesn't matter if it's not a book. It's still conveying meaning...or not.

I was wondering about the editors being used...and if they'll be that way in the game. But could have been just how they got the images while making the game. I agree about a multi-player for Amiga. Uh-huh, Uh-huh. Wow, that would make the game very large. That's a looooooooot of code to get everything to sync. Haha!

Hello fellow Amigans. As promised the log has been just updated on aquabyss.com

[Predseda]

I am starting to understand the game genre I think.

[Overmann]

I am quite excited about this game. Screenshots look very intriguing. The genre-description is both a bit confusing AND interesting
And if the level of polish matches the screenshots we might have ourselves a modern classic here

No news on the official site since. It is half a year. Is this project dead?

Let's hope not.

I don't think so. See the version counter on the page.
