   INDIANA JONES and the Fountain of Youth (DEMO RELEASED!)
  The much anticipated demo of Indiana Jones and the Fountain of Youth is finally available to download and try out for yourself!It's taken over two years to release but now it's ready for show, and should give you a tiny impression of just what is to come in the future.The original demo, which almost surfaced in 2005 - had three programmers, and all was lost when the lead programmer dissapearedwithout ever uploading the game files for the team to continue working from. After this, a new programmer was recruited - andthe demo you will play today has been entirely built from scratch by Jan Simon - a keen programmer who has worked extremely hardon pulling our work together, using only the compiled original version for reference and adding every single bit of detailback in himself.Don't let this fool you though - more time means more ideas, new looks and better gameplay. The team have been able to implementthings like the fight engine which was only really being concieved back in 2005. However, Jan has made it possible and in thisdemo you will get a taster of some of the action sequences in the game. Unlike the original demo, this version features all thecorrect dialogue written superbly by Lorn Conner.The demo itself features an array of features that will be included in the full-game. Bear in mind, this is just a demo & so a lotof what we hope to include in the full game to really bring the atmosphere together - has been left out. The demo features a seperatestoryline to the full-game but includes some structure that you can expect from the full game - including cut-scenes, inventory basedpuzzles, dialogue puzzles & action sequences. There's also over 25 minutes of original music especially composed for the demo, and over15 unique interactive rooms to explore - all in beautiful 320x200 hand-drawn artwork by Misja van Laatum.Did you know - we hope to release a talkie version of the demo in the near future! With your help, we can get Doug Lee onboard as the voice of Indiana Jones! If you would like to hear him as Indy again in a brand new adventure, take a look atthe donations page on our website.http://www.barnettcollege.com/It's time to finally see what we've been hiding all this time. You will find all the information and downloads you need below, onour demo page - which also includes technical information as there are still a couple of known bugs floating about in this version (1.0).So - sit back & hold on to your hats, it's time for your latest adventure!http://www.barnettcollege.com/demo.htmFoY is a freeware point & click by Screen 7, who are in no way affiliated with LucasArts, LucasFilm or George Lucas.

  Way to go!I'm always in favor of more good adventure games.Sure hope LucasArts doesn't 'fox' you though.Anyhow good luck in getting it all the way to done!;Quote:Sure hope LucasArts doesn't 'fox' you thoughIn that case you can change it to "Allen Quartermain and the Fountain of Youth";  Great job! The product looks really well made, and I love graphics. Good luck for you guys.P.S. Don't know if you know :) But you got featured on 3dnews.ru here. That is good thing.   ;  Very impressive work. Your website also looks very cool! If I get back at home I will definitely try it out.   ;  Thanks for all the kind words so far. It's great to know that there are actually people out there that still respect the quality of hand-drawn, two-dimensional pixel art in our days of super-effect shaders, high-dynamic range renders and anti-aliased lensflares. ;)Also, great to hear that we were featured on 3dnews.ru -- although I can't make out one single word of the review/comment. There's has been high interest in our project so far (we got approximately 12.000 downloads in the 100 first hours after the release of the demo version 1.0) -- all this is highly motivating!Thanks again, and keep you feedback comming, please!   ;  The demo was a little short :-)But the ending really got me - when's more comming?The graphics are great and the overall feeling is good, too. But there are some bugs (mainly in the GUI)...Keep it up!   ;  I just wanted to say that I love you guys! [grin]Keep up the damn good work, looking forward to the final version of this game!   ;  Thanks for your nice comments!We don't know exactly when the fullgame is going to be finished, but it's pretty clear that it's going to take us a while. As you can see, the game world is very detailed and hand-drawing all the needed backgrounds, sprites and animations is a very tedious process. The script is already finalized, but the coding/scripting is also going to take some time, naturally. But rest assured -- the longer we spent with the game, the better it gets. Just stick to the demo for a few months or years and be surprised with the full and complete game one day. ;)It's true, there are several bugs left in the demo, although it was beta-tested for several months and over 120 bugs have been reported and fixed, there's nothing out there quite like the 20.000 players that have downloaded our demo in the first 150 hours it was online! This is the reason, why we decided to release a demo version 1.1, in which a lot of the spotted bugs, mistakes and 'little annoyances' that were mentioned on various sites will be fixed!   ;  First, I'd also like to say that I've beaten the demo and have really enjoyed it.  It's all very professional, clean and, obviously, enjoyable.Second, a quick question: how did you guys get so many downloads?  Where else did you show off your game?
