Hi people!
we are proud to present our creation made ​​at the Jam in 72 hours.
Playable and ratable ->HERE<-

We hope that you enjoy point and click, anyway we love design it with my team: Mathal Thotor and I.
puzzles comes from Thotor twisted mind, so if you are stuck and cannot find the solution, or have not many times to rates many games ( :) ) Thotor set up a Walkthrough but but this is not recommended, it’s up tou you :)

What went good:

-> The challenge to make a point & click quicly was very exctiting, our graphist (me :D ) has never played those kind of game, so this was a real discovery, Hopefully Thotor is a real Point&clickhoolic :D
-> Music, Mathal makes us terrific soundtracks in no time, it was great to work with it in the ears
-> Code… Sooooo fast, Thotor is a real machine, our engine made from scratch was ready in 5 hours.
-> Character design and animation, it is really my favourite work, and, the result is not too bad compared to the time it took me to make.
-> We finished in time, with some bugs, but in time!

What went wrong:
-> A lot of work, both in graph and code, we have not spent enough time on storytelling that is the soul of this kind of gameplay.
-> Some mistakes on ergonomy (using items, Pathfinding)
-> So much graphs to do! i was late from the begining to the end, I have not been able to do all the planned content, plus, i had to go very fast so some background are not very nice, I am more comfortable at pixel art than HD :)
-> Some planed features missing, and some crashes.
-> Unfortunately, Mathhal was not with us IRL to compose music.

Nevertheless, we really hope you’ll enjoy playing at Demon Quest!
We planned to finish the Enhanced version this week-end with more features and surprises :D
