The Adventures of Ace Detective Guy

Sorry it's been so long since the last update, I've been pretty busy and haven't gotten a lot done on any project for a while. Now, however, I have sufficient progress to post about.

Mike Sovey and I have started a point-and-click adventure game projects, The Adventures of Ace Detective Guy, with a few others we found at DeVry and a good friend of mine Scott Lowe. The project is being done in C++, using SDL for graphics, sounds, input and drawing text. It has been three weeks since our initial meeting, and we are hoping to have a demo of the engine working by next Friday the 10th (a bit ambitious, but everyone decided it was possible). Here is a picture of the team:

Just in case you couldn't tell, that picutre was never taken, horrible photochop by me. Here are the team members depicted, from left to right: Spencer, Trae, Myself, Mike Sovey, Skitch. Not in the picture: Jawara (I somehow didn't get a picture of him). The room we are in in that pciture is the GSP Studio (Alienware Lab) at DeVry, which is a perfect place for a team to meet and work.

I will attempt to keep this updated as to our progress, and possibly post the demo when it becomes avialable. The project is open-source and will be released under the GLP, and has a board on the Awe+ Forums.
