Hello everybody,

This post to present a Myst-like game I am working on for a long time : Amarhys
(sorry for my English, I am French)

A long time ago (7 years) I released a first demo, and after a long break of 5 years and 2 years more to improve the visual aspect and the game engine, Amarhys is back with a new demo.

EDIT : the demo is available in French and in English, the player can select the language when starting the game.



The main improvments are :
- new graphics rendering, with a 360° environment
- musics and sounds

The game demo is working only under Windows, I'll work later on the Mac version when the final game project is more advanced.

To download the new demo (about 115Mo) :
Download Amarhys demo

For detailed information about installation and for the game demo guide :
Amarhys demo guide

Do not hesitate to contact me on Amarhys website forum if you have any problems, questions or comments about the demo.

Ah yes, I forgot to mention : the goal of this new demo is to get back to the first demo ...

I hope you will enjoy it.
Cheers

Amarhys (Xavier)

Yowzer! That's some nice renderings you have there. I'm impressed. I'd love to explore that cove.

This is absolutely awesome and beautiful, amarhys ...

Does that mean there's a way
through and beyond that portal ? ... ... or does the demo end there?

Thanks for sharing, however, I'd love to explore more of this magical world ...

Hello,

Thanks to all of you for your compliments, this is really motivating to move forward ..

janaba1, to answer your question :

Actually, if you find the way to activate and to go through the portal, you will reach the world of the demo I have released 7 years ago .. with the old renderings


cheers

This was very very nice. The graphics and imagery were awesome, the soundtrack wonderfully mood-setting, and the puzzles were nicely integrated. The interface was easy to get used to, and I really liked the ability to combine objects. I have just spent a very enjoyable hour or so walking through and looking at your world.

I also liked the fact that, sometimes, what appeared to be one item was actually more than one.
like the rope and the nail it was hanging on

I am really looking forward to seeing more of this! Congratulations on what you have accomplished so far.

And yes, I was able to get through the portal (and back again!), thanks to the gentle hint you provided in your first message

Beautiful!! Nice environment!

I, however, am already stuck:

Got the pole, rope, and nail, combined the rope and pole, but cannot go further. Tried everything for about an hour. A hint would go a long way.

PS: Mind if I share this game demo with Gameboomers Forum? They LOVE this kind of game

through the combination of those two items you have now an
extension to reach up to something you couldn't get before ...

amarhys,

Wow! The artwork and puzzles were great! CYAN never made a point and click game better then this. And you did it all.

I sure hope you'll be involved in open source they need talent like yours.

Great job.

I am very pleased to see that they are still people who likes this kind of game ..

Now the demo has been released, let's go to work on the final game .. and believe me, they are still lot of stuffs to do

dadguy, you can trust the janaba1's hint

Love the quality of the rendering. (what did you use to render the images, Max, C4D etc) and I love how we can use objects to get another object to help solve to puzzle. I love how we can use combined objects too. Very cool. This aspect combined with the eye candy is what would make me buy this game. I do hope you have a deep story and journals to read a long the way.

7 years is a long time to be working on this, dedication is amazing. How long would you estimate it will be until you finish. Just asking. LOL

I don't, as a rule promise to buy anything but in this case I will make an exception. Release it and I will buy it.

Lastly, I do want to go through the portal, I like to live dangerously.
