ASYLOPOLE- Sci-fi adventure game

[Pixoala]

Hello ! I'd like to present an old-school adventure game: Asylopole (inspired by classics such as Monkey Island, Blade runner, Sanitarium,...).
On this project, I've been doing almost everything (story, writing dialogs, art, music,...).

You can support the project on Kickstarter now: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/282648360/asylopole-sci-fi-adventure-game


Overview:

Asylopole is a satirical old-school adventure game set in a dystopian future. You play the role of Adam Murdock, a psychiatrist working in a gigantic asylum. Get inside your patients’ heads to find out what’s gone wrong. Experience totally new universes and fight your patients’ worst nightmares...

Features:

- Large universe

- Non-linear

- 2D hand drawn graphics, rotoscoping, stop-motion

- 90's feeling

- Varied gameplay: exploration, puzzles, fights,...
- Rich content: quests, mini-games, network (Ultranet),...
- Adjustable difficulty

This seems terribly ambitious for a one-man project, especially, I'm assuming, your first one. But good luck anyway!

I start this passion project in 2007. I put all my heart into it.^^
Thank you.

you did all the work? the art? animation? coding? writing?

damn man.

anyway that MIB badge flashing thing looks really cool

"Dystopia" is just a buzzword reflecting a complete lack of imagination.

"Get inside your patients’ heads to find out what’s gone wrong" sounds like Psychonauts plus a few bad novels.

Anyway, it looks better than Broken Age. Good luck.

The more important is what you can do with a classical thematic.
I have never played Psychonauts so I don't know.

Yes, this is basically a one-man project. 100% indie, made in my garage.

Thanks.
As you can see in the KS page, some claymotion are included in the game "Each "universe" has a new gameplay with some puzzles, a unique visual (draw, stop-motion / clay animation sequences,...)".
It's ambitious but I start the game 10 years ago, lot of assets and stuff are already done.
The funds part (KS quote):
"Asylopole is a passion project, worked in any spare time I can find. The project is ambitious in its scope. To do justice to what I have planned will require time and funding.
Your support will allow me to dedicate myself fully to making the game.
There are also elements which require other people's expertise: Translations and voice acting. Other costs such as licensing, your fabulous rewards, kickstarters fees contribute to the overall budget."

So it would be very helpful if you could expand a bit on who Mickaël Pixoala is,

I'm not an industry veteran who have all the connections and financial backing I need to be successful, not a "triple-I". I love games and making games. I can't expend really more because this is my first commercial attempt and making games is a passion, not my job. I hope these days, true indies can have some success on KS.

Yes (ex: Jacob Janerka for Paradigm game).

Is this real or hallucination ?
