The story follows the journey of Goupil, a little fox who lost his parents. An old and wise owl will give him a very unconventional weapon: the foxy wand, an old stick of which hang little bells. The owl says it is magical and will give Goupil the power of cunning.\r\n\r\nI don't really post it to compete, since it's clearly not in a sufficient good shape to do so, but more because I told myself that I'll make the compo until the end.\r\n\r\nI didn't have the time to write and set up more than one scene (the prologue, before the arrival of the owl). The same goes for the art. Only some frames are \"final\", some were made quickly to post something, and the rest is just black backgrounds with plain text describing what's supposed to be shown.\r\n\r\nEnglish and french traductions available.\r\n\r\nFor those who are interested to see the final version, I guess it'll be up in some months, on http:\/\/n42c.com\/\r\n\r\n-----------\r\n- Utilisez les fl\u00e8ches pour jouer -\r\n\r\nL'id\u00e9e \u00e9tait de faire un petit jeu narratif, \u00e0 la mani\u00e8re de Telltale. L'histoire suit la qu\u00eate de Goupil, un petit renard qui a perdu ses parents. Une chouette aussi sage qu'\u00e2g\u00e9e lui donne une arme fort peu conventionnelle : le sceptre de malice, un vieux bout de bois auquel sont accroch\u00e9s des grelots. La chouette pr\u00e9tend qu'il est magique et qu'elle donnera \u00e0 Goupil le pouvoir de la ruse...\r\n\r\nJe n'ai pas vraiment post\u00e9 pour participer au concours, le jeu n'est clairement pas assez abouti pour \u00e7a, mais plus parce que je m'\u00e9tais promis que je ferai la compo jusqu'\u00e0 la fin.\r\n\r\nJe n'ai pas eu le temps d'\u00e9crire et mettre en place plus d'une sc\u00e8ne (le prologue, avant l'arriv\u00e9e de la chouette). Pareil pour les images. Seules quelques unes sont \"finies\", d'autres ont \u00e9t\u00e9 faites \u00e0 l'arrache, et le reste n'est qu'une suite de panneaux noirs pr\u00e9sentant des textes d\u00e9crivant les images qui devraient se trouver l\u00e0.\r\n\r\nTraductions fran\u00e7aise et anglaise disponibles.\r\n\r\nPour ceux qui veulent voir ce que cela donnera une fois fini, je devrais l'avoir post\u00e9 dans quelques mois sur http:\/\/n42c.com\/","title":"Le Roman de Goupil"}
