The Bizarre creations of Keith the Magnificent, is a point
and click adventure game about the mad wizard keith, and
his home made horde of steampunk zombie cyborg he created
to be his friends.
Demo
The free demo contains one full level from the game, with
all puzzles and art implemented, it is from about halfway
through the game.
The bugs I am currently aware of is that you can click
through a few screens, and that the table in one of the
puzzles sometimes selects itself when you roll over it.
I am making the game in flash, as I have very little
experience coding anything, and the tiny bit of experience
I have is in actionscript so I decided to stay within my
comfort zone as much as possible.
It can be downloaded from the games website:
www.keiththemagnificent.comGameplay
Combine items with Magic or Science, Build new creations
using all kinds of different items, or use them in logical
and clever ways - or just regular ways. Squish eyeballs,
set fire to guts and brains, make stomachs into engine
bays, dissects corpses, and other things the puzzles in The
Bizarre Creations of Keith The Magnificent.
There will be 13 levels, each with its own painted strange
and weird art, and quirky, slightly grotesque puzzles.
Each level will have up to 14 different puzzles, making you
think in new and interesting ways of creating zombies,
harassing them, bully them and killing them.
Story
The game is very much story - and art - driven. The story,
beneath all the gore and guts, the dark morbid humour and
inappropriate jokes, the grave robbing and all of that -
behind everything else, is a story about a lonely man. A
man, Keith, driven to the edge by loneliness and far too
much drink. He has no hope, no friends, no one to care for
or to care for him.
It doesn't stay like that - his loneliness is what drives
him to create the zombie cyborgs. His desire for friends,
and we follow him and find out some about were he came
from, why he has no friend - and see him fall in love, and
dig his way, with help, out of the desperation and sadness
he is in, a genius with no desire other than to help, and
be accepted.
Its a story about humans being desperate, and wanting to
live, no matter how weird and disturbed their minds are.
They deal with sadness by ignoring it, they joke when
they're at their lowest and hardly ever know what they're
doing - but do it anyways, laughing and pretending they
have every idea what it will do - hoping that it will work,
and they love by being really awkward and having feelings
that don't make any real sense.
