The Light In The Loft

[thelightintheloft]

The Light in the Loft has finally launched!

After hundreds and hundreds of hours spent working on this project between me and whimbrel, countless tears and buckets of sweat, not to mention the over 5000 custom made pre-rendered sprites and backgrounds and over 300 page scripts (that's 120,000 works folks) we are finally ready to launch our magnum opus. This is an MSPAFA like you have never seen before, with an original story that could rival the works of Kant or Dickinson! I am very pleased to share with you the very first frame of this epic yarn, for your viewing pleasure. I hope our hard work will shine through and impress all of you, I am certainly blown away every time I gaze upon it!

...So it begins:

A young man stands in just outside of his tent. It just so happens that today, the 1st of April, is this young man's birthday. Though it was eighteen years ago he was given life, it is only today he will be given a name!  What will the name of this young man be?

We still haven't finalized Daphne's outfit for the adventure.

(She won't be wearing this)

A mysterious package has arrived at your doorstep.

As you stoop to retrieve it, you notice something glowing in the in the night air. You narrow your eyes and try to make out what it could be, but a dense fog is blocking your view.

Daphne Early Concept Art

This is Daphne, a freelance investigator. She's around the same age as Pinkerton. In concept I think she's a bit more like a Velma than a Daphne; a friendly, bookish type. She's a bit spacey at times! It's hard to tell if she's thinking or just daydreaming.

Don't think you can discount her, though! If you're not quick she may solve the mystery before you!

The top right iteration is closest to her current design.

Is the zombie ghost really the house owner?

There are some former owners still haunting the place, but this zombie ghost does not happen to be one of them! He's more like a house guest.
