Into the Dark
Homegrown Games - a HRMC label | Coming Jun 2012
Welcome to your ultimate nightmare:
"You`re Peter "Pete" O`Brannon, a Private Eye. Sounds faszinating? It isn`t, trust me - unless you find it exciting to hunt down cheating husbands and lost dogs while living of cheap Chinese food in shabby motels. THAT would be what Petes job is all about - but luckily for him, he has a good customer paying his bills. It`s GlobalSecure Inc., one of the biggest insurance companies on the East Coast. More exactely, it`s Samantha "Sam" Miller who runs their investigation departement on insurance fraud. She`s tough, she`s intelligent, she`s better than Pete. By far better. But due to the companies Code of Conduct and some very nasty ethic rules, she`s prevented from taking, erm, "semi-legal" steps to gain essential information and proofs. That`s where Pete steps in - for 500 bucks per day + expenses + a nice 20% share of the money the company saves with whatever Pete finds out.
These 20% could be the winning ticket for a major lottery in the latest case Pete has been assigned to...."
This game is based upon the winning entry of the scariest game competition on TGC:
It´s being developed further and formed into a full scale game for almost a year now, with the Alpha version being close. See something here:

100.000+ Visits!
WOHO!!!
THANK YOU VERY MANY!
(allright, this joke was stolen from Leningrad Cowboys. Still its good and reflects my own English skills).
We don`t know who the 100.000th visitor was. If we knew, we would invite him to closed Beta. However, the magic number was reached close after posting our latest Outdoor Pictures.
Yes, Outdoor Pictures. Portraiing Ingame scenes from "Into the Dark".
Lush, sunny, green pictures.
In our beloved Nazi.Zombie.Hooker.Adventure.Shooter.
BLASPHEMY I SAY!
Still they are here:
As I want to have everything very dark and grungy in my games, I am often overruled. Sometimes by my Beta testers, sometimes by my 3D guys and sometimes by my Art Director. As the Art Director is my girlfriend, too, I`m basically outgunned.
And as the first feedback here in IndieDB on the outdoor screens is also overwhelming, I´m convinced that there are worse ideas then outdoor levels.
Nuclear warfare, as example.
So, in order to acknowledge that and to say "Thank You" to all of you fellow watchers, Visitors and friends, I have put up one more Picture from there:
Now lets give a "cheers!" to our unknown 100.000th visitor, lets pull a bottle of Bavarian, Austrian or Czech Beer - any good beer will do. Americans can use Whiskey, as they have no good beer.
(Note to our U.S. friends: The yellow softdrink sold to you as "Budweiser" is not allowed to be advertised as that in EU countries. Simply because of the fact that your Bud is technically the liquid a dog urinates after drinking real CZECH Budweiser.)
and lets sing together "Where the Wild Roses grow" to the rhytm of our moving sea roses.
Wait, you can`t see them move?
Yes, right, because we only posted pictures so far.
If THEY move, you are drunk. But that`s forgiven if you were the 100.000th Visitor on

Hey how did you get such amazing visuals in FPSC? Been looking for a way to upgrade the look, either new shaders or whatever.
God mode??
Erm - no. No cheats in HGG games. Ever.
hey i can't run due to my gay video card
do like the troubleshooting says, and install latest DX. It WILL run.
you'd probably have more luck with a mac/ios version
Okay something is wrong with you to even sugggest that, what evidence could you possible have that Mac or even iOS could have more gamers than PC..? Also you can't get nearly as good game engines on Mac.
Never.

Yes, Ingame Achievements. Some dozens with quite interesting ingame Rewards...
