Yeah, I get that a lot -- and I do understand why :) Can't blame anyone for being overwhelmed with the amount of text at times. I will try to keep my future games more concise and straight-to-the-point. But with this character it felt natural: all the encyclopedic explanations, going off on tangents, etc. It was a way of keeping myself entertained while writing all this stuff -- and trust me, it was a LOT of writing :P Aaanyway, glad you liked it! Thanks for playing and commenting!

The whole dialogue list was about 100 print pages long. And then I had to translate it into my native language. So call that a leasson learned ;) My next big project will definitely be less wordy -- or at least verbose in a completely different way. I already have some rough ideas that need to be put together into a proper story, and even some character sketches -- but seeing as Gray took me 2 years and 3 months to complete, it might take a while :) BUT I will try to release something smaller every once in a while, most likely some short games starring Gray.

Download the game, unzip it, and then in the game's folder run the file called Gray.exe (the one with the alien icon). Also, in case of trouble, check out ReadMe, everything's explained there :)

Yeah, i get what you mean. Some of the icons are too obscure, indeed (especially the lower right ones). My reasoning was: if you don't know what it does try it -- but perhaps there was a more elegant way to go about it. Will definitely consider it in my future projects -- and maybe update Gray's GUI accordingly in some update, too?

Yeah, it's a tricky one -- mostly because I had this crazy idea that isn't easy to figure out. One hint: you can talk to everything, not just people :) So there's something else you can -- and need to -- have a chat with.
As far as a walkthrough is concerned, a very friendly reviewer at jayisgames did that for me :D Here it is: http://jayisgames.com/archives/2013/02/gray_fitz.php#walkthrough -- just click on Show Spoiler to reveal different sections of the walkthrough. So that'll get you started. But I think it's more fun to try everything on everything :)

Wow, a video review -- fun fun fun :) It's interesting for me to see/hear someone playing and commenting as they go along, One thing I noticed, though, is the music is out of sync with the events (basically, it goes much faster than the action, and it goes silent around the time Gray takes off from the Moon). Did you modify the game speed? If so, reset it to default for best experience. Hope it's not a cpu speed issue.

Try playing the game without any additional video capturing software and see if it's any different. I watched the whole video and I see that in the intro the action is much slower than the music, and then in the meadow (with the beehive), it's actually much faster. STILL, it's awesome that you took the time to play and record it, much appreciated :) And yes, I'm planning on another game with Gray in it -- but it's going to be different than this one, with different game mechanics. And probably much, much crazier :D

I'm not sure what the problem is, but my friend who did the music for Gray also sent me a song that he wrote for the intro (which he captured with some video software), and the audio didn't match the actual game either, it was slower. So I'm not sure where the problem is. Have you tried playing the game without the video-capture -- and on Default settings?
As for the game engine, I'm using Adventure Game Studio ( http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/ ) -- and yeah, I'll be using it for the sequel, too. I have great plans for Unity engine, in some distant future, but for now AGS works for me, I know it a little and I know what kind of things I can do with it and how :)

Let me help you out. Small hints, so you can stop reading when you think you've figured it out.

1. The pillow will be something of a similar nature as the sun.

2. You'll find it in a different location. You should notice it, because it appears only after you've talked to the Sun.

3. You'll also need something that you'll find by the lake.

These are just basic hints to get you started, and some trouble people generally had with it, it's actually quite a long quest, and I don't want to spoil the rest for you (though if you happen to have more questions, feel free to ask). And you're totally right about the glitch! Had to check the code if that's possible -- and yeah, my bad :) Oh well, let's say it's an easter egg :P
Individual responses to everything are my pride in this game :) You can use, touch, look at and talk to everything, and a lot of times you'll get different responses depending on the situation's changed. It was a hellish amount of work to write, then script, and THEN also translate. So I'll definitely think twice before doing that in any future project -- but it was fun nonetheless :) Glad people are enjoying it!
And congrats on your feature, too! I'll have to play it, I'm a total sucker for those logic/arcade games. Have you played Ambidextrous?

Yeah, cinematic was what I was going for -- but it's the music (that my buddy made) that made it feel complete. We listened to a lot of Holst's "Mars, the Bringer of War" for the sequence of appraching Earth.

Thanks :) That intro was definitely fun to make!

Ah, ok then, lucky I didn't mention any big spoilers :) Have fun!

I'm actually going to make little updates to it every now and then. First thing that comes to mind is more animations to the farmer -- and more bedtime stories. There's also probably going to be an Easter Egg Editions (if I can make it by Easter), and more language versions. What would YOU like to see more of in the game?

Hooo boy, that's a big request ;) But who knows, I might just do an alternative version one day: like a hardcore one, with more objects and puzzles (like, you have to do ten things instead of two), or same objects, completely different puzzles? Someday, maybe? Meanwhile, I'm thinking about new projects :)

Soft and calming? Have you played through the part where the sky is red? ;) I think it's the music that makes it seem calm in the meadow, the orchard, woods and the lake -- but the evening at the farm is downright trippy :D Aaaanyway, thanks for playing and the awesome feedback! :)
