Yugostatic - There are no Werewolves in Yugoslavia
Yugostatic is a feeling that this is all a dream, and that when we wake up, it will be early 2000s again.
It is also a mysterious branch of Yugoslavian secret service dealing in paranormal.
Most importantly, it is an old-school point & click adventure game inspired by the greats of old.
- Is there really a werewolf causing trouble for the citizens in our peaceful city?
- Where has the police chief disappeared to, and why?
- What do tobacco smugglers have to do with it?
- Who is Doctor Hothead?
- What is The Mystic Cryptic?
- Who is THE GREEN MAN
- Is it even possible that something interesting is even happening in Yugoslavia in its final years?
Here's a couple of screenshots from my first solo game, still in development. Steam page coming soon.
In the 2000s I worked as a comic book creator in ex Yugoslavia, getting some awards for humor in them. I stopped making these panels around 2014, and started working, on and off, as a designer and developer on educational mobile games. I bought Adventure Creator last year, as an incentive to try and do this, but ultimately six months ago I decided to quit all my hobbies and start a new one - making a game I would love to play.
Yugostatic is inspired by the greats of the genre - Lucas Arts classics for it's humor, Blackwell series for the pacing and Drifter for the "never waste player's time" mentality, but also a lot of Ex-Yu cinema and TV for the atmosphere, and Borges, Piranesi and House of leaves for the underlying labyrinthian mystery box themes.
Chris, thank you for this asset. It was, and is, a complete joy working with it. It gives me a chance to go back to my old craft and enjoy software development after long days of doing the vibe-slop-developing or whatever this job has turned into. Not only that, but i returned to illustration and music as long-abandoned hobbies of mine. It made me a happier man.
Howdy, Stranger!
