Shallows Island



In 1947 a man named Tavien Shallow left his home in Waterford Ireland to live on a small island that had been won by his great--great-grand father. The island had been passed down from father to son for four generations. It had become a tradition. No one had ever lived on the island, it sat there, vacant. But wanting some adventure in his life, Tavien took his wife, and 4 sons and sailed to the small island. The nearest neighbors to the Shallows was a small village of 50 people, who all lived on an island a little over a mile away, and could only be seen on clear days. Hardly anyone ever knew what went on on the island. That's why no one know's how the Shallows died.

Shallows Island is a first person suspense game, 
with a point and click interface. It is played much 
like the popular Myst, and Lighthouse games.

Plot: You take on the role of a high demand paranormal mercinary named Symon Degan. Requested to assist a small group of men to investigate strange activity on an abandoned island, known as Shallows Island. Some believe the island to be haunted. Others think it's just roudy teenagers messing around.
Unable to gather everyone during the day, the small band of men head out late in the evening to inspect the suspicious activity that had been reported by some of the residents of the neighboring island.
But plans changed quickly when a sudden storm took the group by surprise the last few minutes of the trip to the island, and sent the small boat flying into the side of the rocky shores of the island, killing everyone. Except you.

Trapped on the island alone, investigation must go on if you plan on getting paid. Now it's time to find out if the island really is haunted, or if it's all a misunderstanding.

Nyan Cat: A Grand Nyanventure

Updated Oct, 22nd 2013

Levels Complete: 007
Levels in Demo:   030


New News!


We've been hard at work here at SircleSoft Studios. Upon some consideration, the decision to add enemy units in levels has been decided (Wait, I don't think that's right...) Enemies are going to be in Nyan Cat: A Grand Nyanventure! Much like the Goombas, and Koopa Troopas on Super Mario, the enemies will be roaming the levels, and will harm Nyan Cat if they aren't taken care of accordingly.
Due to adding enemies, level design has come to a halt as units are now being developed and placed into the other completed levels. This should be done in a couple days and then you'll see the amount of levels complete start going up again.

Got a great, original idea for an enemy? Let us know what you think it should look like, and what it will do, and it may be added into the game!



Old News!


A full level play through video has been uploaded to YouTube! See what the main menu, and level selection screens are most likely going to look like in the finished product!
Check it out HERE!


-----------------------------------------------

Well, now that it's September 19th, voting for the amount of levels that you'd like to see in Nyan Cat: A Grand Nyanventure is over. There are going to be 30 levels in the demo!But is that the end of player input to be put into the game? Of course not! Got an idea for a level, or character accessory? We invite all suggestions and input for the game! So here's the list of things you can submit that may be put in the game.

-Levels (Submit as many as you want, we'll update soon with the choice of terrain variance, but for now there is Forest, Snowy, and Grassland.)
-Characters (There are the main characters, but we want fun, unlockable characters. Got a fun idea? Submit it and your character could be put in the game!)
-Accessories (Fun things that the characters can wear. Hats, Capes, Glasses, submit everything you can think of.)
-Cheats (No game is complete without cheat codes. Got some fun ideas for what a cheat code should do, or what you should type? Submit it.)
-Music (All the music right now is variations of the Nyan Cat song. Know of some good variations? Suggest them! Or, if there is a song that you think would be fun to play a platform game to, you can suggest that too.)


Notice: To submit levels, characters, and Accessories, they can be in any form. Draw in paint, on paper, created in RPG Maker, or made in Photoshop. However you like. I will take your creation and create it to blend with the rest of the game. You'll know what it is though 
Notice: To submit cheats, include all details of what the cheat should do, and what you'd like to have to be typed in to use the cheat. Right now it's only text based cheats (i.e. "moneymoney" gives you 1,000 coins) We may include a way to make other cheats if there are enough submissions (i.e. Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Left, Right, Down, gives you 50 lives.)
Notice: To submit Music, please provide a link. Either YouTube, or a download link.
