The Council [Interactive Film Project]

[Курлыка]

Greetings, DYOM community! 
Today I want to present to you my project "THE COUNCIL". Very thankful to @Platinum Card for translation first and second act into English. This project consist of three acts and first and second act are available now! So you can download ACT 1: DEAD SOULS and ACT 2: WAR AND PEACE right here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/be4j16qv467gri6/The_Council_ACT_1_and_2.rar/file

 

 

 

 

Description of ACT 1: DEAD SOULS.

1989. 
There is the cold war between France and Germany, which was caused by the assassination of German diplomat Herold Muller in Paris. To resolve the conflict, William Mortimer, the richest English lord, invites the cream of society to another meeting, taking place on his personal island. Louis Degre was invited, but the purpose of his visit was not to spending time with the great minds of all of the time. Degre received a letter according to which the French politician Harry Degre, the father of Louis, disappeared on the island of Mortimer a few days ago. Louis is aware of his father belonging to a secret society, a collective of people who decide the fate of the world; Harry's son cannot even imagine the reason why his father disappeared. In any case, he goes to the mansion in order to solve this mystery. Communicating with the guests at this reception, Louis realizes that behind the beautiful outfits, lush hairstyles and manners are hidden paltry and long dead souls...

 

 

Description of ACT 2: WAR AND PEACE.

June 7, 1989.
A few days have passed since the arrival of Louis Degre on the island of Lord Mortimer. The atmosphere at the reception is becoming increasingly tense: relations between France and Germany are on the verge of transition from the Cold War to armed conflict, and relations between the guests are more and more reminiscent of theater performances. To help search for Harry Degre, the president of France, Francois Mitterrand, is arrives to the island. At the same time, Helmut Kohl, Chancellor of Germany, appeared in the mansion. Over time, Louis realizes that the disappearance of his father is no coincidence, and the oddities that occur during the presence of guests on the island have a certain pattern. In such circumstances, it becomes almost impossible to keep the situation under control, so Degre try to save a balance between war and peace...

 

List of invited guests.

- Louis Degre is the son of a member of a secret society and influential French politician. He went to the reception to find his father.

Okay, I will wait!

I've played through one path of The Council Act 2 and noticed a few errors I made. Those errors have been fixed. I'm going to go through the other path to check for errors and I'll share the update with Курлыка to update the first post. If you guys experience any issues, feel free to send me a PM or post them here.

That's all right, I hope this project (First and Second acts) will be interesting for you

Finally, this ultra-super project it took me almost 2 weeks oh my god. Well, The Council is like a real movie. Maybe I thought this was so long, like a third act with more missions but at the same time I just like it the plot, cutscenes, dialogues, actions and many more. I played this project at the night and I feel like I saw a movie. My favourite Act was War and Peace. I'm not good at reviewing projects like this but I'm only saying my opinion for it. I don't find annoying at all at playing this Storyline. Hope my review is useful for you guys and keep it up the good job from now on! Very cool!

After watching AznKei's walkthrough of this project, I've found that it would only be appropriate to make improvements to the text and fix any crashes that occur during the storyline gameplay. With that will come improved dialogue as well.

Thanks for your work, really appreciate it! Fixing some crashes will be important for better experience.
Btw, here is the first screenshot from the final third act just to let people know that it in development

Amazing! I look forward to diving into the final act. I'll send you a preview of what I've done so far, soon after I finish revising the first act. This has definitely become one of my favorite projects/storylines in DYOM.
