Here's some screenshots of a cubic room demo game that I am on with using Awakening
With a lot of scripting help from Vincent we've made quite a nice adventure game system, which has on screen dialog and inventory, also the cursor and control system used in the cubic rooms

the game pans by either left click and hold or by moving the cursor to towards the screen edges
cursors change for moving forward, take etc
look at items in inventory can enlarge, ie notes, cards etc

When the demo is complete it'll come with a tutorial

I used Truespace 6.6 to model the scene, lighting and cameras was done in Bryce 5.5 also rendered the 6 cubic images with Bryce, which are converted to DDS to use in Awakening
The main puzzle will be animated in Awakening

The demo main puzzle..

Inventory...

Big thanks to Vincent and all his help so far

Here's the original cubic image of the skull puzzle there's very little loss in quality between the two, no worse than any other cubic engine!:

Looks good. When are releasing the demo??
Thanks
Matthew

probably in a couple of weeks, most of the navigation and inventory items are done, its mainly the main puzzle and removable items that can be seen from other nodes to do.. i may add some more nodes it depends how big the file size is!

there is a two node test run me and Vincent did, but its an earlier version main game.LUA

You can download vesion 0.5 here:
http://www.nigecstudios.co.uk/awakening/skull.zip

It features 8 cubic nodes, 3 2D scenes and an animated scene
you can pan by left click and hold or by moving the cursor to the screen edge
Vincent did the main game.kua, items and inventory .. well all the scripting really! i just did a lot of copy and pasting
it has animated billboards for flames, you can also do 3D animation in cubic nodes

The plan now is to do the tutorial and add animated characters in the first node along with a better ending and fix the puzzle, i messed up the rendering

Anyway i might not be around much for a few weeks, i just wanted to upload the file before i go offline

feel free to take it apart and have a look to see how it works
