Here are some screenshots and an early build of my current project, Armand and the Foppish Hat. It's a little adventure/rpg in the vain of the early Zelda games, but more text-heavy. It's meant to be silly, and the main character is indeed supposed to be as pompous as he sounds.

It's a very short game, sort of like a one-act play. I'm using it mainly to test the engine I built before I go about making a full-length game out of it.

Please keep in mind that this is an alpha version, so it's bound to have some problems. Also, not everything is complete. There are many enemies and NPCs missing at the moment, rooms don't have all of their decorations yet, some images will change (like the church, which needs work), there's a placeholder intro video, no ending video, etc. That said, I'd love to hear what you think of it so far.

Here are the keyboard commands:
Arrow Keys - movement
Z - primary weapon
X - secondary weapon
I - inventory
S - save game
L - load game
TAB - options menu
ENTER - advance dialog/open door/push/other
ESCAPE - quit

Anyway, here's the final build.

And here's the screenshots I promised:
