Completed Game Announcements / Re: Maniac Mansion Mania - Episode 41 - Das neue Jugendschutzgesetz [GER/ITA]

« on: 21 Sep 2018, 15:10 »

Come on, guys, get on with it! If you like, get into the game as a translator for all the fans in your Country!
Just get in touch with the author (ConeRX from the Maniac Mansion Mania forum) or even with the Monkey Island World Forum, listed among the credits in the presentation topic from Blackmonkey!

I know very little German, and I know nothing about Italian. So I probably can't do a good translation. But if anyone wants any English proof reading.

None the less, glad to hear there's at least some effort gone to the translations of these games.

Any chance of this ever being translated to English as well?

Adventure Related Talk & Chat / Re: AGS & JRPG GAMES PUBLISHING COMPANY

« on: 20 Sep 2018, 12:47 »

Yes, that´s correct! The point is pretty much a physical Hardcopy, in a DVD package, or a box. However the
idea was that many small Indie Game Makers, together creating a bigger publisher. They acts as many things,
as, creating packages (like Playstation boxes), or classic 90´s game boxes, they burning DVDS, selling, and
owning their own advertising company, with make the advertising much cheaper in some cases. like publishing
big posters of the game.

The point is to make Indie Games more popular to people who doesn´t heard of the titles. Because of the BIG
BOYS steal´s the scene. If this collective Indie Game Publisher, get monthly auto money transaction from all
whish to help the company, so they maybe could have enough money, to other, more expensive advertisings.

That... actually sounds like a viable business plan.
There's already a company doing something similar (I can't remember their name from the top of my head, but you probably know what I'm talking about), but they only seem to do popular indie games, and for a limited amount of time. This sounds like it could work.
The hardest part will be about keeping everything cheap while still maintaining a profit. But I think you could do it.

I saw in the news that one of the bigger causes of suicides are tied to sexuality: trans or homosex people that not are well accepted by the society.

Yup, suicide is pretty gay.

I know I shouldn't laugh at this, but I can't help it.

So do you just want to improve other people's artwork for fun? To be helpful? To improve yourself?
I'd like to know your motivations.

Modules & Plugins / Re: MODULE: Hint Highlighting

« on: 16 Sep 2018, 17:48 »

I've been messing about with your new module, and I've improved it a tiny bit. Firstly by drastically increasing the speed in which it calculates everything, although now a hotspot has to be at least 2x2 to be detected. Secondly, by making the various rectangles more identifiable from each other.

Here's my version of your module, incase you want to incorporate any of those changes: LINK.
I don't know how to use GitHub, hence why I'm putting it here.

A few things to note though, that you need to improve on your module yourself.
Firstly, it only points out hotspots. What about objects and characters?
Secondly, you really need to make it pause the game when it's being used, because if you hold in the H key while walking in a scrolling room, the drawn rectangles follow the screen.
Thirdly, consider changing the default key to the spacebar, since that's usually what most games set this kind of hint thing to.

I remember something like this called "ShowInteractiveAreas" by Billbis.
I wonder how yours differs though, and which is better.

That mouth is creepy.

Hahaha I know, but the only 2 visible teeth is iconic in this character (The most of the fan art have the smile, but it's a little bit creepy in the style that I choose hahaha)
But here I made a version without the smile

I've not watched the series yet, so maybe I'm not the best one to listen to when it comes down to iconic things in the series.

Alright, this almost certainly isn't the game you're looking for, since it's both 2D, and wasn't released on the PC to my knowledge. But damn, does it check off the rest in your description.

There's also Toejam and Earl.

Once again though, none of these games were released on PC as far as I know.

The game you're describing does sound vaguely familiar though. I'll keep looking for you.

I know these are pre-rendered 3D. But there's always the chance you could be mis-remembering the graphics.


The Feeble Files


Gubble


Gubble II


There's also possibly this game.


E.T. for the PS1

General Discussion / Re: World Suicide Prevention Day

« on: 12 Sep 2018, 12:37 »

Quite simple really. Our core drives are few, and pretty much everything we want or do in life springs forth from these. For many people, especially these days, fulfilling those core drives is an impossibility. Most people so afflicted don't realise this but it still creates subconscious anguish, thus depression. Eventually some figure out that they are doing nothing but going through the motions of a lifestyle, they look ahead to the future and see nothing that will change this. You know the rest.

I think like that, but I'm not depressed. We call it nihilism.
And you can be nihilistic and happy. Like me!

Nothing's coming to mind, although that could be because my knowledge of obscure games lies more within 1999 to 2001.

Hmm... how good was the 3D?
The more information you can give the better.

I would love to join, but recently I've not been as active on the forums as I'd like to. So I'm afraid I would end up joining, but wouldn't end up participating. And I wouldn't want to ruin it.
But consider me a spectator.

I feel like this should be ringing bells with me... but it isn't really.

Same here, it looks like some sort of weird cross between an adventure game and a DnD game by Strategic Simulations.
Did they ever make an adventure game?
