[repeatedly_execute_always]

Is this not a blocking function problem?
If z is relative to scaling, you should update z in a function repeatedly_execute_always or late_repeatedly_execute_always, because the scale changes as you walk.

Special thanks to Shadow1000 and mkennedy for helping with beta testing.

Have fun!

I'm sorry for the mess I caused getting the client out, and particularly to those of you, like Arlann, who couldn't download the client in time because of my delay.

No need for excuses, I just completely messed up my speech and my partner too... Maybe because it was dinner time.
This was my first ceremony and I am very impressed by the quality of the event. Thanks for this!

Congratulations to all the winners and nominees!
Because I live in the past I didn't download the client in time for the beginning of the ceremony, I just discovered my random avatar on youtube for the best demo award, LOL!
Thank you for this award and this ceremony.

POSSIBLE AWARDS:
Best Demo

Thank you for your comments they are very encouraging for the rest of the project.

- The puzzles, while not original, are good. My only concern is that the backgrounds are VERY busy so looking for items to interact with to solve the puzzles required a lot of hunting with the mouse. As well, the items only become available when they are needed or relevant. Which means that you have to start doing the mouse hunting all over again at every stage. Perhaps the graphics could make them stand out a bit more? Just a thought.

Many players confirm your opinion, we will rework the interactions and indices to improve the exploration part and avoid pixelhunting...

Even though the puzzles seem to block a lot of players, we are happy to have positive feedback on the gameplay and the atmosphere.
We'll try to find a better balance between the action and reflection part to allow different types of players to have fun.

I add this very nice article on the first post.

And it's cool to see the demo played on youtube!

If you are trying to load an old save during the game, you must leave the game without saving and load your save tape again.
I will work to improve this interface.

@ CyberUncleCat
Thank you for your message, the road is still long but we will do our best!

@Ibispi
Sorry for this bug, I have re-uploaded a fixed version that is compatible with save state.

Thank you all for your comments.

The first post is edited with the demo link.
I hope you will appreciate it.
All comments remarks feedbacks are welcome and will be useful for further development.

Happy end of the year !

Oh, there were reports about Windows 10 having issues with Direct3D. This might be related.

Winsetup tries to detect whether Direct3D is supported when it starts, so if operating system does not let it do that, it won't show in the list.

I think my problem appeared by doing "rebuild all files", I do not know if it is related, but I've been working with windows 10 for a year and I had not had this problem before. The resolutions predefined in the WinsetUp mode had also disappeared, only native resolution and desktop resolution remained. By changing the Windows compatibility property (right click on the exe file) of the AGS Editor or the build of the game, all parameters return.
Thanks!

I'm talking about the winsetup and I'm using version 3.4.0.16
I answered the problem by changing the windows properties of AGSEditor in compatibility mode "compatibility mode Windows 7" (I work on a windows 10).
All WinSetUp settings are available again.

Hi, for some days the graphics setting of my project no longer offers me the Direct3D driver and only "Desktop resolution" and "Native resolution" in the mode setting.
I've tested with an older backup of my project and I do not have this problem. I don't think I've changed the project settings so I don't see where the problem comes from. Any idea ?

Bravo
A very fun prologue with lots of good ideas, i like it. The French voices are particularly well made.
Good luck for the development!

I did not have talking view on this project...
May be doing something like this:

Code: ags

function repeatedly_execute() 
{
      
    if ( player.Moving == false && (player.View == VWALK || player.View == VTALK) ) {
        player.LockView(VIDLE);
        player.Animate(player.Loop, 0, eRepeat, eNoBlock);
    }
     
}

Edit : Or you could try this :

Code: ags

function repeatedly_execute() 
{
      
    if ( !player.Moving && !player.Animating && !player.Speaking && player.View != VIDLE ) {
        player.LockView(VIDLE);
        player.Animate(player.Loop, 0, eRepeat, eNoBlock);
    }
     
}

[player.UnlockView();]

Use player.SetIdleView(7, -1); to get rid of that slight delay

I think it will start walking animated view instead of the idle view...
I also noticed this little delay problem on my playable character, but not on the NPCs. (I don't understand why...)
So I made like this:

Code: ags

function repeatedly_execute_always() 
{
  
  if ( player.Moving == false && player.View == VWALK ) {
    player.LockView(VIDLE);
    player.Animate(player.Loop, 0, eRepeat, eNoBlock);
  }

}

I also added player.UnlockView(); in my on_mouse_click function before calling the walk command.
