'The Next Curse' converted to latest AGS version (2.5)

[fidodido]

I've converted 'The Next Curse' to the latest version of AGS, and fixed some bugs and other things.

Things that was changed in this updated version:
1.  AGS 2.4 > AGS 2.5.
2.  Mouse cursor disappears in WAIT modes, what makes the game smoother.
3.  A bug that might get the player to be STUCK (in the Museum) was fixed.
4.  Several tiny bugs were fixed.
5.  The player can skip the introduction sequence.

das TOBI - AS:

First: is the game working fine now? Let me know please.

Second: You asked for it...

Spoiler

Use the axe on the dead owl to cut its stomach, and now you can take blood from it (with the test tube).

Spoiler

I`ve already done that... but the test cube...? Where can I get it?

[close]

Yes, the game works perfectly!

Spoiler

ok, it`s solved so far... I have the owl blood and the salt. But I don`t know, how to get rid of the guardian in the museum.

Important bug notify.

Everyone who got stuck in the museum (getting rid of the guard), read this:

Spoiler

There's a slight problem - if you took the nails before taking the sign, you'll be stuck. It shouldn't have happend, but I accidentely made the NAILS hotspot too big, and it was bigger than the SIGN object. You see, the nails shouldn't be active before you take the sign. If you had this problem, you can start the game from the point before you took the nails, or you can download the game again - I've updated the file.

I'm very sorry for this annoying problem.

[fidodido]

Hey, people...

I havn't heard from any of you a long time.

Has anyone finished the quest? What do you think about it?

A lot of people downloaded the game, but I get very few replies.

[-]

I`m still waiting for a hint, so I wasn`t able to finish it....

[fidodido]

Tobi - did you download the game again after I notified about the bug in the museum?

[-]

I havent this problem you speak about... which nails do you mean? I haven`t any nails.

[fidodido]

Tobi - here are some hints:

Note: start by reading the first hint only, and if you're stuck again, proceed to the next hint, and so on...

HINT 1:

Spoiler

To get rid of the guard, you have to go to the second room of the museum, and spill blood on the giant.

[close]

HINT 2:

Spoiler

Then, you have to use the camera on the giant, and bring the photo to the guard. The guard will go to the other room to check the giant.

[close]

HINT 3:

Spoiler

Now you have to lock the guard in the giant's room: pick up the big sign, and use it on the entrance to the giant's room. Then take the nails from where the sign was, with the crowbar. Use the nails on the sign.

[close]

Good luck...

Fido, your game is really good! I've really enjoyed it so far. I need to download it on my computer cause I downloaded it on my cousin's and played there.

Looks like only me and Tobi downloaded it so far..according to this thread anyway. What a friggin shame. The others don't know what they are missing, it really is great (so far ).

I guess what stalled me from downloading it when you first posted this thread (just downloaded this afternoon) were the two screenshots you show. The graphics didn't look that appealing, but they grow on ya after playing and they fit perfect

Everyone needs to play this. It's fun, the music is GREAT (I absolutly love the music in the museum) and it's got some excellent scripting

A must download me thinks, at least, I'm enjoying it pretty well

Two snakes up!

Okay, now I'm gonna check it out....

[fidodido]

Looks like only me and Tobi downloaded it so far..according to this thread anyway....

According to the Games Page - Medium Length Games, the game was downloaded 218 times so far...  It's just that very few people replied in this thread.

Hmpf, I haven`t seen before, that everybody is able to add his games to the list of the AGS-Games... now I`ve first seen it.
Ok, I will check it out.

Thanks for your help. I finished and the game was especially great.... !

I found it very intertaining, humorous, and I like the ending.

Spoiler

The scarecrow being Erwin's Grandfather, I didn't see that one coming

Hi all,

Has anyone found any bugs in the game? If so, post them here please.
And I'm still waiting for more comments about the game, from those who are playing it or played it.

[Snake]

I finaly got around to playing it again last night. I'm still at the beginning but I'm afraid I'm stuck. Can I have a hint?

Spoiler

I've got the: Crowbar, cheese on the fork, axe, red scarf, fake cat, sign.
I know I need to switch the cat in the museum with the preserved one, and somehow get the mouse out of the hole..but I need a hint Thanks
