Yay, my first game finished! (Well the first one that my brother didn't accidentally delete before it was uploaded anyway)

You can download it from the page:
http://www.wn.com.au/cpandsawalker/game/index.html

or else a direct link to the game:
http://www.wn.com.au/cpandsawalker/game/game.zip

There are also going to be improved music and speech downloads, but I haven't uploaded them yet.

I suppose I should tell you the game is fairly short, but hopefully not too hard! I used photos for all of the graphics but I think it looks... well, alright! I'm really bad at drawing anyway

Hehe, the use of photos looks much more interesting than I thought and its kind of freaky, nice for a first game.
Critic: Sometimes I find the words on the bottom a bit hard to read, and I am not really sure about the exits in some roomes.

Yes, I knew about the exits, that's why I added the feature where you can use the arrow keys to move - it helps! However, since you found it a problem, I will try to fix it. I had thought maybe it wouldn't be worth the bother, and it was just me who couldn't get them to work.

I will also try to fix the writing at the bottom, thanks for pointing it out.

abibliophobe · Sat 18/12/2004 13:21:41

I will also make a walkthrough for the game at some stage

abibliophobe · Sat 18/12/2004 13:38:43

Me again lol

I liked the girls sitting on the first photos and how they are moving. Are they your girlfriends?

Vespr · Sat 18/12/2004 23:03:00

I'm getting the exit problem too, but I love the music, especially the "Rubber Ducky" song!

abibliophobe · Sun 19/12/2004 12:55:06

I've (tried to) fix the exits and the words at the bottom, and I'm uploading it now. (The link will be the same.)

I have made a walkthrough, available at http://www.wn.com.au/cpandsawalker/game/walkthrough.txt

And one of those girls is my sister if that answers your question!Ã,Â Ã,Â

Also, I picked the music to match various "themes" from the people in the game (eg. Chris acts like Sesame Street is his favourite show... or maybe it is...). In the classroom (if you got there) it should be the theme from The Great Escape, which I spent basically the whole school year humming.

wow, it's actually better than I thought it would be. great job! ...still playing...

SGK · Mon 20/12/2004 03:16:07

Really good game! havent finished yet..

EDIT: btw, you uploaded just 2mb of the speech files..!

abibliophobe · Mon 20/12/2004 13:08:09

Oops, did I? Well I'll upload the full speech pack soon! (And the "improved" music one too)

Ooooh, which one is it? Which one?

abibliophobe · Tue 21/12/2004 01:32:42

She's the one on the far left lol

Totoro · Tue 21/12/2004 15:04:07

How mean you cut her in half

By the way I had a bug: When looking for "something" SHE wanted me to search, AFTER I fulfilled her first wish, I got

(Global Script Line 117)
Error; New room: requested 2 room changes within one script

when clicking around in the bushes and trees on the left side of the sesame-street-guy screen.

abibliophobe · Wed 22/12/2004 01:40:43

Hmm... I'll check it out. (see if I can get the same problem anyway!)

Do you think it would be a short game or a medium game?
