Are the backgrounds your own graphics? Or did you rip them out of the game?

That's a very odd question. Out of which Monkey Island game could he possibly have ripped those sprites?

Ah, well, I wouldn't know if it were ripped from other places, I thought when he said "ripped from the game" he meant some MI game.

- graphics 2%
- puzzles 2%
- scripting 5%
- music/sound 0%

I know don't say it.

I think it must be said ... if this is all the further you are, you probably should have waited longer before making a post about it.

That being said; I don't think anybody is opposed to another MI game.  Good luck finishing it.  The last 3,291 MI fangames didn't make it ...

Private persons are a lot more sensitive about stealing their fan art, than corporations are about stealing the originals.

I think this is the only kind of game that I could make on my own (with stolen sprites, art, etc). It would be limiting to only be able to use the MI backgrounds and sprites but it might be a fun challenge to come up with an interesting story and good puzzles. If only I had more time on my hands.

I am not quite sure i'll get the chance to finish it. At least not alone.
Do not mock me, since I finished my other one(although it was ripped)
Plus I never said the images were mine. The monkey island logo yes, it's ripped(the cemetery)
You can find the image in all the MI fan sites. I think i took it from Worldof MI.
Plus the rain was made thanks to a Snow/Rain plugin. Oh no you ripped the rain. KILL HIM.
Heh.

Doesn't look like rain. It's too dark. Looks like an army of annoying insects. ;)
I'm composing the music for this game:

I know I should have added snow. You're right actually.

I wasn't mocking you.  I do wish you luck with the game.

Okay ... enough chatter about the graphics.  If you want some help with them post in the Critics Lounge.

Everybody else, to quote gold leader, "Stay on target ..."

Yay! Another MI game! :D

But, unfortunately (and I may be the only one to experience this) rapidshare deleted the file and I couldn't download it :(. Not that I could download it anyway.

I'd really liek to hook you up with some hosting. Just e-mail me the demo/trailer and I'll upload them to my ftp on spleen's server and then I'll give you the link. My e-mail address is in my profile.

I really want to see that trailer :).

Cheers and good luck with the game!

i think a moderator should lock this thread. Since rapidshare deleted my file and I don't have it so I can't upload it.

So since there is no game there is no thread.
So Shut this Off. Unless someone gives me the game.

Thank you.

No demo doesn't mean the thread has to be locked down.

...or did you lose your game files? The ones you make your game with?

I was such a fool that I thought that my files on Rapidshare would never be deleted so I deleted the file on my PC. So ok I have the game version and script but not the demo I made.
