Melrin: The Disciple Ordeal

Joacim Andersson · Wed 12/03/2003 11:38:01

Hi gang,
[ *OLD STUFF * ]
I've just completed part one of the first game I've ever made with AGS. It's called Melrin: The Desciple Ordeal, and I can't really tell you to much about it because the game starts with that our hero Melrin is in a strange land and he has no idea how he camed there, or why. Actually he doesn't remember anything, beside his name. So your job is first to find out how he camed there and why?

That's the first mission in the game, and because of that I can't tell you anything more about it.
[/ * OLD STUFF * ]
This is now the full 4 part game. I've changed the GUI a bit and also the resolution to 640x480 so you wont be confused by all the scrolling rooms.

You can download it from here:

Please let me know what you think of it, just keep in mind that this is my very first game... Ã,Â

Cheers,

Joacim

I've created a couple of screen shots for you to enjoy (or hate)...

I like it! Very interesting- it looks very similar to SNES RPGs. I didn't finish it yet, but i sure will

Just one suggestion: since it resembels RPGs so much, it would be good idea, if there would be only one cursor for all the actions (instead of Sierra GUI). I think it would be easier to play.

:o This is really good. I really am enjoying this game.

Spoiler

It really freaked me out when I decided to stick around and that monster chased me. I tried to run. But unfortunately could not escape.

I really liked the graphic style too. Only thing was the sound seemed very quiet on my computer. Had to jack up the volume.

Once I heard the music, I liked that too, matches the style of game.

Good job.

Igor:

I think the main reason it looks much like SNES RPG games is because I've created all the backgrounds using bitmap tiles, however I'm not sure that I want to change the GUI though...

FenderQ:

Spoiler

It's fully possible to escape from the monster even if he has started chasing you simply by leaving the screen (or the room to use AGS terms, but it's not really a room, is it

). But the thing is that you should not always try to escape from him...

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Nice little RPG.
I think you should add a couple of more music tunes. Having only that one is getting annyoying after a while.

Help:

Spoiler

I entered the door with the gold key, stood on the tile and opened the stairs. It seems like I need a light source to get in. Where do I get a light source?

Well, the entrance to where the light source can be found is a couple of screens south of the stairs. But you'll need some magical power to get in there. How many magical spheres have you found? Have you talked to the Ferry of the Heart?

Nostradamus · Tue 25/03/2003 18:20:08

well,

Spoiler

I talked to the fairy and the statue and found no spheres.

Joacim Andersson · Tue 25/03/2003 18:31:01

Spoiler

The fairy (I must change the spelling in my game <g>) gives you one sphere that gives you the power to stun and freeze some creatues (have you seen any you can use it on). When you have used it maybe you have time to admire the nature around you... And make sure you look at your items in the inventory list

Spoiler

well yes I did get the freeze spell and used it on that brown creature but I can't find anything there. Can you be more direct please?

[close]

Joacim Andersson · Wed 26/03/2003 23:20:23

Spoiler

OK... After you have freezed the creature make sure that you either look or interact with EVERY tree in that small forest, and again make sure that you have a look at each new item in the inventory...

Nostradamus · Thu 27/03/2003 16:21:51

Spoiler

OK thanks, I'll try that. That's hard cos there are trees everywhere in the gamemap so guessing there would be something in a group of specific trees is not something that would come to my mind.

Hey! Finally got round to d/loading it. Nice game youve got here.

Frogman · Fri 28/03/2003 04:25:19

Yeah, nice art! This is a cool game...music's from Chrono Cross, isn't it? I love the music in that game!

Nostradamus · Fri 28/03/2003 11:43:09

Spoiler

OK I dug the undertaker, and got the spell of braking. But I have no idea what I need to brake

Nostradamus:

Spoiler

Mountain walls! However most of them are solid, find places where they are not. When you stand on the screen where the bridge is have you noticed that you actually can go south from there? Another screen have water that are in the way so you can't explore all of it, can you reach that place?

Nostradamus · Sat 29/03/2003 15:27:27

more help please:

Spoiler

I found the place and broke the wall but that monster keeps killing me. I'm suppsoed to make him not see me so I suppose I need to find a sphere that gives me an invisibility spell. Where is it?

*Jimi drops dead after seeing the screenshots....then somehow manages to start downloading it!*

Nostradamus:

Spoiler

Actually my previous reply did give you a hint about that. If you want I could of course just tell you exactly where it is but would that be any fun? If you found the guardian you are close... Cross but do not enter but walk to the west... I don't know if I'm to cryptic but I don't think so...
