LOL! of course (laugh)
Btw I don't mind dying.. it's a kind of "retro-frustation" that is totally absent in modern games ^^ And I appreiate it. It makes you play, and play and play again.

Hi AprilSkies.

Sheesh! I have found a way of implementing the 'Escape key' to skip the Death scene. ;-D
I have had to change some script around though.

Give me some time to finish it and I will let you know, here, when I have uploaded the revised Version.
Btw... Have you reached a save point yet?
There are three of them to be reached throughout the game.

Yours.
Jay.

Ciao RetroJay,

I really got fun playing this game :-D
It made me remind Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion, do you know this ?
Only good thoughts for me anyway, congratulations again :)

Hi Vincent.

Thank you very much for your positive feedback.
I am so pleased that you enjoyed playing my game. ;-D
I must say that I am not familiar with 'Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion'. I will have to look it up.

Did you get your trophy? ;)

Hi All Good Peeps.

I have just Up-loaded my revised version of 'The Decorator'.
After a suggestion from 'AprilSkies' you can now Skip the cutscene when Dan runs, Terrified, out of the Mansion by pressing the 'Escape' key. ;-D
I have also updated the 'Readme' file in the game folder.

I hope this alleviates the frustration. ;)

Yours.
Jay.

Ehy RetroJay,

I'll be honest here but I keep dying all the time again :-D

I wish I could have some kind of cheats...
...but jokes aside, I still have to finish it (?!!) (roll) eheh

I'll definitively put this game on my folder of (Only great games build in Ags are allowed here !) :-D

Hi RetroJay.

I know that I have already tested your game... But.
I have just downloaded your game to try it out with the changes you have made and noticed that the download counter seems to be stuck at 35.
With my download it should be 36. ???

Edit:
Never mind.
It does seem to be working as I just checked and its gone up to 37. (laugh)

Me too ;-D The Decorator made me dig up my old disks and get Crystal Caves and Secret Agent. Just as I stabilized my AGSing pace now I got addicted to this!

Hi Barbwire.

That would be just my luck.
I looked at my downloads this morning and it was on 35.
I thought it strange how it hasn't budged, since then, by even one.

Edit:
Hi AnasAbdin.
I'm glad that my game has made everyone Nostalgic. (laugh)

Edit Again:
Ah. Thanks Barbwire.
I too noticed that my downloads have changed... Phew!
All is well with the world. (laugh)

Yours.
Jay.

yay!

And Retro-Jay.. read my "retro"-frustation as a good thing, not a bad one ^^
Who played Megaman on the SNES will understand what I mean

It's ok AprilSkies.

I know exactly what you mean by "Retro"-frustration.
I started gaming on the Spectrum 48k and played games like 'Jet Set Willy' and 'Technician Ted'.
After going through all the models of 'Sinclair Spectrums' (Not the ones that 'Lord Sugar's Amstrad company murdered) I then went through the Commodore series ending up with the Amiga 500.
I upgraded that to a whole... wait for it!... a whole whopping 1mb. (laugh)

Nearly every game, back then, frustrated the hell out of me but I kept coming back for more punishment. ;-D
I'm glad that my game has delivered some 'Retro-Frustration' it was just what I intended to do. ;)

I am so happy that people have enjoyed my game.
I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Yours.
Jay.

Great game, a unique mix of retro arcade action and adventure game. Definitely frustrating, but "just one more go"ish!

Also, I really like how the title screen evokes good old Spectrum/C64 cassette box art, sets the tone nicely.

RetroJay

Hi Saub.

Thank you for your kind words.
I am really happy that you like my game and my artwork. ;-D

Now go on, I'm sure you have time for "just one more go". (laugh)

Yours.
Jay.

I've tried the game. It looks promising but I gave up for now:
1) I can't figure out the controls, despite the instructions board. It might have something to do with my AZERTY keyboard though. Am I supposed to have some magical paint at the beginning? I can't grab the golden key at the top-left corner.
2) It took me some time to notice that I could use the ladder downstairs. I wanted to open the white door so bad :=
3) the character is a bit slow for my taste.
4) I'm a wimp these days so dont't take these criticisms at face-value.

Kudos for the very lively mansion. I'll come back to it someday.

Hi.

Looks good so far ;)

RetroJay

Hi Creamy.

Thank you for playing my game. ;-D
I have sent you a PM to see if I can help you get started.

Yours.
Jay.

RetroJay

I hope you enjoy playing. ;-D

Don't give up, Remember "No retreat, No surrender!". (laugh)

Yours.

Just gave it a try and it's very addictive! :-D
I probably won't have the patience to complete it unfortunately, I never liked the "die and start over". Wish you had added more checkpoints, or even let the player "cheat" and save at each door.
Is there anyway to restore sanity?
I keep getting hit cause I get stuck trying to get on or leaving the stairs. :-[ When on it you can walk slightly to the sides, but unless you're right at the top or at the bottom the you get "stuck" (meaning you leave the up/down view). Maybe you could have "locked" the player on the up/down views until one can actually walk away from the stairs?

Think I'll give the link to my dad, it's just his type of game. (nod)(laugh)
There are those who believe that life here began out there...
