Just Another Point n Click Adventure

CMonkey · Thu 30/01/2003 01:44:50

Holy underpants batman! It's Just Another Point n Click Adventure (Part 1)

Yes, i have finished a game, well part 1 of a game. I was going to release a demo but i think that 18 rooms is more than a demo, so it's part 1, and that's that.

I started this game about 100 years ago, and only in the last 6 months have i started working on it again, and it's finally ready.

Check out some screenies here:
http://www.geocities.com/lollygobbleblisbombs/CMonkey/Screenshots.htm

And download it here:
http://www.geocities.com/lollygobbleblisbombs/CMonkey/Downloads.htm

Zip file here:
http://www.geocities.com/lollygobbleblisbombs/CMonkey/JAPNCA.zip

Now geocities is a pain (i got shut down last time i put a demo up (many years ago)), so if someone is willing to host the game, i'd be most grateful.

Please make sure you read the readme first, it has some valuable info about the controls. I'm using a LEC style interface, but you can select options with the mouse wheel (if you have one) and via keyboard.

I won't tell you much about the story except that it's a LEC style game, with 2 usable characters (but not at the same time). Here are some stats to make it seem worth the download; the game has...

Rooms 18 (2 Intro, 1 Credits, 15 interactable)
Sounds 65
Flic 1
Sprites 544
Code Over 11 thousand lines
Inventory Items 23 Useable Items
GUI 6 used
Dialogs 24
Views 33
Characters 13 used characters, 8 different characters

Um, yeah so there it is, download it! Tell me what you think, email me, help me, go! Go now! This is your life! and it's ending one minute at a time!

man..I wanna get this game..but the download doens't work..

somebody host this man! I am wanting to play!

EDIT: working now..so I am downloading. I'll edit again once I play

EDIT 2: DUDE! This game is pretty cool..in fact, I venture to say that this is one of the better AGS games I've played in a while...(and that's pretty impresive, seeing as I just finished search for the don and keptosh...

I'm stuck..but I'm a moron, and I always get stuck. I'll get unstuck soon.

CMonkey · Thu 30/01/2003 04:03:57

DAMN! I knew that would happen. It happened pretty quick though. I'd hate for my game to become unpopular because people couldn't download it!

MrColossal · Thu 30/01/2003 05:07:36

that's, ok just take the Butcher route and email it to everyone... then they'll really hate you

and i loved this demo when i played it, how the mom appeared like Manananannnananannanana

CMonkey · Thu 30/01/2003 06:03:29

Wow, i didn't think anyone would remember the demo.

That's one of my favorite bits too, but theres another... but i can't say, wouldn't want to spoil it.

CMonkey · Thu 30/01/2003 06:06:43

It's possible to get the game again, but please go to the Downloads.htm instead of just getting the zip, geocities doesn't seem to like it if people just download files without going to the page and not seeing their adds, capitalist b.... hey! hey! booohuh huh huh haaaa

Trapezoid · Thu 30/01/2003 07:08:06

I checked the intro out, it looks great, I will definately play it. One question though, is there supposed to be music? I dont hear any.

CMonkey · Thu 30/01/2003 23:32:43

There's no music in the game unfortunately. I was hoping someone woul help me out here :

Trapezoid might write music for you. He's good, very good. If you haven't listened to "Don't be like the Sun" at: http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=3587

Do so now! It's great!

Trapezoid · Fri 31/01/2003 01:27:00

Maybe... I'm not as dependable as M0Ds though. I could probably write a few new songs... Also consider using some songs from my MIDI30 library: http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=1721;start=0
Also, some music directly from LucasArts games would be cool. http://highland.mixnmojo.com

CMonkey · Fri 31/01/2003 01:49:28

Some of the music from some LucasArts games would be cool. I love the Monkey Island 2 midi's. How does copyright work with those things? I know i've already used the Indy character, but could take him out given a day or two of animation. It's not like i'm trying to make money off the game though.

That highland link is really cool, i'll listen to those midis to inspire me to work on my game more.

I'm getting the other midi's now, if i want to use any of them, what do i do, just put them in and credit you in the credits?

Trapezoid · Fri 31/01/2003 04:05:50

Yep, also if there are some parts you can't find an appropriate song for, I could make one for you.
As for copyright issues, don't worry about it. There have been several games that have used LucasArts music, heck, play Night of the Hermit for a full blast copyright infringement. LucasArts shut down a couple of MI fan games right before EMI came out, but I believe that's it, so don't worry about it.

I remember this game a while back...I'll be downloading it as soon as I can. I recommend everyone else do the same, because from what I remember, this was very well done.
