Ok ok okÃ, ;D i guess i will just make a game named boris da dog(boris is my dogs name)Ã, ;D i need some dogs and some objects including bgs oh and animations(When they shoot with their snipers) :P
*Edit* The main dog is boris and he could have a bandana ;)
*Edit again* I could make the setup file and website and rooms
*Edit For the third time* Hmm i maybe could make it swedish too but i will start with the english one
Note: Boris COULD be a bulldog(English) but its ok if you make another dog ;)
shoot with snipers? You do know this is ADVENTURE game studio, rite?
And making a platformer is a hard task, with lots of scripting involved. Why not get up of your ass and make the grapics yourself? Or use RON templates, you cant expect everyone to do everything for you ya know.

The main dog (Which is boris) could solve puzzles get the news paper for his owner ;D

No snipers then only a dog walking and solving puzzles and so on ;D
Another PhilRoberts2004, eh?

*Slaps hand against forehead*

Need I say anymore?
OHHHH sorry mister!!11!!!
despite the fact ive just drawn you a dog, just for you. Your now bossing me around telling me to do the walking animations?
ohh and whats that, yet ANOTHER thread, mann i tried to be nice to you at the start buts its people like you that just get on everyone's nerves.
your ignoring everything that everyone says, do what pumaman says, he's the person who made bloody ags after all. Make a demo game by yourself, maybe just a one roomer.
It would help if you had somthing to show for yourself, rather than just saying "hmm i think ill make a game about a dog ... yeh a dog!!!! my dog!!!! it can have snipers and 100000 rooms and everything!!!
sorry for getting carried away, but your ignoring everyone.
geez :-\ u dont have to get that crazy...
Blimey OSC, calm down.
Anyway, Legge, if you want anybody to take you seriously, then you really need to make a game by yourself first. It doesn't matter if you can't draw, just draw the best graphics you can in MS Paint, and make a decent game with them.
Once people have seen that you have the motivation to actually finish a game, they may well help you with your art for your next game.
Thx pumaman
You can't just walk into a forum and ask people to do a story for you, much less the AGS forum, where most people are fairly serious about their game-making. Oh, and animations and backgrounds and characters, too. And the statement "I'm thinking of making a game" would be a downright lie, seeing as you're barely doing anything aside scripting (which is NOT the most important part of a game).
You might be the best game-maker in the world, but why on earth do you think people would want to help you when all you do is say "draw a dog", followed by "excuse me? Where are the walking animations?". These are real people with real lives, and as nice as we all are, we don't just put our lives on hold to make games for other people who give orders.
There have been a lot of people who say they want a 'team', and three weeks later they decide to cancel the project. Until we know you are any different (you could show this by actually doing something yourself) you can't expect people to treat you differently.
Anyway, welcome to the forums.
I have to agree, though I hope you've gotten the point by now.
I read the topic for this thread and honestly thought it was a joke. I thought it was gonna be someone pretending to be a newbie or talking about how this sort of thing annoys them. :P
Anyway, like Peter and OSC said, you need to do smething for yourself before you can ask others to be involved with you on a project. I wish you a lot of luck though, and don't be discouraged. A lot of people start out by getting it in their head that they just want to "make a game" but then when it comes to actually putting it together, they find they haven't got any ideas.
To be honest, I think the story is the most important part of "making a game". The story is really what makes a game yours. If all you want to do is the scripting, you're better off offering your services to someone else who's planning their own game. Even then, you still have to have a 'resume', ie. a game that shows you have a lot of skill in scripting.
Have a go at something really simple on your own though. The graphics don't even have to matter, draw stick figures or something if you don't want to create your own graphics in the end. Just put something together so you can get a feel for how the engine works.
Like I said before, good luck! ^_^
I can't draw either... but I could scrap up a few stories, so...

You'll just need to use your imagination...
And did you try the "Make my game" option of AGS...?
Yeah, the make my game function is great. It makes a compelling story and graphics at the quality of King's Quest VII, digital music and sound effects just with 5-6 clicks. You'll have to choose the theme first, though.
Legge. R U 4 RE@L?
Or are you the alter ego of a very known member that tries to pull a fast one.
He's the pleursgasffsd guy who got bored of making pleursgasffsd...

OMG YOU PISS ME OF YOU BASTARD :P

OMG YOU PISS ME OF YOU BASTARD :P
Obviously the grasp of the English language is just beyond your masterful skills as a game maker. "YOU PISS ME OF YOU BASTARD" doesn't quite make sense. You have a clause, "of you bastard" attached to an incomplete thought, "you piss me". I believe the correct statement you were going for was "You piss me off, you bastard." The use of the word "off" instead of "of" makes this thought more complete, and the use of punctuation makes it even better. Also, The CAPS LOCK key lies less that 7/8th's of an inch to the left of the 'A' key.
As for your subject, need story, animations, bgs, and characters, you should have just said "I need a game". Well, Legge, you're in luck, because on the main AGS there are PLENTY of games you can d/l for free, which are fun and entertaining and they have all of those things you want.
Have fun playing them, and enjoy your evening!

How old are you?
While I do have hours of time on my hands to make other people's games, unfortunately I'm currently in two teams and three might be too much.
EDIT:
I did, however, make you a bed.
I was looking for someplace worthwhile to post my 400th post...so you better be damn grateful it was here...
Here, okay.
(http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/dogjoke.gif)
I spent a couple of hours on this, so be a wee bit happy? Okay? ::)
Zor, you fool! You have just enlisted your soul to the "make my game for free" cult.
Of course, along with this, you must expect endless criticisms, like "wtf are his OTHER LEGS! OMGOSH! A 2-LEGGED-DOG! ROFLMFAO! YOU P!SS ME OF YOU B@ST@RD"
And next you will write a 13 part orchestral score, complete with brass/piano fingering and arpeggiated flute parts.
EDIT: oh, legge, before you criticise people, take a hint: these people are doing you a favour. You said yourself you can't draw, so what right do you have to say what you want. Hey, I just had an idea. If you have an idea of the sort of dog you want drawn, then go and draw it.
I don't want to be mean, but believe me, people can be a lot worse...
Wouldn't that be a trip if Andy Penis, PhilRoberts2004, 333/kill666/deathmetal333, and legge were all the same person?
I'm not saying they are, but just a thought.
I dont know if they are the same person, but they most certainly have something in common.

6. go to the RON site (reality on the Norm) at http://ron.the-underdogs.org/
7. click the resorces link at the top and download the resorce file.
8. have a look at these files and import which characters you want into ags (read manual)

10. create a puzzle within the room, find the dog bone maybe?
11. go to the ags folder and then to your game name folder, dogquest maybe.
12. Now right click the compiled folder and click add to compiled.zip.
13. Upload that file to your website

18. dont bother posting it on the ron site, its only a one roomer afterall
Now you better be greatful, that took a while to write. Is it helpful?
OSC, thats EXACTLY what the "Make my game" button does. It's right beneath the walkable areas section in room editor. You cant miss it.

Um, I was joking. I wasn't serious. I draw that freehand in paint.
Legge, now I know you're a joke. It's probably TK, as he was the most person to reply to tis thread...
Actually, not. I'm trying to drive him nuts. That's why I have the most replies in this thead... and I don't post at night local time, but he seems to do...
