I am posting this here because it is an adventure game question and is also a cool link for you to see and I wanted to make sure that you saw it. I hope thats ok. So here's the deal. I am going to continue making Springfield Woes. But I need to add some originality to the game.

If you go here: http://www.simpsonsmovie.com/main.html
You will find an avatar creator. You can create your own character here. If you create a character file for AGS 3.0 and upload it, I will use you in my game. Its as simple as that. Whatever extra animations you create with your character, will also be used. Here's the catch, for now, only the first 20 submissions will be accepted.


So create away! Here's mine:

Neat! They need to sort out that anti-glide mode, though. :P

Anyway, I'm not going to turn this into a character file, thats your job isnt it? :P But, maybe you can put "me" in a window requiring only a simple talking anim...here's an old Simpsons character of me I made on one of those Simpsonize yourself websites some time ago. Feel free to use it, or not, I'm not fussed :)



It looks nothing like me though... hehe!

PS, Why do I have it in my head that you like Tay Zonday? Nothing to do with your Simpsons character, I was thinking this earlier today... I think I may have dreamt it last night, lol!



Joseph DiPerla

HEHE... I know exactly where to put your little portrait ;) I think you will like it.

And, yes, it is my job. But to make my job a little easier, part of this is to have each one of you cut the frames out and make it into a character.

Its a fun little utility. Me, my wife and my brother will have a cameo in the game thanks to this thing.

Here's my horrible abomination. I would have preferred to draw my own Simpsonized version, however. Oh well.

Maybe I'll make a sprite. What's the pixel size of Homer in your game? It would give me an idea of how big to make 'em.


Joseph DiPerla

Just use a snapshot program similar to snagit. Or print screen. Keep doing that every walk cycle. Then use GIMP or paint and draw a selection around the character. Copy it, paste it in a new paint session.

The size varies per character. Like Marge is 55 in width and 188 in height in pixels, while homer is wider and mr burns is shorter.

Well, that was just an initial mockup for you. What I am actually gonna do is put that image on a poster and have it referred to you as the world famous musician...

Hey, in a video game, everything is possible.

 :) When Will This Game Be released, I'm Looking Forward To Playing It

Joseph DiPerla

Very hard to tell. This game has been in production as long as some other games such as Zak 2, or FOY. So, I would say atleast a year and a half with no promises. If I had a team working with me helping me rip sprites and edit current ones and with someone setting up the rooms with all the masks, it would be a lot sooner.

But since I have always been on my own, it has taken long and seems it is going to continue to take a long time. Just the way Game making is I guess... Sorry.

 :( Is Their Any Way You Can Make A Demo Version For Now?

And By The Way That Snapshot Of Your Game Looks Like It's Been Taken From An Old
Simpsons Game I Have Called "Virtual Springfield".

When Your Game Is Finnished It Sounds Like It Will Be A Great Game! :)

Joseph DiPerla

Actually, it is taken from several elements, including Virtual Springfield and Simpson Cartoon Studio. Actually, I have two games and a template going on right now.

Template and big game is here: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=2667.0
There is no demo, but the template should be good enough to give you an idea.

This is the Where's Maggie game and it has a demo:

It's sure great for creating nerdy characters... although that's remotely looking like me at best.  :P

Anyway. Let's see if I can turn that thing into a semi-usable character file before I lose my motivation again.
