Hi! I just thought I'd introduce the project I'm currently working on. It's my first game ever with AGS and is in productions since about a month. It's one of those one-room-adventures where essentially you have to get out seomhow. This is because I first wanted to learn the scripting and everything about AGS before I leap into a huge project that never gets done.
You can find screenshots at http://www.jesterdazeproductions.de.vu under games section.

[EDIT]Bug reports from the beta testers are coming in and I'm currently fixing more bugs. The game is moving towards a releasable version and might even feature some background music from one of the testers. Check back soon![/EDIT]

Wow, your drawing skills are magnifercent!! (dunno how to spell it) :o :o

I am very much looking forward to this game, only seeing these screenshots. Good luck with the game progress!

Looks very nice, I love the light coming from the barred wondow

.
What's happening in screenshot 3?

Anyway I'm anticipating this game, all the deatils in the backgrounds make me feel this'll be a good one-room game

Thanks for your replys. The game should be out by the end of next week. I still have to finish the background art, do about three more animations and very little scripting, including some bug fixing.

GinnyW: You'll have to wait until you get to play it to find out that one.

Looks good

I wonder the third screenshot aswell...

Wow, nice. Great screenshots.

Spoiler

I think the third one is the player pulling a mouse out of his hole

Good luck!

The game is almost done now, but I'd need some people to test it. I wanted to release it tonight already, but on the final test I found a serious bug that prevents the player from finishing the game. I'll work on that in the next days and release the beta as soon as I've got rid of the bug.
If anyone would like to volunteer for testing please go to the website in my signature and post in the forum. You don't even have to sign up.
Hope to recieve some responses. Thanks!

[EDIT] Just to let everyone know, the beta has been released, so now it's the time to sign up if you want to test it.[/EDIT]

looks nifty, and a lot like LJE

what ever happened to KANDYMAN anyway?

your character looks great, and your other game, vipor, is SOOOOO addictive

I'm glad you like it FruitTree. There currently is a beta of Augustus uploaded, but unfortunately the finished version will never be released, since I had to take my PC on a 7 hour cartrip, with the result that the mainboard and both of my harddrives got killed. Now I'm working on my sisters laptop and for some mysterious reasons, I can't find that f***ing backup disk. So I'm stuck with a executable of the beta that I can't edit. This really pisses me off, since the release version was almost done - the credits were the only thing left to fix...
If anyone wants to play the beta, you can download it here:

But beware! There are still some nasty bugs and one can even screw up the end sequence. Then there are some more minor bugs where the main character says something completely inapropriate, because of GUI to text script switching. I wish I could have given you the final version, it's a lot more fun without the bugs...

[EDIT]Oh, and for some reason the site is down. Don't know why, but I'll be looking for a new one soon anyway, since the current one hasn't shown much stability. If anyone knows any add free ftp hosts it would be great to let me know![/EDIT]
