FoY - special xmas intro!

[m0ds]

Check out the special Christmas intro!

I don't want to make a meal of it, so I'll make a miez of it instead!

http://screen7.adventuredevelopers.com/foy/

The new website, thank you miez, sterling work old chap!

[danny*]

Thats GREAT to hear!!!

[ratracer]

Hear, hear.

[Pet Terry]

Awesome! This is going to be a very good game.

[Matt Brown]

if its ever finished.

I'll say it here. M0ds...I don't think you will finish a full game before 2004.

:p

[Snake]

WOOT!!!1 Fricken stylin M0ds! I've been waiting forever for this!

*sings the Indiana Jones & The Fountain of Youth is Back in Developement Song*


--Snake

[danny*]

i think that everybody would be more patient,..if only Mods could show us AT LEAST ONE SINGLE screenshot!!!  

[m0ds]

I only just got the background artist and character artist problems sorted out. You should see a screenshot in February some time.

I've had a real boost lately, so yes Mr Panda you're right you probably wont see a FINISHED product until 2004. If it all went smoothly I reckon KI could be out by the end of this year, tho.

Anyway thanks for the encouragement. FoY is the game I've been wanting to make for ages, I want to make it more than Kinky Island - its just finding the right team thats taken a year, LoL. Hopefully the current team will work wonders


m0ds

[Snake]

m0dsie, will it be sold like KI or is it a free download. I'll definately buy it if you sell it.

KI looks and sounds ok, but FOY has loosened my bowels.


--Snake

[Scummbuddy]

*sniff*, you went on without me...


Mods, I can change, I can draw.....well I guess its alright, schools starting and I'll probably never have enough time to meet your constraints.

[Pesty]

Yay! I've been looking forward to FOY since I first heard about it. Then I was all sad when development stopped. But now I'm happy again!

If you ever need an archaeology consultant or an extra artist, I'm always here to help.

On a side note, this is the first time I've ever used a smiley in this forum. Today is a historical day!

[m0ds]

Indeed it is, congratulations on the smiley! :p As for an archeology consultant - I'll certainly keep that in mind. The game isn't 100% planned yet so I may need some help with choosing locations of archeological interest.

Scummbuddy, if you want to help with sketches/concept art you're more than welcome too

Snake, FoY will be a download. No speech, no mp3 etc - it shouldn't be too big to download. Kinky Island just comes with a lot of extras ya see. AND A T-SHIRT!1 :p (even though you will still be able to download KI, but you won't get the t-shirt)

Anyhoo, I'm glad it's pleased people that FoY is back again - it's certainly not a project I'd ever abandon and let it rot. Let's all hope it goes to plan

m0ds

[Vel]

Cool! I'm really looking forward to this!

[magintz]

sweet

[m0ds]

Here's the first official screenshot from one of the finished intro backgrounds.




m0ds

[Privateer Puddin']

OMG, thats superb

[LordHart]

Awwhwaaa..... oops. Sorry I have to go and change my pants after seeing that bloody great BG.

Good work mOds.

- Ultimo

[m0ds]

I'll pass your kind words onto the artist - Misja. Anyway, thats just a snippet of the background, I don't want to give it all away!

m0ds

[Quickstrike]

Drool...CAN"T WAIT FOR 2004!  MUST PLAY NOW!

[Snake]

Sorry, but I must blaspheme.

Fucking Christ, M0ds, that's magnificant! Keep your screens to yourself, you ass, this only feeds the need to want to play it MORE...more super badly!!

Can't wait for 2004, bud!


--Snake

[Squinky]

That picture is perfect.  I'm actually glad I can't draw that well, becuase then I would have nothing left to strive for.....
really excellent...

[rodekill]

Yowza!
You managed to find some really talented people for this project Mods. Good work!

[Matt Brown]

whoa...is this game free? I forget.

[Quickstrike]

whoa...is this game free? I forget.

It better be or I'm gong to distroy the Screen 7 website!

[m0ds]

Distroy me!!111

Yes, it'll be a free download.

Altho, I might bundle it on a CD along with Ignac and auction it on ebay*.

:p
m0ds

*see Talk & Chat forum to get this joke

[Matt Brown]

* Mr.Panda got the joke and laughs

[danny*]

These screenshots are AMAZING!!!!!!!!1! :o :o :o

[Joseph DiPerla]

WOW MODS!!!! I am looking forward to this game. Keep up the work.

Joey

[m0ds]

Cool, thanks Joey, thanks Danny.

TEH NEW!!11


(snipped)


m0ds

[rodekill]

Yowowoza!
I hope my writing can hold up to this stuff.
Seriously, wow.

[Evil]

mods: am i still in the team? i didnt get an email from you. if you dont want on the team just tell me ...

[magintz]

 :o

OMG!!!!!!!!

[|Alky|]

What's the plot/setting?
It sounds and looks really cool, and I hope you finish it...

[Matt Brown]

* Mr.Panda looks at screenshot

* Mr.Panda dies

[Evil]

poor, poor mr panda... **sniffle**
mods: in the words of sum 41, "so am i still waiting?" weres the email? evil1359@msn.com

[Joseph DiPerla]

That is another awesome screenshot MODS. Like I said before, keep up the amazing work. This game can rival any other Indy game ever made, including Fate of Atlantis II, if that is ever made...

Joey

[magintz]

Can I just ask one question........ copyright? will there be any problems when you come to release it, becasue Indiana Jones isn't exactly your creation.

[Vel]

He looks at screenshots. He gets heart attack.

Now, these look even better than in FOA. When will it be released?

[m0ds]

The game should be ready for Christmas, but no promises. As for copyright... it's freeware. It's all our own material. It's just the name "Indiana Jones" we're using, and some characters and locations. I don't think we'll have any problems with releasing it.

FoAII hasn't had any problems with LEC so in theory neither should we.

evil, I will email you when the time comes :p At the moment, Misja seems to be able to pick up my descriptions of how I'd like a location to look just like that, but if I ever need to explain something to him in an art form, i'll drop you a mail with information for drawing a sketch

m0ds

[Evil]

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!  

* evil feels good to be on a team

* evil tells his gf he is on a very important game team

* evil gets laid

well... maybe the last one was made up :p

[Matt Brown]

*

[m0ds]

We're not in this for the sex, y'know! :p

Anyway, two new snippets of Barnett College and Indy's office. Remember - snippets!!!1





by Misja, art genius!


m0ds

[Timosity]

That looks awsome, all the graphics for this game are great, I hope the game lives up to the graphics.

I'm sure it will

[m0ds]

Gotta keep your appetites whetted see, Tim.


m0ds

[juncmodule]

Wow. How long does it take this guy to kick out backgrounds like that!? Does he base it off of pictures or drawings? Is he for sale? Do you have any coupons?  

Really great stuff. Looking forward to the game.

later,
-junc

[Neole]

Those are awesome!

[Pesty]

i want to be on teh imporant team and git laid!!!!!11!1!1!!

I don't think evil's girlie would go for it, no matter what awesome game you're working on.

I must play this game. It's gonna be so damn cool, I can tell by the snippets. Damn you, m0ds. Damn you and you're damn teasing damn snippets!!

Damn.

[danny*]

 :o
:o :o
:o :o :o
:o :o :o :o
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW!!!!!!!!

[Scummbuddy]

These are coming out extremly fast....they are great...

[Matt Brown]

wowya..I don't think I could tell those apart from FOA..but I just played it.

sorry about my last comment. Bad joke.

[m0ds]

Sweet, thanks, I'll pass on your comments to Misja. BTW, even he doesn't know how he manages to produce them so fast!

Plus, I think he does them as originals - he sketches them and then just magics them up. Of course, he had something to work from for Indy's office and the exterior of Barnett College (which you'll notice is at a different angle so that you don't just think he ripped it!).

Amberle - the fact your name is on the start credits makes it 10 x cooler :p

m0ds

Maybe I'll trick my sister into playing it with me (using the trickery I used when I got her to play FOA with me except with more trickery because now she has a kid and she's lazy/busy when the kid's asleep) and then when the credits come up she'll be all "What the hell is your name doing in the credits of this fabulous game?" and I can say "Why, I am very important aren't I!".

I doubt it'd go like that, though. I don't think I've ever heard my sister call anything fabulous when she's not making fun of Christopher Lowell. But it'd still be fun.

[ratracer]

It's all been said before, but those bgs are fabulous, awesome, really FOA-like, and that's the best compliment I can give!!!

[Miez]

Just to clear up some of the hazy "how are these pictures done?" issues: I make a pencil sketch (on the patented FoY sketch template TM) - scan it as a 150 DPI greyscale image, stuff it in my patented FoY Photoshop template (TM). Then I draw the major lines, fill in the larger shapes with flat colour or ranges of colour. Next is a prolonged period of pixelbashing to get all the anti-aliasing to look right, finished off with some highlights and shadows. Most pictures take around 4 hours (the office of Dr. Jones was a real monster though, with all the intricate details - and took considerably longer).
Thanks for all the praise  : - I love doing this stuff!

er - m0ds - we are NOT in it for the sex? - damn, there goes another fine plan

[Erica McLane]

Really nice screenshots.

[Vel]

As I said earlier, they are better than the FoA ones.

[Helm]

Great art, but what's with the destructive compression? I take it this was at some point clean pixel art. I'd like to see it like that, to comment more thoroughly. But tell concrats to your artist nevertheless.


Looking forward to it.


Edit: Oh, just read the first page  I understand now. I think some parts are a bit too blurry, but besides that, great art. Good luck.

[cornjob]

Wow. This guy is good. He seems to have this style down cold.

[Snake]

Man, these screens kick ass. That's the kind of artwork I want for EN...to bad I suck rabbit balls.


--Snake

[Scummbuddy]

Are you going to stick around our forums? We'd like you to, and we'd make you feel welcome, and if Mods isnt paying you in sex, then im sure some of us will.

Edit:  Oh yeah, Templates are for cheaters and beautiful artists.

[Miez]

LOL - not my templates! an empty rectangle on a piece of paper and an empty photoshop file
And I think I will stick around this forum for a bit - FoY may be coming along nicely bit it isn't quite finished yet - and I like the crowd in here!

[squalman]

'bout time ya lazy bum  

[Scummbuddy]

Squal?  where have you been?

[earwigz]

OH MY GOD!  Whatever you do, DO NOT give up the production, because this game looks amazing.   :o :o :o

[m0ds]

I'm afraid production ended yesterday, all the team members quit.

HARHAR only kidding!!1

Here's another new snippet of a background courtesy of miez.




m0ds

[Trapezoid]

*art orgasm*

[Eigen]

Wow that's really,really awsome. Is it really drawn? It looks so realistic. Double wow!!





-Eigen

[Neole]

Those are photos for sure, but should fit in well with the game theme.

[m0ds]

I don't really know. I know we selected what the German general should look like from photos, I don't know how Misja put him into the paper tho :p

m0ds

[Miez]

This picture was quite simple to make, as most of the source material was existing photography: the black & white "dig in mesopotamia" photographs, the pen, even the newspaper. Most work was making the composite of the newspaper photograph (using pictures of the sphinx, a line of trucks and several pictures of "our" general). It looks a little less "handdrawn" than the other pictures, but so do the closeup pictures in the original FoA, and the low res makes it work somehow (I think).

[Ozwalled]

It works damn fine, IMO, as do the rest of the art teasers for this game. Yowee-ZOWEE it's looking impressive. Can't wait to play!

Please keep up the great work! We NEED this game!!

[ratracer]

Well, I'm sure miez did the original FOA!!!!! Only now he is getting better!!!

[danny*]

i'm pretty sure he did!!!!!
Great work Miez!!!!

[Miez]

Background artist for the original FoA - I wish. Anyway, these snippets are just a taste of what is to come (he types, overconfidence oozing out his ears). Thanks again for all the oohs & aahs!

[m0ds]

New(ish) look website with new screenshots and drawings etc. W00t.


m0ds

[Scummbuddy]

JESUS H. CHRIST.  Those screenies on the site blow my mind.   I want a tablet....  Very nice site. I really like the style you did all over.

[Vel]

WOW!!!

[Miez]

I want a tablet....

I really couldn't live without it anymore, a tablet makes your life so much more fun!

[|Alky|]

Which one did you get?
I have a really cheap one, it's no good and I want another one(e.g the cheap one was $20 with a mouse...)

[Neole]

$20 tablets?? I didnt now they exited that cheap! Is the pen pressure sensitive?

[Miez]

I use a Wacom Intuos 2, with a cordless mouse and (pressure sensitive) pen. Horribly expensive, but worth every damn buck

[Scummbuddy]

http://www.wacom.com/productinfo/intuos.cfm  Which tablet dimensions are you killing our artwork with?  

[m0ds]

A montage of some of the latest art. Woo.




m0ds

[Miez]

hehe! cool!
and the question about the size of my Wacom (that sounds more rude than intended): it's an A6 (postcard size).

[Vel]

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111
Cant wait to play this game! The things you do are unbelievable!

EDIT by AGA - less of the smileys, eh :p

[Scummbuddy]

How in the world do you get so much detail on a tablet the size of a postcard?!  Wow... and I would have gone all the way to buy the supersized one.

[cornjob]

Wow, the art continues to look great. M0ds, why'd you have to shrink it? We can't see the full pixeldeliciousness. Oh well, guess you can't give it all away beforehand.

[m0ds]

Thats the idea cornjob! Musn't give it all away in full goodness yet :p

Oh, and any news on that town centre bacgkround?

* m0ds watches cornjob disappear for another month :p

Miez, how d'you fancy writing up a tutorial on how to make those awesome backgrounds for the FoY site??


m0ds

[Miez]

And spill all the Secrets of the Pixel? are you crazy?? - just kidding, I'd love to do a tutorial for the website. It won't be done this week, but I'll get right on it in the weekend!

[cpage]

Is it too late to join the team?

[m0ds]

Currently cpage, I'm afraid it is  :'(

Misja, glad to hear it! There's no rush, I'll email you some of the details.

m0ds

[Pet Terry]

One word: awesome! :o

[Esseb]

Purr.

* Esseb imagines a bizarro ending of raiders with indy turning into a baby, not an old geezer

[m0ds]

Here's the first look at the GUI we'll be using. Its a cross between FoA and... Erm, a modified thing.

You'll notice we've killed "Push and Pull" and replaced them with "Move", but you'll also notice we've taken away "Give" as we felt that can come under "Use".



Congrats to Misja for making the background. And making it look so sexy, too.

Oh, and as with FoA, it will sometimes change depending on your situation. You may remember the good old "Touch" button and such alike.


m0ds

[Scummbuddy]

Miez, I would love to know how that tutuorial is going....  


whenever you can, it would be greatfully appreciated.

Modsey, where did you find this wonderful man, er, I mean, artist?

[Joseph DiPerla]

Hey, you gguys should add some fighting with nazi's like in last crusade where Indy fought with the NAzi's using the Key Pad. That would be neat to see programmed in AGS.

KEEP it up. IT LOOKS GREAT.

Joey

[remixor]

Oh man oh man oh man, this game is going to rule so much!  :o
I showed the material you've released to my friend who's really into the old LucasArts adventures, and he freaked out.
This game is going to rule!  Finish it now!  You guys rock!

[Vel]

WOWOWOWOWOW! :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
I cant wait to play this wonderful game!

[Miez]

Miez, I would love to know how that tutuorial is going....  

hehe ... still waiting for m0ds to send me some tutorial details, as it is going to be part of the FoY website. We'll announce it here as soon as it is up

[m0ds]

And as if by magic, we just got mentioned on two German websites,  :o

http://www1.giga.de/stories_u4/0,3204,56659,00.html

http://www.pcgames.de/?article_id=155740


m0ds

[Miez]

And as if by magic, we just got mentioned on two German websites,

Verdammt noch mal! Dass ist ja eine schöne Sache! Und soweiter ... my German sucks a bit, but it is good enough to read those previews ... wow, they make it sound so ... so ... professional!

**** HURRAY - TEH 100TH REPLY !!!1!!1!! ***

[m0ds]

LoL! Supposedly FoY has been mentioned on German television too (Giga TV). Oh well, thrills! I've been snowed under with emails, I'll pass them on to you Misja...and Alan... and Shawn.


m0ds

[Mennuz]

My god..I always wanted to rock with artwork.. but i feel retarded now  :'( O you're goood

[Matt Frith]

Giga Tv, i remember seeing that in Switzerland once.  At first i thought it was teh pr0n

Anyway, hurry and finish and we can all be amazed etc etc

*Tier Sleeps*

[Miez]

Giga Tv, i remember seeing that in Switzerland once.  At first i thought it was teh pr0n

Ah, no, that's for our next project: Indiana Jones and the Nazi Mistresses of Schloss Schwanzenstein. We'll finish this one first though

[Melkhiore]

Can you tell me how did you did all those magnificent backgrounds?
Melkh

[danny*]

i'm not the one to answer this question,...but i just can't help it!!(sorry Miez)
well,...let's see..:
he has talent!
he worked hard to reach a skill level like this!
he has patience!
he has imagination!
he loves drawing!
he has studied various styles and techniques(maybe)!
...and more!!!

[Miez]

Hell no! I just downloaded IndianaJonesBackgroundCreator! (don't use the v1.0 version though; it has no bullwhip.plugin and the nazis look like shit).

Just kidding; it really looks harder than it is: if you can draw (a little), have some imagination and perseverance, you'll get there. Just study the original artwork and (obligatory input device ad) get yourself a tablet and pen. Or stick with a mouse and get RSI

[Melkhiore]

Well what i realy wanted to know is
Did you painted them and then scaneg or colored them on your computer?
And how are made bg's from Indy FoA?
Thanks
Melkh

[Adamski]

Wow, if only Blackstar... or Borkstar... or whatever his name was could see this now. Or infact anyone at indyproject that gave you flak over FoY could see this.

[m0ds]

LoL DS, you'll notice they kept rather quiet about it when I mentioned it a couple of months back

http://forum.amberfisharts.com/showthread.asp?id=3811


m0ds

[m0ds]

Misja made a start up screen, and very nice it is!

[Gonzo]

Wow, that looks great. Misja's done an awesome job there.

Just out of curiosity, how can you be sure Lucasfilm won't shut this down? They've issued 'cease and desist' to various different projects that intrude on their intellectual properties or whatever before. I sure hope you're not gonna have that problem, because the game looks fantastic.

The Indy trilogy are probably still my favourite films ever since I first got into them, and another Indy game can only be a good thing. Provided it isn't Desktop Adventures 2, which I wouldn't be too chuffed about.

Edit: Not that I think there should be any competition, let alone animosity, between the projects, hats off to you for making an original Indy game and not continuing the Atlantis story. I just feel that Fate Of Atlantis capped off the entire Atlantis thing so finally that a direct sequel seems just a bit awkward. It's good that people are making these games though.

[Trapezoid]

Er, wouldn't this be of more concern to LucasFilm than LucasArts? Which might actually be safer, since LucasFilm are probably further away from their community than LucasArts.

[Vel]

Great as ever.

[Miez]

I just hope we don't get into problems with LucasArts (and/or LucasFilm) about the use of Indy's portrait - but I can always chuck it out, and put something else in ...

[Gonzo]

Er, wouldn't this be of more concern to LucasFilm than LucasArts? Which might actually be safer, since LucasFilm are probably further away from their community than LucasArts.

Yeah, that's why I put Lucasfilm in my original post. I think it's less likely that Lucasfilm will get wind of it but I don't know their history of shutting down things like this.

Fingers crossed anyway.

[Pet Terry]

:o Great!

LucasArts won't shut this down because this looks so good

[AJA]

Holy sh*t!  :o

Misja's art is unbelievable!

[m0ds]

Hehe thanks for all the comments, I'm sure Misja feels good now As for the whole LucasArts/Films debate, well, between you and me, (and I hate dragging these debates out)... D'you really think I'd stop making it? I'll go to prison for all I care

m0ds

[m0ds]

Okay, maybe not prison but... Bah, I don't think we'll run into any problems

Anyway, new forum at
http://www.miez.nl/yabbse/

Sign up, register etc, be part of the cool crew.

[m0ds]

800x600 wallpaper available

Thank you Misja!   hehe

m0ds

[auhsor]

Cool wallpaper.

Hmm, now i'm getting all excited about this game again...

[Squinky]

Thanks, I was in need of a new wallpaper thingy...

[Hobbes]

Just wanted to say: WOW.

Played FoA lots of times... now, can't wait for this one!

Delay the game until mid 2005 and you're releasing at the same time as the new movie!

On second thought: Don't.  

[m0ds]

Just bumping. Check out details about the rolling demo on the first post on the first page of this thread, here: http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?board=8;action=display;threadid=3477


m0ds

marker

[Czar]

Well, yay i'm gonna be one of the first to download it

[AGA]

Not quite. It's been available on his forum for about a week.

[Czar]

AAAAAAARGH!
Damn, well at least i'll dl it.
Anyway, thats a older version you guys are using?

[m0ds]

Currently, yes. I'm developing it in the last DOS version of AGS atm. Once the game is finished, I'll tweak it in WinAGS.

m0ds

[scotch]

Why use the dos editor? It's not as nice to use as the windows one.. and the new versions let people force 85hz, which at least on my monitor makes low res games display correctly, they usually don't.  I suppose you're just used to the dos one, you should get with the 21st century though
There are so many things that the new version has that Indy needs  At least you say you're going to finish the game off in the winags editor..

And of course, I loved the rolling demo

[Trapezoid]

Incredible!!! Yay!!!
But it should be "Nazis" not "Nazi's"

[Czar]

lol, youre right
I just watched it and loved it, tho it went a bit fast, and i'm in xp and couldnt start the setup to change the letterbox(if its possible), but nevermind, i have win98 too, so i'll try on that tomorrow.

[Hobbes]

Once again, I'll say it: WOW! (Feel a bit like some overrated movie here )

It looks great, the character animation is smooth, Marcus seems to have his mouth, but that's the only thing that niggled me.

Good work, excellent graphics and what looks/sounds like an interesting plot!

[Snake]

FUCKING AWESOME!

I cannot wait for this game, M0DS, I cannot!


--Snake

[D · Y · D · O]

Great teaser demo, but one thing; please tell me it's gonna be "It BELONGS in a museum" instead of the current "going in"!!!

[m0ds]

True but either way - it never makes it

[Ishmael]

AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! Excellent....  : (I mean the whole game... )

[danny*]

yummy,yummy.... :o :o
REALY:....can't wait!!!!!!!

[Ginny]

 :o :o
It looks, sounds, and is, incredible!
I love the music, the screenshots, everything!
I'm keeping a close eye on this..

[Timosity]

damn it, I get a 404 error when trying to get the demo, I'll try again later, did you take it down or is the site having maintenence or something, I'm looking forward to the demo, but not the game, i'm more than looking forward to that

Edit: Yay it works now, great stuff, can't wait, only thing I thought was the names went too fast to read them, lucky I knew who they were.

[evilspacefart]

damn! waiting for this game is going to drive me batty.  

[Nacho]

May I say that FoY is probably the most expected game in AGS history? I´m quite new, but I think it is... I want to encourage screen7: C´mon, shawn, write fast! M0ds, script quick! Miez, paint!!!  

[Pet Terry]

Looks great, can't wait!

Awesome work, it is really professional

[Barcik]

Spectacular! I'll be waiting for this one!

[Shattered Sponge]

Hmm... I'm rather nervous about watching this - after the demo finishes, is there going to be a low-quality slideshow of bad, amatear porn feature girls, bullwhips and those hats of which I am sure there is a specific term that I can't think of right now?

Ah, screw it, I'll take the risk.

[remixor]

Damn it, damn it, damn it.  M0ds and company, this kicks teh ass.  2004 could nto possibly come soon enough.

[n3tgraph]

Hmm... I'm rather nervous about watching this - after the demo finishes, is there going to be a low-quality slideshow of bad, amatear porn feature girls, bullwhips and those hats of which I am sure there is a specific term that I can't think of right now?

Ah, screw it, I'll take the risk.

Heehee, I sure hope so

[m0ds]

Thanks for all the comments I presume it ran alright on your computers? Well it must have done - yet people moan and say I should use the Win engine

m0ds

[Privateer Puddin']

damn right marrrrkeeehhhh

[agsking]

The demo is very professional and smooth.
This game is going to be amazing.
Great work!

[rodekill]

Actually, when I run it it always messes up my video and I have to reboot, so NYEEEEEH.  

[m0ds]

You're a member of the team. You're not allowed to see the games progress

Thanks agsking

[JoeyDOnVacation]

Holy moly! This rocks. I wish you guys would have worked for Lucasasrts back in the late 80's early 90's. Kick FOA II's Butt!!!

If you guys need an Italian Translator, let me know, I would be willing to do some of the Italian trans.

[MadReizka]

That art is God like!  :o

Wow! Just like in the Indiana Jones by LEC

Yup, miez has done exceedingly well with replicating the FoA style, as has Alan (and sc0tch) with their character artwork. Superb stuff.

Yeah, oh God those are great!

[Mikko]

I presume it ran alright on your computers?

Actually it doesn't work on mine.

When I try to start it it gives me following error message:

I'm using finnish Win98, but it's something like "illegal operation" in english. Not first time I get these so probably someone else has got something like this also.

Surely the problem is my comp, since everyone else has it working, but if someone knew what to do, I'd appreciate it. By everything else I've seen, I just can nothing but add in the choir of praise.

Have fun continuing the working!

[m0ds]

Booooo... It does sound like its your computer - because I developed the rolling demo using Windows 98, and tested it on my Windows 98 machine (and my Win 2000 machine) and it worked fine.

Unfortunatley, I wouldn't know why you're getting that error :/

m0ds

[scotch]

I get a similar error on windows 2000, surprised it runs on yours.. I've never got a dos ags game to work on here, or my friend's windows XP, strange.

[Pet Terry]

It worked fine on my computer and I have Finnish Win98 too.. strange indeed.

This website http://screen7.adventuredevelopers.com/foy/ has it been shut down or something.

I mean, i can only go to the forum board.

Where are the updates, pictures or stuff.

When will this game be released.

Is there a demo.

Why is there an Indiana Jones Fountain Of Youth game being made.

Why is there an Indiana Jones Fate Of Atlantis 2 game being made.

I can't wait for these two games to be released.

[Scummbuddy]

1) their host if halfway down, plus they are making a new site for the game.
2) If you can get to the forum, then why not ask about it there?
3)Updates are coming
4) Hopfully, next year
5)There is a rolling demo, ie not playable
6) Because Mods has a great story to tell with his teammates and they have the drive to make it (what a weird question)
7) another weird question... not our community doing it, but we *most of us* wish them good luck.  they are building their own engine along with their game,so theres will take longer
8 ) None of us can

Hey, guys, in case you were wondering, there are a couple people here on the boards that still wonder about this game.  maybe like 2 or 3 people.  

[Meowster]

This is truly gonna be like, the greatest game ever made with AGS. It's probably gonna get magazine reviews and everything. Man, if you guys had lived bac--- wait. Wait. If Chris Jones had have made AGS back in 1992, you guys would be rich. But nooo. You didn't think of that, didya Mr Jones? I'm so looking forward to this game and... it will be the first indy adventure I've ever played

[AGA]

You're silly. Download and play Last Crusade (which imo is better than FoA) and FoA.

[LordHart]

I only ever remember playing the old Master System game of Last Crusade, and that sucked... is that the version you are talking about?

[AGA]

There was a platformer one, and a proper adventure game... And they're both available for PC too. I meant the adventure though.

[Devlonas]

I would love to see the rolling demo.  Is it available at this time?  The URL in this post does not work.

Last Crusade (which imo is better than FoA)

I couldn't disagree more.  To each his own, though.

[GarageGothic]

Last Crusade (which imo is better than FoA)

I couldn't disagree more.  To each his own, though.

I've always preferred to LC to FOA. In part because I find the Holy Grail much more interesting than Atlantis, and that I prefer creepy German castles to Greek ruins, but more importantly because of the gameplay style. Yes, the three paths in FOA adds replay value, but in fact they limited the player's choice (!). In LC you could choose your approach to the problems on a case-by-case basis, in FOA the choices were dictated by whatever path you selected before leaving the college.

It's a bit like the QFG games. You are meant to choose ONE character class and solve the puzzles with their abilities. I, however, played a thief character with magic and combat skills as well, and went through pretty much all the tasks of all classes within one playthrough. I was incredibly annoyed when some of the later games (QFG3 in particular, I hate that game) greatly limited my options.

But as remixor said, to each his own.

[remixor]

I agree that many of LC's design elements were very interesting, it's more the quality of each game that does it for me.  The writing in FOA is leaps and bounds beyond that of LC (in my opinion), which was sometimes a bit hard for me to take all that seriously.  FOA just felt like more of an "experience" to me.

[AGA]

For me, everything after the submarine was boring. ie Crete and Atlantis itself.

[m0ds]

PIMP!

[remixor]

Wow, looking good!  Very slick.

[Scummbuddy]

very nice and tight page!  great work team.

Yeah ... great, a new webpage.

Wow.

Just kidding!  That site looks excellent!  Totally fits the Indy theme/look/feel.  Your website developer rocks!  Now I anticipate this game even more!
