Glitch Quest is now complete!
New Thread (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=35500.0)
Glitch Quest is pretty much a joke game. It does actually have puzzles, and a (bit of a) plot, but the graphics, sound, and text are all deliberately glitchy. In fact, the puzzle is blatently obvious, but hidden by the glitches. The game is 100% interactive and playable, but I used a custom glitch font to make the text unreadable. Oh yes- this game is made with AGS 2.61 which is still my favourite version. I don't like the new scripting and the V3 interface is weird to me.
The plot goes something like this- you're a knight, rescuing a princess. You decide you need some extra boost, and use another cheat. Well, that last cheat drops you into the Glitch World, where everything is glitchy. Your mission is simple- get out. That is unfortunately complecated by unreadable text and the fact that you are now a collection of glitch blocks.
Glitch Quest uses parts of the Insta-Game pack (though it is not an Insta-Game) and some ROtN resources. If the authors wish the content removed, please PM me and I will modify the game accordingly.
Here's the progress indicator. All values are VERY rough estimates.
Total: 90%
Graphics: 100%
Sound: 100%
Scripting/Interaction: 100%
I'm on the testing phase now:
Testing: 15%
Adjusting: 0%
And finally, some screenshots!

Reality-On-The-Norm is part of Glitchworld as well! So is Insta-Game.

Some of you may have heard of 'M, the glitch pokemon.
Please leave any comments, questions, or (preferably constructive) criticism.

Looks well! I think you should release the video!
It's pretty cool! Plus, I love the joke games much more than the serious games.

Actually I only heard of "MissingNo" (which is only another result of the same glitch, I assume) and it's gonna be mentioned in my first adventure. Glad to hear that it's not too obscure...(I must admit I never caught a glitch Pokemon....I'm afraid of glitches).
