Jimmy the troublemaker - 100% done FINALLY!

Mouth for war · Fri 27/03/2009 00:43:27

Ok. This is the first time I have ever done anything at all with AGS so please be gentle

The game starts in grampa's attic. You're there to clean up after he passed away. The character starts looking around and soon enough (If you don't get stuck hehe) finds a magic book...heÂ´s very skeptic about it but for fun he reads one of the spells and disappears into another world where the evil queen Josephine has gone mad with power. What will happen to our hero? Why don't YOU find out? Here are a few screenshots.

So...the game will be set in another dimension with lotÂ´s characters, humans and non-humans to interact with...fantasysetting with twisted humor.

Can't wait until it's finished. Very appealing!

Lovely graphics! What game length are you aiming for?

Mouth for war · Fri 27/03/2009 10:56:20

Thanks a lot

Well I am hoping for a full-length game. I was never interested in doing like a 10minutegame. If I do something I want to do it for real hehe. But since I have to do everything on my own it will probably take some time. I kind of make up things as I go along. I do have the main story figured out. I work on it almost every day so hopefully it won't take an eternity to finish it. I'll post updates.

Who knows? I might release parts of the game as it progresses...when I think there is enough gameplay I might as well let you play that. We'll see. Really glad you liked it though, that makes it a lot funnier to continue doing this game.

Oh the shovel will have a big role in this game by the way. Besides the obvious stuff you're gonna have to dig for, I will hide stuff that you can dig up...but you'll have to find out on your own

Could be meaningless inventoryitems, funny messages etc. they won't be important to the game but I thought it would be nice to be able to do things besides the story...what do you think? is that a good idea?

Nice. I like the animation when:

Spoiler

he teleports to the other world...

You could make the character move across the screen quicker, then the walk animation would look more natural...

Thanks! Yeah that one turned out pretty good

Actually i've been thinking about that...i asked around a little what people thought about the walking speed...some say itÂ´s working fine...and some that it's a little slow...so i don't know if i should change it hehe...

Great to know you'd decided to post about this eventually. This looks really good. 8)

Mouth for war · Sun 29/03/2009 13:37:35

Thank you very much! Feels very good to hear that

SuperDre · Sun 29/03/2009 17:45:17

Look great... good luck..

Mouth for war · Sun 21/06/2009 22:01:47

Here are a few more screenshots. Just so you know I haven't given up on this little project. Hope you like 'em

SuperDre · Sun 21/06/2009 22:03:41

Look really great.. I like the style.. keep up the great work..

Matti · Mon 22/06/2009 23:56:52

I played the demo today and I liked it. I think the clean graphics work very well, so go good luck with further progress.

There was just one thing that really bothered me: The main character is MUCH too slow, it's really annoying over the time, especially when you wanna go back some screens to a place where you've already been. Please make him either move faster or include a feature to immediately change a room without having to walk all the way through it.

Mouth for war · Tue 23/06/2009 12:10:42

Thank you

I have already changed his walkingspeed but i guess i forgot to include that in the demoversion. At first it didn't bother me as much but when more and more people said that he walks too slow i changed it.

I'm STILL working on this little game and its getting near completion. Takes a while when you have to do everything on your own though...well everybody here knows that hehe.

So far there are 63 backgrounds made for the game and I'm working on the last part. May take a little while though. I do have a life outside AGS you know. yeah it's true

but like I said. It's not too far away now and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in betatesting when it's ready? Drop me a line if you'd like to do that

In the meantime I'm posting some new screenshots. Hope you'll like them.

Chicky · Sun 14/02/2010 15:02:31

This looks fantastic! I love clean high-res pixel art, you've done a brilliant job.

kconan · Sun 14/02/2010 15:10:18

Looks good man, I look forward to this one. Bruella's pig slippers are hilarious, they should squeak (or squeal?) if she walks around in them. 8)

SarahLiz · Sun 14/02/2010 19:31:26

Looks like you've done a wonderful job on this game! The graphics look so good! Can't wait to play it, this is just my kinda game...

Mouth for war · Sun 14/02/2010 20:39:51

Thank you for your kind words

My biggest issue might be that I'm not the greatest animator in the world but I think I've done a descent job with them and I hope it won't keep you guys away from playing the game because of that

Krimson · Mon 15/02/2010 00:18:03

This looks very Simon the Sorcereresque! I loved the first game in that series, and this looks to continue on in that tradition.

Looking forward to it!
