Johnny Rockett Adventure

[Pixelton]

Hello Guys.

I'm very green when it comes to AGS and the community...I've not been here long, I've spent a huge amount of time working on MY first Ever Game in AGS!!!!...getting my head round scripting (which is going well) and getting my head around pixel art (...I'm no pixel artist). I think alot of progress has been made so I thought I'd stick it up here.


(Game splash screen)


(Command deck, scene from the intro sequence)







Its my first game so its quite a basic idea where you play Johnny Rocket an undercover Customs agent that has infiltarted a pirate group. When the pirates attack a cargo ship carrying a strange cargo Johnny's cover is blown and he is left for dead. The ship is braking up after the attack and Johnny has to escape!

Things to expect.
* A large intro cutscene which drops the player into the world (**completed**).
* Puzzles will be simple (but fun I hope).
* Lots of unique animations for characters.

Well thats it

Marcus.

[Questionable]

This looks awesome! Especially for a first go around! I can't wait to see this finished.

[GreenBoy]

Looks wicky wicked. 

[arj0n]

Lovely game, how's the progress going?

[Pixelton]

The progress is going great, the mammoth cutscene is finished and I'm working on the more exciting bits now...actually making the puzzles :p

Its been really fun so far though. Thanks guys for your kind comments!

Love the mock c64 screen.  Rather weird that the game doesn't match the retro color palette/count/reqs of a c64 in any way, but it still looks good!

[Grim]

Excellent pixel art, by the way!:) I'm not crazy about the storyline... but I must admit it's looking great already and I will definitely give it a go when it's released:)

[Kweepa]

The game looks great.
A couple of things about the loading screen:
- did you spell Commodore wrong deliberately?
- the colour scheme looks more like a VIC-20!
- it should be

READY.
LOAD "JOHNNYROCKET"

PRESS PLAY ON TAPE
LOADING
READY.
RUN

haha theres always one!

It's really just a little company logo kind of splash screen...I needed something (so thats why it kind of doesnt resemble any colour C64 colour pallette. I used to have a C64 and a ZX Specy back in the good old days but your going back some years now since I actually used one :p

I'll fix my little typos on that splash screen Steve cheers for pointing that out

Your right...story wise its nothing mind blowing (actually its an idea thats been done about a billion times before!) but I thought....my first game in AGS...I don't want to do anything ambitious. This is really just an excisise for myself in learning how to script and get things rolling within AGS

Well thanks guys
Marcus.

I thought he was avoiding a lawsuit... 

[Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens]

 Actually, I thought it was good (and intentional) that you misspelled Commodore.  It keeps you free to present it as a different computer system/game (like a knock-off brand).

What a terrible rendition of the Commodore Basic screen

Looks more like a PET. But enough of the Nerdiness.
The game looks really nice... I kinda dig the simple yet detailled art style.

[WHAM]

Looks very nice, especially the command bridge.
The character sprites have a nice cartoony feel to them and will really make the game visually pleasing if the animation is on-par with what the screenshots leave me to believe.

Looking forward to this!

[Pixelton]

Thanks Wham

I'm working with a guy called Def and Gravity on a a few puzzle concepts but hope to have the first portion of the game finsihed and released soon. Sadly my desktop computer's mainboard popped on me and lost everything so I've had to down-grade to my laptop...luckily Def has my AGS project so not all is lost!

[markbilly]

Love the platformer-esque style of the pixel art. Very very good if you are just learning!

Looks awesome, the last pics remind me of 7 Days a Sceptik

[SuperDre]

this looks really great, love the graphics..
