Main Characters:
Hirum (Hi.rum):
Hirum is an orphan who unfortunately (or is it so unfortunate?) got transformed into a monkey as part of an evil scheme. He's a mischiefous 13-year old who loves adventure. He somehow managed to escape the clutches of Dr. Glumpkin and found Allie. Now his goal is to return to the Doc's secret laboratory and transform himself and the other orphans back to normal...hopefully he can pull it off with Allie's help.
Allie O' Leary:
Coincidently, Allie loves things that are potentially dangerous, which drives her to want to help Hirum even more.
Dr. Lumpkin Glumpkin:
Here we are, just another evil scientist who wants to take over the world. He's got this kooky plan to use evil monkey slaves to do his dirty work, but he must start small and gradually make his way up, so he's going to start his rein in Bloomerdale (Allie's home town) and Oaksdale (Hirum's home town).

DeVeLoPMeNT DiaRY
2.26.03 - First promotion of MW and finaly a final look for Dr. Glumpkin.
3.2.03 - Added "This game will sport:" section on this promotion...
3.11.03 - I've recieved Squinky's frogger-type mini game, and with a few more features, it'll be perfect for a specific event that takes place early in the game. Also, more background designs are being started (finally).
3.23.03 - Updates so far: Custom GUIs, cursors, interface, up & down walking views, text box.
Erm, Squinky and I aren't going to use the frogger idea after all, don't know what we'll do with it as of yet. But for the "races" (that "specific event") Squinky is still going to help with a mini game type of shmeal...more race-like.
3.24.03 - All I have to do before the DEMO is officially in production, is finish the options menu. I'll be able to finish that today. NO PROBO MOJUMBO!!1
3.25.03 - DEMO oFFiCiaLLY started. I got another cool idea for something today that'll be pretty cool that wasn't in the plans before. So hopefully it'll work right when I program myself to death.

Now, thats a way to handle a games in production hype-site.  Beautiful job here.

This is going to be awsome,

I think it's been sublininally forged into my head from your signature Snake, not a bad idea.

Love the screenshot and the characters, I'll download the music too to get the full preview effect, You got a good team for this game.

Absolutely lovely. I'm waiting to see a demo.

Monkey Wrench is one of my most anticipated AGS games, looks fantastic Snake, good to see Glumpkin for the first time too. The character art is super, very nice and cartoony.

Allie likes short shorts doesn't she! ;)

QuoteNow, thats a way to handle a games in production hype-site...

Since I am a moderator, I'm trying to set an example of what it could look like, but what the others have done (and done it right) looks fine aswell.
...now what do you think of the game, FOOL!?

Quote...I'll download the music too to get the full preview effect...

Listen to my originals too, and see what an awesome job Trap did with them (mine sucked). I'm freaking grateful for him even wanting to be a part of this project, so far his shit rocks ;)

Quote...I'm waiting to see a demo...

The release date for the DEMO is this summer...mid summer maybe, but definately this summer. It'll be a fully playable and complete demo.

GoNZo: Thanks. Yeah, the whole Glumpkin thing has been bugging me, so I'm just as happy as you are to finally see what he looks like ;) The picture show's almost just how I imagined. I first was going to have him be old and frail, but I've decided to go with the "he's old, but he's full of piss and vinegar" idea.

Yes, Allie knows she's hot goddamnet, she likes them shorts ;) (she also likes it when Hirum gives it to her rough.....har har j/k)

hardily hoo

What do you mean 'har har j/k'? You mean that took that mini-game out? I was looking forward to that!

Gonzo, don't worry, I plan for a total pornographic version of this game after it's release.


--Snake

eewww! monkey sex!

As one of the "devolopers" of this project, I gotta say that this will be one cool-ass game. So far I can say that it has some very inspired puzzles, an interesting plot, and you can see how cool the art is  going to be....


and of course the music is gonna be the shit with trap involved...

Oh yes. The music. I'll get to it.  ::)

Don't worry poo-poo head ...
(What the hell am I saying?)

In regards to what Squinky said, if we actually get right and do everything the way we should (and imagine) this game will (hopefully) kick ass.
We plan on doing our best...
...or close to it...
...damn I'm cold...
...and tierd...
...and love sick...

Ah..
*looks to the left, then to the right...*

I just added a "The game will sport:" section...

uPDaTe:
Little progress has been made, but more will come, I promise. I've got an updated thingywingy text file hoodily for Squinky to read and look over, so I'm waiting till I see him to give it to him. Squinky's also got some cool-ass ideas for mini games (one idea includes a frogger type game).


--Snake.

The frogger style mini-game is ready and awaiting your aproval there Snake. Probabaly need some minor adjustments to fit your requirments, but it's all pretty much worked out...

hehe, I take it you are ok with these posts hehe. feel free to use the following image i manipulated for your game (Warning, boob nudity):

http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?selected=186249


**EG** Enjoy your boobs, I mean game

LarLar

Ah, I don't think I'll be using that ;)

Let's stay on topic now, no more boob talk ;D

---

And just for fun, if I was to make this a talkie, who would want to do voices? I'd like to make it a talkie, but I'm concerned about quality in sound and most importantly, acting :p Of course I shouldn't worry about a talkie until it is done, but what the hell.

uPDaTe:
I've recieved Squinky's frogger-type game, and with a few more features, it'll be perfect for a specific event that takes place early in the game (but not in the demo...HA!).


--Snake

I could provide some voices. If free time provides, that is...

I could also be one of the voice actors :)

I could perfom personal massage services for Allie. ;)

I've finally got some REAL screenshots for ye. I'm saying real because the last image (shown on the first post and in the critics lounge) was just an idea of what it would look like.

In other words folks, I've finally gotton off my ass ;)
Hope you like 'em...

Right-clicking brings up the GUI


--Snake

The art and the gui rock...The volume bar is a sweet idea...

Hey... it looks great! Very good job :)

I just wanted to let you guys know that I am OFFiCiaLLY working on the ...

DEMO!!!111

WOOHOO!

Like any of you care but myself. Hardy har hoodily.


YAY anyway ;)


--Snake

YESH! GIMME GIMME GIMME

That rocks Snake!

Only, I think right clicking to bring up the GUI is a bad idea. For one, people wont be able to cycle thru the icons with right click. Also, people are more used to moving the cursor to the top/bottom of the screen to bring up the GUI. If it aint broke dont fix it is what I always say.

That depends, Neole. It's not always Sierra or Lucasarts SCUMM GUIs but there are also the Verb Coin like in The Curse of Monkey Island and Full Throattle. But only you hold down the left mouse button. Well I agree with that the GUI is a little bit clumsy since a verb coin doesn't take on so much space.

Snake, what does the different commands of your GUI, like the tail? Everything isn't so obvious that you think "okay, it's like that.", if you know what I mean. I look forward to this game.

/me gets in line to beta test the demo.

By the way, that Hirum have no vinsible mouth, is that inspired or taken from Croc: The Legend of the Gobbos where the gobbos (cute little troll-like creatures) have no mouths vinsible because of all that fur? Just wondering.

Neole:

QuoteFor one, people wont be able to cycle thru the icons with right click.

I don't like the idea of cycling the cursors, personally. I think sometimes it is tedious where you want a specific cursor, and you skip it, making you scroll again. Har har, I usually do that and it irritates me ;)

QuoteAlso, people are more used to moving the cursor to the top/bottom of the screen to bring up the GUI.

I agree 100%. But I want something that's just a tad bit different from every other game. I like the idea of having it at the bottom instead of the top aswell. In anycase, don't people have to get used to each games individual differences? This interface still isn't final yet. I've been brainstorming a bit, but there won't be anything final until I release the real demo.

Mat:

Quote...what does the different commands of your GUI, like the tail?

The first 4 are the default regulars; interact, look, talk and walk. Since Hirum has a tail, he is able to use that aswell for different things. Something you might like is that Hirum will have to learn how to use his tail, since he was only turned into a monkey the day before. So he's not quite used to it yet. During the course of the game, he get's more adapted to his abilities.

QuoteEverything isn't so obvious that you think "okay, it's like that.", if you know what I mean.

I'm planning on adding a text thingy to show what does what when the mouse hovers over it.

QuoteBy the way, that Hirum have no vinsible mouth, is that inspired or taken from Croc: The Legend of the Gobbos where the gobbos (cute little troll-like creatures) have no mouths vinsible because of all that fur? Just wondering.

Never played it. It how I imagined him in the game. Looks cute and maybe a little cuddly, but he's got one hell of a devious mind ;)

Barcik:

Quote* Barcik gets in line to beta test the demo.

Can if you really want to  ::)


--Snake

*Kicks Snake in the ass so as to make him work faster!

looking forward to it!!!
...beautifull!!!! :D

I think right clicking to bring the GUI up is a rocking idea. I hate scrolling through to get to the right mode. Maybe you can make shortcut keys like LEC did to get certain interaction modes though....

Joey

Yeah, good idea. I'll do that ;)


--Snake

I'd be willing to do a voice or two, but I haven't any real recording equipment....

Anyways, where are you at on this project?

----edit----

Holy carp am I a dumbass, I replied to the wrong page....sheesh...

Looking very nifty, if you need a female voice at any time give me a yell and I'll do it (within reason...XD)

Argh - Looks great! I wouldn't mind testing this game... ;D

Btw: The GUI reminds me of this game I've just started playing: "In The Dead Of The Night", where all the options and commands pop up if you hold in the right mouse button.
Doesn't sound bad at all!  

Oh thanks a lot snake, you've made me realise how crap I am..... Now, hurry along with your demo!

Azure: Yeah, of course Allie would need a voice :) I'd love to hear a sample of yours...

I'd also love to hear from the other girls, Dragon Rose, OTG...and any I've forgotton about...hehe

Here's your line for any takers:
"That's the last straw, Hirum! Screw you and your orphans!"
or if you'd rather (although the above line will infact be in the game as one of the bad ends) say anything you'd like ;)

Remember, it's pronounced - Hi + Rum ... Hirum

I think it would be fun to hear like an audition type thing...heh...eventhough it's way before due...


--Snake

ps- shut your mouth, Hendrix ;) I'm more crap than anybody here

Remember, I could easily do some voices. :) Maybe even Hirum himself.

*tries to kick snakes ass to make him go faster, but misses, and falls to the ground whimpering like the hopelessly-untalented-at-making-AGS-games idiot that he is*
*sigh*
*waits for beta to be made for testing*

Saw your screenshot... F**king awesome dude!
btw. will you let it go for free?

Will get to it as soon as my family stop playing monkey ball. You can check out my VA credits at http://www.btinternet.com/~yukino

Azure, I love your voice! It's great :)

No, your eyes are fine, that glunker you've just read is true!

Squinky and I have decided to finaly continue this game after he completes Pirate Fry 2: The hand of Anturus.

So be on the look out for updates :)

Our plans:
What we need to do is shorten it...it's too damned big!1  ARGH! We might be aiming at a medium sized game instead of a full one. It'll still be the cheese on the cheese cake though! Cheese cake? Shit.

Ah well...what do you guys think? The hell with it or YAY!!
?

The Legend of Leitor's Edge
And for those LE fans, don't worry. It's still being done :) I still need to get things together with the storyline. Currently I'm remaking the intro, just started it last night. So far what I have done I think is a bit better. So hopefully this will get rolling soon aswell.


--Snake

Hurrah for MoNKeY WReNCH!  8)
It's good to see older projects coming back to life. I was looking forward to this one.

Looks at Squinky
lol


--Snake

Yeah - Nice to hear that Monkey Wrench is back in production, Snake!
I just know it'll prod some serious buttock when it's finsihed, my good man... :)

And it's nice to hear about LE's storyline as well - I hope you got some sense to it... Be sure to inform me when you need assistance in any way!

That is completely deserved. But I'm working on fry 2 as I type right now....Well I guess not right now...Anyway, it'll be done soon.

Truthfully I'm more interested in Mw than fry 2...

Man! This game looks like it's going to be incredible.  It sounds like you guys got the planning down to a science! I can't wait to play it! Looks like a lot of fun!  I will check back often!
