Hi!

Quotehave you made any other games with AGS yet?

Yes...but I had simply started and not finished!
Moreover I will try to put the sprites of the game if somebody wants to continue the project... :

The play was called: "Donnie Danger in tomorrow is not yesterday"
a parody of James Bond

If that interress somebody I began the animation of the character (to go & speak)
Bye...

Hehe..

So.. what has been decided about the game so far. Setting? Storyline? Characters?

And more importantly, who's making the music?

.. No!! it is a joke

I will not be there during 3 weeks because I have school examinations!!!

To continue on the artworks: Voodoo Lady (without her splendid armchair voodoo)

Once on holiday I begin work "in-game" !!

QuoteAnd more importantly, who's making the music?

:

Humm...It is not my field: If somebody is voluntary to help me to make the musics, he contacts me!! Thx

Bye!!!

Hey thats really good.

For music you could just use the current MI Midis.. It would be hard to emulate there quality

DanClarke · Sat 01/05/2004 18:44:42

i would even try to use the CMI soundtrack, some great stuff on that. I know the size of your game will increase but your graphics are high quality, so why not go all out. Theres a website where you can find the entire CMI soundtrack, im not sure where it is though.

The addres to that site is http://soundtracks.mixnmojo.com/

By the way, the Voodoo-lady looks nice, she almost looks like in CMI but with new set of clothes.

What do the French put in the water?
They must have really good art teachers at school!

PS: If you didn't catch the hint, m0ds was volunteering to do some music for your game. You want that. He's good. Don't reuse Monkey Island music - it's not the right thing.

very impressive artwork.....

The only problem that you will have is meeting everyones expectations..

As the comparision will be with past MI games..

Good luck ....this is yet another game that interests me and will be added to a can`t wait list...

PLEASE FINISH THIS......even if its a short game.

Sam. · Sun 02/05/2004 18:59:16

frog thighs!!Ã,Â

No panic...I respect my promises!!Ã,Â

But,there is a small problem:
problem of legality

pfff, I am a resistant, I would fight for the fans!!!Ã,Â

nope! · Sun 02/05/2004 21:00:50

Fan games & legality... same old problem

In my point of view, we can't blame Lucas Arts for protecting their work. On the other hand, they don't really respect their own creations: Sam & Max II (rest in peace), Indiana Jones games (which are now Lara Croft like games)...

Sometimes, I wonder about the opinion of the authors of the Original Monkey Island/DOTT games...they might be a little sadÃ,Â $:-\$

Anyways, back to the topic.

You should work only onÃ,Â the "first" chapter of your game and see how Lucas Arts reacts...(see the problems of the 2 years development Garfield game)

Whoa. This project looks very promising, your drawing style is very clear and matches that of the Monkey Island games perfectly. You've got alot of talent, and I hope you use it well. But, do you think the game will have voice overs? If it's using the sprites from MI2 then I think text is alright but voice overs would be great, IF you could find someone to do them.

Also, it would be cool if you could include a scene with him and a NEW ring and he's curious about if it's cursed or not. Although I can't remember if she had a ring at the end of MI3...

Rock, paper and scissors is another feature that could be included. Anyways, keep working on it.

Again, I say.... drawings=good? But backgrounds? Animations? This is all talk, really..... how many other projects have people SHOT down in flames because they have nothing to show. So far we've seen a few still pictures, albiet very nice ones, but that's it. No plot, no sprites, nothing. Just some conversation about it.

Not to slag this project, but I love how sometimes people will support a project so hardcore with no evidence, and SLAM another one harder into the ground, sending a potential AGS programmer crying into a corner, cuddling with their blanket singing "All By Myself" by Eric Carmen.

That said, Phantom - let's see an animation or a background next.... that would be nice.

Hello there...
This is my first post, I just found out about AGS, and just saw this post and the beautiful art you are making for your project.
If you need help with the music, don't hesitate to ask me for help, I love to compose and making music for a MI game would be a lot of fun.
Using midi sounds like a good idea for the old times feeling... but maybe something "a bit better" would go along nicer with your fantastic artwork.

Cheers, everyone!

DamiÃ¡n.

Humm...Ã,Â

I don't understand your obstinacy to believe that the project will not succeed!!Ã,Â Ã,Â

I only started 2 weeks ago!!! Leave me time to make well!Ã,Â

I will not draw backgrounds without finishing the story: a good work is a precise work!
If you don't want to contribute to the project by suggestions, a support or others: don't come to write hereÃ,Â

For the othersÃ,Â

thanks for your ideas and your supports!!!Ã,Â

Bye!!!!Ã,Â Ã,Â

I know it looks great and i don't want to insult you but i thought the rules of games inproduction was that we had some storyline and screenshots, maybe it's just me...

Scummbuddy · Mon 03/05/2004 16:35:07

we have concept art (for backgrounds) and some character art, but yeah, as she said, she wants to get the story done before making anymore backgrounds, which, is the correct way to go.
