LMAO! no way! but wait! you never know  :o I am working on the introduction, I'm taking my time cos I really want it to be perfect. All I can say now about the plot is it is going to be funny, unexpected and spontaneous :P

Is the game title 'Anas Quest' or 'Anastronaut'  ???
Title: Re: Anastronaut
Post by: Tabata on Sun 31/07/2011 11:06:38
@ Arj0n:
I define it as his (Anas) Quest to create the game Anastronaut.  ::)

@ Anas:
The video was interesting, but the „thousands“ of cursor-changings irritated me a bit.
Can you tell a bit more about this special cursor?

Then it would be 'Anas' Quest'  ;)
Title: Re: Anastronaut
Post by: AnasAbdin on Sun 31/07/2011 11:26:59
lol thanx guys for the feedback..
I am still confused about the name.. it is originally called Anastronaut... I only did anas' quest in the video without thinking about it...

anyway, the cursors are similar to sierra's... walk/eye/hand/talk/inventory...
selecting between them is either by right-clicking or from the drop down menu at top...
I think the application I'm using for video capture (Freez) added an hour-glass to the cursors!
I kinda forgot about myself and life in the last few days sinking in AGS... so please bear with me   :-[
oh.. I wanted to know something: I know it's early since I completed less than 25% of my game so far, but how do I execute the game without AGS? I didn't look in it yet... ok I looked it up hehe

Thanks

this is seriously an awesome project. I can't wait to lay my hands on it. finally an adventure game which looks like SQ and maybe better  := graphics are simply AMAZING and I love the cut scenes! AND: Music is PERFECT for the sci-fi mood.

AnasAbdin you are a genuine game maker and I am proud to be your fan :)

~TongueSplit~ thanks :) made me speechless... your anticipation makes me need to polish my game much more before release.
Title: Re: Anastronaut [voice talents required]
Post by: ~TongueSplit~ on Mon 07/11/2011 20:33:14
as far as I see (screen shots and youtube stunning videos).. I think I see my reflection so clear and no need to polish any more! I got sick of people desperately wasting their time trying to imitate and continue space quest adventures. I sincerely believe that Anastronaut is going to be the next big thing.

you have no idea how much time & effort I'm spending now on polishing the game!!
no matter what I do, there's always something missing or needs more work! I'm also slicing speech files and renaming hundreds of files, adding them to the code... ugghh!

about the SQ fan games, I totally agree, I love SQ beyond explanation, that's why I never touched any of the fan games using original SQ material. ('SQ zero' and 'SQ The Lost Chapter' are exceptions here)

Thanks for the enthusiastic attitude :)

Hey AnasAbdin - I never heard back from you after that first conversation we had. If you're still interested, just PM me again, and I'll be happy to get on top of recording ASAP. If you've already found some other good talent, good luck on getting the game out! Really looking forward to playing it.

DISAGREE.

While I'm not fussed about speech as such, I do want the developer of any game to feel that it's the best title they can make. I'm happy to wait a bit longer.
