I'm making a short game to hang into the system, before creating something serious. I'll show you what I have done so far.

I'm going to complete this game, this is just a DEMO, so dont take it seriously.

P.S. There will be some mistakes with animating and speech. I'll fix then in second release...
//(Anyone knows how to fix font problem?)[SOLVED]
Progress
Story: 82%
Scripting: 78%
Backgrounds:70%
Characters:75%
Sound/music: 18%
Changing the OutlineStyle of the font to automatic worked for me when I had the same problem.
Anyways, nice graphics! I'll definately give this a go when I find the time ;D
The problem with the outlining would suggest that the letters in the two fonts are different sizes. For the outlining to work the width and height of each letter in the normal font should be the exact same as the width and height of the same letter in the outline font. Otherwise AGS can't correctly align your outline. So basically when you're making your normal font, leave room in the font editor for the outline to be displayed as well.
Aside from that, anybody else disappointed that this isn't actually Roger Wilco with the default sprites? Maaaannn..:P
(looks good for a first game)
I'll play someday with outlines.
I didn't knew Roger Wilco, haven't play many adventure games. And his name is Roger because I always in all projects use name Roger, though I never finish anything, maybe I'll have more success with this.
QuoteAside from that, anybody else disappointed that this isn't actually Roger Wilco with the default sprites?
lol! Me too! BLaRGH!
Anyway... um,
TheRoger, good luck with your first project! I love the Guybrush action figure, by the way ;)
\\--EDIT--\\
Your main character kinda looks like Yahtzee (from front). Anyone else make that connection?
I had the exact same font problem theroger.
All credit for this solution goes to abstauber - Just download the fonts from http://www.file-upload.net/download-1910940/fonts.zip.html and import them over the ones in the game already.
From the zip file import font1.ttf over font number 2 in the template, and font2.ttf over font 1 in the template I believe. If you import them at 10pt then in the general settings just make sure "fonts designed for 640x480" is set to false.
That worked for me anyways :)
Liked it! Will the final game have a real plot?
Yeah, I'm gonna finish it, just need to work more on story. Story will be in one city, don't want to make it big, because I have other game in plans, but want to finish this one to get all experience I can get. ;D
After a busy weekend, I'll show you some progress I made with game.
Part of cutscene:

Another part of cutscene(Now with custom animations ;D(It looks better when they "move")):

And world map idea (Water is animated):

Drew lots of new backgrounds, and started to work on story a bit. Need to work more on story and puzzles, because game is quite easy. I kinda have whole story in my mind, but desiding if I should put EPIC ENDING...
I think all for now... Updated main status...
More than a half game is finished. Already finished 11 rooms. Here are some of them:
This is my favorite, spend quite some time doing it:

Scene in the alley:

Old factory and some animations(can't see here):
(http://i43.tinypic.com/4hf6np.png)
It turned out that this will be full length game from short one. Added some story to it , added everything I had from anime creating and voila. Also I want to try to add voice here, but maybe after everything is done.
Planing to make a trailer and add some .avi cut scenes to the game(i'll see if it is possible). Updated status and I think that's all for today...
Looking good, look forward to playing the final product.
Could you unfold some story details?
This looks good, can't wait to play it. :)
But is that a typo I see in your last screenshot? 'Bootle' should be 'bottle'.
;)
;D didn't saw "bootle", I'll fix it, thanks for noticing it.
Story will be about Roger, who is running from chaws, because he somehow got in trouble with them. And he'll try to fix everything here. Epic ,but kinda unlogical ending is guaranteed. ;)
I almost thought this was going to be a Space Quest/Quest for Glory merger. Scary!
Roger Wilco...choose your class...
You're making great progress in any case.
I think that could be introduction in game ;D:
"When people hear my name, they think that I'm Roger Wilco, when they see me, they think that I'm Yahtzee guy..."
I'm back in business!!!
My friend remembered me that I still have a game to make, well at least finish it.
And that's what I'm doing. Planning to release this on 2011-04-04. And for this time, a small trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYKzbVJq6H0
