Okay, the story goes like this: It's a beautiful summer day, and Joe(Joseph) must still go to school. If that wasn't enough, his whole class(including him) did it so bad on the last math test that the teacher has informed them to practise math all day! Joe exuses himself to go to the toilet, but is really trying to escape. The doors leading outside is locked shut during lesson, so Joe must use his imagination. Can you help him out before it's too late(Okay, it's never "too late". You can use as much time as you want...)?!

I've finished most of the hard stuff this week, and I hope to get this game done as soon as possible.

Screenies(I will get more soon, so take it easy.):

Cool graphics. But the door looks kinda funny in comparison fith the lockers. The angle doesnt look good. But the story is original and the garphics are great. RESPECT

I like it. Nice Style and everything. As for finding a musician try looking for people with a symbol below their names.

Vel · Sun 23/05/2004 11:22:35

That's cool, looking forward to playing it.

Peter Thomas · Sun 23/05/2004 13:52:58

I might be interested in doing music, depending on what sort of style you're looking for. PM me (I'd pm you, but I really don't have time right now) and we can figure out what sort of style you're looking at.

Dart · Sun 23/05/2004 17:44:24

Nice work... the game strongly reminds me of The Adventures of Willy Beamish.

I'll be sure to play it when it comes out.

HillBilly · Sun 23/05/2004 18:04:34

I've never played that game, so I wouldn't know.

Damien · Sun 23/05/2004 19:53:09

Heh, the story reminds me of the Beavis and Butthead adventure game.

Also, what kind of music are you looking for, I mean, what genre?

HillBilly · Sun 23/05/2004 19:57:53

It don't need to be a certain genre. Just cartoony, like DOTT. It need to be funny, but not too funny. It's kind of hard to explain. I need some music to listen to before I can tell. $:-\$

Renal Shutdown · Mon 24/05/2004 13:41:38

Looks pretty nifty. As for the music, what genre and what format. I might have some spare time coming up.

EDIT:

Cartoon-y as a genre is a bit vague. Powerpuff was kinda punky, Fantasia was Classical and I can't remember the DOTT music.

HillBilly · Mon 24/05/2004 17:46:07

I'll take mostly, really. Aslong it isn't scary/depressive and would fit in a cartoony game.

Mats Berglinn · Mon 24/05/2004 18:15:33

I think what HillBilly wants is typical cartoony music that is from the 40's to 70's like Tom & Jerry, Warner Bros.' cartoons, that sort of cartoony music. The cartoony genre for Day of the Tentacle were based on Warner Bros cartoons especially Chuck Jones cartoons like Road Runner & Coyote so the music style is based on those kind of music.

HillBilly, haven't you PM m0ds, Trapezoid or other guys that can make music? If you don't who can do music, just check the music-making icon on their posts.

InCreator · Tue 25/05/2004 00:27:56

I like it! and I especially like the angle, because it offers more wall areas, which are easier to detail! But - make a good side view walkcycle(s), to hit with full effect.

Only thing I don't like at the first sight - are colors. Try to put more contrasty, bright and happy colors! This adds some "cartoon-ness" too. Like right now you have a GUI, where verbs are dark blue with dark purple outline. Bad idea. Give em' brighter outline or font color!

Er, and avoid MS-Paint's default palette at any cost.

HillBilly · Wed 26/05/2004 06:51:18

Any brighter GUI would make your eyes burn in the blackest hell. I tried it, and it was terrible. So I used the DOTT colours instead.

Baz · Wed 26/05/2004 22:02:27

i envy people who can draw

game looks cool, cant wait to play it:D

HillBilly · Sun 30/05/2004 11:37:09

New screenie, and no longer need for musician.

PiRiRi · Sun 30/05/2004 19:36:43

WONDERFULL

:o

The graphics, story and options (kick option) make the game look 1 of the best ever made with AGS :o

rtf · Sun 30/05/2004 23:13:37

Oh boy! I can't wait for this one to get ready.
I can't wait so much that I have to ask:

Need any beta testers?

HillBilly · Mon 31/05/2004 10:12:06

Sure! I need as many as possible! Interested?

rtf · Mon 31/05/2004 17:54:03

Of course!

HillBilly · Mon 31/05/2004 18:43:27

Great. You're on my list.

Dart · Mon 31/05/2004 22:36:43

I'll be on your beta-tester list... that is, however, if you let me.

HillBilly · Tue 01/06/2004 17:19:25

Sure, I'll need as many as possible. All needed is a reply.

I could also need some proof readers. My english isn't that bullet proof.

HillBilly · Wed 30/06/2004 20:03:37

I'm setting this project on HOLD for about a month, since I got paid animation jobs going. Hope I can continue soon!

(If I got time now and then, I may work on some graphics)

switcharoo · Wed 30/06/2004 22:54:10

Put me down as a beta tester, looks like a good game i'll be glad to help whenever it comes out of being "on hold".

Gord10 · Thu 01/07/2004 17:45:33

Hey, this game looks good.

Stee(nocookies) · Mon 05/07/2004 23:45:03

If you still need testers, im interested. I have some experience in sim game testing, but would like a go at this genre. Just catch me on my normal username (Stee). I can'tlogin at the moment because am using a diffferent net access that doesn't support cookies.

ghostface · Mon 02/08/2004 04:09:37

you said that the game was delayed a month and its been two months...

...so i'm probably screwed with the beta testing...but if you see this...I would love to test your game! Really!

HillBilly · Mon 09/08/2004 09:57:49

Sure. I need as many as possible.

If there are more proof readers out there, please reply!

ghostface · Mon 09/08/2004 13:25:37

Great! As said with my icons, I can also proofread. Would love to help you out there also.

HillBilly · Wed 11/08/2004 21:42:15

Added some more Info and updated one of the screenies.

wpowell · Mon 03/03/2008 21:34:23

I would like to be a beta tester and will also proofread for any writing mistakes in the game itself and will email an attachment with the mistakes and in which rooms I found them in. This game is great, I will enjoy proofreading it and enjoying the graphics, which I think are fine. Thank you.

m0ds · Mon 03/03/2008 21:44:48

I was very confused just then reading "Dart" as a beta-tester... And then realised this thread is 4 years old :/ I'd be prepared for Wrath Mandarb to come a-locking
