The Simpsons Game Template-- 5/9/08-- Template almost done, need HELP!!!!

[juncmodule]

Demo?   :'(

Did you find space for it yet?

PM me and I will host it if you still need someone to (so long as it's not over 5MB).

This project really deserves a website. Even if it's on some crappy free host you should put it up somewhere.

later,

I already bought a Web host package. I will upload it in a week or two.

Its part of my masterfx sites.

I spent about an hour ripping appropriate backgrounds out of Simpsons Cartoon Studio. I'm not sure, but I think I can take pretty good snapshots of the animations too for use by you. The backgrounds that i ripped come to about 10 megs. I dont know your email, or if your service could handle it. my freewebs host is down for construction, but i could either do neoles upload space, or just wait for freewebs.

[Joseph DiPerla]

Scummbuddy, I will set you up with an account at my website. I will PM you soon.

Joey

EDIT:

OK SB, I sent you a username, password and directory to where you can upload those backgrounds and even if you have character animations.

If anyone else wants to help with the project, all are welcome. If you want to even take frame grabs and backgrounds off the actual simpsons tv show, those are good as well.

[Scummbuddy]

Jesus, this thread is one year old today....and then I go and wait a year before helping you. I'm sorry,... and by the way, I noticed this cause today is now my birthday. so dont yell too much

[Joseph DiPerla]

OK, The website design is almost up. It will be generic, but it will give you all the details you need for the Simpsons games.

Next week along with the new Demo of "The Simpsons: Springfield Woes", there will be a fully released game : "The Simpsons: Where's Maggie?".

"Where's Maggie"? will be like a maniac mansion type game where Homer misplaces Maggie somewhere in the house. Your job will be to find her and search all the rooms in the house and find items to mix and use. That game will be a strictly Homer game with his special Interface.

"Springfield Woes" right now has 30 rooms in it, and there will be more by the time the demo is released.

Both games may include intro video's. So beware the file may be big. Once I release the game and demo, if anyone wants to provide me with a mirror site for both, I would appreciate it. Bandwidth is expansive for me on my server.

Thanks.

Wow, this looks fun....I sure can't wait till this is released, or at least the demo.

I love games where you can walk around the neighborhood/town.

[Joseph DiPerla]

Okay, there is going to be a delay in the games and demo release as well as the website.

Sorry guys.

I am going to try to release these two games and demos by wednesday, latest friday.

Sorry for the inconvenience guys.

[Scummbuddy]

Check your Private messages for a website link

but sorry about the bmps on the link

[Joseph DiPerla]

Hey no problem, it is all good.

JD

[Scummbuddy]

oh yeah, the reason some pictures aren't posted is that they go over the 750k limit that is imposed on new freewebs sites... so after 7 days, i can go nuts. and i should add up character animations then, and if i have time tonight after studying, ill add up objects.

[Joseph DiPerla]

Hey Thanks Scummbuddy. I appreciate all your help in this.

I guess I could announce to the community that ScummBuddy has been a very helpful person in my Simpsons game. Lots of thanks goto him.

By the Way, I never thought a game I am making would ever get over 70 replies!!!!

JD

[Joseph DiPerla]

Hey guys, I have a serious problem with my net connection. I cant connect for more than five minutes at a time.

As soon as I can connect to upload the games, I will let you know.

I am so sorry for this guys.

BTW: Netzero and JUNO STINKS!!!!

for: Scummbuddy and Joseph

Do you think to release also a resource pack for anyone interested in doing another adventure based on the simpsons?

hope so....

[JoeyDcell]

Yeah, I plan on it.  But I plan on releasing it as a template file for AGS this way it is already setup for you(The house and rooms and other area's of the game).

Joey

[Joseph DiPerla]

OK, I got an Internet connection! Yay!

I will upload the game before next thursday. But I am actually thinking of releasing it January 1st to try and see if I can make the game be the first one released in 2004.

But on the other hand, I would love to qualify for the awards. What do you all think?

And just to shed some more light on the template... All walkable area's will be defined and set and the walkbehinds. Even the hotspots. And every room is connected to eachother properly. Also It will include all the Simpsons family characters and other characters and locations and objects/sprites/inventory.

Even the GUI will be set up for you. All you have to do is make the game at that point. Although there would be some code already put in, I will not include comments in there. Sorry.

hey, how's the completion of the game going?

[Joseph DiPerla]

Completion of the first game is done. But I have a serious problem, actually a few.

As Scummbuddy may have noticed when trying to upload to my server, we both had some serious issues there.

Nextly, the file download is more than 5 megs, unzipped is like 8. But my connection sends the upload at 1.2 kbps and my connection stays on for only 15 minutes at a time. I am having some serious connection problems.

My FTP program wont continue the upload from where it left off.

If anyone has any good FTP programs I could use, please let me know.

[adanzis]

any chance you can e-mail?  my e-mail has an unlimited storage, so you could send me a 5 MB files (but would it take longer than 15 minutes for the e-mail to leave your computer); you can e-mail me at adanzis@loyola.edu (Yes, yes, i put my e-mail address here, b/c every spammer in the world already has it!)

[Joseph DiPerla]

Yeah, its my ISP, I have to keep reconnecting to it. It has bad connections.

It could be my computer in general, becouse I used AOL, Netzero, and Juno and they all connect me at the same speeds.
