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

[PsychicHeart]

A Simpsons Game not authorized by FOX OR Matt Groening OR James L. Brooks OR Gracie Films OR Radical Entertainment?
I smell a lawsuit, but that may just be my lawyer intuiton.
But seriously, it looks like a great game. The ability to play as different characters is a very good feature, i'll be implementing THAT in my future games ( that's much like Krusty stealing someone's act .... well not really.... but..... y'know. ) so, long story short, it looks like a great game.
Good Luck.

Wow.. what an unhelpful post. There are tons of fan games that use intellectual property not of their own. Yes, we are all aware of the danger of making a game that uses characters not owned or created by ourselves, but we still do it. Theres a futurama game, a stargate, starwars, indiana jones and other LEC owned property, but that doesn't stop us, because we all have love for those games, and have ideas for advancing the characters and storyline, and most have enough care for the property to never want to harm it with a crappy fan game.

I'm glad that you are liking the game, but we don't need reminders telling us that we don't own them... we know that. I know you weren't trying to offend, but perhaps I just took personal offense to it, but now that I've thought about it, you weren't really out of line. Sorry.

It's cool to hear youre a lawyer, I've always thought about going that route.

If his profile reads correctly, he is a 12 year old lawyer.

Yeh nah im not saying im a lawyer im jst saying that the lawsuit thing, it's sometihng a lawyer would say. Lol. Me being a lawyer? hell no lol.

[PsychicHeart]

It sounds great, if Matt Groening found out about this he'd kick himself for not making a proper adventure game!

Ever heard of The Simpsons Hit & Run?

[Scummbuddy]

you quoted someone saying that there wasnt a simpsons adventure game back when there wasnt "The Simpsons Hit and Run".... so.. they were right.

[flukeblake_]

Huh? Oh. Yeah. I understand. OK.

[PsychicHeart]

But what about Virtual Springfield?

[PsychicHeart]

But den dats not reli an adventure game is it?

[Joseph DiPerla]

  am a big simpons fan and i pray you dont leave us hanging add a link as soon as its done i am counting mins and way to go GODS SPEED

[Joseph DiPerla]

Yes, Thank you.

I will work on this game as often as possible. Although I dont have all the time in the world, so it may take a while. That is the reason why I am releasing Templates as I go along while making this game. Becouse then if I dont finish, or if I take too long to finish, someone else in the meantime can create a Fan Simpsons Game. I think there is more than enough in the Template for people to make some mini-to-medium length games in there.

Heck, there are more stuff in there than most full-long adventures, so I would like to encourage everyone to make use of this Template, most of it is already programmed for you. All you have to do is create a plot, add some inventory and program that it and you have a game!

game agent - Before you dig up any more threads that have been inactive for 8 months, READ THE FORUM RULES!!!!

Sigh ...

Joey, how 'bout an update?

[Joseph DiPerla]

OK, well, my prequel to Springfield Woes is about almost done. You can expect that game to be done by the end of January. I have a complete Introduction scripted and ready. I have a good part of the game done as well. It will be a medium size game, but I want to make it more complete than that.

That game is going to be called "Where's Maggie?" It will be in the form of Maniac Mansion DOTT. You can control 3 characters. It currently has 27 rooms. So stay tuned for that.

All rooms in Springfield Woes and Where's Maggie as well as all characters, GUI's and other fun stuff, has been added to the Game Template as well.

Springfield Woes is my big project, so that wont be ready for about another year atleast. But, again, at the end of January, I will be releasing Wheres Maggie and an updated Template for all of you to use to make Simpsons Games/AGS shows.

You can still use the template now you know???....

I hope thats a good update for you Darth. I will be trying to add some images the the first post.

[Mugs]

Good to know that it's on it's wayÃ,  8).

[mastag83]

I'am a big Simpsons fan so this game is looking to be really good.

Some of the backgrounds seems like they have some quality problems but then the screenshot of the Kwike-Mart beer section seems perfect.

Alot of the backgrounds have generic colors are you going to change or make them more authentic like they are in the Simpsons show?

About the GUI you should make it like King's Quest where you just right click to get walk, talk, touch and look .

They's are just some questions and suggestions but regardless it will be the best Simpsons game ever.

Now I didn't want to bother Darth into saying the same thing, but I'm pretty sure that the Forum Rules say that diggin up 'dead' threads (official this is not dead), but still noone has seen it for the last 2 months, you could PM the creator. Not to mention his other Simpsons thread... Check the Simpsons thread in the 2nd page of the productions forum. Post there...

[Joseph DiPerla]

Yeah, this Simp game and the other are two seperate adventure games... This one being much larger.

About the Background, believe it or not, I took them from Cartoon Studio, the DVD's and Virtual Springfield.
