Weed Quest - Updated main character!

Gfunkera · Mon 29/03/2004 04:12:28

Ok I've begun working on "Weed Quest" its a new game I'm working on myself.

- Story -
You play Ashton in this epic adventure to find out what has happend to the worlds supply of weed. You start off in this game at your home when you realize that your stash is gone, eventually you find that the entire world has also lost their supply. It is up to you to find and restore the worlds supply! You will encounter many wacky characters from crack heads, to warlords. You will travel to Mexico & Somewhere of the coast of Florida. If you have a good sense of humor then you'll realy enjoy this game.
Be sure to check my Website I'm also lookin for anyone who would like to join the "Weed Quest" team? If your interested pm or mail me. I will add more updates when they are available. 8)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- EDIT -
Here are a few new screen shots, notice the style in the first one. This is how I'm going to try and keep it for the entire game...

-EDIT-
I have been working almost everyday on the game, made a new logo. I also have spiffed up all the intro bg's. It realy looks good, and I'm hoping to have a playable demo ready in a month, so be sure to check in frequentley!

- EDIT -
I've redrawn the main character here is a image that shows the new character art. I'm still editing and changing him but this is close to what he's going to look like in the game. Its a big change from the first one!

-Backround Art: 12%

-Animations: 10%

-Puzzles: 20%

-Scripting: 15%

-GUIs 100%

-Music 00%

A look at Ashton's Room!

Main menu of the game.

This is where Ashton kicks it!

Each button has mousover and its starting to look pretty nice.

Just want to point out that the gun in that guy's hand looks like a banana.

Haha! I have never seen such an ugly game in my whole life! For the background you used patterns as a roof and standard photoshop brushes! HaHA!

Wow. You obviously haven't played very many games.

With a bit more experience I think you'd recognize that the graphics in this are a nice attempt.

Good luck on the game, Ashton.

And if you didn't knew yet, that gun looks like a banana!

I'd like to see if you can do better. :

Thanx bspeers1000 & Erwin_Br.

Ok now as I've finished the intro of the game and the first 2 rooms along with a few puzzles, It has come to my realization that I will not beable to make the game in any res bigger than 320 x 240 it has already reached almost 4 megs in 640 x 480, which is not a big deal to me but I don't want the finished game to be like 10 or 15 megs when It don't have to be. So now I'm gonna have to redo rooms 1 & 2. I'm also rethinking my style, what do you fellas think might be apropriate & are there any tutorials you think I might want to seriously consider trying.

- UPDATE ON GUI - Finally finished the gui also it looks awesome although I'm having some problems with the scripting, I'll be posting in the technical forum soon 8)

Gfunkera · Thu 01/04/2004 22:44:07

Yea, it actualy slipped my mine I could zip them.... :

$:-\$ But anywho I added a new screen shot of what I've changed my style to, its simple, and perfect for a stoners game! I'm about half way thru the main intro, I think this will look real nice when finished. I expect to maybe have a demo ready by late May if everything goes as planned. 8)

Good luck with this. Don't be down on 320x400 though

It's a lot of fun! I love finding ways of making items and objects work with fewer pixels. Think of it as an excuse for things not looking perfect ^_- It has so many upsides!

I can't approve of the subject matter though >

Also, Mappo, what are you even doing here with that attitude?

modgeulator · Fri 02/04/2004 02:58:52

I think the graphics look just fine, better than I could ever manage. The plot could be hilarious, not sure how well it'll go down - folks are kinda conservative round these here parts.

OK, I tried going to your website but all I got was a pop-up box with the text: "In order to view this site, you must click YES." Pressing "OK" brings the box back up immediately. The only way to close the window was by shutting down Internet Explorer with ctrl-alt-del. Very nasty bug.

Gfunkera · Fri 02/04/2004 03:33:00

hhhhhmmmm.... I'm not sure what that is something different with my provider?? Although I don't remember ever getting that window?? So I probally outta change maybe?? This is who I'm through ----->>>> http://www.freewebsites.com

modgeulator · Fri 02/04/2004 03:47:02

I dunno, I tried it again and it isn't doing it now. Maybe it was something on my side.

Gfunkera · Wed 07/04/2004 23:12:49

-BUMP-

Added new background, pretty much finished with the intro sequences.. Its going great! Be back soon for further updates 8)

DanClarke · Thu 08/04/2004 10:45:23

keep it up mate, be interesting to play this one

Kojiro · Thu 08/04/2004 12:34:43

It does'nt look too bad, although, I hate to be a bastard, but the graphics are kinda bad {dont get mad} But I am entitled to my opinion, Just as you are.
I just played way to many games of this kind of category, but keep it up, You just might change my mind.

P.S. I NEED SAMURAI SPRITES, Email me at axel_rpg@hotmail.com

DanClarke · Thu 08/04/2004 14:11:35

You should know that graphics arent everytihng, if the storys good and the puzzles are interesting, that's what will make it.
