Hello everyone, im new to this community and am looking to peice together a game simular to :
http://www.fasco-csc.com/works/crimson/crimson_e.php
thats the crimson room. its written in flash.
The point of my thread is id like to make my game in first person. Im using 3d studio max to make 3d scenes and render them out to jpg. So 1 scene will have like a closed coffin, another an open coffin... clicking on the screen can collect, turn on, open, read, and other commands, .. very simular to maniac mansion, deja vu, broken sword... (however deja vu is the only 1st person out of them all) ... just looking for simular menu layout.
searched the knowledge base and there was only info for a 1st person shooter styled game.
thank you all for your opinions and help. im looking forward to making a fun game.
It is easy to do you just need to check the little box to hide the Player Chararcter and them have him on the room.
When you move to the next room just move him and have the same box check.
The Chararcter can be just a icon but you need to have him in the room for it to work.
See my game Taken in the AGS Games in Production forum as it is that style.
We have a Beginner's FAQ, which has this question answered, with perhaps many more that you haven't thought of, so go ahead and check it out, along with the answer to your question, here:

excellent thank you ! ive been following the tutorial, i guess it will be lots easier doing a game this way since i dont have to worry about al that walk command stuff.
i guess i can just use hotspots with 4 different images or more to imitate a 360 view of the room. looking at the coffin in front of me and spining around to open the door or reaching for a crowbar. =)
i have lots of questions but ill checking out the faqs before i post.
