Frank the Farmhand Part 2 - UPDATED VERSION 1.1 RELEASED!!!!

[fovmester]

Version 1.1:
Changes since version 1.0:
* Fixed some missing room interactions.
* Cleaned up some dialogs.
* Added options to some dialogs.
* Made rope-hotspot larger.
* Fixed lots and lots of grammar-mistakes (Thanks to Steve McCrea)
* Changed icon to be consistent with part 1's icon.

Version 1.0:
Finally! It's taken me one year of production to finish this game. So rest assured that there's A LOT of time and effort put into this title.


Story:
After having escaped from the agents, Frank and his friends are captured by the american military and brought to a military camp on the island of Guija.
Frank needs once again to save his friends, and escape from the clutches of the Syndicate!



In the second part of Frank's adventures you'll find yourself on an exotic island with lots of new characters to interact with, and many challenging problems to solve.

This game is bigger, better and more beautiful than its predecessor!

[Mats Berglinn]

I'm stuck:

Spoiler

A pile of rocks have blocked my way after I took the tape. I used the sylphyr on the bowl but I need the other stuff for the ingredients. I've got bomb-recipie, charcoal, chilsel and hamer, silvertape, jar, log, metal rod, cannabis plant and magnifing glass. How do you get the termites off the tree (I suppouse you should get rid of them to get sawdust)?

[close]

[aussie]

Mats,

Spoiler

Picking up those termites might be easier than you think.

[close]

[Mats Berglinn]

Great but I still need the other ingredients.

Spoiler

Any hints on how to distract Clifford so I can take the oil (and maybe get his dart)? Where can I find that potaoum thing (I've got the sawdust and sylphyr and I know where I can find the oil but I don't quite remember what the other ingredient is)?

Where can I use the termites? I've tried every wood there is.
What do I need to catch the pink whatever? I put the jar on the ground and some of the stew in it, but it still won't come out of its hole.

[close]

[splat44]

Termite:

Spoiler

[close]

Animal:

Spoiler

[close]

Debris:

Spoiler

You need to blow it up but there are problems. I did took part of beta testing and one item is missing. Therefore, I just informed fovmester about and fixes will be applied

[close]

[Khris]

wannabe78: how were you able to finish the game??

Spoiler

After putting the sulphur, sawdust and oil into the bowl, he still won't add the potassium...

[close]

It's a bug not yet removed

splat44:

Spoiler

I've used the jar on the ground and then the plate with food (stew) on jar. He put it in there, I even left the cave afterwards, but the animal didn't fall for the trap

[close]

[mags_don]

[close]

[mags_don]

[Joyce]

I didn't get a bug, making the bomb worked fine for me,

Spoiler

I was able to make the bomb by putting ingredients in the bowl and then using the bowl to mix it and then used potassium.

[close]

khrismuc, Try putting the food in jar before putting on ground. The Animal will get to it.

[Joyce]

to catch animal

Spoiler

you also have to put some food on the ground as well as the jar with food in it on the ground

[close]

[Mats Berglinn]

Actually krismuc you gotta to do this:

Spoiler

Put some food on the ground also, then the animal will get into the jar once he tasted the food (remember it won't fall for it if there's no food in the jar).

[close]

Also I'm stuck:

Spoiler

After have discovered the agents and the hideout I need to get the bone from the archelogic site and need to get the coil from the plane but I can't pick it up and I don't know how to distract Archie nor how to replace the bone.

[close]

[fovmester]

To clarify things:

Spoiler

The magnifier was hanging beside the wunderbaum at Clifford's house in the beta-version. Now however I've moved it somewhere else, because I thought it was a bit cheap to get two things at the exact same spot.

[close]

Getting the bone:

Spoiler

To get the bone let Ben distract Archie: When Ben is with you just Pick it up.

[close]

About the coil:

Spoiler

You can't take the coil from the plane. But perhaps you can use it anyway?

[close]

[Mats Berglinn]

I've completed the game. It was even better and longer than the first part. Looks like we have to wait another year for the third and possibly final part of the Frank the Farmhand series.

The ones who haven't got very very far don't read this spoiler:

Spoiler

It was really unexpecting that Max would get killed because he and Sam seems to be like the famous cartoony smart short leader and dumb tall compainion duo. Anyway, it was fun and I hope the same fate will happen to Sam and Mr. Big (Who I suspect is very short because it's a famous cartoon cliché but I might be wrong).

[close]

[veryweirdguy]

Tis a great game thus far fov but I'm stuck:

Spoiler

I'm trying to catch this pink animally thing in the cave but I can't find this jar of which everyone speaks. Where is it?

[close]

EDIT: Never mind, I found it.

[Pelican]

Khrismuc, if you're still having trouble:

Spoiler

To capture the pink creature, first use the plate of food on the jar, and put this on the ground. Walk to the right of the cave, but DO NOT exit! Wait until the creature peeks out, and crawls into the jar. Then pick up the jar (careful you don't click on the creature itself or he says he can't catch it). That should work.

[close]

[helppls]

can anione tell me where's the jar?

[Khris]

helppls:

Spoiler

It's half buried in sand at the beach. (To the right of the village.)

[close]

pelican:
Thanks, I missed that one has to

Spoiler

put food on the ground, too.

[close]

But, still stuck:

Spoiler

After I cleared up the debris, I wasn't sure what to do. I figure that I somehow have to get the boy's rubber snake to scare away the guard. Then the iron rod will break the gate's lock, I hope.
So, how do I get the snake?

[close]

[helpls]

what do i do with the book?
2.where can i get the tape?

[Mats Berglinn]

helps:

Spoiler

First about the tape: There's a piece of tape at the mountain pass. The book: You gotta trade it with Clifford the castaway for the dart.

[close]

[helpls]

what do i do with the dart?

[splat44]

Dart

Spoiler

See who you can use it on at the beach

[Krazy]

All i can say is cool 

[fovmester]

Thanks a lot, Krazy!

[Pelican]

helppls

Spoiler

You get the spark plug after following the agents. Have you been back to the village lately?

[close]

omg

Spoiler

The hotspot for the rope is rather small. Just move the mouse around a bit and you'll get it.

[close]

[helpls]

finished the game finally. i have some suggestion
1.some of the hotsptos were too small and hard to see such as the bottle and the rope in the well
2.when going from one location to another on the map is it possible for the character to be seen clearly actualy walking on the map and sometimes when i press when o want to get from oneplace to another it takes a few seconds before it actually moves


overall q good  game

Ã,  Wonderful game,Ã,  Enjoyed it so much,Ã,  Thank you...............

I'm so glad you liked my game!! Thanks a lot!

Ditto.  fovmester, this was a Great game.  It took me 2 days to complete it.  Puzzles made sense.   Hope we don't have to wait too long for a sequel.  Looking forward to it.  Man you really deliver good games.

[Kweepa]

This was a great game!
I played through Part 1 yesterday to get ready.
I was impressed by the amount of animation and the consistency of the artwork in both games - I was a bit worried by the KKK involvement but it was pretty well handled I thought.
The artwork reminds me a lot of Beavis and Butthead - not beautiful but solid.
My only gripe with Part 1 was the cat puzzle - I had to check your walkthrough for the solution.

Part 2 was a definite improvement in that all the puzzles were logical without always being too obvious. I had a lot of "aha" moments which I love in adventure games. For example

Spoiler

The termites and the log.
The iron bar and the well.
The dart - and that chain of things to do.

[close]

The only problem I had was

Spoiler

I had all the bomb ingredients but it took a lot of fiddling around with the bowl to get the bomb made. I can't remember what I tried but you could make that a bit easier.

[close]

One thing I'd suggest for the next (final) game would be someone to clean up the dialog. Sometimes it shows that English isn't your first language, and there are a few spelling mistakes (more so in Part 1).
I'd also question the use of swearing in the game. It seems completely superfluous and rather incongruous.

All in all, though, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Thanks!

Steve

[yipshi]

Where is the rod?

[yipshi]

Spoiler

I have followed the agents to their hiding place and given the dog the bone.  I have no idea what rod I am supposed to use to get the key out of the well and I don't know what to do with the coil.  Please help.

[close]

[Pelican]

One thing I'd suggest for the next (final) game would be someone to clean up the dialog. Sometimes it shows that English isn't your first language, and there are a few spelling mistakes (more so in Part 1).

I did some of the beta-testing and sorted a number of spelling and grammar mistakes (English is my first language). Just out of professional interest, what things did I miss?

Yipshi:

Spoiler

The rod is lying on the ground behind Clifford's hut, between the pile of bamboo, and the stump with the coconut on it. To get the key, first press the green button on the plane, and use the rod on the coil (this makes it a magnet). Then go to the village, use the pulley to bring the rope to the top, use the rod on it, use the pulley twice and pick up the rod and key.

[close]

[Kweepa]

I did some of the beta-testing and sorted a number of spelling and grammar mistakes (English is my first language). Just out of professional interest, what things did I miss?

Well, Ulster-ish anyway

I'd have to replay the game and make notes, and I'm not sure how productive that would be right now. Unless the fovmester is listening?

[Pelican]

Its just it was the first thing I've done beta-testing for, and I'm a bit of a perfectionist to be honest! I think there were probably some bits of dialogue that weren't technically grammatically correct, but no one actually speaks perfectly grammatically correct English in casual conversation.

Example: "Are you dissing me 'cos I is Northern Irish?" 

[fovmester]

Unless the fovmester is listening?

The fovmester is ALWAYS listening!

If you have time and will, please find any spelling mistakes I've made and I'll correct them. I'd really appreciate it!

I just realize... that the problem is I haven't got...

Spoiler

the sawdust. I already took a log and use it with the termites, and then "assumed" that I have sawdust. But I don't think this is the case. I don't see the sawdust anywhere, and I still can't just "use" the bowl...

[close]

[fovmester]

sawdust hint:

Spoiler

No, the termites ate the whole log. They're too eager! How can you make them less active?

[close]

solution:

Spoiler

Pick up the cannabis from the long leafed plant outside Clifford's hut. Use the cannabis on the termites. Then pick up another log from Clifford and use the termites on the log. Tata! You've got sawdust!

[close]

[erratic]

I'm stuck again. 

Ben and I have just killed Max and we're in the "syndicate" place. I have found the two cards on Max, but couldn't figure out what to do. Any help?

[fovmester]

Use the elevator to get to level 2.
There's another card there somewhere.

Spoiler

It's beneath one of the grids

[close]

[Mats Berglinn]

There's one thing that I think it's so weird that nobody never have said anything about:

Spoiler

In Frank the Farmhand 1 Frank got the weenies back (which someone pointed out) and fovmester said it was going to be used in Frank the Farmhand 2 but when I completed the game I got chocked that it NEVER happened because the weenies didn't even appear in the start of the game. Why's that, fovmester? If this have been changed in FF2 then maybe it's a good idea to change the weenies part in FF1.

[close]

[fovmester]

Oh I must've forgot!  :o

No but seriously I don't remember saying that the weenies should be in Part 2. Maybe I did but then I forgot about it when writing the "part 2"-story. Sorry.

But here's a big spoiler:

Spoiler

The weenies'll definately be used in part 3

[close]

[Traveler]

Bug Report:

I got stuck behind the debris in the mountain pass, where Frank cannot move. I have a save game here: http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/agssave.zip

I left the digging site, got in the lower right corner of the mountain pass screen and tried to walk to island. I ended up behind the debris, as you see it in the savegame.

Also, Ctrl+Q brings up the default Quit message box instead of the custom one - I don't know if this is a problem or by design so I thought I mention it.

[fovmester]

Thanks for the report. I think I've fixed it now. It was a region that was like one pixel to small so if you were incredibly unlucky you could get past it without triggering it.

[Traveler]

Nice game, fovmester! I just finished it, it has an amazing atmosphere. I liked the humor, too, good job! I hope Part 3 will be out soon.

[fovmester]

Thanks a lot! 

Part 3 will not be out anytime soon, though. I've started to think about the story and some puzzles but I'm actually quite fed up with Frank and his adventures at the moment.

Instead I've begun another project that I think will be REALLY interesting. I'm not ready to reveal it yet, but I can tell you that it's very different from my previous games. it's just gonna be one game (not three like FtF), and after it's done I'm gonna make part 3 of Frank's adventure.

If you're disappointed by this news, don't be. Because instead of FtF3 you'll get another game that might be just as fun to play. Besides this mean I'll have even more experience when I start making part 3 which should hopefully make that game the best in the series.

[Julie]

How do I get the oil??? He wont let me... i even tried while he turned to get the dart...

[Mozesh]

Ehm Hints & Tips forum?
