Larry Lotter and the Test of Time
It's time for the final exams at Magic University, and notorious slacker Larry Lotter is about to flunk all of them because he spent less time studying and more time drinking beer. But there is yet hope! Using a spell to travel back in time, he gets the chance to do his day over again and pull some tricks to pass the exams anyway! And he has to, because it's his Destiny.
Join Rob Greasley, Calliope DeRanged and Professor Mumblemore in this short Harry Potter parody, loosely based on the greatly admired books by J.K. Rowling. Watch the other characters act and interact off their own accord, and spin time back and forth to interfere.

This is the Deluxe version with improved higher-resolution graphics, a professional voice pack, and translations into into French, Brazilian Portuguese, German, Hungarian, Dutch, Russian, and Italian.

Found & fixed.
Since this thread has been bumped, Radiant, did you see this:
Quote from: Michael Beck on Wed 29/11/2006 16:07:58
While playing Warthogs, after a minute or two of play the game stops working. I didn't copy down the error information the first two times, but on the third the message was as follows:
Error: run_text_script1:error - 6 running function "repeatedly execute"
Errror: script appears to be hung (150001 loop iterations without an update) in
Character script(line 323)
from Global script(line 357)
Edit:
Ah, didn't see this was a new thread.
Yes, I did. That's the bug that I had fixed when I started this thread. The solution is to download again :)
My fave Radiant game so far!
I love how you made the people feel alive by making them wander around and have routines, and even chat with each other!
Lovely graphics, except the inventory screen - run out of time?
The wand fx is cool, but I would have had it do that only on the menu screen.
This game feels different enough to most AGS games, good job!
Wow, this game is so full of cool awesomeness and awesome coolness!
QuoteThe wand fx is cool, but I would have had it do that only on the menu screen.
You can turn that off with the Sparkerimousa spell.
And turning off music is Musiquietam. ;)
The GUI is default AGS; indeed, there wasn't much time to make a new GUI as we only started on the game halfway through the month, during which we were also quite busy with real life.
I bow. This game's a hit. Graphics spot-in-place, good fun to play, a charming parody that's not at all tasteless- and Cuppit actually doing something useful, in all his blue usefullness. And I really had a good laugh when I recognised "Ron". What, me worry?
Consider you and your team as giving me a first little christmas present here, Rad.

[smartass]He's called "Alfred E. Neuman".[/smartmass]
Considering how great are those backgrounds in this game, that makes me even more eagerly waiting atotk! Congrats fizzii! Very well done.
Btw any progress with atotk?
The graphics are awesome but unfortunately I found the game somewhat messy. At times it was difficult to understand what exactly was happening with people running around and talking etc. I'm not sure if the game bugged or it if was supposed to be like that. But yeah I can imagine all that being basically because of the small amount of time. Oh yeah it was quite funny.
Quoteit was difficult to understand what exactly was happening with people running around and talking etc. I'm not sure if the game bugged or it if was supposed to be like that.
Yes, it's supposed to be like that. The other characters are interacting on their own while you do your own thing. I like that feature anyway, it the game more life. After you've played through the day once or twice, you should get the idea of what's going on anyway (since you have to repeat it to pass your exams ;)).
Iv4n - thanks! ATOTK is nearly finished. All necessary graphics are done, and I'll add in a few more animations as I like. Mainly scripting and bugfixing left, which is up to Radiant.
Yep :) the point is that several things are happening simultaneously.
in simultanious happenness

Yep, I've just uploaded a new version that includes a prettier inventory screen.
A bundle of laughs! :) (and the graphics are nice, too)
To Radiant, Fizzii and Meerbat.
This was amongst the most enjoyable and addictive AGS games that I've played so far! :) Are you thinking about expanding it?
only after they finish ATOTK
Thank you.
Expanding, no. Writing a sequel or similar game, maybe. Doing ATOTK first, yes.
I loved it! Sequel would be great!
I felt this game needed a clock or something so the player knows how much time they have before the next exam and how much time they have rewound.
The graphics were good.
Update: We're looking for voice actors. The game contains 8 voices with approx 50 lines each. Drop me a line if interested.
I'd love to be a voice actor. :D
I'd love to be a voice actor as well :)
Let me dig out my microphone and I'll love to be a voice actor. ;)
:( one of the elastics on the shock mount for my condenser mic popped :( my studios out of commision till i replace it
Why not? I'd be willing to lend my voice to the game as well, if anyone's interested. How do you plan on holding auditions?
I could do voice acting too!
Hmm...perhaps I could also do some voice-acting if still needed. Check After a Shadow if you need to hear what my voice is like.
*cough* Me be voice actor! *cough*
Well, it took a bit longer than expected, but the Voice Pack is finally here! Listen to your favorite AGS colleagues as they take on the roles of drunken slacker Larry Lotter, evil creep Darco Alloy, and absent-minded professor Mumblemore.
Also including loyal sidekick Rob Greasley, fanatic study-head Calliope DeRanger, and scheming potioneer Devius Drape. And last but certainly least, everybody's favorite (as in, only) helpful blue cup, Cuppit!
Thanks to Tiki and Nikolas for voice editing and direction, and Fawfulhasfury, Grundislav, The Ivy, joelpage, Scummbuddy and spacepiratecaine for the voices.
Available here (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/817).
Great job Radiant... Well I've finished Warthogs some days ago...but what the heck?
Megaupload... That does not work here so I can't download it. :(

Larry Lotter and the Prisoner's Secret Goblet of the Deathly Phoenix Prince?
Catchy title. Has, in fact, all the complexity that Infinite Monkeys had in its gameplay. So it doesn't seem impossible! :=
I wholeheartedly support the creation of Warthogs: LLATPSGOTDPP. I'd even reprise my Drape role, if it were there for me to do.
The new version with the voices is brilliant. The voice actors did a good job. :D
Ps:
what about Larry Lotter and the secret chamberness?
chamberMAID, I think you meant.
I've played through the whole game now but was wondering who exactly did the voices for which person...

Great Game! :D 1 year later and already known as a classic.
2 possible bugs, but my laptop got arthritis :
Spoiler
After 'Frotz' is cast for the second time at the beginning of 'Day 2' , Calliope stays on her dark Goth-Style-darkness-emulation-clothes for all game-long. Also, strange sprites of Darco (or drapes?) - cut in half (sit?) position flash sometimes in the main hallways and in the library...
EDIT : [ hide ] , Dan, [ hide ]
Update: there's now a French translation, for the international players out there, thanks to Shai-la. Some other translations are in the works.
Brazilian Portuguese Translation complete ;D
;D This game looks really cool but glitches on STARTUP MAJOR on my Vista Machine?
Was it, / Is There any chance of upgrading this to 3.0 which games work with Vista?

I'd suggest you visit the technical forum on this site; many people appear to have no problems running AGS 2.X games on Vista.
I'd be interested in making a spanish tranlation if no one is working on one (and I'd advertise the game on some spanish forums) or proof reading it if it's already in progress.
PM me if interested.
EDIT: nvm, I visited the webpage and there seems to be a spanish translation already.
Thanks!
What's more, we also have a German translation now, courtesy of Marco Rosenberg. I think we're running out of languages here :P
Well, I did offer pig-latin...
Nope, not running out of languages yet. The new translation is Hungarian, courtesy of Bela Selmeci. I'may afraidway igpay atinlay isway otnay anway ealray optionway.
