I've finished a short little game called "Lost in the Woods". It should take about an hour to complete. I wanted to finish it before New Years but the year got away from me. I try to learn something new about AGS with every game... This one was about mirrors and switching from graphical variables to global Ints. More notes!!! I love AGS! Thanks Chris for a great engine. I'm still too chicken to try the new version though. The story:You decide to go on a little vacation but you forgot the map. You need to find your way home.

Lost in the Woods but I found a cool rock. Like who hasn't in an adventure game? With no Rock Module. There's a Rock Module?!
Also, I was sort of experimenting with photoshop water color backgrounds. Hope you enjoy this little diversion.
Special thanks to splatt44 and Ashen for all their help.
Abuse of fresco photoshop effect... love it. The game ain;t bad.
This is not a good game for me, the screens all look the same and I have had enough of walking around in circles. I'm not sure if I could have picked anything up since almost everything is a green blob and there is no indication that anything can be interacted with. The player character seems to walk all over the screen yet there are no obvious exits so I probably missed several of those.
I think it might have been a good idea to darken some areas of the backgrounds to show that those areas are exits if you know what I mean, or at least have the mouse cursor somehow indicate when it is over an object or hotspot.
I found this game so frustrating I deleted it after just a couple of minutes of playing :-[
