Adventure Game Studio

Definitely going to check this Quest out!  :D

200MB! :O I suppose the audio files take up a lot of space. Must be some quality voice acting.  := Definitely looks great though.

Curious how much has changed....

Could someone upload a sample of both Narrator's so i could decide which one i like better ?

John

Downloading now.  Thanks agentbauer   ;D

@snoopy:

Samples for the narrator are online now :D

Hello Agentbauer!
Nice game, I love it. On my way to HAL, I found out that I cannot restore a game. Message is:

An exception 0xC00000005 occured in ACWIN.exe at EIP=
0x00000000 ; program pointer is +5997, ACI version 2.72.920,
gtags (9,7)

AGS cannot continue, this exception was fatal. Please note down
the numbers above, remember what you were doing at the time
and notify CJ on the Tech forum.

Most versions of Windows allow you to press Ctrl+C now to copy
this entire message to the clipboard for easy reporting.



As far as I remember, I remembered the nice girl from the cave underground :-)

Downloading! Both Narrators are cool!

@sthomannch:

hm thats strange, can you send me the savegame?
But I think that is a general AGS Problem and not a problem of the game.

Thanks for uploading the samples Agentbauer. I like the sound of the AL Narrator better so i am now downloading that version. I also will be curious to find out how much different this version is to that old 1.0 version.

John

Lovely game.  Very professional.  I love the voices and the music.   ;D
I downloaded version with Al as narrator.  

But the game freezes in the screen with the timepods \ space pods.  Roger gets stuck at top of the screen, and won't move.  I can still look, touch etc.  I just can't move.   ???


EDIT
Also, when I installed the game, I got a popup message saying:
'This setup file was created using an unregistered demo version of Smart Install Maker. 
This message will not appear in setip files made with the registered version.'

:)

I also got  when installing the game a popup message saying:
'This setup file was created using an unregistered demo version of Smart Install Maker.
This message will not appear in setup files made with the registered version.'

@Frodo:

That is a very curious thing, some of my testers also told me that, but I'm unable to reproduce it.
From where did you enter the spacepods? From top or from right??

@snoopy and Frodo:

Thats because od the smart install maker demo version I used to create the installer.
It doesn't affect the installation in any way, except the pop up which you can click away!

The Problem should be that you make Roger walk into the screen with a Non-Blocking walk command - if the player accidentally clicks while Rog is walking, he'll stop and get stuck outside the screen (as there is no walkable area).

Thanks for the tip, that was my first thought too, but that wasn't it....
I'll change the walkable areas in this room and try it again, there must be something wrong.

Roger enters that screen at the top, so you can only see his legs.   8)


Nsmn
Roger doesn't even walk on that screen.  As soon as he enters, he gets stuck.

@Frodo.
Does it happen always or only random??
`Cause like the testphase, I can't reproduce that on my pc....

Cool.  8)

Glad that I was able to help some on this game.  :)

It's a strange thing...

If Roger enters from the top (so you can only see his legs), then he gets stuck every time. 
But if you go down one screen, and enter from the side, then it is fine.   ???

@frodo:

hmm, can you pm me your system details and send me a savegame where you are stuck and one for the room before you get stuck to starbuck1308@gmx.de?

I can't reproduce that, as usual...

thanks

Agentbauer 

Sorry for this trouble   :-[

I sent you email with the Saved games, and my system specs.

Let me know if I can do anything else.   :)

Hey Agentbauer....

I was pleased to see that you did release an updated version of this remarkable game of yours. Had I knew about it I would have joined you as Betatester again. Well it seems even without me you guys did a great job.

Here's my little review about bugs things that could have been made better etc.
Warning: this texts consists of spoilers. I don't know how to set em in Spoiler mode. So don't read the text if you don't want to get spoiler.


Bugs: On the Galaxy Galeria I had a walkpath bug on Mononlith burger. Roger was stuck right above the Monolith sign. Due to the fact that I had no savegame I had to restart the game. After that everything worked fine I didn't experienced any bugs anymore. So the Monolith bug appears to be random.

On the Goliath you can search the Janitors cart x2 times resulting that I get the knife twice. I remember that you had that bug also in version1 and I reported that back then. Seems you've completely forgotten about that.

After knocking out the spy Roger still says he wondering what he is doing there. Instead of something like "Oh no I've injured him."

On Estros: Before you get the Flashlight you can't enter the cave. However when I talked to Zondra to ask if she has a flashlight Roger is also telling her that the Security system is active and he barely made it out of there.
To that time Roger can't know about the Security System because he is unable to enter the cave without a Flashlight. That spoiled a bit of the Situation inside the hole and should be fixed should there be ever a version 4.


Cristics: The new voice acting is fantastic and adds very much to the Atmosphere. That makes it x10 times better than before. The great commentator was a bit less used in the later parts of the game that's pitty.

I also really much liked the the few new screens like from (This time it's personal.) However I don't understand why you removed the great bar you had in Version1. Instead you now included the same bar we've seen in Space Quest 6. My opinion the other Bar looked much cooler.

I must say you did of course a huge improvement over version 1. However this game still lacks a lot in humor. That was the most important thing in a Space Quest game. For example you're looking at different people.

And you get the answer like: Some engineers, A tourist, A guest.. I mean such things are obvious even without the need to look at them.

Some Enineers working hard to earn their bred.
Or a tourist exploring the wonders of Galaxy Galleria.

Would have been more friendly and would have also expanded the feeling for the game. I'm also not very good at writing humor especially not in english. But you should still have invested more time in doing so.
Even some more small animations like Mrs. Astro chicken flying by would have make it more funny.

It would have been also better if you could have talked to some of the non important charakters.. For example. The tourist with the camera. You talk to him he tells you about his whereabouts pla pla pla.. Then he wants to take a Photo with you and in that moment a sneaky strange looking alien comes by taking his camera.. The tourist chases now the alien to get his camera back. Things like that for example would have make it more funny. Well enough about humor.

I also noted little minor graphic issues: One thing I remember is in Monolith Burger you're asking for the Manager and he tell you it's his brother you're looking for. It would have been very easy to edit that picture and replace the little manager sign on his chest with something like Employee. That's just a little glitch and not really important but it was strange to see that while the real manager is in the Fly in.

All in all a fantastic game and a worthy Space Quest Title none the less. The voice actors did an excellent job here. In my opinion just the lack of humor and some remaining bugs + too much use of other Space Quest backgrounds are preventing it from beeing a god like game. It is clear that in some areas those backgrounds are required story wise but some changes here and there would have make it better.

@Admin: Please put my post in Spoilermode. I don't know how to do that since there's no reference under additional options.

Update.....

A german translation is now available for SQIV.5  :D

I'm curious to check this game out, but I am wary because of the many bug posts above. Have they been fixed?

Great! I just watched the intro in youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_rjYD1Z9T8

Great job! Nice voices - characters and narrator. It's good to see that Space Quest world is alive!

I tried to fix all of the bugs, but I could not reproduce the stuck bug in the galleria....
So I remade the walkable areas in this room..... I hope, that you now no longer get stuck there...
