Sydney Treads the Catwalk

[paolo]

Found a bug. I enjoyed the fashion police conversations, so I tried entering that room several times in a row, and at one point, I'm guessing because they'd run out of conversation, the game ended and I got the error message

in Room 4 script (line 184)

Error: EndCutscene: not in a cutscene

Thanks for fixing this one. I downloaded the game again today, but it has crashed with the opposite error:

in Room 4 script (line 81)

Error: StartCutscene: already in a cutscene

This happened when

the fashion police were talking about being harsh on the bum

(this line seems ripe for innuendo, but the game crashed before I could see if there was any).

 :'( Same as Paolo. The game keeps crashing on me, when I enter the fashion show entrance. Help! I wanna finish the game. I'm loving it especially the characters.
Checked the error message, mine reads:
in Room 4 script (line 81)
Error: Start Cutscene: already in a cutscene

By fixing several minor bugs I created one major one! Dangit!

I've fixed it and sent it to my server dude. Hopefully he'll update it soon. Sorry for the trouble.

[iSTVAN]

A new version without the bug has been uploaded. I hope there are no more problems. Enjoy.

Very fun game! I hope there will be another on in the future!

[Stupot]

Just finished.
Another Sydney classic.
Well done, sir.

[iSTVAN]

Thanks Stupot and CosmoQueen.
Sorry for the delayed response, I have not had access to the internet lately.

I'm also writing to let everyone know that the first four pages of a sixteen page planned Sydney cartoon, Sydney and the ReQuest for Eternal Enlightenment are available on my blog here:

Here's the first page:

I've just checked your site and think it's very cool to say the least.
Go for it, it's clear you have the talent to become a fine cartoon artist.

Good game so far, certainly fun like the first one was. But I have to make a note of a VERY annoying puzzle that had me stuck for a while.

Spoiler

when you give the boxer a cup of water he says that's not enough. I didn't realize I had to do it THREE TIMES. Only reading the walkthrough gave me the answer. Why would I try to do it 3 times??  Normally in an adventure game if something doesn't work it won't work if you do it again,certianly not 3 times. Plus it makes you travel all those times between the gym and the office.

Very bad frustrating puzzle in a very good game.

[iSTVAN]

Thanks Nostradamus. Regarding the puzzle you don't like...

Spoiler

The whole idea is that the boxer WON'T just fight Mel for a glass of water, but by giving him several he will need to go to the bathroom. He gives you a clue to this in his responses, 'It will take more than A glass of water' and 'it will take more than TWO glasses of water.' I wanted to think outside the regular square of 'use item on character.' The puzzle is non-linear, in the sense that you achieve a different outcome than intended.

I can understand why walking back and forth might frustrate. But the puzzle would not have worked as well if you only had to give him one glass, or even two. He gives a unique response after the second glass which should be a clue to repeat.

Now I'm rambling. I just really like the puzzle is all.

Hey, if anyone uses Facebook, I've started a profile for Sydney! Search for him.

[Nostradamus]

well

Spoiler

when he said "I'll need more than a glass of water" I thought he wanted something better, maybe a better drink, not the same thing again

There in lies the humour.

Having just started and finished the game I must say it's again a fun game (although I found the first one having more variation as it had more rooms).. But I finished the game without having to resort to a walkthrough so the puzzles aren't that difficult as I'm not a great adventureplayer hehe..

I can't wait to see/play another one   Keep up the great work..

[robvalue]

Looks great! But I can't download, I get a page not found error

[Fleshstalker]

Same here, error. :

[Leon]

Where would we be without backups... Try it here

[lilac]

Where would we be without backups... Try it here

I downloaded it but it's the version with the fashion show cutscene bug...

[Leon]

Ok, another site then....

Try this site then goto downloads, free games, adventures. (Sorry, I can't copy the link). Sydney should be on the first page at the top. I'm not sure which version this is though...

And if it still doesn't work, I'll see if I can upload it somewhere....

[covox]

Leon: Sadly the g4g edition has the cutscene bug :/

[Leon]

Searching further brought me to this site. This must be a good version.  Hey.... wait a minute... that's my own server...    Good thing I keep my own archive...
