Title: It's been a long time
Post by: Captain Mostly (returned) on Mon 16/02/2009 08:59:00
But I've recently decided to try and come back to AGS. I'm a working man now so wont have as much time as I used to. But none the less, if I don't TRY and get back in the game-making sadle, I'll never succeed.

Anyway, I thought I'd post here on the general forum to see if anyone's about that I remember from a few years ago when I was hanging around last time! :D

Also - I noticed that you can't download Vegetable Patch Extreem Turbo from anywhere more! What a crime!

I actually tried to download Vegetable Patch Extreem Turbo some time ago and was sad that I could not do so. Please upload it!

I wasn't around when Captain Mostly sailed in the Goodship AGS last, but welcome back anyway :D. I remember playing a game made by you when I was first getting into AGS and being completely confused, which was great!

So, are you going to do Richard Longhurst II or something?

If he does, I'll sue. RLBAT, Captain Mulchy Drinks Bleach, and The Broken Brain are my personal unholy trinity of AGS foulness. Unfortunately, all my attempts to have them expunged from the DB have so far failed.

It's very nice to be welcomed back! Especially since my game is on a hate list (although presumably you quite like the VPETs? Thankyou Exceedingly for hosting them :D)

I don't understand the re-setting the timer thing :S

Anyway, no plans for a new Richard Longhurst game. And if I did make one, I'd make it much better than the first one.

Actually, I did at one point get Phil to agree to let me do an RichardLonghurst/LarryVales crossover game. Alas, I never finished the game. It would've been a bit weird though.  Never mind.

IT HAS BEEN 0000 DAYS
SINCE AN AGSER OF OLD RETURNED (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=36607.msg480360#msg480360)

These days we're barely making double digits anymore.

Also, I liked the Vegetable Patch games, so welcome back.  :=

This ship has been sailing aimlessly for years... We've needed a good captain for a long time now.

I guess you'll do.

Welcome back.

Maybe one day you'll actually attend mittens.

We are one team member away from the return of all the team members of The Vestibule. You know who you are... (shifty eyes)

I vaguely remember your scraggily, barnacle encrusted beard. Welcome back, mate!

Welcome back. One question though. You still have your old account on these forums.  You were last active in 2007. Did ya lose your password or something?  ;)

I must tell that rescueing your former avatar might help to remember you better, Capt. I also remember you vaguely, but I wouldn't tell why... Was it an old man (a castaway?) in a rocking chair?

Didn't Flippy_D have something like that? Or Trippy or something. I don't remember.

It's a good-natured hate, really, rather than a burn-your-farmhouse-down-in-the-middle-of-the-night-and-poison-your-livestock-while-salting-the-very-earth-itself kind of hate.

Hosting thanks must be directed at the Fuzzpilz, for the Bicycle for Slugs server lies within his mist-enshrouded kingdom.

I just unearthed them. But you're welcome, anyway. :)

I do quite like VPET, it has to be said.

Hi Mostly!

So how about that game we both forgot we were making!
Title: Re: It's been a long time
Post by: Captain Mostly (returned) on Wed 18/02/2009 09:59:56
I have forgotten my password. And 2007 you say? I don't remember coming back then - but I guess I might've...

Also - what game pesty?

thankyou Fuzzpilz! You're very kind :)

So - what awesome stuff's been going on since last time I was here? Does everyone look at the zeropunctuation reviews and say "I remember that guy!"?

Is m0ds still about making everyone's game music?

what's the biggest name game to come out on here since 2005 (or, aparently, 2007)
Title: Re: It's been a long time
Post by: Andail on Wed 18/02/2009 10:09:30
So many cool things have happened.
Both Run Hot and What Time Is It have been released, RON has finally caught on and is now widely popular, Yahtzee's returned and is now a regular visitor of the forums, Helm has come out of the closet, Kickme is a moderator and CJ has won a dart competition.
Just to mention some.
Title: Re: It's been a long time

Oh, true, thanks Haddas and LF.

I seem to remember you posting in some "what did you get for christmas?" thread; we regularly celebrate Yahtzee's reviews because they keep him too occupied to make more games; M0ds is still making most games' music, but recently, he even tried to make a game himself; and the biggest name game to come out since '07 has to be this (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=879).  :=
Title: Re: It's been a long time
Post by: Captain Mostly (returned) on Wed 18/02/2009 12:58:37
Run Hot is out!?!? No WAAAAY!!! Is it totally ace!!! I hope so! Man, I couldn't wait to play that!!!

Also - Helm came out of the closet? No WAAAAY! Good for him (unless this is a cunning ruse to spread gossip)

No more Yahtzee games though? *SAD FACE* I was pretty rough on him back when he left first time roud, but the gentleman-thief game was brilliant. Everyone in my office watches his reviews fanatically - very impressive!

You can use the password retrieval (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?action=reminder) thing to... retrieve your password on your old account. If you can't access the email account on file send me a PM and I can probably get it changed.

Speaking of which, I liked the RLBAT. I'd probably like the Vestibule, if it was finished.

When did Yahtzee returned?
Title: Re: It's been a long time
Post by: Gilbert on Fri 20/02/2009 09:12:48
Just before Run Hot was released. Maybe your act of killing a sparrow in ancient time caused an effect that you don't notice the other things happening.

Anyway, welcome back captain, and this is your RL fanart. :=

Hello Captain Mostly,

At the time you disappeared I didn't even get the reference in your name, little versed in the world of Gabriel Knight as I was. I'm pleased that your fortuitous return has given me the opportunity to appreciate it fully.

In conclusion, welcome back!
