Post by: Dr Fred Rubacant Edison on Fri 17/11/2006 00:01:22
What new Gui Verb Commands would you Add to Maniac Mansion?


Need Ideas??!?!?

New GUI Verbs:

New Room Types: 

New Characters who lives in the mansion:

New ways to die:

Anthing that has to do with interaction in the game:

New character Skills:


My girl friend did give me a good idea. A new verb Help. Like if your playing as Dave and you use it
Help  Syd  Push  Table. Or Help  jeff  Open  Grate.  Or Help Syd  Pull  Rope.  This will add some team work to the game
What do you think???

Fishing for ideas huh?

The "help" function seems rather complex, especially at your level. (No offence but you seem to be a "starter" to me)

I'd keep things simple if I was you.

I also think you should stick to just having three characters, rather than having a choice. Even 3 might be hard, nobody should make a 3 character game, for their first ever game.

(Presuming this is your first game)

If you want verbs, check out this thread (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=27206.0).

More teamwork is good. The mansion is pretty big already, so I'm not sure what else would fit in there unless you're talking about luxuries like a sauna or tennis court (hint: read a FAQ for The Sims for more ideas). Maybe your best bet is to take the concept (of cooperation and humor and such) and take it to another setting. Maniac Forest, maybe?
