Title: Pester Quest 2??
Post by: Estaog on Sat 12/03/2005 09:00:37
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in this project. The game could feature more members of the ags forums, and have more rooms. I am willing to work on it if anyone else could help me with the art or something. I already have some funny ideas the would be great in this sort of game.

Stop changing projects, what happened to the one with the green room in the crits lounge?

I've got a great idea for the main character!

Seriously man, stick to one project.

If you are talking about this:
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=19671.0
I never said i was going to make a game, i said i was looking forward to making one.

Oh and do i need some sort of permission to make a sequel?

Edit: The green room was just for practice.

Tanker, I have faith that - should you put your mind to it - you could make a perfectly good game. There is no doubt about it. But it seems like every thread is about a new idea, or a different style, and if people are going to sign up to a team, they want to be confident that it won't fall apart the minute they hit a bump in the road.

Stick to a style, practice it for a bit, create characters, put them into a plot and then whack in a few puzzles. Then ask for help putting it all together.

Don't know if you realize, but a large portion of the stable ags community is involved with the ATC. At this point, I doubt any of them would be willing to commit to 2 projects at once.

But at any rate, good luck getting done what you want done.

what about the monkey island fangame? Dude, scummy made a good game about that topic because he has been on AGS a loong time, knows everyone in the game very well (through mittens and such) and knows what they are like. you could probably make a pester quest 2, but the personal knowledge wouldn't be there.

I was talking about this, i assumed you were trying to establish a style to use for a game.

I dont need to know them personaly to make a game including them. If i know what they look like and know how they act, i could pretty much do it. I could make the game alone scince the ATC is open, but i would need some sort of description of you guys that want to be in the game (and if possible, a picture). If you cant help me with the games art, at least help me with this.

I think some people might feel insulted if you just include them in your game and make jokes about them. Don't do this unless you know someone personally!

Oh, and is it really THAT difficult to come up with your own ideas?
Title: Re: Pester Quest 2??
Post by: Estaog on Sat 12/03/2005 12:02:58
No, i just like the idea of making a game starring the people of this forum. I doesnt have to be Pester Quest, i guess i just used the name to give people an idea.

Post by: Sam. on Sat 12/03/2005 14:23:18
what about the monkey island fangme? you told me specifically that this projet would not be dropped for another one.

Even if you are working on two projects at once, i dobt that they would be the same quality as if you just did one game. the more stuff you have on the go, the more your work will suffer. i encourage you to make a game, but don't take on too many projects, keep it small and work really hard on the one thing.  If you do end up doing a "pester quest" type thing, feel free to include me.

Post by: Estaog on Sat 12/03/2005 15:03:36
I am not dropping the monkey island fan game, its on hold (like i said before). If you want to be in the game, could you give me a description of your personality (like how you act, if you get angry a lot ecc) and if possible a picture of yourself (give me an explenation of how you look if you dont have a picture).

Edit: A little off topic question, but how did they rip those backgrounds from "The Simpsons"? (The ones from the template ,that is).
Title: Re: Pester Quest 2??
Post by: Sam. on Sat 12/03/2005 15:46:34
I THINK that they drew them themselves, or ripped them fromÃ,  the Simpson's cartoon editor. Um, do you mind if I wait until I'm sure you're going to go through with this game until I hand over my personal details, I'm not worried about your integrity but I just don't want to commit myself to anything right now.
Title: Re: Pester Quest 2??
Post by: Estaog on Sat 12/03/2005 16:14:14
Ok thats reasonable. I will make it if i get enough people to be in it.

Edit: I cant believe no one is interested in this!

Because you're 14 years old? Because you haven't shown us that you're capable of producing a game of your own? Because every time you start a thread, it's about a new project you've recently begun on (while cancelling your previous), and most of the times it involves ripping backgrounds from various sources?

Just some suggestions.

He has completed a game. I am patiently awaiting his next.

What does it matter if im 14? And like Haddas said, i have completed a game! Has "Quest for cinema"  already been lost in oblivion?

Haddas, are you interested in giving me your details? Pm if you are.

It wouldn't matter if you didn't act you age, if not several years below it.
Title: Re: Pester Quest 2??
Post by: Andail on Sun 13/03/2005 13:01:19
Ok, sorry about the game, I wasn't aware of Cinema Quest. My apologies to you, whoever else was involved in the process of said game and all those who patiently, or impatiently, await its sequel.

The age matters because this forum has an age-limit.

It doesn't matter that much, since nobody really cares about that limit, and I don't know why I do it, it's probably I who am too old anyway.

Good luck with this game project, as well as any potential simpson game to which you're already considering ripping graphics to.

Post by: Ubel on Sun 13/03/2005 13:09:44
I like the idea of seeing myself in a game. But I wouldn't really leave the whole thing in your hands. No offence, but I have played Quest for Cinema and if the "Pester Quest 2" would be same quality as it I really don't want to be part of it. Sorry if I hurt your feelings or something but thats just how I feel.
Though, if there was a team of experiensed agsers doing this game (like there was for Pester Quest) then I could think about joining it.
Title: Re: Pester Quest 2??
Post by: Estaog on Sun 13/03/2005 13:37:29
Well the game surely will be better than my older game, but nobody seems to have the time to help me with it. Anyways, if somebody wants to be in the game just pm me. And who said i was making a simpsons game? It was just a question.

Welllll, I wouldn't necessarily say there was a "team" working on that game. tamper made a bg, and I fiddled with it without his knowing, since I believe he has dissapeared. Petteri made some character art for Mittens, including myself, and I returned the favor by animating him into the game and giving him a comedic role, something we're not at all used to from him.  ;)

I was going to have at least every Mitteneer from USAMittens, but the bar became extremly crowded.

And the idea of Pester Quest 2... Hmm.. I hadn't really thought of it myself. Although I was thinking of adding some things to it when Czar returns with updated backgrounds for the project. But I'm not bothering him everyday about art, like I do netmonkey.

Also, I would ask you not to title it Pester Quest unless I was involved. You sure can have a game that features memebers of the community, but I agree that you may want to ask them if they may be featured.

Oh hey guys sorry I didn't post in a long time i was just having my computer upgraded (woot). I sent a pm to all the people who posted in this thread (or at least i think i did) and most of them gave a positive reaction. I'm not naming the game Pester Quest 2, it was just to give you an idea of what the game would be like.

Oh and jetxl, i too have long hair!

well, when you say stuff like that, it sounds like you are stating that you have things in common, where, in fact, it is only you that has long hair.

i suppose if you just said, "i love having long hair too" it would have been fine.  ugg im not flaming you or anything, just trying to help with a bit of english.
Title: Re: Pester Quest 2??
Post by: Estaog on Fri 18/03/2005 18:15:17
But "i love having long hair too" does not mean that I have long hair, it just means i like it, which isn't what i am trying to say.

Ok back to the game. I think what we should do is that everybody creates the character of themselves (it doesn't have to be animated, just the front, back and side view), and then I create the game. The reason for this is that I don't know how you guys look. I know I am going to get a lot of "make a game for yourself!" and stuff, but this is the only way I can think of in which I can include you guys in it. Please don't post them here, as it would spoil them in the game. Just pm me with them.

Thanks.

I dont see a problem with having the same avatar.

Post by: Chicky on Sat 19/03/2005 10:07:39
I do, when you first changed your avatar to the alien guy i kept thinking you were Bluke. Now i just think that Bluke's you. Avatars indentify people, that's why people try not to have the same ones.
Title: Re: Pester Quest 2??
Post by: dasjoe on Sat 19/03/2005 11:15:13
i think it's kinda confusing when an avatar is used by more than one person.

i certainly wouldn't like anybody to steal my avatar. but it's branded, i guess no one would like to use it  ;)
