I posted in the old forums - didn't realise the forums had moved. Well, just incase no one knows, demo of Perils of Poom = HERE (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ev.cool/poom_dem.zip)

And yeah, I now know you can save/load with F5 and F7 despite what the read-me says.
I`ve already found it in the old forum and I like it very much... really cool.
But I am stuck in the room with boxes and the cola-machine... I`ve found a coin in the machine, but what can I do with it? I`ve used it on the vent, in the cola-automat, nothing happens...
You're supposed to use the coin on the vent cover and you find a key inside. Use that on the cola machine panel.
When you've got an inventory item, you use it with the right button and deselect it with the left.
But I have tried that before... I can`t use the coin on the vent.... :O(
Really? Hmm.. I don't think anyone else had that problem. Sorry, don't know what to tell you.
Oops, just one moment... I think I see the problem... I haven`t read your posting before so exactly... I didn`t know about using the right mouse button.... Thanks for the info, I`ll check it out.
Cool game, liked it quite a bit, not too hard. Would download the full game for sure..
I am also looking forward for the full game...
Good work! :O)
I'm stuck, all I have in my inventory is a zyme vial what do i do with it?
looks a wee bit rob blancish...
I'll download it when I get back from work.
If this is your first game dude, which I assume it is, as I haven't seen you around. Then you are going to go far. Your game has good graphics, and even better playablity. And I love a game that includes animations.
How do you get a ship in the game?
Yeah, this is my first game. And thanks any comments anyone's made. I like feedback.
Well, I just uploaded a walkthrough for the demo. If there's any grammar/spelling/punctation errors then feel free to complain and send me threating e-mails. Actually... don't do that.

M, just so you know, I got your email and i'll work on your music tonight.
:)

You dirty thief!!! You stole 'zyme' from Deus Ex!!! :p
Ok, cheers. And yeah, zyme is 'borrowed' from Deus Ex. If it causes much mental-take down to people, I'll change it.
SPOILER ALERT!
Okay, here's the problem I found with the demo. I never went to see the hackers. I set the bin on fire and got into the ship, and then needed a password. Cos I didn't know where to get one, I decided to go back and see the guys on the streets (Bastard), and then magically the ship turned up and I completed the demo. That's a bug, I presume?
:)
m0ds
Yeah, its a bug. I know about it. Its been fixed for the full game. It was a really stupid error on my part, when you find out about the hackers, a global variable changes. I initially made it change to the wrong number.
M, how did you make the cursor like that in the game?
sweet game.
seriously.
i licked it.
Some people set themselves up for the worst kind of puns...

Like what exactly? You mean right click = use, etc.?
Yeah
Try this from the old technical forum..
Before I knew what the hell I was doing (http://pub6.ezboard.com/fdosuserforumsadventuregamestudio.showMessage?topicID=4676.topic)
Everytime I try the script, I get error, nested not supported.
Don't know what to tell you. Maybe you've got a bracket open somewhere. That's usually why that error comes up.
Woah, I just tryed it for a little bit, and I'm really impressed....
Uh, M, I got the game to look when left click and use when right click, but using the inventory items doesn't work. Can you tell me how to code it?
I really enjoyed this demo....
Just a question... when are u going to release the full game? :)
Yes, I loved this demo too.....Unfortunately, I haven't seen the creator of this game around for awhile...
Just finished this demo, and It was really good! The animations are smooth, and there is an atmosphere in the game that I really like.
Finish this game as soon as possible!
i just cant download a game without knowing what its about,.,.
Yeah.. M's here. Just took a long long break from AGS for a while. That's not to say I'm officially back yet, though. Nice to see people still check out my game.
Will the finished Perils of Poom ever see the light of day? I'll go with - possibly. If not, I'll just release the stuff I've done so far (another 1 and a half planets worth) if it comes to that. Getting back into development means relearning all the ags coding and such but nah, i'll give it go if enough people care.
-M-
==EDIT==
Just played thru what I've done so far. Hadn't done so in a while, some of it made me laugh. Dammit, this game WILL be finished. I've got to release at least one completed AGS game anyway!!
Hey M, you're gonna finish it! ;D I played the demo months ago and been waiting full game. I'm sure it's gonna kick ass!
Its funny, but this is a game I would put on my top five list for games I wanna play...
Please finish it man. This is quality stuff...
I definitely will. I'm up to 53 rooms so far and that makes about half way through the story I planned out. I'm gagging to show you guys the stuff I've done so far but I'll wait until its finished. Was up to 3:00 working on it last night. Progress was quick. This WILL be finished.
Yeah, I'm kinda bored so thought I'd upload a cutscene that takes place shortly after the Perils of Poom demo ends.
DOWNLOAD RIGHT HERE (http://www.geocities.com/uninvitedm/poomtrailer.zip)
The game will be released around the end of December, not sure how late, though. Props to m0ds on music. Still got to do some music/sound effex coding.
Er.. have a screenshot.

Dang. i'll try to sort that. For now, if you do 'save target as' instead of just clicking the link it works for me. Dunno why. Geocities?
lol, that is the greatest introduction ever! I like your drawing stlye and you humor is something to look forward to in this game. I hope you finish this game, Or I will just watch the intro over and over.
Pretty funny!
looking forward to the game!
I've been waiting for this game for like what ? A year or so?
Your killing me man, I love this game, and I'll be checking this little download out....
Ooh! Gotta download this cutscene one as fast as I get home. I've been waiting this like hell over a year now :P
Thanks for the comments. They just increase my motivation to finish the game. Don't worry, it'll be out before the end of the year. Thanks again guys, its nice to know people care. ;D
Oh man, that was piss funny. Definately going to download this game. ;D
/me gets REALLY excited.
Woohoo, that cutscene was so cool! I heard that background music in m0ds' old midipack and I got all excited when it started playing :P Great animation too! Can't wait for the full game! ;D
i LOVE the graphics and animations (played the demo some time ago)
I'm REALLY Looking forward to see it finished...
;D Glad everyone likes it... now I'm scared everyone's gonna be disappointed!
