Title: Space Trash (working title) Demo out
Post by: Volcan on Sat 01/06/2013 03:28:35
What's the point with a farmer of 19th century, a boy of 24th century, a witch of 17th century and a girl of 20th century?

They all are abducted by a strange UFO. Then they are all prisonners in the mystery spaceship.

The goal is to discover who he or she abducts people and why?

The game has the main quest to complete by using one of any characters.
Mini-quests can be completed only by one of them.

I also added 10 more rooms and one more character.

I seriously considering remove all idle views. That was funny at first but they became stupid after a while.
It's not my cup of tea.

I might need somebody to take care of my English. My english is not right. Few times, I use Google to write in english.

That's all for now. See you later.

Naa! I'm just a guy who wants to try to put King's Quest, Space Quest and Leisure suit Larry together.

(laugh) The game is going to fail from the start. (laugh)

I worked on Space Trash today.

Here my to do list before I release a demo:

One room left.

Reworking Carl Imdalls' intro. It takes 30 megs alone.

Working on Robin, Anne and Inconcia's intro.

Translating stuff in English.


Here the screenshot of the day:

That would happen when you messed up with Inconcia Abomina (when you're not playing her).

Cool game, try using a different image format for your intro to reduce the size or scale the images down before you put them and scale them back up if it doesn't de-pixelize your images too much, otherwise if you still need it lower pm me, I've learned quite a few tricks about reducing game size as I have a very very crappy connection.

Keep up the good work!
Title: Re: Space Trash (working title)
Post by: Volcan on Sun 29/09/2013 14:43:42
The intro was a Flash animation converted to gif. That's why the game is big.

I'm planning to make an intro standard like the most ags games.

If I need your help, I let you know.


I noted in your profil you can translate but without tell us which language you can translate.

Beleive me or not but ...

I need one more character to finish the ending of the upcoming demo.

I used 768 sprites so far with only 50 rooms.

For 768 sprites, 707 are used for Carl's intro because, the intro is animated.

No wonder why my game is so big.

That's why I need to reworking Carl's intro.

Also I discovered the string limit is 14 characters. It's not mentioned in the system limits.

It was the alien's name with a long long long name.

That's all for now.

Does AGS support AVI or MPG files? You may be able to do the animations that way.

Yes. But the game would be bigger.

Here the Carl's intro if Carl is selected as your main character.

I'm going to rework Carl's intro to make the game smaller.
Title: Re: Space Trash (working title)
Post by: Volcan on Thu 19/12/2013 01:16:52
I removed sprites and views from Carl's intro. Once compiled, the game has 7 megs only vs 30 megs with Carl's intro with sprites.

I'll release the first demo before Christmas.

Now I'm working on english translation.

My English is poor and for most of time, I used Google to translate the game.
