Apprentice II: The Knight's Move

That's the second biggest linguistic-oriantated essay I've ever seen!

Yeah, for background story I have a general idea (no written out lineages or anything) but I mostly make it up as we go along. Every time I make a reference to the past, I keep track of it (ex. Uncle Grimstone, Duraflex twine) to keep things consistent.

We derived Navy Joe from the word "Navajo" (Valley speak pronounciation

) when we were trying to come up with a "look at" description" for the rug in Pib's room. That gave us the idea of a wandering peddler type character, who played a decent-sized role in The Knight's Move.

In the third game, I'm planning to have a part where Pib visits the ruins of Grimstone's laboratory. But I digress.

Ok, I finally wrote out the post to discuss these thoughts:

You are welcome to discuss if you have anything to add to what you said here. Thanks for sharing your "method"

Just had to add my own two cents. I only managed to download this game recently (modem connection *sniff*) but wow, am I glad I did ^_^ What a complete... game. The graphics (and especially the animation!) were gorgeous and had a great style. The music was beautiful, the story was cool and kept you wanting to play as opposed to some games which leave you wondering why you should be trying to do anything at all. It wasn't too hard (well, I got stuck in a couple of areas and it was REALLY frustrating but I can't necessarily blame that on the game).

What impressed me was that you didn't scrimp on the animations and cut scenes. Everytime I thought I'd seen pretty much everything the game had to offer, some cool, different cutscene'd pop up. Fantastic job ^_^ I can't really emphasise it enough. I expect to see awards on this thing come next year.

I just have to tell you guys that I get chills down (and up) my spine!

The graphics has a very developed style, totally magnificent.
The music is the best adventuregame-music I have ever heard!
You should put out the soundtrack by itself also.

Great puzzles I loved them.

Something that would be awesome would be speech if possible, then you probably would get tired of me pestering you with fan-posts

There seems to be a bug in the Load GUI, the down arrow doesn't work.

Synthetique · Sun 07/11/2004 23:19:54

Major bug found! I think..
I used the gear on the oven hole before the rats were in there. And now they skip that hole when I use the stovepipes.
Is this a bug or am I stupid?

No, it's not a bug, as it's part of the bakery puzzle. So, I guess this means that you're just stup- stupendously misguided. Yes. That's right.

Gregjazz · Mon 08/11/2004 00:50:01

Woohoo that's my fav puzzle! Glad to hear there's no bug!

I have finally gotten time to finish this.

It is one of the best AGS games and deserves the awards it got. The graphics are simply oustanding. The music is awesome. I do feel your puzzles are bit unlogical (at least for me

) and story a bit like Monkey Island in you have three trials and want to become a pirate/wizard. Though it was originally executed and still one of the games made in AGS. Well done brothers.

i'd like to ask how do i get to the bonus puzzle for this... thanks =]

Little hint: There is an item you can't pick up until a certain part of the game.

Gah!

Apprentice 2 works fine on the Mac AGS player but it crashes right near the end when giving the silver to Master.

Does anyone have screen caps or a description of the end of the game from that point on?

big brother · Thu 01/06/2006 15:49:57

Eeesh.... There's a lot of dialogue, music, and a bit of animation at the end. Perhaps a video could be made? Perhaps Gregor could have a video made?

Can you run Linux on a Mac? I think there's a version of Apprentice that works under Linux.

seaduck · Fri 02/06/2006 06:52:12

You could also use a PC emulator, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_virtual_machines.
but you also need an OS to run in it (say, Windows 95 or Linux)

JohnGreenArt · Fri 02/06/2006 19:05:15

I tried using VirtualPC but the save games won't work since I had been playing with the Mac interpreter. I tried starting from the beginning but it runs incredibly slow on VirtualPC.

Oh well, maybe some day I'll see how it ends...

Yeah.... a video of me beating Apprentice!!

I'd better not get stuck anywhere, that'd look bad.

I think this could be done, actually.

This game is so awesome

It was featured in a danish TV-Show today

Gregjazz · Mon 30/03/2009 23:35:39

What, really? Which TV show? Any video clips available?
