1st person view like myst?

[Gokudo]

Hello everybody,

Could you tell me if it is possible to make a 1st person view game with AGS?
It'll spare me quite much time (cause I won't have to animate the hero - character and I won't have to make the background "walkable", lol)
I hope you can answer me and guide me to a special tutorial or anything else that could be of some help.
This game will be part of a work that has to be done in 13 weeks...

It sure is.

You just import a lot of rooms and then connect them. It is a lot of work, but there's no other way, I guess.

Heh. Don't forget to remove the player character

Yeah, there would be some additional scripting required in order to achieve such a goal. After all your game could be considered a platform thing, since you don't use the standard adventure view.
But the scripting would be basic. You would probably have to change some cursor modes...

You might find it useful to add to your onmouseclick script, that if the click was within a special region (let's say it was on somewhere on the upper screen edge), then the click is considered as a "forward" motion, and the player goes to the room with the number given in a proberty of your current room.
That would make the linking a lot easier.

If this doesn't make sense to you, ask again and I'll explain myself better...

Thanks a lot for replying so fast!!!

I'm the most unexperienced newbie around here ans I have a 1st person game in mind that should have actions just like in Monkey Island...
I first thought abour adventure maker as an engine but it seems that ther's no possibilities to add an action panel just like in "MIsland"...
So I was seeking for a simple engine ( no or very few scripting) to do it...

I don't  know if i seem very clear about it...
Whatever...I just want to know if it is possible to make a 5 room game without much animation in 8 weeks maximum with AGS...
I need to finish it this fast cause it is for a school project...

Thans a lot (in advance)
