Earl Mansin: The Breakout.

No, HillBilly is right!

I like things to be simple and kinda relaistic. If you actually do try to walk of a cliff you are going to die. Why should the computer tell you "Don't do that! You'll die. Nay I won't allow you to do that!"

At least it will help avoid the unecessary clicking everywhere.

I say go for it.

And I also have to say that I love the way this game looks. Very well done and a lot of attnention to every detail.

Goody goody, another cool game for 2006 (?)

No that's the cannibalism cursor.

As long as it's funny...

Is Leisure Suit Larry Doom 4? Or Secret of Monkey Island? Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis? Maniac Mansion? IS ANY OF THOSE GAMES DOOM 4 VICT0R??

Dont get all worked up now. I wasnt being too serious $:-\$ And you cant die in secret of monkey island

Havent played any of those others tho.

My point is that dying in an adventure game is really unnesseary. Seen as in most adventure games, the main character has a mind of his own, and why would he walk off a cliff if he can decide to not put his hand in a fireplace?

Yea, you can... In the underwater scene when you're pushed into the water by the sheriff, you can die after 10 minutes

Neither was I.

Uh, yeah, you can. Try staying underwater for more than 10 minutes.

Your role as an adventurer(atleast in this game), is to GUIDE the main character. If you're a bad guide, your character will die. I'm using this to prevent people from running the "use-everything-with-everything-and-everyone-no-matter-if-it-makes-sense-or-not" strategy too much. The cliff was just an example. If you've ever played Broken Sword 1 & 2, that's the direction I'm going for. It's not smart to just walk in to a room with alot of potential dangerous and armed people, for example. But I'm still giving you the option, even if it'll kill you.

CosmoQueen · Sat 18/02/2006 23:30:57

Woah those graphics look wicked!!! I can't wait to play it!!

HillBilly · Fri 10/03/2006 20:38:54

I'm not sure when I'll release it after all. Stuff came up, and I've been losing and gaining interest back and forth.

It will be finished, though. Soon, hopefully.

what do you do with the antialiasing?

sorry if this was asked before and sorry my english is poor...

Barbarian · Thu 16/03/2006 20:22:06

Still looking fantastic HB.Ã,Â
I like the new screenie.
Don't forget, if you soon need any help with any more bug-huntin' or scripting, just give me a hollar.
Keep at it, Earl MUST break-out! *Crackz whip*Ã,Â

If you ask how I anti-alias, I just export the images as smooth PNG's from Flash.

In addition, I'll be working as much as I can this easter. Everything except two rooms have been programmed, so then it's just the voices, music, cutscenes and fine-polishing left. Since both the voice acting and music is covered by someone else, I only have the cutscenes and programming to worry about. I won't predict a date of release, but again, I hope I get this project done sometime before summer.

Meanwhile, chew on this:

no hillbilly, i've no ask that... i asked how you put the antialias in the AGS?? (and i do everything with flash too

)

see this:

1.- image exported from flash as smooth
2.- imagen in AGS
3.- character in game
4.- character in game

now you understand me?

------------EDIT-----------

sorry, i just search and i solve my question... using 32-bits palette!
P.D: it would be a good game!
P.D2: my english sucks

Hammerite · Fri 14/04/2006 12:30:09

can you export walkcycles and stuff from Flash then?

ildu · Fri 14/04/2006 14:42:45

As images, yes. Create the walkcycle, delete the other frames than the one you want to export, and then export it as an image.
