what i am looking for is a program that can let me make a game like police quest. where you move with keyboard and type commands instead of clicking. is this possible?

[Crimson Wizard]

Yes.

Character moving may be programmed in multiple ways, including key controls.

The typing commands functionality is called "text parser", it's one of the built-in features in AGS.
Here's a recent AGS game which uses it, for example:

Thank you Crimson. This makes me happy!

You've got the right software!

Here are some tutorials, if you have not yet discovered them:

All three of those are excellent.

May your game become a reality!

Thank you Barn. I'm like a kid in a candy store! Though I have a problem, I can not download software, say network error?

This link appears to be working:

Click "get latest version" and then "download", that seemed to work just now.

Thank you that work, let the adventure begin!

Hi,

I made some AGS tutorials too. I can say I have the most recent tutorials on youtube regarding AGS game creation. Of course you have the community for further help.

The game that Julia Minamata made is basically the style you are looking for.

Here is the link for a fresh start:
