AGSTV : Episode 1 (pilot)

[|Alky|]

AG Television - Episode One

Well, it's taken along time, but here it is.
The first, pilot episode contains interviews with the following AGSers (shown with their respective subjects)
Invisible Man(Harvester) - 'IGN:Kill'
Flippy D - 'DROID' + General Spriting
Rosa and Joey - Dave Gilbert's game 'Bestowers'

It also has a sorta guest appearance by Quickstrike, a commercial for Vel's game development corporation and a stupid guy in a suit. Enjoy. ^_^

Oh yeah, you can skip dialog by pressing any key, and the intro screen by pressing escape (but don't, or the hamster guinea pig will get you.) Any suggestions, complaints, or offers for appearances on the show would be very welcome.


EDIT: Also, alot of thanks to Miez, for hosting the piece of shit file.

Before anyone points it out, I know my animation is shoddy, which is bitterly ironic. Oh well, my legacy lives on in a somewhat better animated rodent, which will reside somewhere in the studio.

Fantastic , Just watched it , where can I get a Guinnea Pig like that?

I wanna see more , More , MORE

[Czar]

iiii love it, but (there are always buts ) i dont know why, but the top of the taskbar is visible, but i can live with that, and yeah, i though you could make lyp sync so it would be more realistic, cuz now you just see heads go up and down...
Anyway, i wasnt even taking much attention when you guys where discussing about Ags tv, so i really dont know what that is...

Hurrah! (I made it)

[Barcik]

I liked it a lot.
This is really an excellent contribution to the community, and I would love to see more of these shows. Hell, I'd love to be in one myself.  
Only piece of criticism is that I think you need to add a bit of humour to the interviews. Other than that, it was wonderful.

[DragonRose]

That was really cool, guys!  Three reccomendations:

1) Some way to pause it.  If you have to stop for any reason, it's a bit of a pain to have to watch the first part over again so that you can get to what you stopped at.

2) Grammar, people!  I caught quite a few spelling and punctuation errors.

3) (Must be read in a very whiny tone of voice) I wanna be in the next one!

[Flippy_D]

I told all those grammar mistakes to Alkaline in the beta-testing, and did he correct it? no. So nyah, Alk, I told you someone would pick up on them  

I should stop replying to this thread.

[Czar]

Oh, and i forgot to add, that clapping scared the sh*t out of me...

[Dave Gilbert]

OMG!  You killed Quickstrike!  You bastard!

Heya Alky.  Nice to see this out.  I kinda wanted Joey to appear from off-screen so he's a surprise, but that's okay.  

A word about the whole "beach" conversation at the end of the Rosa & Joey segment.  In my RON game "Purity of the Surf," Joey had a small cameo in a beach scene.   And I remembered, way back when, Alky mentioned that the AGTV studio was in RON.  I was trying to make a clever connection between the two, but apparently the studio isn't in RON anymore.  Oh well!

I do agree that there needs to be some humor in the interviews.  Also, that music got a little monotonous after awhile.  Still, it's just a pilot episode so I'm sure the next one will be better.  Nice work!  :-)

[Raggit]

Good job Alkaline!!!

I liked it, although I don't really understand the hampster thing.


And also, my name is in the credits for musician, but none of my actual music is in the game.

I can't take credit for somebody else's work!  So whoever did the music should have his name in their, it isn't right for mine to be there.

[auhsor]

Heh, pretty cool. Basically what everyone else said should be fixed... oh and i liked it how the presenter's jacket swapped sides everytime he turned... nice touch.

[Miez]

Er - whoops - that's what you get for hiring cheap serverspace. Mine seems to be down at the moment, keeping all of you hungry young readers from the goodies. No AGSTV, no FoY forum. The situation will be magically remedied in a few minutes/hours/days. As soon as they recapture the monkeys and put them back in the treadmill. Or something...

Just keep trying.

[TerranRich]

Heh, that's awesome! ... Mind if I make an AGS commercial to go along with it?

EDIT:

D'oh! There already are commercials...that's what I get for commenting before I'm finished watching it...

Damn Now my idea is ruined!

[Mikko]

I sincerly hope more of these to come! Great work!

[Hobbes]

I second everything said here. This was GREAT to watch!

Where do I sign up for the next one?

[|Alky|]

Thanks alot people.

Raggit: Are you sure? I put it as the main, intro tune, for the second, credits screen, and it sounds great...

TerranRICH: Well, yeah, there's one already, but I need some for the next episode, so if you wanna make on that would be cool.

Everyone else: I have another one or two spaces for the next one, and it would be extremely cool if I could fill them... It's totally up to the interviewee how they want to do the interview, and about which subject - Conversations could be done directly, with the author, or the characters from the game, and either I could interview you in IRC or a messeging program, or you could write your own segments. Just post or message me with your name or game

Also, sorry 'bout the RON mix-up, Dave, I was planning to move the studio later or something.

[Raggit]

Are you talking about the MP3 I sent you???

All I heard was some MIDI music.  

[TerranRich]

Cool, Pres, working on it right now

[Raggit]

Ah, I figured it out.  

I wasn't hearing any music in the intro so I copied the song file into AGTV's folder and it played.  

Does anybody else hear music during the opening credits?
