AGSTV : Episode 1 (pilot)

[undergroundling]

Er, I don't think I heard music during the opening credits, now that I think of it.

Actually, speaking of the opening credits, I found that they took a bit too long.  Perhaps being able to click through them faster would be a good idea.  Or, if you want to force people to sit through the whole thing (an understandable wish), at least make them go by a little quicker.  Maybe its just me, but that thing took forever!

Other than that though, GREAT, STELLAR job.

[MrColossal]

yea those are my main problems, it was very slow

the credits took forever and it seemed to stop on one of them and i had to click past it

and the walking to and from the stage was even slower and i wanted to die

also, i take it that it was supposed to be run in 320x200? cause dave's sprites are horrible looking and again, too slow hehe

so for the next one my suggestions would be, just speed it up a little, try to design it a little more, the title screen was a little bland wow me! and maybe try some close ups? or screen shots?

anyways, good luck and good work

Absolutely brilliant!!!

Been waiting for ages for it, but it's worth it. Some funny stuff, but gotta have a bit more humour to it. Animations are good, but the title sequence needs something. You could do a sequence like Late Night for it, where it has the host running around New York (thats where it's set isn't it?) being chased by the Guinea Pig, and have the guinea pig a few feet taller than the host.

Oh, and Alkaline, do you want me to do some new backgrounds, so it's not just the same one being shown the whole time? And if so, what kinds of backgrounds?

Once again... absolutely brilliant!!!

Well, those sprites were drawn for 640 x 400 resolution.  If you play AGTV in low res, they would turn out all pixelatted and funky.  They look better in-game.  Check out the thread in the "In Production" forum to see what they're supposed to look like.

Well, okay, I'm dumb. I had two files, one without the .vox (for testing) and one with, and I sent the one without. Sorry, guys.

Zipped Music .vox

Feel free to hit me or inflict pain or something.

Also, Ultimo, other backgrounds would be cool. Perhaps a set for the band, either on a different bg, or on the same one (made scrolling). Also, maybe the roof of the studio?

[Czar]

Yes, new backgrounds, but wouldnt it be nice to always have the same place, like a cozy one like this. Like a place where you are always welcome.
Maybe you should make a sofa for the host, like in Oprah?
edit: i just put it in 640x480, and i somehow like Joey in low-res.

ALKALINE!!!!

HOW DARE YOU DEPRIVE THE WORLD OF MY BEAUTIFUL MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!



uh.... Okay, so maybe that theme wasn't so beautiful.

[Scummbuddy]

I like how the severed body of the host floats above the desk.  

not much else i can say that hasnt already been said.
very cool job! cant wait till the next

[SLaMgRInDeR]

[Svetac]

Hehehe, great idea, great execution. I loved the stuntman part   Plan to make more of this? Monthly basis perhaps? Or it's gonna be special issue with no timed publishing?

[MrColossal]

i know dave, i played the demo, but maybe i missed it but i didn't see any documentation telling me what res to play it in so i just loaded it without switching

[agsking]

Very good. I give it two thumbs up!  

[TerranRich]

Once I can start a new game in AGS (ERAHH!!) I'll finish that AGS Commercial #1 to go along with the next AGS Shows (whenever they come out)

I have several in mind for other commercials, too.

[Rincewind]

Hey, I downloaded it, watched, and loved it! Great stuff, man - More like this wouldn't be too bad...
But next time you could include screenshots or small trailers from the featured games, just like in real talkshows, when they show clips from some actors/directors latest movie.

Here is the first one to go along with the next AGSTV show, Alkaline.

[Scummbuddy]

HAHA! thats great.  

I didn't know i was supposed to click to move along though, i was sitting there watching, and becoming a little depressed myself actually.

no, but it was really funny

[Necro]

Couldnt you run another AGS game from within it if thier brief commercial was coded in AGS too... just a quick thought.

[SLaMgRInDeR]

 :'( nobody wants my hammy? :'(

[TerranRich]

I was thinking about that. It would either be: AGSTV Part 1 -> RunAGSGame to Commercial -> RunAGSGame to AGSTV Part 2

...or, I could give my source code and sprites and have Alkaline integrate it himself so it's smoother.
