due to the size of this project i have decided to release the game in module format. when you complete a module you will get a release code for the next module. All modules must be completed in sequence. The first module `The Great Mongo Desert` is well underway and should be ready for release within the next month.

The "r6.pcx" one did work. It's a fairly large file for a background (250 kbs+).

Look here, featuring 140 rooms in your first project is just not gonna happen, so I suggest you follow people's advice here and make a neat little test-project first.

That would also give you the opportunity to improve your backgound making skills. Frankly speaking, the backgrounds you have made seem pretty hastily concieved at the moment.

I don't want to be discouraging, but you need to be realistic on this one.


PS:
For the ones who can't download the intro movie, it's a series of photographs with bits of text moving over in different manners.
I would recommend having these photographs (granted that you give proper credits) on a web-page, with text captions under or beside. That way, people can take part of it much easier.

Well considering the amount of work put into these backgrounds I don't think 140 rooms sounds that impossible. I mean look at http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/r6.pcx. It was probably done in about 3 minutes. 140*3=420 minutes = 7 hours.

zordork

i would like to point out to Andail that if you had read my previous posts, you would of noticed that the number of rooms is the complete game, which is going to be in chapters, not as one entire adventure, the first chapter is nearing completion and contains 14  rooms. you need to complete eache chapter (or mini game) to complete the entire game.

i liked the idea about puting screenshoots of the intro on my website, i will do this as soon as my new isp is up and running (friday 30th june)

other coments i have had about the quility of graphics.... i would like to point out that in my veiw and many other peoples..... game play and story is far more important, than the graphics, some of the best ever adventure games ever written contained no graphics what so ever.

Andail and others... You are all very respected members of this community. But please lets not discourage anyone here. If someone wants to attempt to make a project that is this big, let them. There have been lots of AGSers who as their first project had created a big game for the public. So this might come through as well.

Lets have faith and offer an encouraging point of view. Possibly even offer help if possible.

Keep it up Zordok! I always like flash Gordon!

I like the style, but you could at least anti-alias the edges of the drawn part in with the sky. ;)

Anyways, when you finish the whole project, you can always go back and 'remake' the first ones.  I can see your BGs have the potential to be as high quality as some others, but perhaps it would be best to focus on your story-telling for the time being.  In time the art will come.  I have seen my art improve as my confidence has grown, and my eagerness to produce good art.  Its like the piano, everyone can learn to play.  Some will always be better than others, but everyone can get better.
