I played it for a while. I would say that the graphics are the best. I think they have their own style and are mostly pleasant to look at, though the walkcycle is jerky. Additionally, you can see of the pictures that you sometimes used textures and drawed just over them a bit - it doesn't really look good, a bit cheap sometimes. <Don't know how to express me properly>

The plot is, well boring. It's stupid, but not silly, just not funny enough, and otherwise not too serious to grab, you can't take it that way, besides it's very unimaginative, what's the worst about it. His dreamworld is very banal, actually not a dream worth minding about. The best thing was maybe the light tunnel at the beginning. It doesn't seem that you had any interesting ideas and just glued some screens together. The puzzles give me the same impression. Not more than key searching.
Well, I see it more as an test game, as that it must be more worth to you than me, you learned to create a walkcycle and backgrounds, and got some scripting experience. And I think for a first game it's not that bad at all, there are worse.

But it's not really worth playing because the design is very, let's say unspectular. Just walking around through empty screens, nearly no items to take, puzzles to solve or things to look at. That's the thing you should most work on. Better lay out a story first before you start with the next game.
Graphics are okay, but they could get really great! Don''t set too much on the cheap effects of Photoshop, my opinion.

This critic sounds maybe harsh, but don't let you put off. I think you can do much better. I'm awaiting your next game!  ;)

Oh, by the way, you should screenshots post here and the download links. Most people are too lazy / don't want to waste time searching for them.
Robot Porno,   Uh   Uh!

 ;D  Thanks ozzie for played my first game

Yeah I know, my walkcycle is not very good, and I used to much photoshop effect which boosted up my game size...... I Will try my best at the animation, Drawing, story, and scripting in my next project, hope it is better than this one.

Oh, yeah I want to ask u something stupid, how can I post a screenshot in forums ??? I really don't know this one.

Thanks Ozzie, don't get bore for my next silly game........  ;D

EDIT: I was too rough on my C&C;  :-X
I think is a nice game, with some rooms that are too dark. For example: The room you can access through a hole in the wall.

Cheers,
Stefano
Trying to make my first AGS game.

Hm, look here under "insert image".
You can find this help always over the smilies when you write a message.

Edit: Oh I forgot completely about it, the idea of smutting the room where you get the strangeformed key was a nice one, not a bad effect!
Robot Porno,   Uh   Uh!

well I'm embarrassed to say that I dont know how to do everything that is needed to play the game.
I downloaded the 3parts and the combiner and put them all in the same folder but thats as far as I know,the rest is alien to me :-[

themom

I can't say exactly what I did but I tried to open everything until a folder named aswin's dream appeared in the first folder, then I did the English set up in the winsetup & then the agsgame run. I'm using win.rar. Right now I'm stuck.

mags_don

nice little game. but i dont know if this is a bug or just me ;D. anyways, when i went into that room with three doors, i kept picking them ok.couldnf figure it out so i left that are completely.but the thing is when i went to go back in the area where those rooms are, i cant walk any further or back into the room with the three doors..am i missing something?

uswin

Oh Sorry Everyone, yes that is a bug in the game, I really didn't realize that one before.............sorry, for now I have a solution, but I will fix it another day :
Okay Spoiler : The right combination is middle, right, left, middle .
The Bugs will comes out if you go out from the 3 doors puzzle room when you just entered the uncompleted right combination such as :
      middle, go out   or
      middle, right, go out   or
      middle, right, left, go out  or
      any combination, middle, go out  or
      any combination, middle, right, go out or
      any combination, middle, right, left, go out.

The Bugs will not occur if the combination are like this :
      middle, left, right, go out or
      middle, right, right, go out or
      middle, right, left, right, go out or
      middle, right, left, left, go out  or etc

Sorry...really sorry, I will upload the fixed one A.S.A.P

But sorry due to the limited bandwith in my area i have to split the game in 3 pieces, sorry..... :'(

I'm sorry man, but I got to say this: What kind of a presentation is this!? You'd not get anyone to try out your game if you don't make it sound interesting.
The two rules of advertising:
1. Never say that it's not something good you're offering, even if it really IS crap. (I'm not saying that your particular game is)

2. Never apologize for how you've chosen to distribute your product. Like splitting it up, or not having pictures.

In other words: Leave the criticism to others!

Sorry, but I just had to tell you.

By the way, your game looks really good!

uswin

Okey Dokey Bro I will leave all of the opinions to other, I will never say that poor words anymore in the future....thanks ...

dogberry

I would love to try the game but when I asked for help to download it I didnt get any help :'(

I am not very pc literate so I need an explanation in laymans terms if someone would be so kind?

Just go to the site, download all 4 files and extract them into the same folder.  After that there should be an icon that says something like "create Aswins dream"  Run that and it will set the game up for you.  Does this help?

dogberry

Thank you for your help.
I am very embarrassed to say that all I needed to do was read the instructions and give my dying braincells time to absorb the information ::) ::)
