Layabout

The sprites in the screenshots look inconsistant. Is there a reason for this?
I am Jean-Pierre.

Ubel

That was a very interesting interview. I'd like to hear a little progress report from you, now that you've brought this thread up again anyway. Good to hear you're still working on this. :)

IceMan

Layabout: If you're referring to the 2nd guy in the 2nd screenshot, yeah, that's intentional  :)

Pablo: Yup, the game's going full speed ahead now after an unfortunate but essential snooze.
As for the game's progress...

Part 1: Done
Part 2: Pretty much done
Part 3: Needs fine tuning, otherwise done
Part 4: Gameplay's done, just needs the graphics
Part 5: Short but VERY graphic intensive.  Will take time

After that there's the usual sound FX, voices and the like that need doing.  Also, I'm planning a couple of unbelievably cool cutscenes that you'll have to see twice!  Yes, they're going to set the release date back a bit, but it'll be worth it.

Roll on summer!

IceMan

Like the original, DNG 2 will be set over the period of one day (hence the title, duh!)

So, to prove that it's not all set at night:

That's a brilliant picture! This game looks awesome! Is that Ice Colds kid up there or something?  ;)

I LOVED the original Da New Guys and this one looks evan better! A few questions for you:

It's pretty close to Summer 2006, so is the game near completion? Perhaps a progress report will be good!

Have you started on these incredibly cool cutscenes yet?

Can I be a voice actor in this game if you haven't cast some of the actors that weren't in the 1st game yet? (I have a british accent but I can put on a US accent if you want.

Spoiler
Does Mrs Pencilwood still sound like a man?  ;)
[close]

Will Smiley Joe be back in this game?

And that's about it. Good luck with the game, the demo is brilliant!
Time Kid, coming this summer.

IceMan

Sorry I didn't see your reply, fenton!Ã,  Would've replied sooner if I didÃ,  ;)
Thanks for the support, and to answer your questionss:

1) Yes, that's Ice's son Jimmy (Ice is using him as an excuse to see the puppet show)
2) The game is now very close to the post-production stage.Ã,  By that I mean the game itself is almost done.Ã,  After that comes music, speech, and general tidying up.Ã,  (Now would be a great time for Lucasarts Pamela support, Pumaman!!!!)
3) Yes, the cutscenes are being worked on now, but I'm having to wait for a certain fellow AGS-er to finish some 3d-work *cough* Mozesh! *cough*Ã,  ;)
4) If I get this right, all but Steve and the trainer from the original return in the sequel, and there are about a dozen new characters.Ã,  I'll probably do as many voices as I can (like in the original), but maybe I can find a cameo role for you or something!Ã,  Sorry I can't be less vague, but I'm not thinking about the voices much yet...
5) Yes, she does sound like a man!!Ã,  However, she only has one line (hey, it hurts my throat to do itÃ,  ;D)
6) Yes, SJ is back.Ã,  But rest assured, this is far from the old "villain from the first one seeks revenge in the second" plot...

ETA: September.Ã,  Sorry about pushing it back like this, but the game is undergoing MAJOR polishing, and will be well worth the wait.Ã,  That said, I'm really pushing to get it done before college starts again in October.

Here's hoping, and it's about time we had another sneak:


Mozesh

That looks awesome Ice, and yes I know. I've bought a new PC a little while ago, so no more 20 crashes a day for me. I've just installed my program again and I'll work on it when I get back from work. Something will get done today! ;)

Ubel

September, eh? So soon, yay. \o/

guybrush

Ohhh niice.. Original is one of my favourite AGS games, I loved three playable characters.
Day of the Jackass looks just GREAT! But keep the great gameplay of the original, too!
SPY FUNCTION-- My first game
C O M I N G   S O O N !

IceMan

Well, after over 2 years of work, the game has finally entered post-production!

This is a huge milestone, because now all the actual AGS stuff has been done.  All that's left now is other stuff like the soundtrack, speech pack etc. (while hoping we get some updated support for Pamela lip-synching  ;))

So, this isn't an announcement of imminent release, but the game is on it's way.  The current stats now stand at over 1700 sprites and more than 50 screens.  It'll be a big 'un.

OK! I didn't want it to post cause I was embarased (you may not remeber why) xD
But geeeeeeee I Really want to play this game, I loved the first one, I saw the two endings and played the game twice... Are you going to make all the voices again?

Edit: Wasn't the lamp on the other side of the coach?  ;D

GOOD LUCK
QuoteWell, one think is not liking him, and the other is making humour of the retarder people!

Lamp?Ã,  Coach?

I'll do MOST of the voices this time around.Ã,  I'll probably post a recruitment ad in a week or so for the lead female.

EDIT: Do you guys want a chapter selection screen this time around?Ã,  Did anyone use it in the first game?

Hammerite

only when i accidentally lost all my saves
i used to be indeceisive but now im not so sure!

fentongames

About the lamp and the coach:
He means the lamp in the first screenshot of Da New Guys's room. In the first game, it was on the other side of the COUCH. Not the coach.Ã,  ;)

About the chapter selection screen:
I used it for the alternate ending and just to get to other parts faster.

By the way, if anyone wants to play the second ending straight away without having to play through the whole game:
Spoiler
Press Tab in the main menu and go to Part four.
[close]
I don't know if I'm the first to spot this, but it's here if you need it.Ã,  ;D

About the voices: I want to do a voice (as I said earlier), but I would prefer to just be a minor role. Not a main character.
Time Kid, coming this summer.

IceMan

Oh, THAT lamp!  Blimey, you guys don't miss much, do you?  :)
I just moved it because of the changed perspective.

And thanks: I think I'll put in a chapter screen again.  It's always tricky not to give too much away on it, though!

Ohh well coach, couch.  ;D

About the episode selection screen, I've never used it, and I've played the game twice, but maybe someone else did.
