This game reminded ome of the desktop room in RLBAT though, but of course META is much more complicated.

META is a nightmare, a waking dream not meant for the living.

Don't download it, don't play it. Keep your Sanity Points intact. Protect your children.

Does changing the resoloution affect Awsmoe Quest in any way?

Maybe. You figure it out :)

And why can't I alter the walkable areas in Room 2? Probably because it would be ridiculously difficult to script, but that would be an awsome (no pun intended) soloution to the "puzzle".

Yes, that's the main reason actually. I suppose it's technically possible, though.

Crashes so far:
- previewing in Views, just like Rui got
- turning on the sound effect for scoring points and then scoring points in the "game"
- changing the cursor to another sprite (the large key), then being unable to interact with any hotspots (not exactly a crash, but Ctl-Q stopped working at that point so Ctl-Alt-Dlt was needed)
Okay. None of that is crucial. I'll do a fixed version this week, though.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum to write on, but the link to download the said game seems to be broken.

I keep getting redirected to a "searchportal.information.com" site which is rather weird. I still see the URL "http://www.agsforums.com/rlbat-win.zip", though.  ???

Thanks!

This link works fine for me:

Um, I meant "Richard Longhurst & the Box that Ate Time." META's download link works fine; I'm playing it right now ;)

I've fixed the bugs mentioned in these threads (at least, the ones that weren't intentional) and recompiled META with the latest version of AGS.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the annoyingness of this game is the kind that I would like to recreate. How the hell do you get over the hole, I'm almost tearing my hair out.

It's very logical. You can't jmup. So...

You need something to put over it. The illogical part is getting it there.

I like the idea behind META, very original!  Unfortunately for me, knowing nothing about the AGS editor is making the game very hard.  Still a great idea though as I'm sure those with some AGS experience really could appreciate the puzzles.

ManicMatt

I was so stuck with the dialogue, that I changed the FILE NAME ofÃ,  META to awesome quest to see if it would work...

obviously it didn't.

Then I got past that and got annoyed and puzzled as to why the blue cup guy wanted me to change the name of the game but I can't actually do that in the general options.

and quit.

But it's an ingenious idea! Especially..

Spoiler
when you 'quit' the game! haha!

He doesn't really want you to do that, nor is it necessary to complete the Awesmoe Quest.

One word: Crazy. This game is crazy.

A humble request...

The game META was never intended for everyone, indeed it is unlikely to appeal to people who aren't already AGS coders. As such, I am very grateful for the good response to it here, and the several people who found it funny, or crazy out-of-the-box thinking, or who spent ages trying to get Cuppit to shut up.

However - on the AGS games page, the only comment on the game is that it's a dumb waste of time. Well, of course everybody has the right to their opinion. But I would really appreciate it if one or two people who did like the game and expressed such in this thread, would leave a brief note to that extent on the AGS page so that the game doesn't seem totally worthless from there. Thanks.

Okay... this game was always intended to be tricky. But it turned out to be somewhat trickier than I intended. I spoke to several people recently who didn't realize there's more to this game than a single screen or a single joke, or who couldn't get Cuppit to shut up.

Thus, an upgrade. Cuppit will shut up this time. And you start in the editor. Yes indeed, this game plays IN the game editor. There is about twenty screens to explore and fiddle around with. And several puzzles, of course. If you think you know the AGS editor, try this one on for size!

Download.

Yay! I never got past the first puzzle before, so this update sounds good to me!
Still waiting for Purity of the Surf II

That was crazy. Cuppit was so obnoxious.
Oh almighty CJ, promise to never release Cuppit!


I found an extremely easy way to beat this game:

turn on debug mode, then skip to room 4

Nope, that's the solution to one of the puzzles ;D

BTW, this is one of the bests and most originals games I've seen.
