COMPLETED: Redpants meets Robinson Clauseau

[barefoot]

Hi

Just completed Redpants Episode2: Redpants Meets Robinson Clauseau. (A parady of Robinson Crusoe)

I have learnt much since my first Redpants episode and have tried to incorporate this into the gameplay.

STORY:
Redpants wakes up on a desert island and meets Robinson Clauseau who has just been marooned by Yellow Beard the infamous pirate of the 7 seas!

* Find stuff and build a shelter
* Look for food
* Make a raft
* Find all of Yellow Beard's hidden treasure chests

Can you complete the tasks and help Robinson Clauseau by finding all the treasure??

GAME PLAY:
This is a game of collecting items and completing tasks. Use inventory items to
complete tasks. A few inventory items have to be used with another inventory item to
produce another inventory item needed to complete that particular task.

To complete the game you need to sucessfully collect 3 treasure chests.

GAME SPECS:
Colour depth 16-bit
Resolution 640x480
Contains Music and Sounds

I'll have a look. See what has been improved since #1... ;-)

The game has been renamed after compiling and should be DBL.exe. Now your setup.exe doesn't work, unless the game is manually renamed.

It's again an interactive story. Some parts where you expect to play are done automatically. Still nice story though. And debug mode is still on.


More later...

- A lot of typo's. Might want to get it proofread before releasing.
- On the second island, things stick to the door but stay in your inventory.
- You can open the shell more than once, while you shouldn't have the knife...

Hi Leon..

Yes, I understand about the DBL. exe... Something I had overlooked...Now noted, thanks... I will upload the DBL.exe without changing it.

Regarding the knife (or scissors) sticking to cave door, the character picks them up again, although you dont see it.. maybe I should mention before entering the cave...

You don't lose the knife.

There are always some spell mistakes we overlook, so I will run through it again.

Glad you got as far as you have.

Many thanks for your comments Leon. All taken onboard.

You don't lose the knife.

I know. But when I can see it on the door, I don't expect it in my inventory. That you take it when moving on is ok, but for the time being remove them from the inventory. You don't need them at that time anyway so...

"You don't lose the knife." (could also be scissors)  -  have temp taken them out of inventory at that point. Shell, knife and pearl also sorted.

cheers

Does redpants have a Puffy Treasure Island connection?

I'm a little bit concerned about those white pixels around the sprites. There should be a relatevly simple way to fix these by making "selection by colour" and filling them with transparent colour. Well, unless you use MS Paint, which don't have this kind of tool

Just FYI, when I try to download from the game page, I get an error.

Hi Crimson
I'm aware of some of the white speckles, especially around Redpants... I use the 'Wand' in PSP and it grips quite close to the sprite, but due to eyesight problems its difficult to get it exact at this point...
