Trapezoid

Hooray for Waldo! By the way x0z, if there are more midis you'd like me to make, just send me a PM.

Neole

No fair, you posted the screens I had already seen. *sulk*

Squinky

Cool crap man, This looks promising...

x0z

Game is going to be big...  :(

Better have adsl...

Game is going to be about 10-20MB... Sorry everyone...

Trapezoid

Ooh, cool. Bigness. If anything that just makes the game seem even more promising (I was worried that it would end up being too short.)

x0z


x0z

What you like about airports toilet screenshot?

Neole

Thanks x0z! The cartoony style in the backgrounds is great - it continues looking real fun! Only, why dont the backgrounds fill the whole screen?

Yellow is a Flavor

Wow, looks like it'll be great...

Quickstrike

I just soiled myself because it looks so good.  You owe me that game and a new pair of boxers!

Neole,

I drawed many, many pictures (about 9) then I resized them to 640*280,
OUTLINES WAS TOO FAT! Oh no what i'm going to do now... Then I got idea, I resized them to 400*296... Wow!!

Actually that "small screen" in the middle can be viewed as a style, and it looks cool too (probably has a better impact than they're fullscreen).

Furthermore, one thingie about point & clock adventure games is that sometimes a hotspot/edge/object is put too close to the screen edge, making you difficult to click on it (for example in SCI games sometimes it's difficult to click on a spot near the top of the screen without bringing up the ocmmand icon bar). But that way you shrinked the bgs in the middle of the screen, will never have this problem. Good thing.

I'll suggest that if you want, you can make some random animations on the border of teh screen (can enrich it, but NOT REALLY necessary), such as in rare occations, a face pops up from the right edge and yells "YAY" etc.

--EDIT--
HAHAHA point & clock, I won't edit the original words so you can have a good laugh at me. ;D

x0z

Gilbert I love your idea! THANKS!

nightmairs

#15
I seriously wish i could draw like that!

Cool Game!

x0z


Neole

Some games do have smaller screens for scenes like closets and toilets, but not all the scenes. But Gilbot's idea will work really well! So if you solve a puzzle or crack a joke with a silly look at or use, you could have an audience laugh or someone appear in the side area and pass a snide comment instead of the main character saying "I cant do that".

x0z

Do you wanna be Wallace McCool's voice... Waldo-game needs some voice actors... Petteri A is one of them... Are you the another...  8)

Someone...? ???

Pet Terry

Yep, I'm voice of Waldo... but we need more voices! I know there's many people how can do voices :)

2 questions:

What properties are you looking for in Wallaces voice?

Whoever did the art for the game where did the learn to draw like that and what drawing program did you use?

x0z

#21
I did the art... I use PSP7 (Paint Shop Pro)...


If you wanna be Wallace, you need old mans voice...

x0z

I have new avatar.. He hee! What you think about Jokes? 8)

nightmairs


x0z

I'm not going to release DEMO... Wait for whole game...  8)

Few weeks left. Do you guys need more screenshots?

Neole

I can never have enough of backgrounds. Dont release more than 15% of the bakgrounds though, as a rough rule!

nightmairs

Yeah some more screenshots of different rooms would nice. in other words...... GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!

Timosity

I thought I'd posted a comment on this game but I couldn't find it so,

This game is going to kick arse, the graphics are awsome, love the character art and the whole style.

I saw just one similar thing in my game Saddson Issein, regarding the jokes, you Have G. W. Brush, I had G.U.W Brush (Goo Brush),
But don't change anything, I was just pointing out an observation.

Keep up the excellent work

Well its cool, but still.. hmm... its not like a "toilet". You know. Damn, hard to explain. Just there must be all these elements that makes it look like a TOILET.

Try to get something out of that!

EDIT: Now I know, you need to put mirror and sinks over there, and a condom machine ;)

Btw, that Waldo guy reminds me something about rincewind.

Calm down, calm down!

It is your own your own business if you change it, of course. But I just wanted to ask that why to change it. I like the x0z more that that Alajuuri whatever thingy.

First off, the game looks really cool. I like the style of the screenshots.

I can try out for one of the parts, thing is, I can't seem to find your email. So why don't you email me (btails@shaw.ca) with a small description of any parts that need filling (Particularly Shakesbeer, heh), and I'll do up a quick sample to send back.

VerbCoin or simple sierra style GUI? Tell me! Thanks....

x0z

Waldo was on brake, but now it's on again... Will I make VerbCoin or GUI in the screenshots?

Voices and sounds are going fine! Petteri A (Waldo) have made many many samples... Game is now about 7 MBs...

Wait few more monts again! Send puzzle ideas to my mail: Wademan@luukku.com or with Instant Message!

Danke Schön! (Or something like that)

Petteri A, BerserkerTails and Vel wait few days and I send voice list to you! Okay?

Few actors are with no voices... Check first site...
AirportWoman, Waldo, Wallace and ShakesBeer have voice actors....

Vel


tychooo

x0z

This is just to show of that I am still in working on Waldo! Last time i made something to Waldo it was June but I that I have some of that inspiration to finish waldo back! Petteri, Azure, BerserkerTails and Vel have promised to be voice actors and Petteri and Azure have started to make them (There is about 40 sounds ready so I really want finish this game). Okay nothing more to say!



By the way I choosed that GUI in that picture! Thanks!

Vel

Great! I will contribute to that project with whatever I can.

Azure

Haven't been around here much so i'm glad things are still going!

I have little problem! Azures voices volume is very low... If I raise volume it's sounds bad but I think it's good enought!


x0z

Game is going nicely but I don't want to say day when it's ready, it's ready when it's ready.

100th post in this thread! ;D

 :'( I removed AGS's old version and IT REMOVED WALDO TOO!!! :'(

How is it possible!!!  ??? :'( :-\

I am sorry!

evilspacefart

Bloody hell!  :o

That's horrible. Do you have any backup files at all? I back up my files onto a cd whenever I make a significant change. Sad really. I was looking forward to this game.

x0z

No any Waldo-file backups...

Just exe-files...

AGA

http://www.runtime.org/gdb.htm - try using this (you'll have to find a crack for it though :O) - I used it after I accidentally deleted some files, and it managed to restore them...

BerserkerTails

I make music.

Nixxon

Surely you'd have the original background and sprite PCX's, music etc in a different folder?
Rescripting wouldn't be so bad, if you 'have' lost everything... ouch.... and then some. :(

Queen Kara

I don't get it. The title is nice and the graphics are different from what one usually sees  , but what is this game about?
Sorry.

The game has been lost, it's no longer being worked on.
