Indiana Jones and the Gold of Genghis Khan - English/Italian

Gabarts · Wed 24/12/2014 18:09:45

Europe, 1939: Indy finds himself once again hot on the trail of an ancient treasure. A famous diary, thought lost to the world forever, has been found. This discovery leads Indy to Venice to seek out the book, and then onwards to the East, deep into the mysterious Oriental kingdoms which once lay under the iron-fisted rule of Genghis Khan.

In this bitter time, overshadowed by the threat of cataclysmic war and the power struggles of two meglomaniacal fascist leaders, Indy must tread his way carefully through the political intrigue of war-time Europe, while also attempting to solve the ancient puzzles which could ultimately lead him to: The Lost Gold Of Genghis Khan.

The game takes place just after Indy has returned home from "The Last Crusade". The player steps into Indy's shoes as he must steel himself for the coming struggle against Mussolini's fascist forces to reach Ulan-Bator first, armed with enough knowledge to beat them to the treasure.

Looks a juicy xmas present!
Any chance of having a .zip instead of a .rar? Unfortunately .rar is seldom linux friendly

Looking forward to play this one again, just so I can get the full text. :-) The Italian just run a bit too fast for me to follow up with it.

Cheers mate! It was truly my pleasure!

I also had a selfish motivation: I really wanted to play the game!

For some reason ~~this game is far from having a sufficient level of polish~~ EDIT: most bugs fixed in version 2.5, but since it's Indy, it works, and it's enjoyable!

Kudos for the original locations.

Thanks. I would really love to develop MY adventure in full hi-res backgrounds and original characters someday... that would be awesome. But I had this idea of making some sort of retro Indy game to explore AGS and I'm happy you liked.

I wasn't talking about the graphics, but about all the other things -- the ones I've been extensively whining about in other threads

These are what makes good games!

Gabarts · Sat 27/12/2014 17:25:11

You are talking about puzzles? Or the fact that you had hard time solving them because of some kind of bugs?

I'm talking about the weird interactions and pseudo-bugs. No offense though!

Gabarts · Mon 29/12/2014 12:40:26

The game is under investigation... I received some helps around. Thanks to UtDefault who have done a great beta-testing of the game. Also a programmer in the "Indiana Jones and the seven cities of gold" is helping me with some noticed bugs. I'm going to rewrite some puzzles and some updates will be coming...

AprilSkies · Mon 29/12/2014 12:46:24

Gabarts, it's always a good thing when some critics and some advices comes from veterans, such as MonsieurOUXX.
It was the same for me.. Err it's still the same! It helps a lot!

Thanks! About the writing, that depends on how much coffee I've had 8-08-0

Gabarts · Thu 01/01/2015 01:27:08

I solved by myself one hell of a bug, that of the missing interactions. Many others problems corrected and changed some puzzles. I'll upload soon the new game files. The problem was a missing

Code: ags

else Unhandled();

basically...

Thank you for providing this game! I enjoyed the Indy-adventure atmosphere and the lovely character paintings.

Some things I noticed during playing:
- Pixel hunting (especially wallet, apple, rhododendron)
- Interaction GUI didn't hide during dialog speeches
- Room changing didn't work every time because of curious borders (character was outside of room 1 but stayed in the room)
- Some room changing areas miss mouse over text (for example street entries in Venedig)
- Fruit seller blocks the game when shouting first sentences
- Allow also "use with" beside "give to" when using breadball with seagull or ID card with nazi guard
- Allow also "go to" beside use when entering passage

Keep on creating the next chapter! I'm looking forward.

- What you mean with Venedig, the panorama view? There are 3 changing areas and should be working...
- I've used SayBackground for the fruit seller but the problem persist, don't know how to fix it...
- Passages on rooftop are hotspots and need the "look at" action, cannot use "go to".

Anyway the pixel hunting series will be fixed once for all with the next version.

Making a game and releasing it is a difficult feat in and of itself! Kudos to you guys for starting a game, and seeing it through! The follow through is the toughest. There's always going to be bugs and polish you want to put on it, and you just may over time! I've done that with plenty of my games. I just want to say "Nice Work!"

With Venedig I meant that the street entries (to enter the street in another room) do not have a mouseover text. So, it was difficult for me to detect that when my character goes there I will change the room. Also this circumstance made it difficult to me to distinguish these room changing areas from background areas (for example the archways in background of the bridge).

I think that at some time I also had the problem with "SayBackground". I moved the "SayBackground" calls into the "repeatedly_execute_always()" function of the room. There it does not block the character. Maybe you want to give it a try.

Too bad that the "passages" on rooftop cannot use the "go to" action. I needed some time to figure out.

Once again, thank you for the game.
Waiting for the next chapter...

Thanks, I'll explain you the problem with SayBackground. It was in the REP_Always but I added some Wait() and for some reasons it stopped the character.
