Awesome game! Just got finished now...

The main thing that got me stuck was

Spoiler: ShowHide
Whenever I tried using the dynamite the game said "throw from a distance". I know now that the game was trying to tell me to "just throw the dynamite instead of using it you idiot!", but the way the hint is phrased suggested more to me that I had to find the right distant point to throw it from rather than that throwing it was the main point. I would suggest changing that hint to something simpler like "You need to throw the dynamite" or just avoid the whole thing the way you did with the rope: "Use" and "Throw" do same thing...


Mandle, did you eventually figure it out, or did you have to look up the solution?

There's the same issue with
Spoiler: ShowHide
pick up / pull the rope / the cable


Yeah, I must admit that at first I briefly thought

Spoiler: ShowHide
"I must use my strength" meant that I must somehow become stronger like by drinking a Red Bull from the vending machine (laugh). Perhaps something like "It's a bit stuck in the debris. It's going to take a little more than just picking it up to heft it free." I chose the word "heft" to make it not quite as obvious but if it's still confusing to people you could use "jerk it free" and it that's still not enough "yank it free". Actually you could even use each term in order each time the player tries to pick up the rope so it's a gradually easier hint. That could work... ;-D

I eventually figured it out. I did manage to complete the whole game without looking up any hints. I think it took me about 2 hours including "stuck" time.

We tried to guess what the player would think... butI must admit we totally missed this one! :-D

I'm curious : did you have the same confusion with the...

electric cable behind the vending machine, which must be pulled as well?

Anyway, thanks for your ideas!

No, that was pretty clear what to do after the same experience before.

I'm happy to let you know that I Want Out! is now also translated in Spanish, which now makes 5 avalaible languages.
Thanks to Raul Puro for that!

Nicely done!

When I start the game, it immediately fails with an error:

in "room 301.asc", line 27

:embarrassed:

Edit: Ok, got it running by changing the driver to "Software Renderer" via the winsetup. :sealed:

Edit 2: Just finished the game. It was a great experience. Congrats on a well done short game!

I don't like that...
This line is a simple FadeIn()... Could you try again with OpenGL and DirectX to see if it can be reproduced, please? Maybe there's an incompatibility with your OpenGL version... is it an old PC?

Is it full error message or was there anything else?

Hi everybody,

Hopefully here is the final update to this game, in order to prevent a bug reported several times (alt-tab combination leading to dialogs quickly skipping by themsleves).
I updated the game with AGS engine version 3.4.1.14 which fixes this bug.

I considered creating a new game with AGS for a time but I'm just starting a project in another genre for now...
So I'll come back here when I'll have another Point'n'click project.

Cheers!

Hey Beau! Yes, sure...
For the past months, I've been learning how to code video games (well... the basis...) to be able to create games from scratch...
I'm making (at least trying to make...) a platform game. I'm currently at a very early stage, coding the engine.
I don't want to spam here because it's not AGS related, but if you're interested, I've just started to publish my WIP >here< some days ago.

Btw, one day, I may need beta testers again ;)...
