Im sort of new at this but i was wondering what language of scripting does AGS use.

Why thank you, i have the story and such and whatever you do would be amazing for me.

There is no rush at all, we can talk whenever you want, my MSN is Mat_t-13@hotmail.com

you can email me there as well, i can tell you anything you need to know about my game.

Thank you so much

i had to scrap the first design, didnt really work out the way i wanted it to...

im going to keep trying tho

Well so far i have the entryway to the house, im trying to make it have a table in the middle of the walkway and 3 dorrs, 2 faceing west and one facing north.

iv drawn up a map but its dead hard trying to make it facing another direction...

Well i looked at the guide, im not much good with art and what i have isnt what i imagined when i first thought up the game.

I guess it can only go up from there.

Im reading it and its pretty cool, thanks for the guide

Im working on my first room, but it isnt coming so well, idk how you people put so much detail into everything, mine looks like something off of teletubbies...

SO i guess what ill do is download a paint program and try a lil bit and then ill try a little bit of room making.

You don't really NEED to have the BGs done before starting coding on the game. You can look over some of the tutorials in the stickie that Khris is talking about, then just draw some sketchy or programmer art. Use that to finish coding your game, then you can probably get someone to help you out by doing the BGs, or you could yourself work bit by bit improving it.

Alternatively, you could just go around photographing your house (or someone else's house), or even search up in google images using the "labelled for reuse" or "labelled for reuse with modifcation" license option, and make a sort of first-person-view game (where the player character isn't visible, you see the world through their eyes).

My god thats a good idea, but im lookign for more of a Broken down dead kind of building, my house is vibrant and alive...

This is going to be something like resident evil but less about zombies and more about a killer.

If anyone wants to hear the whole game plot i can type it up, not much trouble.

thats still better detail that i can come up with, is there a specific paint program you use that can make this kind of detail?

i just tryed using paint.

Right now, i have the story and a compiled list of every room/item/person i will need.

I need to get the backrounds and such before i can start making the game.

unless there is something i dont know then please fill me in but according to the tutorials i watched/read i need the backrounds before i can start.

I wish there was more i could do and less i have to ask for.

I feel bad.

Well idk about hiring, i dont make that much money, and a game is always changeable while in development.

I just wish there was someone to help me, i tryed making one and i believe a 4 year old could do better

Yes but what i need for my game is somewere around 30 rooms, there are 7 characters and about 40 items to use.

Which is why i need a comitted artist to help me.

But i will not ask for more than what they are willing to give.

So does that mean i cannot use these backrounds and sprites on my game if i have my own plot?

AH thank you for replying, really im looking for someone who knows about making sprites and backrounds.

I dont really know anything about making sprites, and i am in no way a artistic person, so in the backrounds and sprites department, i will need some help, and i always put anyone who helps me in the credits.

If anyone out there could help me with my backrounds, i would be very grateful.

Thank you

Well i could tell you my idea over a PM, iv been thinking about it for a long time, i was REALLY inspired by 5 days a stranger ect.

Its basically the same concepts (evil mass murderer, your trapped in house looking for way out, must solve complex riddles, you know the drill)

im more of a "ideas" person, im only 17 and are new to programming, my older brother got me started with AGS because he told me its a neat way to learn this kind of thing, iv always been interested with computers and games and such so he thinks its a good idea getting me into this.

So ya basically all i need to do is keep the tutorial handy and get some good portraits to use.

im going for a evil old mansion kind of thing, the kind of house that you would typically find a bunch of old rotted bodies and a wierd retard mass murderer wielding a knife or something.

But anyway any help is very much appreciated.

Thank you

HELLO!!!!!

My name is Matt, but you can call me Shishkahoobin!!!

Im new to AGS, i recently found myself playing the 4 Trilby Games (wasnt a fan of The art of theft)

And iv delved deep into Croshaw's work and found this.

And i would like to start working on one of my own, BUT then i found out you need art...

And well i dont have a spect of art in my whole body.

So is there like a place you can go to get a bunch of premade pictures to use? i already have the plot of my game down pat, i just need to learn from here.

Well its nice to meet all you fine folk if anyone has a chance i could use some help

Thank You
