So I'm trying to make my college-themed adventure game (still can't decide if I want it to be a zany comedy or a dark satire) but the pictures of dorm interiors I can find on Google Image Search are the wrong size or way too cramped (even for normal dorms) for an adventure game. I need two characters to fit there (two beds). This is where the adventure gets started, with dialogue before setting off in the world. I tried combing through some Space Quest backgrounds but found nothing. Is there a place where I can get pre-made backgrounds (at least to an extent?)

[cBman.SayAt player("Mike? MIKE!");]

This is probably an extremely stupid question, but I'm having a bit of problems in writing the script properly.

// Lock door on startup when entering the room
  set_door_state(20, 2);
  init_object(20, oDoor.ID);
  player.FaceDirection(eDir_Down);
    cBman.SayAt player("Mike? MIKE!");
    player.Say("Hey! This is just a test!");
    player.Say("Now get started with your own game.");
    cBman.Say("Have fun!");

I'm having a bit of trouble making the "SayAt player" work properly, it won't compile otherwise. What am I doing wrong?

Good news! I was able to install it, and now game development is officially underway. I was a bit crestfallen yesterday when I realized I couldn't draw my own LucasArts-esque backgrounds, but then I remembered that I never was going to use that, and just use digitized photos (edited, of course)

This.

I wanted to go for an official Microsoft download, but I think I made a mistake. How would I backtrack and hopefully expunge files that might mess things up?

I want to create a great adventure game I've been planning for over a year, but I can't install the application, demanding I use .NET framework. The links from AGS and the installer are broken, so I found 3.x on Microsoft (pre-release version) but the setup won't work for whatever reason. Please help! I want to make something awesome!
