I find it interesting what cat said "On the other hand, I'm not sure I would want to animate other people's sprites.". It seems that their might be plenty of every talent out there, but getting someone interested in your project and convincing them that everyone is truly dedicated enough to finish can be difficult. Also if its not your passion why would you spend your time on it?

What is everyone's opinion on the most hard to find skill when creating adventure games?

Thanks everyone the suggestions worked.

So I need to have a pair of braces around all the calls that follow the IF statement?

No I do not have an initial SetTimer call somewhere else in the script

Sorry for lack of clarification. The character actually moves around randomly, but its at full speed. The timer in the if doesn't even seem to matter. The problem is if I change eBlock to eNoBlock. The cChar1 doesn't move at all and I want to know why.

I want an NPC to move around the room randomly, but I also want it to run in the background. Everytime I change eBlock to eNoBlock it doesn't work. I tried adding a timer to see if that would fix it, but it still doesn't work. I checked all over forums and I couldn't find my answer. Any ideas? Does anyone understand what I am trying to do?

int manY;
int manX;
function room_AfterFadeIn()
{
manX=160;
manY=100;
}
function room_RepExec()
{
if ((cChar1.x == manX) && (cChar1.y == manY) && (IsTimerExpired(1)))
  SetTimer(1,5000);
  manX=Random(280);
  manY=Random(173);
  cChar1.Move(manX, manY, eBlock);
}

"Alone in the dark" the music I think is what brought the scare.
"5 days a stranger" I am not sure why this game was scary, but for me it was

So I have been working on a remake for KQ4. Its not much, but I have to start somewhere.
Before I attempted to try and recruit others to help me with this project I just wanted to hear what everyone thought. For example does this qualify me as someone who is capable of coding this remake? If not what should be added before I consider recruitment. Take note I only completed 2 screens even though I added a lot more. I didn't want to do too much work because my future goal is to make a remake with all new artwork/sound and even slightly modified story/puzzles.

So in the following you will noticed that only 2 screens the dock and the dock/house are completed which I feel are 2 of the most difficult screens in the game cause they deal with walkbehinds that are based on height and location.

Who would be interested in making one? A project that anyone can contribute to in their spare time. We just need to start a collection of artwork and we can fill in sound, dialog and coding as its needed. I will try to organize and I could assist with coding and dialog. We would need to be able to chat on a messenger like google messenger or something that we can regularly communicate on and we can post any and all contributions on here. I will download and save everything to my computer and give it to anyone who asks. I want this to be an open project for anyone to use what is posted to encourage a definite future of a updated game which I have always wanted to see a remake for Kings Quest 4 Perils of Rosella. Any ideas or suggestions you have are highly appreciated.

I have sent a pm to her about a month ago asking her how is the project and is she looking for help and I received no reply, so the answer is probably no. Maybe you would have better luck than I.

Something like this?

Yes the artwork on that project is great, but it seems to just be one person working on the artwork. Are they accepting artwork from everyone?

I would really like to see a point and click remake of KQ4. Its the only one yet to have one and all the attempts to make one seem to be on a very long hold. Instead of looking for a select few to create it how about everyone who wants to see a remake contribute something. I am sure if everyone contributes just a little bit that it will not be too difficult for anyone. I think with the AGS development software the hardest thing is graphics.. so we should start a database of artwork for kings quest 4 starting with the map of tamir you can find plenty of screen shots of the classic game to give an idea of what to start with. Anyone think this could work?

I really like the artwork used in this remake, I think everyone involved is doing a great job. I have always liked the style of kings quest 5 and 6 point and click adventure and with the talent put into this remake of kings quest 4 this game would be an awesome addition to the series. I look forward to seeing more artwork like this.
