Well, you should make the sun yellow (because, as someone in these forums said (can't remember who, please no kill!)), there is no such thing as white light (I think). Anyway, the rest is very nice. Inspiring happy, illuminated thoughts. Keep it up!!!

Well, if you could give him a sarcastic evil smile and his hands rubbing in anticipation, he could look evil. But he's nice as is. I've been wanting to draw something like that for years, but I don't think I can. Like your fantasy/fairy tale style.

Anyways, a little bit about the story so you can tell me if I am on the right track. The main character is Ulysses Cramp and he has been cursed by fate. Very many bad things happen to him. This is nice as an idea because I can put any wacky thing that can happen to him into the game and still not make it look like it's worth crap. His mom threw him out because lightning had struck the house 12 times. So, he gets kidnapped, and locked in the left house. I can say no more or I will spoil the game (if it ever reaches completion)(and i hope it does, but, hey, I'm sort of lazy).

I tried without www. believe me, but it still won't show. When I first post, it displays it, and every time I view it again (in a day, an housr, a minute) it doesn't show. I think I am going to upload it to a server from the forum.
And about the picture, the building on the left should be the one where the main character gats locked up by his kidnappers. The 2 are tied with a rope because they are like small islands and the right one acts like a central node (a.k.a. the reception for kidnappers, as there are many other "locking-up bildings" around, with different comfort ratings, and they need a boss, don't they?) So, there you have it. What did I just say?

Hello, here is my first background. Sorry about the small resolution or some displacement of colors, but gifs aren't like bmp's and I wanted you to see the in-game resolution.

Is it too dark?

I have made a frontal view of him, but I couldn't keep the "je ne sais pas" atmosphere that he emanes from side view. Suggestions? I have no idea how to shade his face, though...



EDIT: I think he looks fatter here.

a-v-o is right. I tried a midi file from the internet and it worked. Although the one I need doesn't I think I can get it to work through a midi program. Thank you all and good luck on your games.

could someone make him walk more natural if you have time? thank you for your help.  :

No, AGS does not generate a log file, it cannot be activated from any preferences and cannot be manually introduced through scripting because in case of mid files, it does not see any actual errors.

No, with *.mid files it does not display any kind of warnings.

EDIT: Does someone know a good sound file convertor so I can test more sound file types?
Oh, and about the mp3 file, it found it, because it added it to the game's *.vox sound file.

Okay, I tried to play a sound effect (file: sound0.wav) when the main character does an action. It worked. Except that, it will not play *.mid or *.mp3 files when the same action is done. I would use only wav files, but the problems are 2: they are HUGE and cannot be used for music.

EDIT: Also, when I try and play an mp3 file, after I exit the game, AGS gives me the following message: "(in room 1): PlayMP3File: file 'filename.mp3' not found or cannot play". I'm sure that the file is in the dir. But why can't it play it?

Hello all. I tried to put music into my game and it doesn't play it. I copied the file in the game directory, it was named music0.mid. I know that AGS should play it automatically, but it didn't, so  tried from the room editor to play the music. Didn't work. I used the text script (PlayMusic(0). I even tried StopMusic() before PlayMusic, or renamed the file to music1.mid and called it 1 in scripts. I tried all the drivers I had with AGS for music. In winamp the file plays ok. What could it be? Am I doing somehing wrong?

I added animation, but I don't think it's good. The movements seem too robotic, but I cannot change them.

Thanks very much for the modifications. As I cannot draw anything better than a point, your help vas very appreciated. Also, here is the main GUI i think i am going to use:

What do you think?

Okay, I made some updates based on Nixxon's advices. Check it out.

Hello, I just made my first character (based on Guybrush Threepwood), and I wanted to know your opinion.



I know it's not much, but it's my first attempt at creating anything in Paint or any paint-like program.
Okay, I have an animation:

Please post your opinions or, if you have time, optimise it (although it needs a WHOLE LOT!)
Don't mind the face.(sorry, I was in a hurry)
If you can't see the animation, click the below link:
