um, for some reason i cant manage to solve the first puzzle, ive put the contents in the cauldron and they are boiling, yet whenever i click the cauldron with the empty pot, nothing happens 

When I try to run Charlie Foxtrot, a message from my computer tells me "video mode not supported", What should I do? 

This is my first try at making my lead character. She's going to get stuck in a place in called Horror Land, based on the Goosebumps book by the same name. I had trouble with the boots, and suggestions on anything else would be helpful.

I think the claw hand looked better in the original because it's symmetrical (no hint of thumb). Also I would make the hand larger and more rounded at the two ends. Maybe even add some gruesome looking veins.

[most original plot in a short game.]

As a representative for the females that are part of this forum. I hereby nominate the CL1TOR1S Award as a replacement for the P3N1S Award.

Also I would like to cast a vote for the common cold as most original plot in a short game. or for best short game

And a double vote for Nelly Cootalot as most user friendly game icons and best visuals. or for everything Ali mentioned

I think CRAZY said it best: "plagurise".

   It's the only way, because if you think about it all ideas are borrowed from your life experiences.

   I suggest you put on some good music, take out a brand new notebook and make a mind map. Then, think of the most compelling and enjoyable plot you remember. It will sink in as a feeling and images of that really good anime show you saw last week or two years ago will come to your mind.

   Write down what you liked about it and want to copy. Keep adding things to it until your mind map has taken over an entire page and sit back and enjoy what you have reaped.

   Continue expanding your notes until you can't go on, and come back to it later. If there's anything I've learned about the creative process is that you should take your time. Very important.

   Then borrow things you have liked from your own life. (If you love playing poker then by all means include poker as a puzzle). This way you guarantee you will have fun making the game. Let this creative process remain solely on paper for weeks or even months if need be.

   Then think about the main character and (ready for the fun part) think of something horrible to befall him/her. Murder, theft, ghosts, crime, kidnapping. Anything dreadful you can imagine. Continue making mind maps and once you feel every aspect of the game has been answered that's when you can begin using AGS.

ok maybe I'm really dumb but i can't figure out how to ring the bell, anyone?

EDIT: nevermind, that rope is really easy to miss!

I must have missed that part
Thanks

okay I did it
but for some reason AGS interprets the white parts of my charcater as transparent
and I can see through the character...?

how do I import a new player character to replace the one that comes with the default game?
I drew one in paint and saved it as a bmp...

I downloaded 7-zip but can't get it to work

Hello

I'm stuck on what to do to "El Mono" (the juju man at the mine)
