Guys, Girls, Non-binaries,

I AM GOING INSANE! Ok, I've got a conversation going on with a character behind a door, I placed them in the scene so that the position of the dialog text is correct. But trying to call the variables for the character to define visibility JUST AREN'T working... I've tried setting visibility = false I've tried setting transparency I am getting no where... I also attempted to scale the character smaller and hide them behind a nonwalkable area... nothing... nothing is affecting the fucking character, it remains...

Code: ags

function room_Load()
{
cEgo.Transparency = 100;
}  

My biggest problem is I don't understand when and how I define variables for characters. Or Functions for interactions, I get half of it, but my syntax is wrong. Is there a set of tutorials for the new engine that can help, the ones written directly by Chris on the main page don't give me enough understanding WHY certain phrases and pieces are called and used together... Are there any scripting tutorials that can help me understand the formatting and procedure to make some headway and context for programming in general?

Hello World,

It's been 13 years since my first game, and 6 years since I was last here. I logged in to review my original game and update it for the new millenium... and possibly ios...

Well in upgrading it from 2.71 to ANY version of 3 I have hit a few snags.

I am getting a single coding error.
room3.asc(301): Error (line 301): Undefined token 'unhandled_event'

the unhandled event on line 301 is unhandled_event(1, 3)... which is used elsewhere with no issues.

Code: ags

function hHotspot3_UseInv()
{
if (player.ActiveInventory == inventory[18]) {
hotspot3_a();
}
else {
 unhandled_event(1, 3);
}
}

SO I did some research and added to the global header...

Code: ags

import function unhandled_event(1, 3);

BUT this just yields this error...
GlobalScript.ash(7): Error (line 7): PE03: Parse error at '1'


It's been years... I got nothing.

This is re-jigged artwork form 2002 or 2004 with the dialogue added in and converted to a comic book page. my weaknesses are colour, text and pacing in a static medium. I'm an actor so i can pace it vocally but it seems flat on the page.

New comic, not sure if the punch line has enough pace, and i hate the colour choices...

Last night I dreamt I walked into a well decorated new style large house with a group of people. The first thing I saw apon entering was a boy, or at least I thought of it as a boy. What it really was, was an undead mummified child with an overly large head, more like a freakish doll, no clothes, skin the colour of tea stained paper, slender body, warped bubbly texture to the skin, no hair. It only stood about 2 - 2 and a half foot tall, and its monstrously large white eyes were the size of tennis balls with unclosing lids and vacant black pupils and no irises. It was dead, but continued to move and it had a childs mind and it yearned for death. It moved slowly, feebly and pathetically, and it asked to be killed. The child had used to be a disembodied spirit but now was bound to this rotten husk of a body that still seemed to live. So we searched the house and tried to think of ways we could end its life, as we explored the house it became aparent that rooms opened out, not into parts of the house, but into parts of this childs mind... eventually in the kitchen myself and a friend found a knife, a long sharp knife that we somehow knew had been used by this child to kill others. We arrived back in the lounge to find the child, in desperation, had clawed or ripped its own left arm off above the elbow in an attempt to bleed to death, but the slow leak of red blood and yellow wasn't having any effect. And my friend and I discussed if even running the creature through with the knife would kill it... then i woke up.

Hi, this is just something really quick, I want to compile a total accurate list of Aussie AGSers.

DGmcphee and Myself would like to organise something for you guys but we need to know who you are and where you are... and GO!

Not sure what this is... I have trouble with hands... and this is the first shading i've done in 2 years.

I'm trying to come up with a design for a website for myself as an actor. (the last 2 designs use photos i took myself of myself, and for this reason are not going to be used)

Hi, I've been away from the forums for a while. And for a number of reasons, most of which people prolly don't care about. The main one being Alcohol, in the last 2 years I've been drinking myself stupid. My intake has probably been equivilant to 8 - 10 standard drinks 3-5 times a week. I started when i lost my girlfriend and job in the same month, and have been drinking ever since. Over two years I put on 10 kg (approx 22lb), and spent more than 9 months unemployed. (still "officially" unemployed). But in the last 3 months I've been turning that around. I've enrolled in a Music Theatre course with the Victorian College of the Arts, one of australias leading arts institutions. And for the last 4 weeks I've not been drinking and I've been dieting and exercising and have lost a total of 6kg (approx 14.2lb) thus far.

I'm feeling good about me, but feeling stung out in general. With out the alcohol what has become apparent was how my drinking was self medicating in an attempt to get away from anxiety, and depression issues. I've started to revert to how i was in high school, I'm anxious, nauseus, and constantly freaking myself out about irrational things. I'm sick of dark thoughts and rushing adrenalin.

Also this might sound a little odd explained this way but because I've never been a blokey bloke, and because of my theatre based interests I coped alot of crap in school for being gay, which hasn't gone away that much (at an average 50% of people think I am, which pisses me off). Recently one of my voice teachers, confronted me and told me I would prolly be a lot happier if I considered being honest with myself about my sexuality, and because I was depressed I went away for a week and thought about things, add in the fact that I worry about irrational things to begin with it was not a great week. And only now have i come to the end of it with the decision that I prefer women alot more than men. And once I realised that I was thinking about the subject from a forced perspective,( that was making me forget alot of life experiences), I calmed down and I realised I'm me, and I've always been honest... just single and no girls like me (but then its hard for girls to like a guy who totally mood swings, and gives off weird emotional vibes).

My brain sucks. The other thing that is currently driving me made is the concept of mortality and the soul. I'm having trouble reconiling its existence. So it takes a extra half hour to get to sleep because I have to stop get up, and calm myself down... my mind swims, i feel like I'm falling, and sometimes i feel like being ill and my body can even tense up (like right now).

I don't know what I hope to get out of writing this, it all seems a bit random, I guess I wanted to vent and be heard. Thank you all for listening.

this is the first website I've had in 3 years... What do people think of the layout... something feels a little off...

dammit do i need a better host

main character for game...






ARRRRGH... I can't seem to turn the character right...



I may have trouble with shading, and animating will be interesting, but i really like the style.

Mark is up for a challenge. All the other explosive techians are busy when the emergency call is put through to his departmen and he thinks he has been sent out on nothing more than a harmless prank. This is not a good day to be a rookie...

Short 3 room game, that yet again features explosives... not sure why.







Art: 90%
Story: 80%
Puzzles 100%
Coding: 50%

(I know how can the puzzles and art be more complete than the story... short answer I'm winging the dialogue. There is something to be said for improv.)



PS. Game started in 2002 directly after Little Jonny Evil, and completed up to this stage. Then I discovered drinking, and have had a little bit of an alcohol problem ever since. Now I'm free, and sober, 4 weeks and counting, I've even lost 5 kilos, and am back down to 65Kg... and looking to get back to 60kg so all my old clothes will fit.

Ok here's how it works.

The game is played by someboby providing a sentence. eg.  "How nature says, "Do not Touch"."

Next people must drawing a "one panel" comic stip to convey the sentence in as humourous way as possible for example. Style of drawing not as important as expression of characters and situation to derive humour.

For this game I will provide 3 sentences for people to choose from.  Winner to be decided on Friday the 1st of September.
Sentence's for this week,

"It could be the meaning of life, thought geoff, but then again he had been fooled before."

"Edna like a lot of things about Madge, this was NOT one of them."

"Mark thought he MIGHT be able to get away with putting it back together."

Its meant to be famous but i can't remember who, its aproximately 4 minutes long. Its a Private Detective monologue.

I think its meant to be someone like bob newhart.... (i'm going insane looking for this damn thing) Can anyone PLEASE help me???

:'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Well hello everyone,

I have something I want to talk to everyone about. I am a tremendous Terry Pratchett fan, i've read ALL the books. And I've read them multiple times, I'm not kidding I've reread "feet of clay" aproximately 7 or 8 times. And I am PISSED about the atrocity of Discworld Noir. The animation and graphics are awful, cheap badly rendered, underdesigned trash. The interface is highly illogical and at a guess I would have to say wasn't even so much as designed as farted into the game. And don't get me started on the voice acting.

I could do better voices trashed out of head on alcohol and cold medicine.

The game itself has potential... sooooo much, but whoever made it simply raped the concept till it was unrecognizably shit. I would illustrate it in a style reminicant of Paul Kidby but more cartoony, and simplied.

Who else wants to remake this game? Because it could really be something, besides awful.

PS. Anyone ever thought this way about other games? That remaking them would be better than playing them.

I've been thinking about it. Mainly my imagination was peaked when you think that after jesus dies and comes back, he doesn't actually look jesus. He isn't immediatley recognised by his followers.

What if Jesus was a timelord that just got a bit caught up in a social upheaval and now is thought of as the son of god.

Everyone needs to read this. I don't like their political ideology. And this is just awful.

(i've tried to use online translators, but they are shithouse for czech)

I seriously love Under a Killing Moon, Pandora Directive, and Overseer (martian memorandum not so much). I love them for their interface. Humour and complete character control. I seriously want to make a 3d and FMV adventure game.
