When you try to leave, a police officer stands vigilant at your door and escorts you back inside.

The Room: The room itself is nearly barren and cold, next to your bed is the bed of another patient, who lays there quiet and unmoving, clearly asleep.Next to his bed is a balloon that says," get well soon." On the back wall are your pants with, what you believe, is the other patient's belongings. Next to your bed is a fake model of the human skeleton.The windows are unopenable, and you are on the 5th floor. What do you do

- two more items of your choosing which must have a good reason for being there.

Let's see what you can do!

I just stumbled upon an adventure game being made for the Nintendo DS a REAL Adventure game. It goes by the title Another Code and has really piqued my interest. It has logic puzzles much like the Myst-Style games, but the exploration and character interactions and artwork of the other types of adventure games. Let's hope this game does a good job when it comes out...here is a link with info for it with some video and screens as well

A question for all of you out there in the adventure gaming world. I have played many a different adventure game. I have seen companies come and go. Treasures flicker and fade with time. There are a lot of things that make an adventure game great, story-line, dialogue, music, even graphics. My question for all of you is this. Give me a great example of an adventure game gone "wrong" and how you feel you could improve it to make a better game.

Also, try and explain what works for you as a game player, what fits your tastes and moods in terms of an adventure game. Anyways....just a bit to think about

Here is the first room I have ever created, hopefully it ranks decently. Take a look and give me some ideas on how to improve it.



Now I haven't done much in terms of shading, and I need to do some more coloring, but overall is the perspective correct and does everything look like it should? Be gentle

Adventures have definatly been a thriving world in the independant markets, as can definatly be seen here by the many members of the AGS community. I was wondering though what types of contributions have we had to advance the adventure gaming world to give the players a very unique experience. I am curious to hear what everyone has had in mind and what they have brought to the table.

I personally am going to spend my time focusing on description and ideas. I feel that one thing that many adventure games have missed was study. I loved games like the Gabriel KNight series because it definatly did it's research and had a very thriving real-life aspect to it. Another Adventure/puzzle game I really admired was the Myst series, not because of it's puzzles, but because I enjoyed the atmosphere the books you read. They really added to the world. My personal contribution will be those types of additions. Giving a feeling of a bonus to the game. Instead of just having a goal, and using items to achieve that goal, I want to focus a lot more on the story behind the characters, their motives and reasons.

In the game I am producing now (which is too early in the works to show much of worth) Books are going to play heavily in just creating a backstory and providing entertainment to any who want to read them. They are not necessary, but they can be found enjoyable to some I hope. Anyways, I am ranting

Here is my very first sprite! I am amazed at how well this turned out for a kid who has never in his entire life drawn a human-shaped person nor used a paint program..Tell me what you thinkÃ,  Ã,  Ã, 



and here is an enlarged. I hope it is easily visible


Anyways, tell me what you think and sorry about that inconvenience
