Weird, however I have no problem running the actual game, just the setup.

Anyway seems a strange little game I'll try it this afternoon. Cheers

When I clicked the ags setup of your game, it loads the main menu of The Longest Journey O_O


D:

The main concept of the game is charming. The graphics and animations are among the best I've seen here. Especially the graphics have that casual games look but manage to maintain a warmth and personality most casual games don't. The music is also nice suiting the game very well!

but

*retard alert*

Ummm I can't really figure out what I'm supposed to do. Tried some things died 3 times then stopped playing and resumed browsing the forum/listening to david sanborn.

Edit: lol ok finished it, congrats that was really nice!

A person is judged historically by it's surrounding society. Saying "Ghandi was racist" is telling half the truth.



And your last sentence is exactly why I wrote here. Well done dude, I hope you get your chance to prove everyone that legends are human and hey, we're all crap. I on the other hand don't give a tiny rats ass if ghandi was a rapist. Now he is insipring people to do good things and that's what matters more than your truth.

It also serves no purpose when talking about a global symbol of peace on a video game.

When you study einstein in high school you don't study the mistakes he did when he was 9. Even if this was a 3 hour documentary I find little purpose in wasting a minute for this stuff. If he was making a history book for university level students then yes I would totally agree with you, and it would be very informative and usefull to know why he changed his mind later on.

However this is an ags game and it's called "a warm look".

Edit: sorry for being off topic. *stops*

Oh Khris, GOD FORBID that an Indian in 1890 was racist against blacks.

That's why -thankfully- later on there was a superior nation that followed a racist bigot who did NOT preach love and forgiveness. Its all about being yourself on tv.

I love the graphics, seriously looking forward to play this. Good luck!

It's a rather complicated issue. But I can tell you this, if you release your music (either by a label, self label, freeware, or WHATEVER as long as you can prove you have released it) it IS in fact "copyrighted"  (the correct term is in french droit d'auter- the rights of the creator, not so much "money-focused" )to you the author.

The thing is to demand compensation from someone making profit from your work however it's much more complicated. You have to  have the proper paperwork, prove you were losing money because of him, he had intention to steal your work etc etc and each country has it's own set of rules. If you live in the US i believe it's relatively cheap to get your music protected. But seriously I don't think it is necessary for a freeware game.

And anyways it was more fun back in the day when a musician made his living from shows and there were like 2 records released each year. Nowdays they made music a commodity instead of a service.

umm ok sorry then!

Are you sure you cannot find actors/voice actors just starting out who could do this for their portfolio? I'm pretty sure you could lure some of them, even more so if you tried to promote the game even more than the last one. You could also offer them in game credit and maybe links to their sites or something. My personal un-informed opinion is that you're better off with a freeware game at this point of your career.

Best of luck with your game!

Don't be so insecure. "you know nothing about gravity" you=the wannabe creator not you=Calin


Anyway I'm off, you're right we are programs in some machine, and we can simulate life et cetera that's why we haven't even start to make the slightest AI


*is gone before someone claims Half-Life 2 had excellent AI*

ok this is getting old. I'll explain this and then I'm out of the topic. I can't seriously continue arguing in a topic that someone claims we have true gravity in games and that I proved god.


Ok in games you have "gravity" in the sense that you have a "force" that pulls certain sprites to the bottom of the screen. Gravity (in contrast to "gravity") is something a tad more complex. It is essential to life, possibly gives birth to life, kills life, makes you age and gives scientists a nice headache. You can make a build of a game without "gravity", you can't have life, molecules, matter, possibly dimensions or whatever without real gravity.

Btw Calin once again you either too eager to disagree or you don't think before posting. You say the laws of physics are descriptive not prescriptive, and if I am to say the are preblahblah I proved god,

like OH MY GOD, we're talking about a universe YOU want to create!!! If you DO create it then OFCOURSE the laws you set are prescriptive and you ARE god.

And you're presupposing we can create something completely alien.

With the sole exception of baseball not once mankind has created something totally alien.

If you're to create a world even a simplified world you need to have at least (again an example) gravity. Well you know squat about gravity.

Unless you're under the impression you're gonna set gravity to 3 like you're in yoyo Game Maker and an inteligent life form will come out of it.


And anyway even if you want someone to agree to get some satisfaction (we all do sometimes =P) I'll forget my objections and say for the sake of the conversation that you are right. Even so it does not matter at all. The world we're living is a closed system. Nothing can go outside of it. No energy, no human, no information for what may or may not be outside. So even if we are a in a dragon's dream or a bubble universe generated by the erection of Lady Gaga we would never know.

Well you may disagree but I still think that in order to make an identical universe you need to know this one. You can't throw a bunch of cogs and expect them to turn into a clock.

Plus that is kind of a cheapshot,you first go talking about "simulating the world" and then you're like "a universe in whatever form you decide"

Anyway consider this as well. In order to simulate a world, even if it's not identical to ours exactly but resembles it, you cannot go like (for example) Ok the sun attracts the earth with *enter specific number* so much force, and the moon goes at that speed, ok let;s go to the next solar system.

You need to establish the very few, very basic principles that govern our universe as well. From these very few "commands" comes your simulated world, building itself.

Otherwise we're talking about a large scale "second life"  or WoW program with no intelligence.


There was a JRPG that dealt with this subject, can't remember which one though. Haven't played it just read it somewhere, you may be interested in it!

PS: I think it was Star Ocean

uh, yes I think your logic is flawed, even if we ever have the hardware that could support a full simulation of the universe we'd still have to achieve a full understanding and knowledge of how the universe works (and possibly why it works the way it does) to program that simuation. So far we are nowhere near and I believe it's up to philosophical debate if we will ever achieve that level of understanding, the whole "the creation cannot surpass the creator" thingie.

I'm not an expert on the subject, in fact it's an uneducated opinion but that's my impression so far

Also how do you feel about being a simulated lifeform?

So we'd have complete life/death control over an intelligence etc etc, that's more or less God. I don't believe in God, and I believe we are monkeys. I hope we never achieve that. I feel bad enough when people throw away old stuff >.<

It just doesn't create a save file, doesn't pop an error message or anything. I was playing it on a cheap 1,6Ghz intel netbook under winxp if that's any help, I'll try it on another pc and see if it works. Glad to hear there will be more games

So am I the only one who can't save in this game?

Other than that so far (I left the game some days ago to the point you make cheffie happy =P) the game is really really good in my opinion. The graphics and music are good, the dialogues very nice, and the whole feel of the world makes me want to play this again and hope for more. Well done

I took a break from cartooning for a few years and have recently gone back. I am now attempting to syndicate myself to newspapers on my own. Wish me luck. More of my funny cartoons are on my website at http://www.normandcompany.com/

Dude you shouldn't say your "funny cartoons". Not cool. Unless you're a spam-borg.

Good luck tho, hope you get a job in the papers!
