Looks very interesting.
Sanou, I am a bit curious. How did you manage to use Japanese with AGS? I tried it one or two years ago and gave up in the end...

That reminds me that you actually had to call the LucasArts Hotline in Monkey Island 2. What a brilliant idea that wa 

Some American insider joke I guess 

For a limited time, you can get Bryce 5.0 for free on the Daz-webpage. Many people like it for making landscape-backgrounds or even architecture.

(I hope nobody already wrote about this, but a forum search did not show up any results)

The second guard is the guard inside the building or the one in front of the building... Did you realise that you can make her go forward and backward when you actually talk to her? And do you realise you can do "something" from the upper level?

A new Dave-Game... can't wait! 

Hey guys, remember me I am so proud of you you finished it! Congratulations!!!!

Pablo, What do you mean it's not a good idea? I mean, hell, that's what all sane people here on the board have been waiting for for so many years! What a happy day it is 

Yayyyy Long Trip is really going to come  Go for it, Dusty! TSCHAKKA 

Maybe he is gay?     (Just kidding, don't be angry please!)
I am really suprised my sprite really caused a lot of discussion about manga-style realistic style etc. To be honest I did not think of Manga style at all, but I was not going for something realistic either. Maybe when I get more used to pixel-art I can really start thinking more about a certain style. For the moment I am just happy when they look nice in any way 
Thanks again for all advise 

What he wants to say that Japanese people have a complex and always think that foreign stuff is better than Japanese stuff. But I just do love my Japanese sprite 

Kinoko, SpacePirateCaine... it's a bit off topic at this point, but I am "back to Japan" in April 

Woah, that titles screen is really shocking and impressing  :o

They have to open at least a little bit like this:

I hope that makes sense.

I know what you mean and I want to thank you for pointing it out, but many Japanese girls actually have their feet like that \  /   
(I think that's what Kinoko meant about the bowed legs)

Wow,  :o the face really looks much better now. Thank you, Kinoko for your advise, and thank you to Khrismuc and Scotch for the paint overs. It does not look that much complicated, but really much better. I will copy it in my paint programme and look exactly at how you did that.  I really love what you two did with the eyes and the lips!
It is my first real sprite indeed, but, as I said at the top, I pixeld over a CG, as recommended in Eric's famours tutorial
Kinoko: I am not definetely going for a "Anime" or "Manga" style, but does not 100% have to go for a realistic style either... so some blond Japanese are acceptable

Well, it's a one room game. So to get out of the room, you have to finish the game... So since you seem to be stucked, you might like to tell people here where exactly you are stuck, so we can help you with your problem, or use a walkthrough.

Last time I talked to Susan she was still making it, but also looking for some people to help her out... and we sort of said that we could help her out "later" after some other business is finished. She is very ambitious, so I don't think she has cancelled it.

can you email me all your work on the game? I want to continue the project.

Who would not 

Okay, I want to get more serious about pixeling characters. I used a reference cg as a reference for the basic outlines, but I made colouring, shading etc. all by myself. I know the shading is still very basic, but I would like to keep it simple so that the character could possibly be animated. I am also not happy with the face yet... it looks a bit scary to me  So I am happy about any advise to improve it a little

Maybe even just have a Tutorial thread for graphics?

Have you evern seen the thread entitled "Tutorials" in the critic lounge?
