What's wrong with Photoshop?

I've just sent it off to Kweepa. Quite a nostalgic trip through my old files, that was. I had also done pretty much the entire front-end (included too). Heh.

Ah, I did have a previous log-in. I went through a few tries (who knew it was my actual name, eh? Guh) but then just signed up again because I'm lazy. 

As it was as much Kweepa's game as mine what I'll do is I'll organise all the art into a clean Photoshop layered file and email it to him. Then he can decide what to do with it or whom to send it to, as he has a better grasp of who is who in the community.

Some courses will need to still be arted up (or the game reduced to a few holes fewer than 18), and some may need changes after play testing. I'm fine with whatever. I'd appreciate a name check in the credits with a link to my company's website, our logo in a logo splash if there ends up being one, and it'd be a bit rum if it was used to make money so as long as it stays free I don't really mind what happens with the art.


As for DevCo Quest, that one is sadly gone for good. I have the source but it doesn't open in the current version of AGS I believe. The puzzles worked 100% through the game to completion, but it just needed filling in the blank details and non-events. But halfway through a cloud of smoke layer wasn't set to "click through" so it is impossible to pick up a required item behind it, making it impossible to finish and...well　I just don't fancy ploughing through that source to fix it. And it wasn't that good either. A little knowing, and a little dev-angry (I was young(er) then).

I could be convinced to release the existing artwork (say 80% of the game) to the community, if someone wants to take on carrying the torch...

Looking for things to write about on my company blog I figured old projects that I never completed would be a good subject, with a seemingly endless supply of topics. I've been posting a couple but two that the AGS community might appreciate are the following:

DevCo Quest

The Blue Cup, Adventure Mini-golf

Both projects got quite far into development but were ultimately never finished, both of the above were made using AGS (version several.years.ago.02). More images posted in the links above.

I was never deeply involved in the community but I did my best. All this was YEARS ago. I've sadly not touched AGS since then either, but I am almost tempted to try it again (although now of course there is a team of coders I could employ, if they're not too busy doing stuff that makes us money instead). Oh well. I just thought you guys might get a bit of a kick out of these. As you were.
