Well, I like freewebs myself. It's very easy to use.

I also prefer snapdrive.net to upload larger files because its free and it allows direct linking.

I don't really play any of the new console games. I'm just not that into them.

I love adventure games like the Trilby series of games, Out of Order, Nathan's second chance, Prodigal, Case of the crabs, brain hotel, That Night Before (All 4 Games in the series), and probably some others that I can't think of right now.

I also love playing older games like (thank heavens for emulators  8)) Super Mario World(My Favorite), Super mario bros. 3, and Sonic the hedgehog

oO and also Beneath a Steel Sky.

Looking good. ...But why does a guy in green t-shirt have breasts?

lol

1. Because they're supposed to be pecks :
2. I can't draw people really.  :'(

Wow, very cool drawing style.
And it sounds like a fun premise!!
I wish you much luck with this game!!!

Thanks Ozzie.

I really liked the backgrounds that Krysis did here: ronbkstyle.gif

But unfortunately I was using a lot more rooms than that(including about 5 new rooms to the series), and those backgrounds were 320 by 200, and I knew I wouldn't be able to match his style. So I just took what I loved about his style and the original styles and kind of did my own thing with them.

I've had more time to myself lately so hopefully I will be done with scripting soon.

[Trapped in Reality]

Trapped in Reality is the working title of my contribution to the Reality-On-the-Norm game series. I started the game some time ago, then abandoned it. I started it back up a while ago and added some more to the story.

I am introducing a new character, Elliot Benson, who finds himself trapped in Reality, unable to leave unless he proves that Davy Jones, who is in the town jail, is innocent of a crime.

The game parodies the Law & Order franchise. Mainly SVU, which is my favorite. (It parodies the intro, names, and sounds)

I've redone all of the original ron backgrounds to suit myself and my new rooms. They are hi res. I pretty much suck at character animation so I used eric's walk cycle template.

Features:

640x480 at 32-bit color

1 new character

New version of ROTN backgrounds.

Several new rooms.

L & O style video intro.



Screens:


as you can see, I haven't tallied up the scores as of yet.






Progress:

Backgrounds: 100%

Sound/Music: 90%

Story: 95%

Puzzles: 90%

Scripting 85%

I think that the first AGS game that I've ever played was:

"Abducted: 10 Minutes!!!" by AussieSoft.
I found it on some freeware site I was looking for games on. I went to the AussieSoft site and found AGS in one of the links.

I enjoyed it 8)

I like that idea Afflict lol. I say interpret the rules as you want.

cute date 

What does "bring a weird date" mean? I just don't understand what "date" refers to in that sentence.

Um...dating=courting. 

The character must bring someone who they have a romantic interest in. Girlfriend/Boyfriend.

Hey, thanks for the comments, I wish I would have made the story better/longer. By all means vertigo you can write something based on it, or just completely re-do it to make it a better story/graphics/puzzles.

I haven't been around much so I'm just noticing that people were having trouble downloading it. Thanks klaus for making a zip file. I have a dial up connection and I've always found it easier to compress files to rar when uploading. I use 7-Zip, by the way. Is there a better free program?

file is broken

I just used both links and had no problem with either file.

This is my first game. Its a short game for MAGS, October 2007: Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

I was originally going to do a Reality-On-The-Norm game for mags, but decided I wanted the feeling of the game to be darker since Halloween is right around the corner. I edited the Ron GUI, because I wanted colors and different cursors.


Story

Lately, Jacob has been having terrible nightmares. Nightmares that wake him up in cold sweats. Lucky for him, they are only dreams. And when he awakes, everything is back to normal. Atleast until he and his girlfriend, April, take a long trip. Then, his nightmares start to shift into reality, and Jacob must figure out what is going on before its too late.

This is my first game  8) so there is bound to be some bugs that I over looked. That's why I need beta testers before I submit it. And the graphics aren't that great, but hopefully it won't bother you too much.

I plan to enter it into the mags competition: Planes, Trains and Automobiles by Oct. 26th. So it's a MAGS/Halloween game.

320x200 at 16-bit color

- graphics 100% (Might make the cursors darker though)
- puzzles 100%
- scripting 100% (I think)  :
- music/sound 100%

SCREENSHOTS:  :o






PM me if you're interested.

I finished the game a few hours ago, i loved it. I wish it had been longer because i was so into it.

Hi,

Spoiler

I got the pen, after using the M on stewart, I speak to all friends, getting device and code from drawer, I 'm stuck. Maybe I didn't use M thing correctly? if so, then to use correctly or other things I should be doing?/hide]

Here are some hints.

Spoiler

You have to figure out what the device is

[close]

Spoiler

Which one of your friends would know what the device is?

[close]

Ok...so im stuck in the hallway. Anyone know what i should do?

I can't kill the monster. It is too fast. Is there any trick? I have tried like 10 times. I have the trident but I am to slow in finding the spot where I can hit it. Any help?

What I Did...

Spoiler

i positioned the trident right between simon and ben, so when the monster walks towards you the monster's hotspot will appear and you can click the trident on the monster

I finished with 107/107

Look for a glint somewhere in the cave.

[close]

Thanks, Gothic, i didn't think there was anything i could do with the glint since i couldnt do anything with the fresco

I'm stuck in this game

Spoiler

I'm in the cave at minatour island and i cant seem to do anything with the box or the hole
Currently in my inventory i have all 3 flowers
The sunscreen
Broken snout
2 pieces of dough
Fresh water and the translated note

[close]

Where do i go from here?

AdventureMan here is your solution.

Spoiler

If you notice, when you press the buttons they change to another color. The correct order of the buttons should be:

Blue, Green, Red, Yellow

Then you have to put the lens back in the panel and turn it back on.

Hint................

use mirror piece on outside laser
