LOL  brilliant

aww, I've been neglecting this board too much and the posting of tunes! But I won't be able to make any soon, midnight you say

[Edited by mod:]

O RLY?

Edited by mod: Please don't quote the whole post with large images, especially when it's just the last post before yours. Thank you.

You won't get in trouble (at least not at first), you'll just get a letter from a lawyer telling you to stop production. What are the chances of that? Roll the dice ....

it will be a free AGS game so there won't be much stopping of production.

Just bear in mind that gamers are far more critical of a fan game than they are about something original.

I'll try to make it an original fan game =)
It's more or less not based on Guybrush though, so it's kinda less of a fan game than the standard fan game.

Heh, the idea with this game is still to make a game good enough to share, and if it is, I will =)

Thanks, I guess I'll just leave that out then, just to be safe. Atleast it'll be a challenge to get around that and still use the idea. It's going to be my "warm-up/training game" before I make my longer( and hopefully full length) AGS game I already started with.

I'm going to make a game that's gonna be about a dream that Guybrush has, so is it possible to make an avi of a tiny certain part from monkey island 3 and use it as an intro without getting any trouble about copyright violation or whatever?
Ofcourse it goes without saying that I'm gonna put Lucasarts in the credits, since it's kind of a spinoff thingy I guess.

Hi, first of all I'd like to thank Nihilyst for taking over this compo for me, you did a great job, cool idea to let people make their own lines.

Manicmatt: I was waiting for a guy from the carribeans, instead it was some other foreign dude, not that it really mattered. Pretty good work on the lines, decent voices.

yodaman: Yours didn't really have a bigger difference between characters than ManicMatt's entry, still this was also a cool entry.

Both didn't have many effects, but that's ok , the ones you guys made were still decent. Not much else to comment on so it was a bit difficult to choose. Since this compo contains a new element we didn't have yet(make up your own lines) I chose to take this into consideration too.

Ok enough blabbing, the winner is ManicMatt , I quite liked your lines, it really felt like a good weird conversation with the cab driver.

Come on and give us a cool new compo! 

sure, I might enter anytime soon

Um sorry I'm having a big writers-block and my finals are coming quite soon, so mind if I pass this one on to Nihilyst? I could try and write something but it would be poop at the moment. Brainfarts aint cool.

Not complete: Need some shadows and maybe other instruments.

hah that one is nicely stolen and adjusted!


the real version


Sorry to be such a partypooper but I just thought you should know this

Whoops, not my intention to make him sound gay , but yeah I wasn't that satisfied with him either, oh well.

So thanks and I'll try to whip up a cool script for yall.

Wow thanks a lot! It's working, it has some bugs though but I'll just try and fool around a bit with it.

Very nice background ^_^ Is that table with the glass, bottle and ashtray an important part in the bg? If not, it might be nice to bring that part to the background(of the background ) by desaturating and darkening it.
You could also put some texture on a whole bunch of things, unless  you want to keep it clean.
Oh and the overal could maybe be a bit darker, whatever you want.

I'm using 2.71? hm

Ok I guess it's better to post the code. I left the cursor over hotspot thing in incase there was something important in there(probably some junk in there too from fooling around with the verb coin) Another problem I have is that I can't use the verb-coin in my custom inventory, so any help with that is also very much appreciated.

//0 WALK
//1 LOOK
//2 USE

no fair, that's a real orchestra . Veery nice one!

Well here's my entry, not very happy with the voices but hey, I got some rock in there to make up for it? ^_^

http://media.putfile.com/Psych0F0x---Voice---Nasty-n-Duke

I'm talking about both, at first I didn't think that thread covered what I was talking about but I see it at the last posts. I can't really figure all those snippets of code out, I'm very new to this. I guess it could work by putting it in on_mouse_click, but I couldn't really get that to work.

What could I put in on_mouse_click so i'm able to click somewhere else while the character is already walking towards the hotspot/object with the intention of interacting/looking/talking/walking with it? And is it possible to get the walk-to coords of a hotspot/object?

I adjusted the last few frames so you can actually see him jump out of the hole. Here's my entry http://media.putfile.com/Psych0F0x---Assassin
