@ Monkey_05_06 : Any post you feel was your first post will do.

LoL @ Darth

ROFLMAO @ Zooty

And overall I'm glad to see were all human, and AGS has actually made us better people. This is indeed turning out to be an interesting thread.

Post is hidden not to influence others opinion

I'm not too keen on the Bugs Bunny intro. The rest of the song sound ok, @ 2h13 it just goes a bit over the top.

I REALLY like the intro after the talking part. Maybe just tone the scream down a notch or two.

Great work so far.

Ok, lo_res_man said something that made me go and read my first AGS posts  :o

I was sorta shocked at the bad grammar, spelling mistakes and over all attitude. So I thought it would be quite a laugh if everybody posted there first AGS post.

Though my first is by far not my worst, (Shamefully) I think you can also add what you think to be your worst post.

Edit : Heres a link to my first posts summary : (So you guys don't have to click a couple of times  http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?action=profile;u=3805;sa=showPosts;start=1220

Edit : Ok I would now like to apologize to all the ppl that I was a complete ass to. I really can't believe I wrote those posts. I am just glad that eventually it sort of started getting better, anyway this was a rude awakening.

 :o

I just re-read my first posts and man that is indeed scary! Geez that sucks. Anyway I have to say that I think I made some progress from the deranged noob to a little less noob

That was however fun to see & read cause it felt like someone else's posts  : Thanks for the reminder lo_res_man.

This could make for an interesting thread on its own. Your first AGS post

Congrats! That first time you get money it's awesome (The money you work for)

I never really got a check I just got money paid to me cash or transferred into my account.

My first amount of cash I made was just over a R1000 round about $142 when I was helping out someone in need of a waiter (I made that in tips in one night for about 6 hours There was no basic money to be paid as tips would be the waiters only income) Got to love the drinking folk

Anyway I was still in school and that kept me going for quite awhile. (Movies etc.)

When I actually started working after school I saved the money I didn't give to my mom and bought my PC Which is now I think only still the motherboard, CPU, Monitor & 512mb I haven't upgraded well I added more ram, a new gfx card & a new dvd writer... wait theres more a new mouse,  Headphones & a new case with better cooling solution

This is fun

I thought I'd be nice and give it to him since it was open and all

Get Steve McRea's 3D Module and Plugin Here

LoL yeah jsut slow it down some

The Diagonal looks brilliant Bravo!

Lets just say the plp that create the games should post a walk through up on the wiki (Well when they are good and ready )

And AGS is designed for making adventure games, and is much easier to make a game than Flash, where you have to make everything from scratch.

Dude I didn't say flash is better your getting it wrong your obviously not reading any of my posts. I merely suggested that putting it in flash would save loads of filesize and have more exposure since the game was solved in about 15 minutes anyway. A suggestion that is fair simply because I am sure Hillbilly has flash.

When I said Flash sucks, I didn't mean flash sucked as a whole, just that it sucks for adventure games.
First as far as my experience goes you can't save games in flash, and that's crucial in an adventure game.

Yes you can save in flash like I said you obviously don't know it that well.

If Lassie is so great howcome there's only FOUR complete games made in it?   

Well for the most part I will assume because no one is gonna buy flash to use lassie unless they already own flash. That's sort of logical...

And there aren't thousands of flash adventure games, there are only a few. Most games under the "adventure" category in flash sites are actually platform, shooters and other forms of action games. And I don't consider all those escape the room games full adventure games, they're more like One room hour games, with a play time of maximum 5-10 minutes with an overused unoriginal concept, they don't really count.

MMM well to be honest most of the AGS games get solved in a couple of minutes... And no there are some of the most amazing adventure games I have ever played made in flash. Not just that I actually played some games that might even evolve the genre as a whole.

This is the AGS forum, and people here like to make adventure games with AGS, because it's easier to make games with it and friendlier to play adventure games with.
Basically what you're doing here is like going to an automated machines factory that makes a product and preaching how much better it will be if they change their method to making the products by hand only without machines to help them.

No what I am doing here was simply as stated above made a suggestion to Hillbilly. Then you had a issue about it, I clearly stated that I don't think flash is better than AGS but you seem to miss that the whole time. I think absolutely that AGS is the best Free Indi development tool out there for Adventure games. It has a very good support community in place, keeps on getting updated and upgraded and is completely free. You go on insulting flash, for no reason... I take offense to that even though we are in the AGS forum. I did not tell the whole community to flock over to Lassie and start making Flash games I merely pointed someone with the interest towards the tool. Just like I would point anyone who would like to make adventure games to AGS.

It's a lost cause - Flash is not better than AGS for adventure games in any way. Now let's give this a rest, Hillbilly already said he wouldn't do the game in Flash.

I simply request for you to read what was written. I thought this flash thing was put to rest a couple of posts ago, your the one digging it up.

*Here is the part where I apologize to Hillbilly for the clutter on his game thread.

Kudos for the 1.1 patch mate.
But how come 1.1 is 66megs compared to 1.0 which was 125megs ?

The compressed version is 66 Mb Uncompressed its 160mb, I am not sure why the one you have is 125mb 

Hillbilly?

Awesome entries everyone! Krysis I really like your second entry more

Buloght your friend really knew how to sketch!  :o

I guess the main differences between the clean vector style and the painted bg is the texture that is used while painting. Notice there is no texture in your bg, in regard to the plain colors.

I really like this style I use the same style myself. I would suggest color variances within the same space or textures.

I haven't actually tried it I might later, but logically this is what I think your after.

Keep up the awesome work.

I noticed that, the longer I delay a project the more likely I can just put it in the trash can. Sad reality, anyway I like the idea of finding little ways to amuse myself when making the game and keeping myself motivated like that thanks ProgZmax.

LimpingFish seriously the screenies on Unbound look amazing! It reminds me of myst for some reason, so at least I'll play it So I hope thats not a nobody in your book

http://lassie.gmacwill.com/

Tada Flash AGS anyway I mean haven't you guys seen Nearly Departed? Or What makes you tick ?

Anyway I'm all for indy development heck, just haven't got around to mess around with Lassie yet.
The guy doesn't mind people using it for indy games.

Hillbilly seriously I think that the ppl on new grounds would love this to be honest you might even get  a daily feature which will get you probably 100k plus views Also the size will be more than half probably 30 - 40 mb

Depends on how you build it. But check out Lassie you might enjoy it

I disagree fully with the previous statement. There are thousands of adventure & room escape games made in flash.

The file size will be reduced dramatically for various reasons. Eg:
* Vector graphics
* Sound & Graphic Compression
* swf vs exe file size
* no videos since the elements are vector and animated directly in flash so no avi files

Anyway the total music and voice files after extraction for this game is 11,434kb + 11,179 so thats between 22 - 23 mb the rest of the files amount to 138 mb

So you can by more than half the games original size with flash ( Total being about 160mb )

So Nostradamus my friend you say flash sucks yet it seems you don't know it well at all, I can say Lamborghini's have crappy handling and that would be about the same as your flash statement since Ive never driven a lambo.

Anyway I don't think this is the thread to be talking about this we are cluttering Hillbillies Game thread.

Edit : Just wanted to add that flash is expensive & AGS is free and for a free program it's amazing how awesome it is. By no means am I saying that Flash is better than AGS I was merely suggesting to Hillbillie (since the gfx looks like it was made in flash) to maybe do a flash version, for more exposure.

Earl Mansin - "It's a diploma for most successful executions of the month" 

I think there were a couple more, but anyway it was an awesome game all round.

Throw yourself off a cliff in an attempt to commit suicide?

Hopefully not, jackass!

That would explain why so many WiP threads just fade away.

My best advice is to take a break for a weekend or two and then get back into it the next week But then again my game has been on hold for ages

Kewl thread Snake.

Nostradamus, the reality is the AGS community is really not that large. I respect most of the members here and have grown to love this place. (I mean who doesn't)

Anyway the fact of the matter is Flash doesn't suck. I am on a DSL connection yeah  so whoopie I download pretty fast, the point is just if this game was in flash it would probably be like 5 meg and thousands more ppl will probably play it.
