Do the tutorial. Especially the part about Views and Animations.

Any of these are fine. AGS isn't picky when it comes to file formats. I'd recommend PNG though.

You could use something like this...

Code: ags

cCharacter1.SayBackground("The duodenum!");
cCharacter2.Say("The duodenum!");
cCharacter1.SayBackground(" ");

...but I'm not sure if that'll work with Sierra style speech. It will work for the default stuff, though.

To sum up my thoughts about this game in five words: Play it, it is awesome.

And sorry I couldn't help betatesting after all. Stupid real-life got in the way. 

If I had to guess, I'd say Mr. Mental Stability here was talking about images of the game (=screenshots), not the game itself.

That, or his buddy is a hacker child prodigy.

Khris, you can't just go around answering stupid questions in a calm and helpful manner but act all surprised when the people turn against you!

And let me guess... there's no way to tell if you have strong pieces until you reach the end, right?

I'll have some time from the 19th on, so... maybe?

For the cursor automatically changing, you could make clever use of the repeatedly_execute function, mouse.x, mouse.y, and Custom Properties.

... now that's what I call mood swings.

Ouch. Seriously... OUCH. I mean, street brawls? Barricades? Fire bombs? Tear gas? Good thing there are no casualities yet (apart from the unlucky teen), but if it goes on like that... urgh. I hope people calm down before a catastrophe happens.

I understand it's standard procedure to publish hentai of popular anime series under the label "parody" so you won't get copraped for selling it.

I mean... that's... uh, just something that I heard... from somebody I don't even know... yeah.

Hm. My devblog thing returns 72% woman, and yet, my posts reliably score 99% man.

I'm confused.

You can't actually use that function to SET the player's previous room - only to GET it. Using it would look like this, for example:

Code: ags

if (player.PreviousRoom==5) player.Say("I have entered the house via the broken window.");

Also, have you bothered to read the scripting tutorial?

No, you can't do this! I know some people think differently about this, but homosexuality is too horrible to be the topic of a game! Not only is it clearly banned in Leviticus 18:22,  Leviticus 20:13, Romans 1:26-27, I Corinthians 6:9 and I Timothy 1:8-11, it's also horribly unnatural! It would be nice if people were a little more sceptical about this!

Happy now? 

That's because you're supposed to send PMs, not respond directly in the thread.

Played it earlier today. The general idea... well, why not, but the implementation... rather meh, in my opinion.

gradually falling behind reality

So when do you think it'll reach us? 

There's also the awesome (and barely known) Barren. It's not a horror game per se, but still rather dark and somewhat creepy... and with a GREAT athmosphere.

Yep, that did the trick...it never occured to me the error could be in THAT function... 

Anyway, thanks for the quick assistance.
