Impressive... most impressive...
The Emperor will be pleased.

nobody mentioned these:

Maggie from The Dig
Annie from Zak 

that place remembers me the old movie Labyrinth, the one with David Bowie you know. I could suggest you to take inspiration there but I can't remember the ending 

However,is there any reason that brings you inside the labyrinth? Maybe you should think about an ending together with a more concrete beginning.
Typically, normal life is stopped by a big problem and you are supposed to restore everything with your voyage...

If I remember well, David kidnapped the girl's little brother...  think about something similar. Actually, an enemy (not David!) could fit your story well...

Well I hope it's the right place to post thisÃ, 

We at Double Star Entertainment are starting the development of our first adventure game. Our name is Double Star because we are twoÃ,  ;DÃ,  I (programmer & musician) and a cool 3d artist: Iceberg23.

The storyboard is ready, but making all those 3d graphics will take some time, and I (programmer) don't want to sit down waiting.
So my idea (that has nothing new actually!) is to make "fake" room graphics (I mean 4 or 5 lines made in ms paintÃ,  ) and use default characters to begin programming. Then, when the cool graphics are ready, just replace them.
I am not an AGS guru yet, that's why I would like some comments, tips, advice about what can be done and what I should be careful with while putting this idea into practice.

Thanks!

Whoops!

I found the other thread posted just a few time ago (I made the search today, when it wasn't posted yet!), asking about entering an open door. If you want to answer the door question, do it there:

http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?topic=17551.0

However, I STILL have problems with my title! "The" or not "The"?

Ok, I studied tutorials very hard these last days, and I was successful in battles like creating a Lucas-style GUI all by myself. But I still don't realize what's the best way to handle a stupid door! Simply, a door that you can open and that will lead you to another room.

Well, I use two objects: closed door and open door (is it good?).Ã, 
Then I set the closed door to disappear when interacted and make the open door appear.
Now comes the problem. In your games, which event triggers the transition?
I want the player to "walk to door", once it's open, to leave the current room.
I use the "any click on object" interaction, the action I put in is: if cursor mode is 0Ã,  Ã, then change room. But it doesn't seem to work at all. why?
I tried with regions too: the transition works but it happens as soon as you open the door (=not the way I want).

The second great question isÃ,  : I'm calling my next game "Jimmy Nand vs. The Evil Dr. Xor". Is it correct, or I should remove that "The" ?

Thank you!
ByeÃ,

I'm not yet experienced enough to offer a valid help in any field (I'll update this post when I'll be ), however, if you want your English game to speak Italian or vice versa, I would be proud to help. My contact: arrakis81@DONTSPAMlibero.itÃ,  Ã,  (...whitout the caps of course!)

Thank you all very much! 

Now that even my technical doubts are gone (thanks Calamity) I think I'll go get it tomorrow ...

Hello everybody!
The other day I was searching something useful in a cheap-computer-stuff basket in a shop. Among several copies of the usual "100 shareware stupid games" compilation, I found a quite old box containing "Prisoner of Ice" cdrom. Price: 10 Euro (6.80 pounds more or less).
To those who have played it: is it worth that money? I remember it had great graphics and HP Lovecraft related story, but what about its length and difficulty? Well, it's a good price of course, but I wanna know if this game is going to last more than two hours on my HDÃ, 

Thanks for your comments, bye!

No doubt for me: THE best is X-Wing!
(expecially now that I could find X-wing collector series: X-Wing and TieFighter for Win98 with XWvsTF graphics engine!)

Best Soundtrack and Atmosphere: the old DUNE by Cryo, anybody remembers? That's where my passion for Frank Herbert's masterpiece was born.

I was looking for some abandoware when I found The new adventures of Zak McKracken.
That's where it all started  8)

  Hello everybody!

I've just joined the forum and thought this was the right place for my very first post!!!

Here at Double Star Entertainment we have just begun to work on our first AGS game, and you can bet you'll read my name quite often in the Beginners Technical Questions forum!Ã,  ???Ã, 

I'm happy to be here, with all you three-headed monkeys! Hi again!!!!

..oh, and here's our site :
Arrakis81 - Double Star Entertainment HOME

There is every single development in our project, and also some links to nice freeware AGS and other games.
You are all invited to give it a look (and sign guestbook if you want)... c'mon, let me think making an English version was usefulÃ,
