Windows movie maker allows you to record with your webcam. Not sure if it can also add sound. Outputting as AVI should be pretty much standard.

Also it would be nice if everyone could point out where they found these typos 

It's not always easy tracking them down

Thanks for the nice comments! 
I can assure you that I didn't pay Jon nor Bicilotti to say those things 

eek! Errors  :o

Will look into those typos. I knew there had to be some catch when making auto saves seemed so easy lol. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this?

EDIT:

I've changed the slot it saves it on "1". It seems to work just fine.

Your name is Alex. Some time ago you took a job that seemed like a dream.
But it was a scam and soon you find yourself deep into the underworld.
You are being blackmaled by a criminal named Ryan. He wants you to
steal an artifact from a mansion that appears long abandoned.
But the mansion is not so empty as you expected....

A project started mainly for testing but grew into a small horror game.

Those were made in UnrealEd though. And I realize the screens I've showed so far don't show any of the characters.

I'll soon try to model a character that fits with the bedroom bg and see how I can manage to make hi/her at 320x240 resolution.

owh I feel a bit silly now. But I didnt want to try that because I didnt want to mess up something. 

I've noticed something strange ( and thought I would post here instead of making another topic)

If I click the "is this your game then you can edit etc" it load the page no matter what game I do this with.

Did you make me admin or something? 

.Thanks for the comments everyone!

@Evil:

I does look a little more pixely in game. I'll try to give the door some more shadows. Now that I think of it. I'm not sure if I told all the lights for the light bulb to cast shadows. The weird shadow by the window is actually correct. But the light source is placed really high from above. I'll place it a little lower.

I must admit the second background was a bit rush on the modeling part. I'm not good at organic modeling so I've used flat textures to make the trees and bushes. The path suppose to make a turn left. I now realize it's not very clear. If I'm really going to make this game I'll try to model some trees. Or get someone who can to do it for me.

@Mr Flibble:

They are indeed a bit dark. If I would be making a game like this I would of course include a gamma slider but I guess they still could use some brightening. I'm still getting used to lighting in 3ds max. I'm so used to Unreal's lighting system. But I'll see if I can get it to give the effect on more parts of the room.

@TerranRich:

Yes, I'm all for a dark mood. I however don't want too many people complaining about it being too dark.

I'll see if I can smooth out the terrain a bit. I originally wanted rocks and grass but that looked weird with the trees.

@Questionable:

I'm not sure what's wrong with the wall tiling all around? But I can understand that you might not feel that the brick texture fits very well. As this was for testing I had been a bit lazy and used a texture of a project I had already made.

Well as I said in my first post. I sort of remade a bg from Ben Jordan 4. I wasn't sure what to make so I just did a search for Ben Jordan on Google and found an image I recreated in my own style.

oh boy you got me all figured out lol. The trees and bushes are all just textures I've made from photo's. As preparing these is alot of work I copy pasted a few of them  .

I'll try to smooth down the terrain and make the path look like it's actually going somewhere.

Thanks! I'll certainly take more time and thought next time when creating these. Especially if they are going to be used for a game.


Thanks again for the comments so far! 

I've been practicing modeling. And making BG's in 3d and then make them look pixely:





These were just for practice. The bedroom has the same composition as the bedroom in BJ 4.
the second bg follows a concepts for a game I had in mind.

I've started playing this and it's a funny little game.

What I would like to see for your next game is:

- getting some more usefull feedback on your actions. And some better discriptions. Too many things said "nothing happened" and some items didnt have a discription.

- lots of puzzles (so far) were:  get an item and use it on something. Try to be a little more creative.

I thought the grahics were nice. As already been mentioned the rooms where way too big. What might have been a good idea is to have had Chris' room and his room beside it in game room. If you know what I mean.

but for the rest the gfx were cute, so keep it up. 

yay yay! Finally there is a light at the end 

I don't know you very well but I just want to wish you all the best! You seem like a lovely couple!

Take care! 

How can I resist a BETA testing veterain 

check your messages.

Can't wait for the version with voice acting. I have to force myself to wait for that.

Say cheese! 

I'm looking for some beta testers:

http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=30347.msg455762#msg455762

The game is almost complete. Just a few things need to be changed and improve. And I expect that the beta testers will also have some suggestions.

But you can expect it pretty soon. 

I'm looking for a few (1 or 2... maybe 3) BETA testers for my game

You can find more info about the game in this thread:
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=34076.msg443670#msg443670

The game is relatively short so won't absorb too much of your time.

here's a screenshot to get you interested 

So cool how Crystal shard keeps releasing one quality game after another. Although they are usually so brilliant that I need a walkthrough all the way.

I love the voice acting! It was really funny. You are the only person I could play a kids game from.

I've just watched the trailers, I couldn't find them before. I did recognize some games I've played. It's funny how the trailers say " proud to present". Surely most of the people most of known what was going on.
