Still up for grabs then

Ghost you win XCOM! Unless you already have it :p

I have a game where the player is rewarded for naming a character Sid Meier.

Name the game and you will be rewarded

Awesome Khris, that would be a great help! I was looking for a way to have the text box expand on height and width when it opens, so the Chrono Cross style example will be invaluable

I wasn't really trying to imitate the RPG vibe (i've saved that for a parody battle mechanic), but was playing Kingdom Hearts and got inspired by their GUI design. I've made a pseudo battle system that uses inventory items as weapons, i'm using it as a puzzle mechanic so all the actions are pre scripted. Would be interesting to have a look at how you made your timer!

Thanks again Khris!

Ack, okay i'll look into creating my own message box I was using the 'New text window GUI' option previously, is there any documentation for setting up a normal GUI as a text window?

Thanks for help

Does anyone have any tips? Sorry for the bump, i'm a bit stumped on this one!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

You guys rock, these podcasts are the perfect inspiration for game making. For that i thank yee!

Pixels <3

On a more serious note, do we have a majority aversion to 320x240? I've always preferred having the square(ish) aspect ratio, backgrounds feel more cosy 

My weapon has an itch, that only your death can scratch!

My weapon has a fuse! Here, catch.

You call that a ship? I've seen bigger Barnacles!

Hello faithful Internet family! I have a game making question.

I'm trying to display a small image in the bottom right of my message box for the display command, I'm looking to have a looped animation play, like in traditional RPG's. Is there a way to retrieve the x and y coordinates of a text window edge? Or maybe the bottom right of a text window GUI?

I'm guessing after getting the coordinates I'll be able to check if the text window GUI is on and display another GUI with the graphic at the x and y. Am I looking at this the right way? I have a habit of doing these things ass backwards

Mucho thanks!

He looks like a young Nigel Thornberry! I like it, the shadows are too dark in the dramatic one, causing the contrast to go a bit off. Anian makes some good suggestions.

Fortune and glory, kid. Fortune and glory.

This too! Haha, great reply

Honestly i just want to show off all i've learnt from this community for the past ten years.

Heya~! I'm Jenjen. I'm 26 and I live in the USA. I'm currently working on learning how to use AGS, but I've worked on making stuff in Flash before and I'm finding it pretty self-explanatory so far. I'm trying to get a degree in Game Art. I enjoy crafting settings and stories that make people uncomfortable in a very personal way. I feel that it's a deeper fear for supernatural horror than just 'scared'.
I run and rarely play a good deal of table-top roleplay games. My favorite of which would be World of Darkness. I've given my players nightmares for weeks and got to thinking maybe I should turn this toward some game design and see where I can go with it.
I *always* need more practice. Feel free to contact me about drawing anything at all. I also livestream drawing when a new episode of the My Brother My Brother and Me podcast comes out. I livestream various games at random times beyond that, mostly League of Legends with strange rules tagged on.

I hope I'll get to know you guys, learn some great tricks and get out a little something to show what I learn in the next few months!

Sounds like you will be a fine addition to the adventure game genre! Welcome spewnybard

brilliant voices, nice find

To finally feel what it is like to have released one of these fabled 'point and clickers'

Holding of this space for me!

Oh noes! Are you ditching the pixels Technocrat? You were getting really good, the backgrounds are lovely

Looks brilliant san.daniele, a very charming style and totally unique! I look forward to seeing how the story elements blend in, glad to see you're nearing completion

I like this thread!

I had a go at more cartoony approach to the face, I didn't touch your colours (thinking now that the skin is a little dark) but pushed some pixels around. Not sure if it's any help.
