Saw all four windows, everyone says that there's nothing special. Am I missing something?

Hey, man, don't even know how to enter John's House  ... there are some vines, but he says he won't climb them...

Thank you all for your comments, I'm sorry I haven't answered, I'm currently kind of busy with university, in short I had to produce a website in one day .

Anyway, I didn't see the thing of the tie, I'll fix that part and short a bit the arms, about what Darth pointed, when I was making the stick animation, I noticed the 'limpness' in the animation, I kinda liked it and got stuck with it.

Expect another C+C in these days

Thanks, and bye

During summer classes I took, my mom allowed me to drive her Fiat Selecta .   She's back to work, and now I only have to BMW.

"Austin?, I said Boston!"

"No, you sais Austin"

"No, it was Boston!"

It's Ken Silverman! :o,  w00t, no wonder why that engine looks so  damn pretty cool.

Another thing I've checked in your animation is that the torso is not moving while he walks, you should add the detail of the torso rotating according to the shoulders movement, if you do that maybe the arms won't appear to be moving extremely far. Otherwise, it looks good.

Yeah, man, I tried out your game, keep in mind that doubling the resolution also doubles the work you have to do in order to make your pics look cool (I can tell you that, my game is 640x480).  I've noticed as rodekill did that you're using a lot of filters. Filters are used in very specific situations.  

If you want to make a good background you have to learn to use that zoom feature in your favorite paint program, of course, that's a very general tip, there are a lot of good bg tutorials out there, specially custom for adventure games, you can check out Eric's (Mr. Colossal) tutorials, which are a good start.

And another thing, iron_man, don't be afraid to create a new GUI , I think we would be very glad to see new things around here.

Cheers.

Well, looks like Loom was one of those games I didn't played too much .    I didn't like too much the interface.

Hey man, quite impressive graphics you have out there , I'm really enjoying the game (twice, because I'm running it in my linux box at work ), just to point you a bug you have in the walk-behinds:



Rest of it is marvelous, keep up the good work!!!

Well, I've played games from Sierra and Lucasfilms(later Lucasarts) since a long time, and as the AGS manual says, Sierra games at the beginning where more action-oriented, as the text parser obliged you to type actions for the character, and Sierra made games much before Lucasfilms, and much before the mouse was a requirement more than a commodity (AGI and SCI0, Sierra's interpreters, were text driven, although SCI0 had mouse support, it was just for walking).  Then with SCI0 and SCI1, Sierra added a bit of conversation support (Quest For Glory is one of those games, where you can talk to a person with the "Ask about" phrase).

In short, Sierra almost never included some dialog options as Lucasfilms included. Thus, Lucasfilms entered the game business when mouse was beginning to be more common in the PC market, Maniac Mansion didn't include much talking, but the next games did, with multiple characters support.

Both companies were similar when they started in the sense that much of the game puzzles were of those annoying kind: "you didn't get that junk mail lying in the floor in your house in the first part of your game?, oooh, sorry, you need that to finish the game, please restart."    In Maniac Mansion you can "die" if the three kids get caught, in Zak McKraken you can die in even more ways, it was with DOTT when they began their "no-diying" policy.   Sierra, on the other hand, did include death scenes in almost all their games (I never played KQ7, I don't know if you can die there), and there was some hell of puzzles to die (I remember the rock stair in KQ5 ) .

Well, I'll end this post saying that Lucasarts also included 'cinematic' scenes in the middle of the game, which complemented the game very well, whereas Sierra had very sparse cutscenes. I hope this gives you a more objective view of the differences between the two companies, more than some biased opinions I've seen here .
