Ooh, this looks interesting.
Keep up the good work. And if you ever need help with coming up with puzzles, or perhaps drawing inventory icons, feel free to ask.

The Great Escape?

Is Stupot+ the murderer who killed AnasAbdin? He's the only one large enough to kill someone with the leaning tower of Pisa.

No, sorry. Irrespective of the character, it's just not a very good performance. It's probably partly the way the actor is trying to do a "hard-boiled" voice, but you also have several stumbles and half-swallowed syllables that just don't sound professional. E.g. in the first sentence, she doesn't enunciate "were prepared" properly, and then when she gets to "I arrived" it comes out more like "I 'rive'". I don't think anyone is able to follow her rushing through "a victim of the violence we bring on each other in pursuit of our dreams turned to nightmare" on first listen, but the writing is just as much to blame for that. But then next you get "junior agent Reyes" all slurred together as well, and there's no excuse for that, unless it's that it's just way too much monologue in way too short a time.

You must have a very keen ear, because I don't think anyone can hear any stumbles or half-swallowed syllables (or at the very least, nowhere near as many as you can). The voice actor seemed to speak quite clearly to me, although you make it sound like she was talking with the strongest Yorkshire accent imaginable.

Congratulations Avirosb. You deserve it!

Yep, that code is written perfectly.

As for why you can't move your character and the scaling not working. I'm guessing your character isn't in a walkable area. You might want to try changing the coordinates that the character goes to when you change to that room.

I think I might know what the problem is.
It's got nothing to do with the door, the problem is when you leave the room.
In the "Leave room" field in the Events tab of the room, is something that's pointing to a function called "room_Leave" which apparently doesn't exist.
So just take out that call to "room_Leave" and you should be good to go.

Hmm... I'm not sure what the problem is. The code you gave definitely works.
Just to clarify, you are using the hand icon on the door aren't you?
You've got this code in the interaction function of the door, so you need to actually interact with the door.

If that isn't the problem, can you confirm that "hDoor_Interact()" is in the "Interact object" field on the object in the room editor?

Wow, this sounds like it's going to be awesome!
And that artwork, simply beautiful. I can't wait.

I know this is going to sound stupid, but is the murder weapon the leaning tower of Pisa?

I Personally prefer the bottom one. It matches more with the artstyle.

Maybe someone should lock the thread.

I'm considering doing one this time, but if I do it will be a short joke "not a game" type of game, so it won't be any stiff competition!

I wouldn't sell yourself short.
I rather enjoy short joke games.

Ooh, looks interesting.
Keep up the good work!

Because I'm asking about something you put in spoiler tags, I'm going to put my question in spoiler tags.

You say you need to look for and click on the enemy snipers, thus creating a Where's Wally type of gameplay. But won't that be really easy with how the sprites pop out from the background?

Wow, that background is incredible. I wish I could draw backgrounds that good.

Where The Wild Things Are?

Wes Craven's New Nightmare?

Odd ball question: Did the original intent of RoN actually involve a canon, or any sort? I initially thought it was offering up a group of "actors" that non-artistic folk, like me, could use to build games and tell stories. Seems like the "canon" is interfering with that, now. I'm not up to speed on the canon, and since some of the games are no longer around/runnable, there will always be holes in my RoN universe. I think, maybe, we should fire RoN's canon, and begin treating the assets as assets.

Like Retro Wolf said, there's nothing stopping you from simply ignoring the canon.
Personally though, I think nuking the canon would be a bad idea, since people will no doubt be attached to it. A better idea would be to create a whole new RoN type series. Although that might be a bit difficult to do in terms of assets.

It seems as though everyone has very similar ideas about how a Webisodic Adventure game should be like. So my best advice would be to try and average out our responses.
