Can't you just run the game at its native resolution in window mode, and take a screenshot then (press ALT + PrtScrn). It'd probably save you the hassle of recreating a screenshot.

Wow, that's a beautiful improvement!

Just seeing that new screenshot, makes me want to play the game.

I vote for Grok and Scavenger. Mostly Scavenger, but it's your top two... so.

Also it's really easy to just use the forum search function. Seriously, every question you could ever make has already been asked and answered several times.
There's a good reason why I've never had to ask a question on any forum... ever.

OK... i finally did it! The new version is online. And its 2 Dollar now!
BUT i chose to keep the old version for free. And i will probably also update it somewhen, to complete it the way it was meant to be
See the new version as a kind of dlc/expansion pack. Its just a new "more free" mode of the game, with lots of extras planned, to give the game an adventure like feeling. For people who just want a puzzle game the original version is perfectly fine.
ALSO I used music from Eric Matyas for the new version, who kindly offers his songs for free on his website.
On a sidenote, the first five people who answer to this will get a free code. Once i find out how to do this
So, now excuse me, im kinda exhausted

So if I respond to you, I get a free code?
Count me in!

Wow, this is amazing. A strategy game in AGS! You sir, have my respect.
Not only that, but this actually looks like it will be a lot of fun. You can be sure that I'll play this game when it's released.

Hmm, is that Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven by any chance?

Firstly, your code works perfectly. I tried it myself, it works. Which tells me something else is the problem, not the function you wrote. Which means you will have to give a bit more detail; such as where the function was defined, where you're calling it from, and whether or not the code that calls it is even running when it's supposed to.
Secondly, the EndCutscene() function is used to mark where a cutscene ends, not to mark that this is the final cutscene in the game. You generally enclose code you want the player to be able to skip, between StartCutscene() and EndCutscene() functions.

For example:

Code: ags

StartCutscene(1);
Ending();
EndCutscene();
QuitGame(1);

As for your other problem. I've never used the DrawImage() function before, nor have I ever attempted to make speech bubbles. So unfortunately I can't answer that one. But someone else here probably can.

Eye spot with my little eye... something missing!

Hmm, good eye there. I hadn't noticed that he was missing half his body.

Well I ran it without problem.
It stayed at exactly 40 fps. I also had Google Chrome running in the background, and it still didn't even flicker.
My processor is an AMD A6-6400K APU with Radeon HD Graphics 3.90GHz. Which I know is a relatively new, but extremely cheap processor (since a bought it nearly two years ago).

There's already cutscene functions.
StartCutscene() and EndCutscene().

You put StartCutscene() where you want the cutscene to start, and EndCutscene() where you want the game to skip to when you press a skip button.
It really is that simple.

To me the SOPA response seems like people crying out "all guns should be banned because they can harm people", while ignoring any positive effects that might also be available (in case of guns: "You come into my house through the window in the middle of the night, I want to be able to defend myself until the police arrive!")

All I've got to say to this is that here in England guns ARE banned because they can harm people and we've only had one attempted assassination on our prime-minister (the English version of a president) which failed unfortunately. You almost never hear anything thing to do with shooting or gangs riding down the street shooting, like you hear in America all the time. So you're telling me the ability to be able to buy guns from your local supermarket is a good thing. I must admit being able to defend your home from thieves would be nice (something which you're not allowed to do for some reason in England) but if you can buy guns, so can the thieves and that's your problem, right there.

As for SOPA and PIPA, I hope they don't pass for numerous reasons.

blueskirt is right, i've played the game enough times to know that the gate can not be opened when you go to the garage through the lab, although if you want the game to be unwinnable, all you have to do is close the boot before you get the meteor and make sure your kid doesn't have the key to the car, also the answer to your question about being able to change your character when you get the meteor, you can't.

Umm, the game keeps crashing on me when ever I try to put on the gown.

Here's what the error message says

If you're using a verbcoin, why is the half of the screen still black as in Maniac Mansion?  

I made the background for a scumm gui but decided to use a verbcoin instead and I didn't want to ruin the room by filling it in so I put the @overhotspot@ there

Hey, Danzvare! You're using material from Maniac Mansion Mania without saying a word about it!

I didn't think many people would have heard about it and well i thought I would get in trouble I'll modify it

haha, this looks great.. can't wait to play it.. and I'm already hoping you will create a fulllength game soon..

This is going to be a short game but I have got a plan for a full length game but it's a good idea not to plan too far ahead

This could be interesting... one thing, though: You should really re-think that choice of font color, it's a little... less than readable.

It seems quite readable on the game I'll see about it

here's the link to the game
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=1167

most thing on this game are edited versions of things from maniac mansion mania

I've been working on my game a lot reacently and boy is it boring but i've added a secret ending if you find the big blue cup which is an inventory item and i've made every object in the bedroom interecterble so my charecter will say something diffrent for each one even if you talk to objects

STORY
My game is about a guy named Rowen who needs to go to work but has lost his keys and can't find them anywhere, he finds this book about finding your keys and then he starts looking in all the locations it says

GRAPHICS
It will look a bit like maniac mansion but only three rooms and one playble charecter that I made, it will also use a verbcoin which I made my self but most thing were created by lucasfan I just edited them  :'(

GAMEPLAY
As bad as the story seems the whole game takes place in Rowen's apartment and almost every object is interectble (hopefully) also Rowen isn't the searius type as a matter of fact he's an idoit therefor you'll have a laugh at almost anything he says there's also a secret ending for anyone who can find the big blue cup

PROGRESS
the game is very short unless you're poor at solving puzzles or if you are interecting with everything

CREATORS
Me and maybe lucasfan since I am using his artwork but I did get the music from maniac mansion mania as well as the sprites but I edited the sprites

EXTRA
I made a comic of my charecter the game is set in panel 1.5 of the first page heres the link to them

SCREENSHOTS

As you can see this room looks almost indentical as the one in maniac mansion mania this is because I'm not very creative when it comes down to bathrooms


If you look closely you'll see that the room is looks a bit like zak McKracken's room just diffrent colours and slightly diffrent objects
