I've spent a lot of time on boats ... this building strikes me as a place where people like me would do okay (those that like boats) but the landlubbers out there might not do so well.

As long as the motion is subtle I think I'd rather like it ... but if it's enough motion to make things slide across counters, well ... I reckon that'd get old right quick.

This is really shaping up.

I don't usually like the gradient/title bar thing ... but it works rather well on this site.

There is one thing I realized that is missing; a home button/link.  I discovered that clicking on the 2muchinfo logo took me back to the homepage, but that might not always be clear to all users!  Up top, between the search box and contact there's enough room (I think) to add another link "home"

Just a suggestion!  I really like how this turned out!

What is this?

The first screenshot is two guys posing?

The second screenshot doesn't work.

The third screenshot appears to be a title screen? (which doesn't count as one of the two needed)

I see no player characters, no GUIs, no cursors ... this doesn't appear to be a game?

How about a little information on the game; what's it about, style, game-play, etc.

If you cannot provide this information this thread will have to be locked I am afraid.  It appears you might have "jumped the gun" a bit (IE not quite ready to post in the Games in Production area)

Nacho - Is there a place for me on the floor anywhere (the night of (thursday) 14 August)?  Or should I book another room?

I still haven't figured out where I'm sleeping the night of the 13th (in London) ... are there nice park benches?

If anybody doesn't follow the rules of posting on the board ... can I chastise them and lock it?

Oh man ...

That video is so perfectly and exactly what Mr. Carlin was talking about all these years!

That close-minded, ignorant fool (Phelps) couldn't have more succinctly proved Carlin's point!

So I want to send out a big virtual "Thank You" to Mr. Phelps.

Of course ... I have to assume he knows full-well how stupid and ignorant he is being and it's probably (as I'm not the first to suggest) just a publicity stunt.

I suppose it's functional ... if not overly entertaining.

Try adding some shading, and less "angular" lines (assuming it's not a robot?)

If I have time later I'll do a paint-over (or progZ will beat me to it!)

I'm sorry, but I'm more concerned about making sure that my own children won't have to generate means of breathing carbon dioxide with three hands a spontaneous illumination coming from their arses while they're runnign from floods. No, I'm not overreacting.

That's good to know.  That's [somewhat] proactive instead of reactive as I'm sure, at present, your own children do not have spontaneous illumination coming from their arses.  However, if they do, I suggest youTube ... it'd be a huge hit.

Man, there's plenty of time to develop a space shuttle to evacuate the Earth, but would we even have anything to evacuate? I'd rather live in the moment myself rather than really start designing jedi-lazer-swords with which to defend myself when the time comes and I wake from my timetravel tube and am the only person in the world aside from shitloads of robots.

As I've stated previously, TETO (to each their own).  To my way of thinking that's a dangerous attitude to have.  This is, of course, just my opinion ... I'm not judging anybody for having their own thoughts and feelings.

Well, that is common sense logic.

Again, funny how people see things so differently.  And, to my own credit, I said it was common sense logic to "ME" ... not that it was common sense logic definitively.

For me, the stakes are the future of mankind.  I get frustrated. I get uppity. It happens.   I say to ensure the safety of our species we should double the budget for NASA.    But so many people want to cut it back?  My reaction is rage.   There's no convincing everyone of precise geological details.

This is the problem as I see it too!  Because so many people [seem to] have the attitude, "well it'll be long after I'm gone so why worry about it?"  This is epitomized in the attitudes many in the world have today.  We've become a reactive species when we should be a proactive one.

If an asteroid/comet were to impact the earth (assuming it wasn't a global-killer) I think the human species would be able to react and adapt and carry on.  Perhaps not in a manor that would agree with most of us these days but we are, after all, a very resilient species.  However I contend; why wait to see how we'd react were that impact to occur if we can be proactive and prevent having to find out in the first place?  To me, this is common sense logic.

I'm not going near this discussion itself, but if you want to change any portion of the public opinion, there are better places to do it than in the Adventure Game Studio forum. I realize it's easy to get involved in any discussion about a topic you care about, but sometimes you might benefit from putting the discussion itself into the proper perspective, and making a judgment of whether or not you're just wasting your time and emotional involvement. If you've done this and still think it's worth it, I couldn't care less, but I think it's worth thinking about at least twice. I'm with scotch: this has been discussed to death.

Just because the topic has been "discussed to death" doesn't mean it's off-limits!  I can't recall taking part in any conversation/debate about this topic on these boards (maybe mentioned here or there, but never debated/discussed in this fashion at least).

There might be "Better" avenues for this discussion than the AGS boards ... however, if a person/group wants to get people motivated and/or believing in their "cause" the more exposure the better.  So I would argue that a general discussion board on an adventure game website is a perfectly acceptable place.  It might spark an interest in somebody that would have no other way to learn of the topic.

This is, after all, the gen-gen

You know what would be totally cool? That the life on Mars was actually brought to near extinction by a virus or bacteria of some sort. And in the end, the only thing the local highly advanced scientists could do about it was to freeze the whole planet. That way the virus would be immobile, and they'd flee to some far away galaxy never knowing that the dinosaurs around Earth quarters would actually develop into monkeys and come after their prison substance. Once we melt it, we'll be totally wiped out, and then I'll go njah njah.

I find that statement rather ironical ... Because I got the impression by your last post that you didn't find this important (may have misinterpreted)?

Well ... those ancient life-forms would never be able to leave the planet if they didn't invest in space exploration in the first place.  So what would be even cooler, in my opinion, would be to find proof of that ancient civilization that was wiped out by that virus because they listened to the nay-sayers and didn't invest in space exploration thus were trapped on their planet and promptly went extinct.

If this is an AGS game that is in production it belongs in here!  So don't worry about that!

I, too, rather like the graphical style. (thanks for posting the screenshots so quickly)

It's so amazing to me to see/hear the different opinions in this thread ... I know I've commented on that before but it really does amaze me.

I can't fathom how people don't see the relevance of space exploration.  To me it's just ... alien (pun intended).

How can we not see the incredible importance of the fact that there's frozen water on Mars?  It's not that it's water ... it's that it's water ON MARS!

I have this saying that I live by (and an acronym for it; TETO) "to each their own" which definitely applies here.  Whenever somebody/thing vastly differs in opinion on something I usually just mumble, "TETO".

So ... TETO.

Hey, there's ice confirmed on Mars, this is easily worth half a billion dollars don't you think?

I'd say that's worth several billion dollars!  I have to think there's a quite a few scientists out there right now just thumbing their noses (silently of course) at all the nay-sayers. 

Amazing news.  I can't wait to hear what's next.

Countdown to lock-down ...

Please review the forum rules and update your post or this thread will be locked.

Thanks.

RIP Mr. Carlin ... I learned a lot from you.

Including the Seven Dirty Words: (spoiled for you weak eyed people)

Hello my fellow globe-trotters!

I have reserved car "B" from AVIS at CDG.  The pick-up is 15 August.  Nacho will be coming with me to get the vehicle and I will be hanging out until the rest of the car "B" people arrive.

As I have it now it'll be:

Driver:
Darth (that's me!)

Passengers:
Mr. C
Jess
the Ivy
Mills

Is this correct?  Do I have all the facts?  If you find yourself on that prestigious list above please notify me of your arrival times so we can arrange ay'thing!  I wish tomorrow was 12 August already!!!

Oh yeah ... the total cost is just over 400 USD.  Which, if my math is accurate, would be around 80 USD per person?  Does this seem reasonable?  I got the same car that Nacho did and that's the price they gave me (but it's estimated so it could go up I'm guessing).

It says the car seats 5 people and 3 small suitcases so I'm a bit worried about all the luggage!

Please read the forum rules and update your post to follow them or this will have to be locked!

Thank you.

In viewing your backgrounds ... it would appear you're saving them at 1280 x 1024 ... which is huge.

What resolution does the game run at?  Those screen-shots are obnoxiously over-sized!

Score!

I really like what you did here!  I love the new tables (and actually like it better without the dark outline!)  The "step" down to the table on the right is excellent!  I like it much better than what I came up with!

There are only two things that naggle at me a bit:

1) the variant font styles (hops back and forth from a serif to a sans-serif font) it just feels a bit ... inconsistent to me!  But it certainly wouldn't keep me from viewing the site!

2) the side table (with latest additions); the background is just a bit too dark and makes me feel the need for a bright text color instead of the dark.  Or lighten the background color and keep the dark text.  It doesn't need much lightening up, just a little to pull those colors apart just a bit more!

Other than that I dig it!

DON'T DO IT!!!

Just kidding!  Congrats buddy!  I wish you and the soon-to-be-missus all the best.

I have been the Best Man at three weddings in the last 4 years so if your best man needs some advice I'm happy to offer it up.  Always the best man, never the man

Congratulations again.

And of course David has will... Remember Christine, by Stephen King? Well, David also has a lot of respect and friendship towards his owner, Johnny, and will gladly step into some posh' s foot if he annoys Johnny in some way. David also loves Hannah' s pink Vespa (Piaggina), but he' s too shy to roar his motor in front of her.

Maybe it's partially your "spanglish" ... but I think that's just about the cutest thing I've ever read.

Muy bueno mi amigo!
