I've been down that long and sad road before ... it hurts like mad.

I know it's of little help, but I always try to remember the good times and focus on how good a life I gave the pet.  13 years is a LONG time for a pet to be around.  It makes it harder as we're so used to them being around, but also is a source of happiness because unhappy pets don't live that long

You have my sympathy and I'll pour some on the curb for Captain collie.

I would suggest looking at some reference photos ... go to Google and type "space photos" or "outer space", something like that.  The problem I have with your image is that it doesn't look like space.

I didn't look at references ... but I whipped this up in about 10 minutes:



The larger blue planet could still use some work.  Space backgrounds are, in my opinion, some of the easiest to do once you get the hang of it.

Everybody lighten up

Obli ... keep on keepin' on with your game.  Make the game you want to make.  There's always going to be those that disagree or don't like, but don't let that discourage you!

Best of luck!

When I posted in the Release Something thread I came VERY close to saying "Please do not dig up the production thread!!"

An update will be coming soon ... for now, this is locked.

it might perhaps be more helpful to point out to JoeFirebrand that his problem is most likely caused by him using the Brush instead of the Pencil to draw (Photoshop).

Agreed.  However, what he posted was FAR too vague to start offering up advice.  I mean ... jagged?  If you're drawing with the pencil tool what do you think would happen?  Did he resize (shrink or grow?) the image after drawing it?  What tool(s) was he using?  What color depth?  Which program did what? (since he mentioned Photoshop AND Corel - two totally different proggies).  Are we supposed to just use our imaginations to visualize the results?

I'm all about helping a brotha out ... but come on.  It was a silly post without anything NEAR enough information.

Photoshop isn't very suitable for sprites in general though

In that regard I'd have to completely disagree.  I would agree that photoshop might have a steep learning curve, but I refuse to believe there's ANYthing I couldn't do in Photoshop that those other proggies you mentioned can do.  Granted, I haven't used them, so I could be wrong.  But I doubt it.

[Amulet of Kings]

This may come as a bit of a surprise to some but ... Amulet of Kings is still in production.  Things have really been draggin' the last few months, but Team Hasselhoff is still around and AoK will be made!

Here's a previously unrelased screenshot I made (w/ Farlanders new sprites in it!)



Hope you like it!

You're gonna fit in really well here ...

Dude ... what the F**K are you doing digging up old threads?

If you have a problem with Blackthorn contact him via PM ... but stop digging up old threads.  Especially if it's just to make pointless jabs at him.

There is a secret option in Photoshop ...

You have to hit CTRL-T then hit 7 2 3 0 0 1 1 and then CTRL-SHFT-F9

This will add a new secret menu option in the File menu up top called "Special Sprite Creation" and in there you'll see an option for "Practice, practice, practice"

Works for me everytime.

Seriously ... you need to provide more information.  What you should probably do is post it in the Critics Lounge so people can actually see (and then maybe understand what you mean).

This thread certainly doesn't belong in here ...

[Drowps]

It never ceases to amaze ...

I'm locking this thread.

Drowps [who hasn't logged in since November] ... if you're still out there working on this and wish it re-opened for an update send me a PM if and when.

What happened to the other screenshot?  You need to have two (menu/option screens don't count).  Please add another soon ...

thanks.

** Long drawn out sigh **

Forum Rules please ...

Thread is being unlocked ... please update with both screens! (thanks for the PMs)

Is there no GUI in the game?  I mistook the first shot (due to no gui) as a title screen.

[2 year old thread]

Are you FREAKIN' kidding me?

You dig up a 2 year old thread with that?

The forums were upgraded to the latest version of the forum software this afternoon, so do let me know if you have any problems.

Also, the bar that displays how many messages I have is completely black, with blue writing

This seemed fine to me in IE, but I just tried it in Firefox and got the black bar problem; it should now be fixed.

Did the same thing for me BEFORE I logged in ... once logged in, it works fine now.

Please pose those kind of questions in the Beginner's Tech or Tech Forums (but be sure to read the BFAQ and the AGS help file before asking).

Geeze guys ... give him a break!!

Welcome [back] gemen.

EDit i tryed to upload some screenshots but i cant i need have the images in a web page? can i just copy&paste??? this is my first forum so i dont have idea

Then you should have waited till you figured it out!

Let me know (via PM) when you have and I'll unlock this.

Thanks for the PM ... please update the first post with your screenshots (be sure to read the rules too!)

Sometimes you just have to search for the right thing!

I googled for 'javascript countdown clock' and found a TON of worthy entries.  These were just four from the first page.  I'm sure any one of them can fit your needs.

I find it odd that you can figure out how to sign up and then post on these forums, but you can't figure out how to download and run an AGS game.

Given your lack of details about exactly where you're having trouble ...

How about a tad more information:
1) What game(s) are you trying to run?
2) What part of the 'running' are you having trouble with (unzipping, installing, etc)?
3) What system are you using (pc or mac)?

Steeldrummer ... What in the name of holy hell are you doing???

Good lord ...
