Very short and sweet!

I really like the retro vibe, and the backstory of the BGCZ is brilliant.

I was kind of expecting some kind of fancy twist at the end - something to round off that excellent intro - but that's a minor quibble.

Can't wait to see what else you come up with.

Flashbax was nominated but didn't win.  And rightfully so.

I get the impression that the P3n1sh award is kind of like a booby prize.  It recognized those games that are horrible but yet remain popular for some bizarre reason.  Squalman's games were like that, as I recall.

Ask and thou shall receive.

Many folks requested the Itchy Eyes song.  Assuming BT doesn't mind, I made it available for download at my web site.

Hello.
I was on the team that made "Two of a Kind". There is no official walkthrough, but we would be very flattered if you wish to make one. :)
I guess most gamemakers will feel the same way. If you decide to make one, PM it to me when it's done and I will make sure it is linked to from the game page.

I also was on the team and I approve this message!

Boyd was a bit harsh in his criticism, but does have a point.Ã,  These rules do seem very... restrictive.Ã,  Feels more like a "comic caption contest in reverse" than a photoshopping event.  An alternative could be to make a it one panel picture, with one of those phrases as inspiration.

Heh.  OK it's not much, but I still laughed.  Hearing Mr. Walken again made me smile.

Hi again, thankyou for the suggestion, Yoke - I pressed escape and the game carried on :D
Dave - When I tried to turn on the music/sound, an error occured, something like 'Unable to intialize your audio hardware. Problem: Failed to int. sound driver' I set both music/sound options to my default settings, so...not sure what's wrong with that, I'm just happy I can keep playing, even if there's no sound :)

Hi Krys,

Do sound effects play, at least?  I am at a loss to explain it aside from futzing with the sound options.  Try setting the sound settings to something else and see if they work.

In terms of AGS/indie games, Susan Gant in her black dress was darn easy on the eyes.

hi Not Yet,

Is this with the original version?  Or the new one?

As for your problem...

Spoiler

Doc Love is looking to vent out his frustrations on KISS.  Surely there's something you can give him?

Actually, I think I got it working.  I changed "microphone" to "line in" and now, for some reason,  it works fine.  Woo.

Thanks for trying, though! :-D

WHOO.  Got my home connection working and I'm back in action.  Check the first post for update info.

Nope.  Nothing is muted.  I do notice that the "Advanced" tab for sound recording is greyed out.  I can't remember if it was the same way before.

General Discussion / microphone help?
Sat 11/12/2004 12:05:13
Right.  I'm at a loss.

None of my audio programs will let me record with my microphone anymore.  I can hear my voice just fine through the speakers, yet pressing "record" does nothing.  I've tried using Audacity, the built-in recorder program, and done the "test hardware" thing in the control panel.  None of them work.

Any ideas are appreciated.  All my sound drivers are updated, so it's nothing to do with that.  I think.

There seems to be a bug that nobody has mentioned, yet it's a real problem for me. Just as you answer the phone call, and try to leave the office (this is in the beginning - and it happens for both Tim/Tiff), the screenshot of the door with 'Walters & Walters' written on it appears - the game freezes and the mouse icon disappears. I've tried the 'Follow' command, turning off the music/sound, both resolutions, and full/window mode. Nothing works.

I'm about to give up on this game...:( Any help would be appreciated, thankyou.

Hi Krys,

Does the music/sound play at all for you?  The credits are, I believe, timed to the midi music so if the music is disabled then you might have trouble here.  Does the music in the office play?

Rats.

My home connection is still kaput.Ã,  I am still trying to sort it out.Ã,  In the meantime, I thought you would be interested in seeing a sneak preview of the closing credits sequence.Ã,  Matt Gardener (Wogoat) has created a number of lovely sketches to play over the music.Ã,  Here's a sneak preview:

Could you do the honors, Jaz?
#2037
Hi Einoo,

What happened when you tried to change the resolution?  I can't think of a reason why the game wouldn't let you.

I am aware of the bugs.  Most of them are fixed.  I recently reformatted my home computer (backing up the source code, of course) but it seems to have destroyed my internet connection.  I am working on getting that fixed so I can upload the new version.

Did you look at everything in your inventory?  There's something you need to do before speaking to Nish.

Advanced Technical Forum / Walking a dog
Fri 03/12/2004 16:51:23
Hi all,

Here's a theoretical problem for you guys.  I had this idea and I wondered if it was even possible.

Your character is walking a dog on a leash.  You can move your character around the screen and the dog follows you independantly, but remains connected to the leash. 

Does that make sense?  Basically I want the leash to be attached to your character's hand and the dog's collar while both move independantly of each other. 

Any light-shedding appreciated.

That's strange, considering that they just re-released MSG1 with new graphics this year.  "The Twin Snakes" it was called.
