We're paying our actors £50 each for a game, with the promise of 2 sequels. They're not well-known but if they're serious, they'll be happy to simply get stuck in with a role and really get to become the character.

I'm excited, sure, but can't help but think that that wonderful magic will be gone now

Excellent Mods, glad to see you're still interested in the project I'll get that list to you ASAP!

Right, where to start...

"Fallen Legend" IS still in production, I have no way gave up on it. For the past 2 or 3 months some personal stuff simply got in the way and I had to deal with all of that before I could attempt to get back to work on it.

This is just a quick update really to let people know that Fallen Legend is back in production again.

Quick update - the game's coming along great now. We're still looking at a Christmas 2008 release.

Cheers Dirk. The voice actors are actually professionals who have worked on some major productions - we've hired them for the project, we couldn't be happier!!!

I'm waiting for this one too - it looks very VERY promising

Pam - our hero's new friend - http://www.gamejelly.net/extras/pam_sample.mp3 - Voiced by Sara Barrack.

ENJOY!

lol tacky!

The voice for the male lead of Peter has now been agreed - if anyone wants to hear samples I'll be glad to post them.

The female role of Pam is about 99% cast too. Just waiting for the official 'yes' from the woman who auditioned.

The voice talent is being provided by professional voice-over actors, who will be getting paid for their efforts.

It's romantic! It's threatening!
It's threat-mantic!

Why it's GREASED LIGHTNING!!!

Oh I can tell this is gonna be a lot of fun! And lucky you to get the assistance of the all powerful Grundislav!

It's already complete, check out the Completed Games.

Steve walks really too slow, the horizontal walkcycle is awkward. I believe you could cut down on the frames, as there's some "sliding". Also, pathfinding was faulty in some instances.

It's Peter As mentioned earlier, even our character artist isn't happy with Peter's walkcycle and will be redrawing/fixing it.

The deer slides, because you didn't center the sprite, I think.

I'm aware of this and will be fixing it before the next demo.

The hotspots for inventory/menu buttons are somehow off.

This has already been fixed

Also, the "woodcutting darkness" lasts too long, animation would be nice.

Correct, we'll be adding a cutscene for this.

I'll add that you should have Stevy face stuff. Anyway, looks good and promising.

Peter WILL face the correct way by the next demo release

Not my kind of game, it hurt my eyes too much I'm afraid.

Still, looked reasonably well-made.

Is Part 8 DEFINATELY the last? Or could we possibly see a new Ben Jordan series AFTER the incidents of Parts 1-8?

Yes. Case 8 will be my last Ben Jordan game.

You keep doing this about the thing above Francesco:

Code: ags

int lastcase,currentcasenumber=8;
function NewBJGame() {
lastcase=currentcasenumber+1;
}

A thing that makes the fanboys go wild!!!!

I hope so!!!

I must say, when I heard Mark Wahlberg was playing Payne my first reaction was...erm....yeah. Ok.

But then I realised that Payne is a normal guy with serious issues (who wouldn't having your wife and kid brutally murdered).

I was always rooting for the guy who played Richard Hillman in Coronation Street to play Payne - he was a double of him in Max Payne 2. Don't deny it.

Thankyou SO much Khris, this has been bugging me for days!

I'm using AGS 3.0.2.

I've got a custom-made inventory GUI that I've designed myself.

I'm also using a single cursor for the only two interactions within the game: INTERACT and LOOK. Left-click for Interact and Right-click for LOOK.

When I left-click interact on an item it's fine, the cursor changes to the inventory item as it should.

When I right-click to LOOK at an inventory item, nothing happens.

I have 'Handle Inventory Clicks in Script' set to True. If I change it to false then right-clicking DOES make it LOOK at the inventory item but it won't allow me to INTERACT by left-clicking. Swings and round-a-bouts.

I'm also using SSH's 'Description' module, I don't know if this is something to do with it.

My on_mouse_click code is here:

Code: ags

function on_mouse_click(MouseButton button) {

  if (IsGamePaused()) return;

  if (button == eMouseLeft) {
    if (GetLocationType(mouse.x, mouse.y) == eLocationNothing) ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, eModeWalkto);
    else { 
      if (mouse.Mode==eModeUseinv) ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, eModeUseinv);
      else ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, eModeInteract);
}
}

  else if (button == eMouseRight) {
    if (mouse.Mode==eModeUseinv) mouse.Mode=eModeInteract;
    else ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, eModeLookat);
  }

  else if (button == eMouseLeftInv) player.ActiveInventory = InventoryItem.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y);
  else if (button == eMouseRightInv) ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, eModeLookat);

}

Any suggestions?

I'm DEFINATELY interested. Send me a PM
