Ah. Um... Just wait till someone who knows more, until then I wouldn't touch the files.

Yeah if you want him to just animate or whatever use Character.Animate()
if you set a speech view up it will automatically switch to that when talking.(I switch between mad, angry, sad and laugh expressions though so i use the Speechview)

[Background animation]

I got a art background and a tiny tiny tiny amount of experience (A tad bit of java/lua.)
Only been using ages for a bit over a week but here we go.

Background animation

If there all doing different actions it might be hard because lets say a guy is smoking a cig and a woman is dancing and a guy is having a convo all of them require a different amount of frames.

Id draw a simple version of frame one of what the action starts as and then draw frame 4 of how it ends and then fill it in and see how it looks. I'd group the simple animations that don't require interaction into backgrounds. (Guy smoking and talking)

It just depends on so much.

Interact with a looping character
Easy just use
  Charatername.SpeechView = AnimationViewNumberHere;
Then after dialog switch it back.

Bool or conditions

I'm guessing it is a preference because it "most likely doesn't matter"
I personally use bools.


If you got anymore I'll try and help but limited experience here.

My vibrated.

Also if I put to fingers down my right click on hold menu flashes on and then off.

Looks pretty awesome!

Just don't delete anything I'm pretty sure you can fix this.

Do you have some plugins cause I don't think ags uses xml does it?

Hmm...well could it have something to do with the keyboard press sensitivity? The script calculates how long the key is pressed down, maybe different keyboards have different sensitivities and that's what's causing the turn-timing issuea on different computers?

Ill get a clip on youtube to show what's happening.

I don't think should affect it, I can run it on my computer and slow lap old lappy if you want to see if I have that problem.
Either way thats wierd.

The idea was never to "have some boobies run around in a forest", the idea is to create a mood for the player, a background atmosphere, and maybe even some symbolism. From the very start of the project nudity (not only of the main character but of pretty much every mythical beast in the forest) was a theme. It contrasts with the civilized human society as it is portrayed in the game. It adds a tension of being vulnerable, and it seriously impacts the traditional bottomless inventory. It's not a mere gimmick, it's part of the story I want to tell.

I definitely see where your coming from, and it makes even more sense after reading the above.
I hadn't though there was much more planning into the idea then its to show vulnerable/primal state so I made her naked.(In which it "to me" seems a more distracting element then what its worth.)
However, if you had all that in mind and its a common motif throughout the story and it defined and not just some visual thing, Then it does seem like a good idea.(You should tell us a bit more about the story. )


As for everyone else I never said I couldn't handle nudity, Your thinking to much into what I said. (FOLLOWERS BAN WITH ME, WERE GOING TO STRIKE THE RENAISSANCE ART PIECES OF OLD!)


Good Luck, Ghost!

... haha

I got a galaxy s 1 I can test on, Its running custom ics though.

Good tips and alot of info.

I really enjoyed it, I'd go with a quieter more subtle music or at least tone down the volume.(Gotta Love the rayman music.)
Good tips on animation and some general info about a few things. You guys complement eachother, so good synergy between you two.
The part about watching your self for doing animations is how I've been doing and haha I always wondered if someone saw me.
Hugo house of horrors and the others were pretty awesome to me when I was a kid. I got stuck in that damn cage in number 3.

Anyways thought it was awesome you should do one a week or two and add in more stuff about whats going on in the community or have like a game pick of the week/month made in ags to play.

Blue Velvet?

Looking good, Can't believe this is all in paint. You my have have Pixelated Balls of Steel.

1986

Had "In Dreams" by Roy Orbison Sung in it.

Dark/Noir/

Had Dennis Hopper in it(Don't Cheat)

Loves Wario.

Thinks Scrolling Nyan Cat isn't cool.

Yeah, I switch to firefox when I'm stalking the forums it doesn't use a non-nearest neighbor interpolation technique so they stay nice and sharp.

Thanks I just hope I can make it good.


If anyone wants to see the animations or backgrounds or whatever...
Its just that one room, Some test script(Ignore) I did and some sounds and effects.
Tell me what you think though.

Edit: Updated Boris
Does this new version fit in with the style?
I made it less cartoony more realistically shaped, Darker looking.

Heh I might.


Thanks.
Character look and maybe slightly the setting(mine isn't mutant/post apocalyptic though.) will be the only stalker similarities.

Looks awesome, I figured the moon might be a character.
Also a demo thing would be cool.

Only one thing though is I think the nudity takes away more then it adds imo its kinda distracting.

The Pumpkin Spike glove will stop anyone including: Old People, Small Boars and Children.
