[Liero]

It's Liero, Atavismus got it!

I was entertaining guests at a cocktail party aboard my yacht, but I still made time for it.

Also, congrats to everyone! Congrats especially to Terror of the Vampire, which I think finally got the recognition it deserved after slipping by in the MAGS voting. Congrats to SilverSpook with Neofeud! The excitement was palpable from the snippets of your stream I watched. A big, hearty congratulations to Slasher! You're not allowed to stop or even slow down now that you've won an award, but I doubt there's any danger of that.

Hurrah!

I have uploaded the awards ceremony for 2017 to YouTube

Is this that joke my dad made where he'd be like "go outside and play"?

Jill of the Jungle?

Yes! Stu, I'll be recording it and uploading it to YouTube shortly after. I heard someone might be streaming it this year too.

You might try CW's TypedText module:

Welcome Back Kotter

[General settings -> Visual -> Default transition when changing rooms]

In the editor, go to General settings -> Visual -> Default transition when changing rooms and set it to Instant

If you really want to use SetGameOption, you might try:

Code: ags

SetGameOption(19, 1);

19 is OPT_FADETYPE, but I don't think the editor defines it. The transition styles are:

FadeOutAndIn = 0
Instant = 1
Dissolve = 2
BlackBoxOut = 3
CrossFade = 4

I think walkbehinds are an attempt to emulate (or improve upon) SCI's priority lines. I don't use them for two reasons:
- Direct3D quirks
- No way to specify alpha

[Wilfred: 2088]

Some neat games this month.

Wilfred: 2088 was outstanding. It was nice to see Wilfred get the recognition he deserved! What a unique concept, and such a great execution. The puzzles were very well thought out. I felt the clueing was just about right and I finished the whole thing pretty quickly. Great job.
Finger of Suspicion was a very intriguing concept. I wanted the video version and a save system and, and... lots of things, but I really enjoyed what I played. Great archetypes, very nice voice work. I still don't know who the killer is. Ran out of time to play games and wanted to get my vote in .
A Martyr of Time had me interested from the get-go. I love playing these games, but I think they really benefit from a good parser. I'd suggest reimplementing it in Inform or TADS. I ended up travelling back in time and falling to my doom. Still not sure what I could've done better, but I had fun!
White Bear Beauty Chlorinde and the Paranormal Parrot. I finished it quickly and didn't encounter any bugs. It's clear to me the author focussed on character development over puzzles. Chlorinde (cool name) should get about in a white bear suit IMHO, unless it's a story set at the beach. Aside from that, I really liked both quirky characters -- something I've come to expect from DBoyWheeler.

It was tough. My vote went to Wilfred:2088 as the most complete game and the one I had the most fun with. All other entries had something I liked!

Yes, that's correct, Stupot! Your turn!

In theory, you could use DateTime functions, but unfortunately AGS restricts it to 1-second precision, so won't be of much use here.

I like to think CJ was forward-thinking here, given the recent Spectre and Meltdown scares

Not Skins

Here's another screenshot:



Oh, and a clue: this is a British sitcom, following the IT Crowd theme .

Wing Commander?

Yayyy! Here's a new one:

The IT Crowd?

Not sure about the episode. Jen orders a coffee and the barista is rather sexual about its delivery

Yeesh, Glenjamin. That's very unsettling.

When you decide on a look, can you also share the backing plate and a few guidelines so that in a few years, should we need another button, we can create one?
