I haven't had time to play much yet, but it looks very nice from what i saw.
Congrats on finishing game Spyros!

Thanks
X0Z- i'll make some more tutorials.. promise. Actually, "Squash&Stretch" animation tuts should be up tomorow

Really funny game. I like it!
Unfortunately i didn't come very far. I got xxx flyer... now what?

>>Well, maybe a real adult game this time, with Hi-rez Poser-girls and not those cartoon-dolls, eh?<<
Noooo... Not Poser girls! It's much more fun the way it is now.

Sounds great! Thanks for the info- I'll sure try it out

Beautiful game!
I would love to see this finished.

Btw, does game tell you when you solved everything there is to solve, or is it just "open"?
I got whole lot of objects that i have no idea what to do with them: Garbage fish, Wooden plank, Paper airplane, Wooden dummy and Fish net.

Nice to hear you like the game
About voices- i agree. I imagined detective's voice a bit different too (more in "Philip Marlowe" style). However we went on the first ball with this game- Flux simply recorded voices and for such a short game, there was no point in making more work for him, by going back to record different voice for Edd.

Btw, noises weren't really our fault- they were recorded in perfect quality (and saved in mp3). However, because of the bug in AGS (that chop the last half second from the Mp3 files) i needed to convert mp3s in wavs- in the worst quality (otherwise the file size would jump up drastically).

Maginz, it would be wonderful, if you could do the save&load dialogs for me!
I'll leave PD the way it is, however i wanted to use custom dialogs for Ignac2.
I didn't decided what design will i use for Ignac's save and load yet, but i'll try to put it down
as soon as possible (could you do something in style of Toonstruck, where a small picture of location was saved
along with text?)

About drawing: all graphic in PD was hand-drawn first (line work), scaned and colored on computer. All character animations were done in vectors (you can find out more about vectors in my little tutorials, here: http://maniacco.tripod.com/tutorials2.htm
 ).

Backgrounds in the other hand, were first converted in vectors too, after i put up basic colorsin Flash, i exported them as bitmaps and continue with coloring in Painter (to add some bitmap effects).

Thanks again!
Argentinian- the game i'm working on is Ignac 2. It was first MMF project, but after trying AGS i found out it does almost everything i need, and is 100% easier to code than MMF (for adventures that is)... so we are now rescripting game in AGS

About graphic- you can find my online gallery here: http://maniacco.tripod.com/more.htm

Thanks, i'm glad you like it
Rsgortat- no, the speech pack was recorded by Flux (Roderick Leermakers). He offered to do the voices for this game and of course i agreed

Here's my first little AGS game. Ok, it's not really a game- more of a little learning project, to try out interface, interaction scripting, and generaly to grasp the basics of program&#8230; however there's also one easy puzzle for you to solve (the game has its »ending«, so you'll know when you'll done everything there is).

*********************
INTERFACE:

-ESC brings up the menu (be sure to check it out)
-LEFT CLICK to Walk (or exit in a new room, when exit arrow is available)
-DOUBLE LEFT CLICK to Talk/Interact/Use Inventory Item
-RIGHT CLICK to Look (or if you have selected inventory item, that's how you get rid of it)
-click on little »i« icon in the left bottom corner of the screen to bring up inventory (or press »i« button on keyboard).

RESOLUTION: 640x400, hi-colors. I think you shouldn't have (too big) problems with speed (it runs reasonably good on Celeron 200Mhz&#8230; not great, but bearable).

There's now new version of PD game... with voices!
Thanks to Roderick Leermakers (aka Flux) and his sexy voice (although a bit less sexy in this game )! He did great job
