SPACE QUEST will never die!!!

Good artwork! Sounds very interesting. Is that Hitler on the chair on the one of the backgrounds?

I spent 30 minutes staring at those 2 screenshots to find something that is not on the right place. I couldn't find one. They are PERFECT! Keep up the good work, guys!

I just checked who is Silver Surfer... If I make it golden, I'm sure you will find another character from the huge american comics stories database.

New screenshot added:



Cheers.

Let's keep this thread on target (about the game).

If you want "critics" on the website design please post in the Critics Lounge!

Ok. I understand. In few days I'll post more screenshots from Cosmos Quest IV.

Hi guys,

I redesigned the website of Cosmos Quest - http://www.cosmos-quest.com.

I'll be happy to hear what you think about the new design.

Thank you.

One of the funniest gypsy chalga clips (the guy behind the keyboard):

"Good morning, drunk man" - генре: typical serbian chalga, subgenre: turbofolk (George Lucas can use the brass section in Star Wars for a music theme in the alien bar):

[Edit:]

...if only someone can enlighten me in tutoring me on what exactly is a Chalga.
All I can see in this is a dam (no pun intended).
Edit: All right. Google translate told me that it's "cure for abortion", so... ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalga
Chalga is not only a music genre. It's also a lifestyle on Balkans. Many people likes it, because the music is simple. Many people likes it because the lyrics are stupid. Strange, isn't it. And some people have reached the point to create those kind of short movie clips, showing their disapproval with this phenomenon. There is a whole industry that earns a lot of money from the chalga music and lifestyle.

Chalga lyrics translated to English:
Eh, Tiger, Tiger! Have you got the money?
When you got the money — got the pretty women
Eh, Tiger, Tiger! Have you got no money?
If you got no money — only grannies

And here is the song "Tiger, Tiger": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2Ls6HPT0-g

Examples for chalga songs' titles: "Good buy, hookers", "I'll give 100 kilograms grape brandy", "The village bath", "Hey chickens, come to daddy", "I'm a hunter and I'm also fisherman", "Sexmachine runs through the forest", "Brother, buy me a satellite dish", "Hey son, you can't become a thief", "No money, back to work", "Bird flu", "Those two red tomatoes".

Examples for chalga bands' names: "Super Coca Cola Band", "Alf No Problem 93 Band"...

In the western world there is a similar phenomenon - Lady Gaga

Don't get me wrong. I HATE CHALGA!

I like the screenshot. It's very atmospheric! Is it a photo? Good luck with the game dbuske. Will there be a walking character?

Oh, sorry i forgot to mention it in the original post. I'd like to use free software, not the ones i have to pirate.
But thanks for sharing your opinion.

You can use GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/) instead Photoshop. It's free.

Hi guys, first of all this is my first post here and if it's in the wrong section please move it to the right one.
Now the question is, I'm a total beginner at AGS and i want your opinions and recommendations on various graphics/sound software.
Basically, which ones should i use as a beginner ?
Thanks in advance.

For sound editing - SoundForge. For graphics - Photoshop.

Cure for Chalga

Game ending is always disappointing when you like the game.

Just finnished "Beneath A Steel Sky". I tottally agree with Doc Comic. The game is awesome! Joey is great Grapchis are super! Voice acting is very good. I don't understand Mr Jake about the voice acting. Anyone who likes classic good old adventures should play "Beneath A Steel Sky".

This is lovely! You can make a movie of that! It will be a great game! Good luck with the project, Scorpio82.

Example: "Machinarium" is a hit this year. Amanita Design are selling it for 20$. They made 2 promotion dates one in August and one for this Christmas. Promotional price is 5$ (if I remember correctly). I think this is reasonable. "Machinarium" proves that adventure games are NOT dead!

It seems that I intentionally misunderstood your point. I just found it gratuitous for you to chose marital intercourse as an example of something so unchallenging as to be pointless.

No, Ali. It's not pointless to have sex with your wife! It's pointless to make a story of it. I tried to be funny...

Are you telling me your wife doesn't make you complete three quests before sex? Am I wasting my time looking for the crystals of power?

Ali, I really don't understand what you are trying to tell. Or maybe you like to answer to a post that have "sex" and "wife" in it. What I mean is that is pointless to play an adventure game with easy (or without) puzzles.

Why people like to play easy adventure games? A book or a movie is a good alternative.

To play and finish an adventure game with easy (or without) puzzles is like to tell your friends that you are sleeping with your wife
