I'm sorry, deleted my post

johnnyfreak... are you SURE this is pixel art? It looks like you used the blur tool on it. Sorry if im wrong.

Thank you everyone! 50 save game slots is just what i need, i dont need more than this. I think i will only add the screenshot option, i don't even know how to do a custom save/load gui (not because i suck at scripting, but because i never tryed to make one), i think i can do it by my own. Thank you for all these replies! Everything i need i wil post here.

Well my PC has:

2 Core 2 Duo E4500 @ 2.20 GHz
2Gb RAM
250Gb HD
Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT
and a 19" monitor

My Pc isn't a TOP one, but i run ALL games that i want in high quality (not highest, but high) and i didn't spent a lot of money on it. 24" monitor??? My god, you are a happy one! In my opinion this is a waste of money (at least, here in Brazil a 24" monitor would be in the range of 500 dollars, wich isn't necessary), mine 19 is good for me.

I play Crysis in high quality and Warhead on mid-high, "older" games like Bioshock and more older like oblivion i play at full graphical mode. My pc doesn't make ANY sound or noize, because i can change the power of the cooler to low or high, wich makes more noise.
i reccomend at least

2GB RAM
200Gb HD
I would like to have a 9800 GTX
Core 2 Duo 3.20 Ghz
an a 19" screen

this is a good computer.
You can get older versions of the graphic cards like 8800 GT, they are cheaper and don't have a lot of diference between 8800 GT and 9600 GT.

Jakerpot: He's talking about a character size, not a room size. That's the size of a character he has.

Hum, i didn't realized sorry!

I think you could take a look in the vanish point tutorial (sorry, i don't know where it is  ), this will help you a lot adding more depth and realistic look to your bg 

do you want sounds or music or both? Quick google it and you will find 

ok, sorry then. Now i found myself trying to make the graphics in my style  sorry.
This is not C&C  Oh man...  : Sorry again!

Sorry if i made anyone sad  it wasn't my intention. It's because graphics is my central work on my games, this don't means i don't envolve story, puzzles & etc, but that my skills with drawing are better thatn others, so i can be very annoying when criticizing 

back in the subject: to improve it (if you want to improve it), use colors that combine, this means using a little more dark or a little more light tone of the same color, or adding a new collor with a similar tone, like yellow with orange, green with yellow-green (not full yellow, because it is much bright), orange with red and etc. I made a very very quick example (30 seconds to make) with a sand like texture on it. it has 4 diferent tones of yellow and orange mixed up using the paint spray tool. It is not bad, just for you have an idea on how to detail and make backgrounds more nicer/beautiful.



OBS: You could do something similar on the grass background, making a spray degradé between green and yellow

 :o So F****** incredible!  is that REALLY pixel art? it cant be! How do you make the collor choice, and how do you shade it? This is a wonderfull work brother, a walkthrough vide would be AMAZINGLY incredible!
Note; please do a background creation video. Or i will hunt down at least 200 signatures on a sheet of paper and show to the judge, so he will force you to do one! Is this way that democracy works isn't it?

Hey, you are brazilian right? (your image filenames are in portuguese) About your backgrounds, i recognize that trees from the lake image! Your first background, sorry, but it sucked. Your last background is good, but you can improve it a lot: removing the trash bin black outline, adding more objects to the scene like posters, a table or anything. Try to do it THEMATIC, that means, it is a children or a adult room? Man or woman? Add furniture and details according to these.

BTW: What the hell have a cavern, a lake and a room have to do with themselfs? Well, the game is yours, do whatever you want on it!

Scooby-doo games are too much childish, the new scooby-doo is BEN JORDAN!
About the security; they changed the toilet paper. Now there are some unfinished games scripts on the ground. Also the sign was vandalized, the kids are messing up there! 

another fast and simple way is use the ags forum uploader:

http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/upload/upload.html

just locate the images and press upload!
just some notes:
*81x170? You know the minimum size is 240x300 don't you?
*Try not to upload BMP's, they are HUGE, use PNG's or GIF's.
*Remember to scale the character to fit the background, post the background with a reference object for the size, like a door

Thanks you all for your help I found the solution to my problem with a trick. Anyone who wants greek letters for AGS I can send them.

Me too 

Hello there! I wanted to add a custom save/load game GUI in my game. Ok, but i wanted that the gui showed a screenshot of the game in the top of the screen and below it how many time the player spent on the game.
you know:

-----------AND CONTINUE WITH MORE AND MORE SLOTS---

0's are to be the game screenshot
understood?

by the way, how many save slots can an AGS game have?
thank you.

lol, he looks a 27 years guy with a giant cockroach in his face  it looks cool!

yeah, it's better you re-work with the graphics, with no offense, they look awfull. Sorry for my rude words, but you need to add more details to it. Try to make it not so MS Paint looking, when you look to the ground at the 2 image, you know it was made with the spray tool, so try to make it more detailed and beautiful. tutorials can help you a lot.

Cool  i didn't knew apprentice had a portuguese translation!

that was cool and funny  Finished it in 15 minutes

Sure  You can acess my blog to see it's development progress too:
