Too bad serious C&C threads barely get to the 2nd page, and a thread like this keeps growing and growing.

I know one thing: By acting the way he did, Rubacant made pretty damn sure not a lot people will want to help him in the future. I know for sure I won't.

My final version:


For the moment this is my final edit of this troll. Thanks for all the comments and edits.

Very handy trick, flipping the image! It looked very weird when I flipped it.

I didn't follow all your changes, I wanted the troll to still be my image, instead of someone elses. But I learned quit a bit from both Ali's and Ghosts edit. Very usefull comments. Thanks!

Edit: I noticed I forgot to edit the clothes. Still fixing that. :)

Edit 2: Added shading to the pants.

I'm not really working on a game right now, I'm more brainstorming about it. I'm thinking towards a kinda Steampunk setting.

This troll could be a mechanic for example.

First I gave him some pants. I tried to give him an overall but that didn't look good. (Maybe someone else can make it look good on him, but I didn't succeed.)



Than I gave him some very simple shading:

Took me a few tries, but I finally got the good ending. Very cool!

One of the best AGS games in my opinion. Very original and atmospheric.

... but you have to orchestrate it so that Matt is facing the other way while you open the locker with the wrench, so that he doesn't catch you at it.

I only discovered it by accident!

Aaah, ofcourse, I should have thought of that!  ;D

I still need to find a way to get 50% trust.

Spoiler
I already showed the wrench to Matt. Is there anything else I could do?
[close]

Always try to give the 'nicest' answers when you talk to Matt or other people.

Maybe you didn't miss getting the trust up, but you get some trust subtracted sometime?

Thanks for the comments so far.


I tried to change him a bit. I changed his colours, and altered his posture and arms a bit.


This IS a troll, but he's not a real 'macho' troll. He's still impressive, but compared to other trolls he's more friendly.


Before starting shading, and giving him some clothes, I thought I'd post the picture again, to see if someone can give me some more pointers.

Can't work how to get the third newspaper piece. I know where it is... but can't get to it. Any hints would be a great help.

Same here.

Jimmy Shelter, may I ask how you answered? Getting only 1.7 planets on that test is quite extra-ordinary.

I think it's because of my answers at the shelter part: I don't have a very big house, and it's an apartment.
Als my transportation situation:
I ride a bicycle to work everyday, and don't use much cars or public transportation.

CATEGORY     GLOBAL HECTARES
FOOD    1.6
MOBILITY    0.1
SHELTER    0.6
GOODS/SERVICES    0.8

Cool application - also try the quiz they link to:

http://www.ecofoot.org/

My result was: "IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 3.9 PLANETS."

Guess I'll have to change my ways.  :-\


I got 1.7 planets, still more than one, but better than most of the people in my country. :)

I'll PM you where the newspapers are. (Bernie seems keen on giving out hints rather than outright solutions.)

Thanks!

I did find a second one allready, I just don't seem to be able to show it to Matt.

Nice images, but you're doing your work a disservice by posting them in jpeg format.

Replaced the JPGs with PNGs. I went for JPG at first just to keep the size down, but it turns out these PNGs are practically the same size :P

PNG rocks.


Images look even better now, much cleaner!

It's fine, you can still get the good ending! :D You can get the good one at any point provided your trust is 50% or higher and...

Usually I don't replay games, but this time I'm definitely gonna try to get the good ending!

I fixed the vent but now I am stuck in calling the water supply, any of those 3 choices

the burning jacket has to be used somewhere?

Spoiler

You need to mention the right name when you call. Maybe there are some things in the hallway labeled with names of employees?

Yes, the burning jacket is needed to make sure that dangerous gasses that could escape somewhere burn before they poison anyone.

This is a character I'm working on right now.

It's basically just the outline at the moment. I'm going to add clothes and more texture to the none clothed parts.



I would love to get some feedback on this character.

I finished it, I have no idea if I got the 'good' one. I have the idea I could have done better, but it probably isn't the worst ending possible.  ;D

I guess the endings depend on the trust rating of Matt? My trust rating at the end was 60%.

Edit: You should add it in the Games section of the site, Bernie. I want to vote for the game!

In the room where the first aid kit is, there's a case with a fire hose. You need something from the control room to cut something off, though.
