Played them all through now. Here are my thoughts:

xil:
In the beginning very atmospheric and even immersive (that intro is great!), but it soon lacks interactivity. The story text parts are well written and the over all monochromatic design is very neat. That minimalistic style has it's charm (The way you designed clouds and stuff are really cool-weird), but still I kinda miss something else to do, apart from reading large passages where sometimes it has been very hard to sort out, what they have to do with the story itself. Everything is very mysterious here. Of course I do like to think in an adventure, but I like to get some structure of thinking in a game even more.

Spoiler

I actually couldn't figure it out... Is it some kinda game, where the player character wants to recap some memories (of him/this girl/both/whom?)... Is it a mind intruding scenario? Jack was introduced as a contract killer. Is this the future, where information can be shared via memory storage? Very confusing... The hacking part was a good idea, but it soon proceeded on it's own and became another click-through-storytelling-part. No challenge whatsoever.

Nevertheless it has been nice 10 minutes.

Spoiler

And your cliffhanger is pretty mean...

addendum:

Spoiler

Thanks to Mandle I know get it. Now that is actually a really cool idea. But still your game lacks the execution of said unthinkable cold-heartedness. at least a little memory kill performance as a nice teaser could have made it so much better (and clearer) for me!

Cassiebsg:
What a cuuuute game. these characters are weirdly rough designed and super pleasant at the same time. Your city design is delightful and this choice of music really adds to the overall feel good playing atmosphere. At one moment I wasn't sure, if I missed something...

Spoiler

Which character tells you that the thief has a scarred face? Or do we have to guess/remember this detail? Well in my case I had a hard time finding a new infomation about him and suddenly I chose the right one and could finish the game.

I loved almost everything about this one.

And I so would have wanted to get to know better that sweet lady with the orange dress

You, sir, are my favorite!

slasher:
Well this one really tried to ride on a huge wave of crude humor. I am not that much into body functions jokes, but I liked the more or less dramatic backstory and also got some of the rolling stones references, although I know nearly nothing about this band. Your graphics ranged from lovely but simple, to lazy but workable. Your bean power game mechanics has been great though. Never thought it could be that much fun

Spoiler

and I was glad, he didn't use magic bean gas for his super power...

All in all an entertaining MAGS game with some dieduction at the visual design grade.

Retro Wolf:
In the beginning a pretty hard, but after some time a very funny, little farming game. That movement and interaction keys were a bit tricky to coordinate and to control.

Spoiler

Very often I put seeds into an already occupied spot. If it's a different kind of seed I would get it, but when the game is taking money as I try putting the same kind of seeds in there, bacause I missed goig a pixel more to the next spot, it makes me a little bit angry.

I never got beyond a hundred credits After a second round I mastered it . But still I didn't get the benefit of that huge jump feature. Is it just to evade the robot waves or is that part of the cut out game features/challenges due to lack of development time?

How fish is the much?

Great topic! If I hadn't a ton of real life stuff to do, I would go for a Golden Twenties game... Inspired by "Midnight in Paris" and Picasso's famous café painting


I don't wanna spoil the fun but aren't Columbus and Roger Earl of March both set in medieval eras?

How much is the fish?

Let's do this!

Moar Moar Moar

Oh damn. This game is still pretty bugged

It happens sometimes. Have to fix that I guess.

if you care to try it again...

Another Bugfix :-/

I appreciate the effort, Mandle

B2T now

@Mandle:

Oh. Yeah, I used the BASS template. Rookie mistake, I guess, not to change the author.

How on earth did you do that. Mandle?

Spoiler

I am so sorry it gave away the final twist for you

Found the problem. I was so blind! (shocked!)

@Stupot:

could you update the download link? This bug bugs me a lot and really gives away all the fun!

Please don't disqualify me! My PC shut down in the last minutes xD



Had to kill one game breaking bug. Is this cheating? :O

Jump! Jack! Flash! another update SORRY

Here it is!

Link deleted...

I have to rework it ^^

Need 6 hours more!
Or at least 2 :O

New CrashDump. Doesn't seem to be the mp3 (works on another place)

I changed "aHit.play(...);" to "AudioChannel *Hit = aHit.Play(...);" and the error line wandered up to line #7

Does this link work?

Hey guys,

got a problem playing a very short sound (less 0,5secs) in Beta 3.4.0.7

#9 is the line in question

Code: ags

 
 //GlobalScript

   cCar.LockViewFrame(8, 2, 0);
   AudioChannel *sfx = aEngineIdle.PlayFrom(1000, eAudioPriorityHigh, eRepeat);
   sfx.Volume = 20;
   object[5].Move(cHag.x-30, cHag.y-21, 4, eBlock, eAnywhere);
   aFireWorkWhistle.Stop();

   object[5].Move(cHag.x+10, cHag.y+10, 7, eBlock, eAnywhere);
   object[5].Visible = false;
   object[3].Visible = true;

Can someone tell me what the problem is?

I am working on it!

Some suggestions apart from the obvious bleakness:

- The left and the middle tree look a bit odd on the base to me. Maybe add some roots that are growing out of the grass so that they look more like strong and venerable plants.
- The bush thingy has the shape of a sleeping dragon (Is it a sleeping dragon? ). It seems a bit small and very lonely compared to the scene you created. Give it a brother (or a sister). Maybe combine that one visually with the rock. Stands out too much imho.
- are these pixels on the ground leaves? maybe you should enhance these on some parts to improve that illusion.

?!

So it WAS the reply number. Mind blown! But you could have said that my crossed out idea had some squirrelish feeling

I'm with Danvzare in this one. If you as the creator won't do the "director" part (or want him to influence your work significantly), because you think your vision is not good enough, then maybe your idea is not thought out enough. If so, I am pretty sure a skilled script writer instead is a very good way to improve the experience a game you have in mind could possibly offer. Good adventures are primarily good told stories.
