I like the walkcycle, but I must agree with everyone else:  He seems a bit frantic.

Try slowing down the animation a bit.


Also:

You said you'd been working on the improvisations that everyone has been critiquing on, so would it be too much to ask to see? :p


ProgZMac did a very nice edit, and you said you'd work on those, too. It'd be nice to see how the animation is improving.  ^_^

lmfao



I remember each and every one of those....



The funniest one being the screaming one.



The most painful one, I think, was the one where you tried to push me in boiling water.

I guess they call the town HOT Springs for a reason.....

My thought is that anyone talking to him in third person is...

Nevermind... I don' t see the point either... 

I wasn't talking to him in 3rd person...... That was an MSN Conversation.

lmfao

I played this game dozens of times. It's nice to see it's making some real progress, rather than the imaginary progress I thought it was.

There is still one unit missing from each team, the Federal Orak Guardian, and the Confederal Orak Pyro-Technician.

A PYROtechnician?! SWEET!!!!!!!

"BURN you federation scum!!!!"

MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!


Keep up the good work!

I really like the premise for this story.

Okay, so the father causes pain and the child seems to get better?

The first thing you need to establish in your story is what's wrong with the child. Yes, the child is sick. But sick how? Physically ill? Demonically ill? Maybe just mentally ill?

After that is established, you need to know what the father has done to try to help the child. Has the child seen any doctors? If not, why not?
Has the father tried any medicines, home remedies, etc.?

Once those pesky little details are out of the way, there's just one more thing before we get it going: STRESS.

Obviously he won't be quite sane throughout.

The child causes stress to the father by the ailment.

Then, as you already said, you can get on with the story. A mysterious stranger arrives and tells this man, "To make your son better, he needs souls." and gives him some soul capturing thingymerhoosit.

Whether the stranger tells him or he finds out on his own, the father must at some point realize that torturing people and making their deaths more dramatic makes the soul stronger, thus making his child better.

That would be how I do it anyway. You can go about it your own way if you'd like.



I like the plot, but I don't see how you could impliment it as a game?

its been a while since anyone linked this, P-P-P-Powerbook prank.

That was funny. I laughed quite a bit over that. Unfortunately, I couldn't get to the last page: The Scammer's Response

And when i tried regoing to the site, it kept saying "Cannot Find Server"....

I'll try again later, though.

Though unrelated to the KQ being on ElectricPlayground, it's still relevant to AGS popularity.


I remember way back when Akumayo first introduced me to AGS, and I knew nothing about nothing.

I asked him, "Who is this CJ everyone keeps referring to?"
Ak:"Chris Jones, creator of AGS. AKA: CJ, Pamaman, God"
MH:"'Pamaman'?"
Ak:"DO NOT USE THE LORD'S NAME IN VAIN!!!!!!!"


:o Hide in the mountains, indeed....

I agree with MrCollosal, though I still stick to my philosophy of hitting or yelling at whoever hits or yells at me.

I noticed a lot of AGSers have some Midi Maker Studio Thingy that they use to make the music for the games.

I've googled it, but the best I got was some stuwpid trial version that won't let me mess with it anymore after a couple of days.

Is there some site that will let me download it for free (because I'm a cheap bastard)?

You know, I once bought a 100 ft. Ethernet Cord off of Ebay.

Now my brother and I can play Halo at two ends of the house!!!

Better yet, we recieved it the very next day after we'd won the auction.


But, I DO have one question:

If you paid over half of what you could have got for brand new, why didn't you just buy a brand new one?




Tip for auctioning on Ebay:

DON'T bid on anything until the last couple of minutes. Ebay has a nifty feature that tells you how many days, hours, and minutes are left, so if you can figure out when, you'll be set.
The reason you wait until the last couple of minutes is because all the other bidders are doing what you do: They see you raise the price, so they raise it too. When you wait until the last couple of minutes, you usually get it for a lot cheaper than if you'd raised the price $5.32 every other day.
This strategy doesn't always work, though, so I'd suggest finding something that doesn't have many bidders, or has a 'buyitnow' option.

I tried bidding on a Korean-English; English-Korean dictionary, and someone beat me by 5 cents!!!

And, although that shows you can't always win, it shows that the other guy did. And, if you're like him, you saved a lot of money!
(btw, I'm not suggesting that you only raise the price by 5 cents... In essence, it sounds like a good idea, but somehow I doubt it really works. That guy got lucky. Try only raising it by 2 or 3 dollars. Still cheap, but not TOO cheap.)

Y'know, SSH, I don't really remember reading that in "The Chronicles of Narnia"...   

I'll bet, if you had gone off on her, that she would have shut up and gotten back in her car, and you wouldn't have been feeling so crappy afterwards.Ã, 

Somehow, I seriously doubt that.

I know quite a few people (who happen to be women, though that's probably a coincidence) who do things like that. And, from knowing them and watching them, I can honestly say that had you gotten out and yelled at her, she'd have yelled more at you. Probably woulda slapped you.

I hate to be sexist, but I agree with Nikolas on this one. A lot of women will do that sort of thing simply because they ARE women, and know that they can get away with it.

My sister, for example. I've gotten in tons of fights with her, and have more often than not ended up with some major injury (a busted open skull being the most memorable), and after talking about it later, someone will say, "You know, he had every right to get mad at you."

and her reply: "Yeah, but you're not supposed to hit a woman!"



My philosophy: If I am hit or yelled at, I will hit or yell back. Be it a man, woman, or some little retarded kid on the street.

Yeah, I remember this song...

Is it loopable? And what other songs will be used in the game?

Or you can make a super-fantastic AGS game, sell it, and make millions!!!




Nope, too late! I already thought of it, and if you even TRY to make a super-fantastic AGS game I'll sue you blind!

-_-"

I withdraw my statements.
They're ill-researched and apparently a bit... radical, I guess.


I think I'll just stick with the bad jokes topic. ^_^  I'll find enlightenment there, I'm sure!

I know you've told me over MSN a bazillion and five times, but I think it may be important for anyone else who reads this topic to know as well:

Approximately when will the game be finished?

And what is the progress thus far?

(also, mightn't it be a good idea to include weekly or biweekly- every two weeks- updates?)

If you truly knew your bible, you'd see that He totally schools   the Pharisees, who were the equivalent of the Judaists of today.

i read the ending... there's not going to be a sequel is there...
:'(

The Bible 2??







But,
To contribute to the conversation:  I doubt he was a Christian, even on his deathbed. After all, he was someone who preached for a completely different religion. Why would he suddenly decide that everything he'd preached and told was no longer worth something, and switch to a religion he'd never believe in before.

seeing as to how this forum is extremely active, and the members often have differentiating religious opinions, I would like to discuss my favorite book of the New Testament: Revelation

Or rather, the visions John saw within it.



What interests me most is the four horsemen (the first four scrolls), a conquerer, a troublemaker, a plague-bringer, and a death-summoner.



Genises says that the Earth was created in 6 days, and God rested on the 7th. However, it's scientifically proven that the Earth took millions of years to create.

So, if millions of years is simply 6 days for God, then when John says that his visions happen over a period of 7 years, who's to say that he doesn't mean that it's a chain of events that were set into place since the Earth's very creation?

Back to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse:
If the Earth has been doomed since the beginning, there should obviously be historical moments that fit the signs John describes.
As such, the four horsemen could be four historical figures who everyone knows and recognizes for their achievements.

For example: The first horsemen could have been Napolean.

Revelation says that the first horsemen is a conqueror, and that he rode a white horse, and that he conquers a vast majority of the lands around him, he carries a bow, and given to him was a crown.

Napolean was a conqueror who rode a white horse, who conquered most of Europe, and took the crown from the Pope. The bow could be symbolic of long-range weaponry, as Napolean was known to create wars between nations without ever getting France involved.


The second horsemen is conflict on Earth. A red horse whose rider causes nations to fight with one another and carries a mighty sword.

Hitler started the second World War, the Nazi symbol is red and looks a bit like a horse to me... And the sword may represent political strength, which he had.
Of course, I'm not so sure about that one, but still....



I would like to know your opinions on the book of Revelation, and any ideas you may have as to the many things John sees.

Even if he were from the future, though, that would not explain the many miracles he performed.

He didn't use any strange herbs or items that the witnesses who saw him perform these were unfamiliar with.


And about Jesus using hover boots on the water... One can say that's through lack of observation on the apostle's fault, but how does that explain changing the weather? Or that one of his apostles was also able to stand on the water?
Certainly he didn't strap on an extra pair of hoverboots for his disciple.

And he was sleeping in the boat before the storm started. Don't you think the apostles would have noticed something if he'd been carrying so much as a remote to control the weather?? He would have had to pull it out, and then click the buttons. But the apostles said all he did was tell the storm to quit, and it did.


These are just arguments, though, saying he wasn't a time traveller, not a time lord.

I don't think he was a time lord because he was changing society, not trying to keep it the way it was. His teachings were of peace, mercy, and only one God, whereas the culture in that day was war, vengeance, and many many Gods.

That was, after all, why he was executed. Because he was teaching something they considered to be hypocrisy of it's time.


It's also seen in Socrates, who was condemned to death for similar reasons (but one of his disciples fed him poison, instead of simply breaking him out of the prison).


Jesus seemed to me like the opposite of a time lord....

What denomination is your church?

First Baptist.

It seems to have gone under some good improvements.


In the rotation animation two posts above this one, I notice that when he's completely at his side his left foot seems to disappear.

I realize this is supposed to be because it's hidden behind his right foot from that particular pov, but I would suggest making it stand out a little bit more, like being able to see the heel of his foot, because very few people stand with their feet perfectly aligned.
