!!!

I have a wacom tablet too! What feature do you use in photoshop to get a pencil effect?

Looking good!

How big is your tablet? Mine is A5 but it's all I need for what I use it for.

i've not seen this before!

I like the lighting, it really gives the game some atmosphere!

Hey yeah I remember watching that!

Haha yeah hers was funny!

I didn't enter for two reasons:

1)This is the first time I've looked in this part of the forum.

2)I have no means of putting it up if I had known.

Oh, and she would have won anyway!

Shit did you have to make the music so loud? I jumped outta my skin, and I bet I woke my parents up!

But anyway hahahahaha that's crazy! Funny!

I'd better be careful what photo's I put up here..

Farlander, I understand how you feel, when my own grandma was slowly dwindling away. Leukimia, athritis, you name it, she had it! You have my condolences.

Pat has died? Dam, he was cool!

And then there's George Best, too. RIP.

My mom always says death comes in threes.

You're complaining? I got called a maniac!

Mordalles: There's more blood in the game than that!

Nikolas: Wow, thanks man! That made my day!

Yeah Photobucket automatically made them smaller! I'll look into it.

This game went into development hell - but it's back!

The game is virtually complete, it's in it's beta stage, of which I need a few testers if anyone's interested! Please PM me if you are. (I've already asked a couple of people and awaiting reply, but I need three or four testers all together.)

Jake is worried when he recieves a distressing call from his paranoid and obsessive brother Daniel, that people's life's might be in danger. Jakes hurrys over only to find his brother drowning in his own blood.

All I need to do is iron out any bugs in the game with the help of some eager play testers, and record the remaining dialogue.

Screenshots:





PROGRESS:

overall: 95%
backgrounds: 100%
story+puzzles: 100%
characters: 100%
animations: 100%
scripting: 99%

Actually, I'll need to change the credits in the game for any play testers!

WOAH!!!

Wow you guys rock!

BEFORE:

Wav AGS vox size: 85.1mb (Estimate 270 lines)

AFTER:

Ogg AGS vox size: 5.02mb

I used a converter called "switch"

That's because I've not actually plugged my own game yet!

While I'm dying to post everything about it, I don't want any pressure or expectancies.

But at a guess I'm about 25% complete. (Forgetting about the speech problem)

Sorry eldkatt, I actually sent it to Gheoffkhan! Stupid me! Still, two opinions are always better than one!

I sent you the file.

No, really!

I'll check out that list, and look into ogg!

"...that normally the human ear does not hear"

oh you mean the shaving of those zeroes and ones!?

Converter... maybe that will save me re-doing all my files, unless I want to do them all again. it's only fifteen minutes into the game, but there is speech understandably for anything that is said, like looking at stuff.

While we're on the subject, my mp3 music consists of 5 tracks so far at 15.6 mbs. Is this okay? I want to add more.... You must have played adventure games where they play the same dam track throughout almost the whole game?

Well yeah they do look good I suppose, in fact they should be put in the credits at the end!

Hmmm my normal microphone works alright, but it's got hissing still..

afterwards I lowered the mic volume for the usb one and downloaded a free recorder called Audacity, which, those two combined has reduced hissing quite a bit, there is still a tiny bit of hissing (Like a bit less than on a cassette tape) so i emailed a wav file to EldKatt (I think) so you can hopefully see if that would pass quality inspection!

Now, my only other problem is file size, the file I sent them is about 1 and a half megs for 10 seconds! Does anyone know of a freeware program that will shrink the size, without decreasing quality too much?

I'm not too impressed with Shure mics, my dad once bought one (around 80 pounds) and it was crap. Maybe a one off? I HAVE always heard good stuff about them elsewhere!

I never watched Samo Hung in martial Law, but in fact a lot of the films when he was starring with jackie, or on his ownsome perhaps... long time ago.

Yep, Jackie rocks! You can be proud and say "I was punched by Jackie Chan!"

WOOHOO my Kari Wuhrer album just came in the post! (Unrelated but it JUST happened now!)

It's alright about having a decent microphone, my "Optimus" (who?)

It's better quality than some of the mics I've heard in use on x-factor type programs!

Right, I'll try out my microphone now! Let you know what occurs..

(Whoops I've already done 85 megs worth of speech... Gonna be fun doing it all over again!)

Good advice amigos!

I'll copy and paste what you've all said on notepad!

I turned the volume down but there is still some hissing...

If my big microphone don't work (It's a good one too, i use it for my music I make, and it's got it's own pop cap) then I'll either look up ways to get it to work, or try the de-noiser etc stuff!

Actually, I do rest my big microphone on a hollow box, and it's alright with it.

My usb mic is very small with a clip so you can attach it to things. It didn't hiss on the music ps2 program, in fact it was mint, but I guess there is either a compatibility problem, or it just picks everything up too well.

Not only is it annoying to have hiss on my own game, but I see people here have a need for voice actors, and I enjoy that very much! (Whether I THINK I'm good or I am actually good is unknown...)

Thanks again!

Yes, make a note of my username, and let me know when you're done! Then we can talk.
(At that point I can email you a small wav file of my voices and you can judge if I'm any good)

Did anyone contact you about the music then?

Actually, as much as I can't wait for this game, I want it all to be a surprise, characters and all...

So sorry Dan, but just let me know when it's done, okay?

However long it takes, no rush okay!
