Oh, woop!! I just saw the kids doing clever stuff and guessed that.

I'll upload a pic tomorrow!

The Famous Five? (Probably not the same type of show..)

just to rule it out.. Robocop?

No idea..

The Tommorow People?

Even so, if you said Alan Grant from Jurassic Park was an iconic character, but doesn't count because he's from a book; I would argue that not only did Sam Neil give life to the character, he's also written quite differently in the book - He loves kids!

Yes, but you don't have to press and hold at all for using an inventory item on something else, just for looking, interacting etc, just like in Curse of Monkey Island. If there have been verb coin games that make you hold down the verb coin to use it with something, that seems extra clunky to me. I just wanted to point out, not all verb coin based games do this.

John Wick.

That's weird, my verb coin interface isn't like the above comment, and I haven't messed with the default cmi interface that much.

You right click to bring up the inventory. you can bring up the verb coin to interact with or look at the inv object. if you want to use it in the world, you single click the inv object and you move the cursor outside of the inv box gui, and then the gui disappears and now you can single click on a hotspot or whatever. if you want to combine it with another inv object, its another single click when the cursor has changed to the inv object.

Sorry yeah that one. Was it Fox? Figures!

Not heard of that, and I'm still stung by that cliffhanger "ending". If only it hadn't been axed.

I'd be surprised if someone said you can, but I have to ask, why would you want to? I would never import unedited recorded audio.

Additionally, what audio format would you want it to be? Ogg Vorbis is the best way to go I believe. If you haven't already, grab yourself a free download of Audacity and use that to record your mic input.

Heh.

The Running Man?

Death Race (Statham)?

He's a right gasbag.

Congratulations Haggis! I won't be offended if you don't put the cup in your sig, heh. But thinking about it, I'm glad I didn't win, to be giving my own cup to myself!

The fact I got to second place shows how unpredictable the football was, I think?

Sliders?

(Just from age of footage and scifi look, none of them are Sliders main cast)

Although I would be surprised if Grim Fandango never came up during production, it would be difficult to not look similar when both are based on the style and meaning of "The day of the dead". I think it's not an easter egg, if you mean the painting? Sorry.

Lost in Space?

How long should we wait for Jack to return and take his turn?

There could also be an object that requires doing something illegal or risky that the character wouldn't be motivated to take unless they had a good reason to.

Red herring inventory items like in Thimbleweed Park, are just that, things to increase the difficulty of the game. Although you have to make sure its not an item that should make sense to be used somewhere.

I am putting in a couple of humourous inventory items for my game, like when George Stobbart no longer needs the dog biscuits but you can keep offering them to people. I really like that!
