Im going to vote for Bulbapack too!

Haha good spot Leon, I will make sure I correct that one for the 'Deluxe Version'

Star Trek Newton: Part One - Anomaly

I am pleased to announce the release of the first part of the Star Trek Newton series.  It has been an interesting few months of learning AGS but i'm pretty happy with the result.  I hope you all enjoy it too.  I look forward to beginning Part 2 and learning some more about AGS also!


Download Here

See here for more information on the project.

Hopefully if all goes to plan, the game will be released some time tomorrow

Thanks, Anthony!  Hopefully you will enjoy the game once it's released!  I think we are ahead of schedule  at the moment and will be doing some beta testing soon.  If all goes well, we should be releasing by the end of the month!  I think i'm getting ahead of myself as I've already begun making sprites for the next game

mods: I agree that the GUI is pretty non existant at the moment, ive had some time to change it around a little today and improve it somewhat.  To clarify, Magintz only made the save and load GUIs and the main one was made my yours truely (which is why its lame).  I will upload some updated screenshots sometime today!

jamesreg: Thanks!   Ive read your posts on your thread and think that we are making these games for pretty much the same reason:

-Having fun.
-Learning AGS (at last!).
-Giving something back.

Thanks about the music offer! Im trying to do it myself at the moment with varying results so I will let you know   Best of luck with your game(s).

TerranRich:  Thanks for your comment about the style! Given that my artisic style is somewhat limited, I thought a simplistic style was the best idea.  As it turns out, I think it has a similar feel to the Original Series style.  Oh, and I will contact you (via pm or #ags) when the beta is ready

Upper Tier Studios proudly presents:

Star Trek Newton - Episode One: Anomaly

“No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess”

-Isaac Newton


Story:

Crewman John Fischer is a recent graduate of Starfleet Academy assigned to the USS Newton, a
Constitution-class vessel currently tasked with performing scientific surveys in Sector 004. On
the completion of his first week aboard his new assignment, John begins to realise that the reality
of life in Starfleet isn't all chasing hostile aliens and meeting strange cultures. In fact, it can be quite
dull.

No sooner does he log this gloomy summary than the ship is rattled by some unseen force that
disables many of the ships systems! Isolated and unaware of what is wreaking havoc on the Newton,
John must get to his duty station and help himself and his crew stabilise the ship.


About:

Star Trek Newton is set in the Original Series era (around the 2260s) and the titular vessel is a
sister ship of the Enterprise.


Screenshots:

-Updated the screenshots with the new GUI

Hmm its  tough choice, but I am going to go with Mazoliin's entry since I love the character and want to see more of him!  Well done and congratulations on a second week of New Hourgame!

First of all id say its a pretty good attempt for a first sprite.  For the most part what you said is true; the right hand is a little odd and the legs are a little awkward.

Since it looks like you are using a 3/4 view, you would need to change the legs as they look like they are from a side on angle.I did a quick edit to show you what I mean:



4x


I also moved the left arm a couple of pixels left and the shoulder up a little to make him seem a little bulkier

On the whole though, I like the sprite.  He certainly looks the part of a surfer dude.  Keep up the good work

After playing all four games and deliberating for an incredible amount of time, I am going to give my vote to....

CodeJunkie

Congratulations!

However, I did like the rest of the entries too.  However, the main puzzle (I guess it was the main puzzle) was a fun idea and swayed my vote.

Maybe I should try an hour game one day...

I have a few pictures of this and that but I have no hosting ability.  I will process a few of them and upload them somewhere in the  next few days.

Everyone start saving for Brittens 2010.  It might be expensive since we are planning for it to be on the moon.

Lies!

Im afraid the rumours are true.  Consider this my triumphant return to lurking.  Now I need a new avatar. 

Hope you are all well.

Boo to Chicky!  Anyway Australia were unlucky, they played very well! At least I dont need to eat my hat though woooooo (i really would have)....Poor Kewell

Well to be honest, Trinidad played pretty defensivly throughout, without ever having the chance of a goal (apart from just before half time).Ã,  England, although not playing their best football, pretty much dominated the game and scored some well deserved goals, if not a little late.Ã,  Why criticise them,Ã,  Germany did exactly the same yesterday.Ã,  I thought it was a good positive perfomance from England,Ã,  lets hope we can build on our strengths for the knock out stages!

If Australia beat Brazil I will eat my hat!

Best game so far!! Well done Australia!

Sweden played rubbish in my opinion,Ã,  well done to Trinidad for a valiant performance with ten men.Ã,  England had a good start, second half wasnt too great but i blame the ref for a lot of the game, he wasnt great.Ã,  Just been watching the Argentina vs Ivory Coast game...pretty equal apart from the obvious.

Lets hope the Netherlands vs serbia game is a goodun, should be.Ã,  I hear good things from the Netherlands (but I always do but that never helps them)

Hope everyone is having a good time! I am.

After watching todays games I highly doubt Germany will get past the second round, their defence will not be able to withstand the better teams.Ã,  They arnt as good as they used to be.Ã,  I was enjoying Ecudor's performance though.

As for a winner, I would obviously like to see England in the final and i definately think they have a strong chance of getting there (as long as Rooney gets fit).Ã,  Personally i hate Brazil, mainly because of Ronaldinho as he is the most overrated player in the world.Ã,  I think an underdog will get pretty far in the tournament, like 2002.Ã,  Maybe Ukraine will do well since Schevcenko has got a chance to play now.Ã,  Who knows what will happen....

Good luck to England tomorrow and more importantly its a sporting event so everyone have a good time!

Hey its me, everyones favourite!Ã,  um i think i might go, but it maight have to be in July.Ã,  I have dissertation work to do in August as well as a field trip to lovely Norway...i'll have to give it a proper think though before i make any definite plans.

Peace out x

Er ignore this, my internet went crazy
