Background:

You should place it in the room script as objects are room dependant.

fuck yeah!

I was waiting fot that since I considered your room edit suggestions the most useful of them all.

I think it looks very nice altogether. But there's something strange with the anti-aliasing going on. Sometimes it's missing, sometimes it looks weird. You should work on that some more.

I made some rough lines to show the important parts.

This also makes me think of some sort of contest for best modification of the existing background.

Nice idea!

And yeah, that's a pretty great paintover. I especially like the glass front of the building, it looks superb.

Drawing, writing and even programming* are things I already did as a kid. Throughout the last 10 years I had different periods with different focus, for several years I didn't do much of any of this. Since 2006 / 2007, when I discovered AGS, I'm drawing and programming continuously again - sometimes more, sometimes less. It's all learning by doing really, I didn't study any of this and didn't do many tutorials either.

I'm in a good position for making games, since music is practically the only thing I can't do myself (though I do play guitar and bass ).


* You remember these old pseudo-laptops with a two-line display? One could code around a hundred lines in Basic with the one I had..

Nice entries everyone!

What exactly happened to the asphalt?

All the code needs to be within the hDoor1_look function, so you forgot two brackets. They should be automatically added if you're properly linking the function via the lightningbolt and [...] - buttons on the panel.

function hDoor1_Look()
{   <--
if (vDoor1Look == 0)
{
  Display("You see a door.") ;
}
if (vDoor1Look == 1)
{
  Display("On closer inspection you see a small keyhole on the large and omnouse door.") ;
}
if (vDoor1Look == 2)
{
  Display("You try to open the door only to find that it is locked.") ;
}
if (vDoor1Look == 3)
{
  Display("There is nothing left of interest") ;
}
if (vDoor1Look <3)
{
  vDoor1Look += 1 ;
}
}   <--

Also, this piece of code could be significantly shorter if you write it like this:

Code: ags

function hDoor1_Look()
{
if (vDoor1Look == 0) Display("You see a door.") ;
if (vDoor1Look == 1) Display("On closer inspection you see a small keyhole on the large and omnouse door.");
if (vDoor1Look == 2) Display("You try to open the door only to find that it is locked.");
if (vDoor1Look == 3) Display("There is nothing left of interest");
if (vDoor1Look <3) vDoor1Look += 1;
}

You don't need the brackets when you're just using one line of code.

Also, in the future, use the code-tags when you're posting your script, it makes everything much more readable.

Either check if cZombie is at the target coordinates and THEN do the animation or set a variable when he starts walking and check the variable when he isn't walking anymore. I think the latter would be the way to go as it could happen that he isn't stopping at the exact target coordinates.

Edit:

Code: ags

cZombie.Walk(500, 50, eNoBlock);
ZombieAni = true;

Code: ags

if (!cZombie.Moving && ZombieAni){
  ZombieAni = false;
  cZombie.Animate(3, 1);
}

I don't know about ocean spirit dennis and I don't know iceys previous games

Here's Oceanspirit Dennis' history in a nutshell, sponsored by Ponch.

Haven't played this one yet but I'll check it out soon. A finished game by Icey that got positive reviews? That's something I gotta see myself.

I also use Avira Antivir, but from the first posts in this thread I couldn't imagine what AVG is (I thought it was some AGS Plugin or similar)

Me too...

Me too  :

But I don't have Antivir. I used it many years ago and it sucked so badly that I decided never to use it again.

Why not rename them?

Also, this is all obsolete with the newest AGS version (at least what barefoot said).

Um.. seems to be solved.

I just saw Exit Through the Gift Shop in the theatre.. and it's just great! I mean, it's brilliant what they did and that they made this movie. Don't read too much about it before you see it though...

[Edit:]

What version are you using? In 3.2 there's a limit of 50 hotspots. Also, there's no "WalkOn" but only a "StandingOn" for hotspots.

But I'd do it like Mouth suggested, the script shouldn't get confusing doing this.

Edit: It should look somehow like this:

Pseudo-

Code: ags

if      (Hotspot.GetAtScreenXY(player.x, player.y) == hHotspot1) oObject.tint();
else if (Hotspot.GetAtScreenXY(player.x, player.y) == hHotspot2) oObject.tint();
else if (Hotspot.GetAtScreenXY(player.x, player.y) == hHotspot3) oObject.tint();
...
else oObject.RemoveTint;

If a game looks interesting to me, a one cup rating won't keep me from trying it.

Then what is the point of the cups?

Narf?

I think that makes sense, Ascovel. I haven't played the two games, but if they have little or none gameplay they shouldn't be rated (just like Life ) - or they should only be rated for the graphic/storytelling part and that should be mentioned in the review.

Yeah, what Khris said.

Otherwise a nice little game about a fat weird chicken.

Mad, please make a game in that style! Lots of love - Chicky.

In the works... and thanks a lot .

Good to hear that, it's a really nice style.

It seems you assigned the same view to both characters  :
