What's there to discuss?

It's a GREAT game with tons of professional animations and dialogs. The story is SO complex I could hardly follow. Finally the characters are VERY versatile.

@ Darth:

The file is called "compiled". What could it possibly be?  :

I made cChar1 by editing cEgo1 bmp files, so they are exact same size, but on game it's different ?! 

In case you just edited the .bmp files you still have to import these new sprites (and replace the old ones).

All images are saved within AGS, so the editor doesn't open image files when running/editing a game.

Wow, didn't think I have a chance with ghosts and abstaubers entries, but as always it's a matter of taste....

I don't think I have time to make a new theme for a week from now. You either wait a bit or someone else starts a new competition..

I really liked that teaser. The game sounds interesting, the music is nice and I like the idea of the two dimensions. I'll be keeping an eye on this. Good luck with further progress.

btw. there are few german named game with an english language - like Uebersoldier or Angst (okay, that's really old)

I think "ueber" and "angst" are commonly used in english, just like "kindergarten" and some other words..

I think its not that her shins are too short, maybe her thighs are too long?

I think it's both. The legs have the right length but the knees really are too low.

Anyway, I think I'll go for lower resolutions

That would make sense since 400px height is very large for a character.

Perhaps there's something wrong with your on_mouseclick-code in the global script. Would be helpful if you post it here.

Me neither, but I wonder why you make your characters so extremely large. It seems their height is about 1/3 of the room. That is much..

So: I'm scrapping this one - the list of problems has become too long.

:o What?

Do you really care about a 100 % correct perspective so much? I'd keep it, it would hardly bother anyone playing the game, not even those who'd notice that the perspective is not quite correct...

That's strange. Are you sure, you didn't put both run-script commands in the same dialog so that they both run at the same time?

I know I can make the area at the base of the barrel a 'non-walkable area'.  But the barrel can be picked up and moved to another area in the room.  This will then leave an empty area in the room that my character cannot walk on.

This wouldn't be a problem since you could just make a walkable area appear after the barrel is taken.

But better do what zabnat said, it's easier..

Damnit. I wanted to enter but I'm not at my PC these days. Well, next time..

@abstauber: Nice in the way of nicely drawn...

Where's that? 

Obviously where all the other things are: at the panel on the right. There's a GUI section where you can add, delete and change GUIs.

You should probably go through the GUI section in the manual. It's in "other features" I think.

Can you click the items (e.g. use them)? If not then perhaps there's something wrong with your GUI. Do you use the given Inventory GUI?

Did you perhaps put that code in a room's script? Then it would only appear when looking at the item and being in the room at the same time. You have to put it into the global script.

It's nice but you forgot to draw the hands like they're in the given example

Sorry, mods, I checked at least half of the videos you posted and one is more rediculous than the other. If there's a tiny lightened point in the air then why does it have to be an ufo? If there's a flashlight pointing at the trees then why does it have to be an alien?

Can you please make a vid on how to get a flashlight on trees to turn into strong lights in the sky moving around in formation?

With the flashlight I referred to "the freakiest of all the UFO/alien etc videos" Mods has ever seen, the
"Most Authentic ghost footage of all time???" how it's called on YouTube.

Well, all you can see is a flashlight in a wood first pointing towards the camera and then moving over some trees. That's just rediculous.

Are you just going to deny it is real because you can't see a UFO coming over to the camera with a sign saying "I'm an alien"? Anyways, unless you can identify what the lights are, there isn't much you can disprove about them being UFO's. If they are alien, I dunno, but I wouldn't really be surprised.

1. No, there's no need for a sign like that. But it actually has to LOOK LIKE SOMETHING THAT'S NOT FROM EARTH. I've never seen something like that and no video has ever shown something like that. If there are some lights in the sky, then WHAT THE HECK? The sky is full of flying stuff but it's not full of UFOs!

2. I want to see it myself. I don't want to see blurry footage that could be anything - faked or not faked...

3. What do you think is going on then? Some UFOs entering Earth's orbit, unseen, unscanned, unrecognized, quietly moving around? Only seen by some guys with a cheap blurry camera? And they don't matter, they're only good for appearing on YouTube? And does one need a third eye or something to spot these saucers?
What are they planning? To bother and irritate a few people at night? No contact but Eyecontact? They just want to present their latest technology to impress those savage humans..?

4. And last but not least: How come you people can live a normal life when believing that every week a flying saucer passes earth? Is it just everyday-life? Interesting but not astounding?

The strange thing is that she looks both pregnant and bellyless at the same time. I mean everything the skirt is hiding is just here legs since the knees are located on the lower part of the skirt. I know it's an 'abstract' comicstyle you use there and it looks fine altogether but I think her legs are too enormous nevertheless.

I suggest making the legs a bit thiner and/or put them a bit lower. As for the skirt: You could make it a bit thinner too, but - which could be helpful to avoid her looking pregnant - animate it, so it won't look too static and massive.


I just want to add: Great style for an adventure. I'd like to see more of that..

Your script would be more helpful than these backgrounds..

Sorry, mods, I checked at least half of the videos you posted and one is more rediculous than the other. If there's a tiny lightened point in the air then why does it have to be an ufo? If there's a flashlight pointing at the trees then why does it have to be an alien?

Why do you watch these videos? If you see an ufo yourself, hell, yeah, then you could and perhaps should believe that there's something going on but don't believe in such stupid faked or real footage that doesn't show anything.

It's clearly some strange and dangerous creature. If you really see this "everywhere you look", then I'd go to a psychiatrist if I were you.
