Nice work indeed!

I agree that you should use a different resolution (and that the graphics are beautiful  ).

@ Slasher: There is a quit button in the menu.

I haven't followed this thread closely, but I'm not sure about this:

Code: ags

void CheckRoomBackground()
{
  if ((intHour<6)||(intHour>=19 && intMinute>=1)) SetBackgroundFrame(0); // Night Background
  else if (intHour==6 && intMinute==0) SetBackgroundFrame(1); // Dawn Background
  else if (intHour>=6) SetBackgroundFrame(2); // Day Backgrund
  else if (intHour==19 && intMinute==0) SetBackgroundFrame(3); // Sunset Background
} 

I don't really get it, but the last "else if" will never be called.

Ha. I never noticed that behavior, because I never tried  . But now that you mentioned it I'm very much interested in an answer too.

Sweet! I'm looking forward to it.

It looks great! 

Beautiful gifs 

Seems to be working fine now, for me.

EDIT: No, not really 

I still have problems loading the site.

Ahoy Snake, and welcome back! 

You could reserve a consecutive number of views for the different outfits and different gender, and use numbers instead of names (e.g. male views = 10-19, female views = 20-29). You should also keep track of things like gender with a variable, unless it really doesn't matter throughout the game and the only difference is the appearance of the character.

Code: ags

bool gender = 0;
int outfit = 10;

function Male_OnClick(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button)
{
  gender = 0;
  player.ChangeView (10);
}

function Female_OnClick(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button)
{
  gender = 1;
  player.ChangeView (20);
}

function NextOutfit_OnClick(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button)
{
  if (gender == 0)
  {
    if (outfit < 19) outfit ++;
    else outfit = 10;
  }
  else if (gender == 1)
  {
    if (outfit < 29) outfit ++;
    else outfit = 20;
  }
  player.changeview(outfit);
}

What I meant is this:

I solved the issue using another font and a different lines spacing. The font's height was quite high.

Still, there's some space left at the top of the screen. I guess that's because of the default GUI bar in AGS.

Great work! Thanks everyone 

I realized that if a character's y-value is rather low (maybe 1/3 or 1/2 of the screen), the speech text is written lower than usual. Usually if the text doesn't exceed 3 lines it's shown above the character, but sometimes the lines are written all over the character. So it seems that the speech text has a boundary in screen height and cannot be displayed at the top of the screen. Is this correct? Is there a way to change that?

Congrats, abstauber, I really like your background! I forgot to vote though 

You only need to put the function once in the global script. I forgot to mention though that you need to put

Code: ags

import function CombineClues();

at the top of the global script's header.

So next I went with Cassiebsg's suggestion, but it keeps telling me there's a ( missing in the "if" line.  I copy/pasted it just as you had it, so I have no idea what I've gone and done now!

Yes, everything after the IF should be enclosed by (). But that line wouldn't work anyway because you can only have one item after .HasInventory. It should look like in my code above.

If you don't want to copy-paste those lines for every clue you can create a function in the global script instead:

Edit: I think you can't batch HasInventory either..

Code: ags

function CombineClues()
{
  if (cChristian.HasInventory(iClue1) && cChristian.HasInventory(iClue2) && cChristian.HasInventory(iClue3) && cChristian.HasInventory(iClue4) && cChristian.HasInventory(iClue5))
  {
    cChristian.LoseInventory(iClue1); 
    cChristian.LoseInventory(iClue2); 
    cChristian.LoseInventory(iClue3); 
    cChristian.LoseInventory(iClue4); 
    cChristian.LoseInventory(iClue5); 
    cChristian.AddInventory(iWholeClue);
  }
}

And then you just need to put this line everywhere you get a new clue:

Code: ags

CombineClues();

Very cool!

Could you update the link again?

This looks very nice! Good luck with the development.
