Never ever use JPGs, they screw up the image. Use PNGs instead, they are lossless and allow alpha channels.

Edit: Khris has beaten me, but I'm stating this once more anyway..

So could anyone upload that build to another host?

Seconded.

Happy ones, Chicky'n'tzachs.

Only a 'husband/wife pair'? 'heterosexuality is a given'? Why?

Nice!

Still have to finish the first one though.

Yeah, the house looks very simple and unnatural. Also, if you put mountains in the back, make them brighter and less saturated to mimic distance. And if it's not supposed to be a volcano, change it's shape, mountains don't look like that (well, volcanos neither, but they often do have a more cone-like shape).

Jiggling or not, I think the ponytail looks a bit stiff and could move a tad smoother.

Yeah, looking cool. But I'd definitely make the GUI darker and more discreet, it takes away the mood from the game.

You can check all the limits in the help file under Reference > System limits.

I especially like the white outlines around the characters. Why don't more games use white outlines??

I think all of dbuske's works include those fancy outlines 

It is pretty amazing that people are still looking forward to the game, though

I am too 

You forgot a parenthesis and I don't know what the end of your line is supposed to do:

if (mouse.IsButtonDown (eMouseLeft))  gIconbar.Visible = true;

As Mods already pointed out, you should post such things in this thread: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=36479.0

I'd expect the character to hang himself if I'd use the belt on him - Game over! 

[EDIT:]

1: Can someone spot the "parser error" in this piece of code?

function hHotspot1_UseInv()
{
 if (cEgo.ActiveInventory == iLeaflet)     // this caused the error
 {
   cEgo.Walk(123, 121, eBlock, eWalkableAreas);
   cEgo.LoseInventory(iLeaflet);
   Display("You put back the leaflet and shut the door.")
 }
}

EDIT:

2: Can I make it so multiple inventory items can be used on a character using ONE function, or do I have to copy and paste "function hHotspot1_UseInv() {}" over and over again?

Of course you can (copying the function wouldn't work anyway):

Code: ags

function hHotspot1_UseInv()
{
  if (cEgo.ActiveInventory == iLeaflet)
  {
  // stuff happens
  }
  if (cEgo.ActiveInventory == iWhatever)
  {
  // stuff happens
  }
  // etc.
}

..will check the game out tomorrow.

Nice BGs, but the upside-down crate's "This side up" is written in a wrong way. Turn it around and see for yourself  

.. or was it on purpose?

Make sure that 40, 198 aren't placed on an edge/region in room 1 that causes the player to change the room again.
