well, this site helped me alot with its tutorials! It's just from the documentation page of ags site

http://sylpher.com/kafka/tutorials.htm

So, all the Dutch AGS'ers ready to go to some place? Rotterdam is handiest for me, actually... don't know where the rest of you live?

I live in Eemnes, close to Hilversum, so I don't really care for Rotterdam, though I've been there only once, so I don't know the city so well.

Could all other AGSers reply here, or somewhere else for maybee an AGSmeeting. I really would like to meet you all! For me is Amsterdam, Rotterdam or Hilversum ok. Though idf I have too, I'll be able to travel further, but I hope its going to be in the centre of The Netherlands.

Maybee.... we (dutch ags'ers) could set up some website where we can all meet eachother and talk about meetings, and dutch projects and more.

Why can't we arrange a meeting in Holland?? ... I'm too young, I mean I have no money to go to london! London is freakin expensive town you know! Let's all go to A'dam!!

though if we are going to meet in london or birmingham, can we then at least stay a couple of days... so it's not like only one day, because thats too fast past by. I will have to grab some money together for this.

the animation has been updated, I think it looks better now.

to hobbes : I already have my own idea on the Yeti! I hope you'll like it, but it's nothing you'll expect! And yes, you can see Bryce here, thats where I know everything about... so I do everything in it, and yes I also have traced the pics.

to custard :About that transparency ; I don't quite know the problem. When I import the penguin i make the white around the penguin another colour and then im importing it, so the white on the penguin stays.

to moresco : the name of the penguin is "Puddy"

to JamTorkberg : I'm already working on that, and I'm going to post an update, though I'm not adding a shadow of the table, because then it doesn't look good anymore in my opinion.

thanks for your reply, and im going to add some shade and redeem the brightness a bit. I think that this could become a pretty nice game, also because it will be the first one I release, and I kinda like the scene, because there aren't much games about antartica and penguins ... apart from tuxracer and penguin adventure from the MSX !

Hi!
I have been very much busy on my MAGS game these few days, and I made an animatedbackground. Plz tell me your opinion on this one, and also on the overall graphics.

this the updated version over the one beneath.

inside your home where mum and dad will be.


the walk animation of the main character


an ingame screenshot, wich shows the place you are starting at.


another background for the game, with some footprints of the yeti on the ground, and some ice, and mirroreffect of the icebergs.

I think that, it's wise to listen to critics, because you learn from them, although it's maybee not the things you want to hear. When I will finish a game, I only want to here things like " OOO great work!" and such... but I must remind myself that by getting critics about things, I can improve myself.

My personal rating for Flashbax, would be something like 75%, because I really loved the game, and also like others, got shocked by the second part, but I still love all the nice animations and graphics, wich counts for me pretty high, though that's just my opinion!

I hope you are happy now FOZ!

Wow, I read this ezine for the first time, and with it also all ezine's before it, and I love it! Yay, I was in the ezine I really really love it!

Well, here are some of my official screenies of the upcoming game. I've been changing the plot abit, and also the drawingstyle, and I'm happy about the results untill now

aah... only 3weeks to finish the game!

these sprites are really good! I can only comment on one thing. The drunk man. I can't find the eyes of his head, and also are his fingers a bit long, don't you think?

I REALLY like the old man with the broken leg!

goto downloads on the mainpage, and then scroll down to other downloads, and click USER WRITTEN PLUGINS. Somewhere on the bottom of the list of the plugins is the link to the snowrain plugin!

remixor, try emulating win98 in xp. You do this by rightclick at the exe of the game, then properties, and then the last tab, where you can select the render method.

So, I take it Buccaneer II should feature porn?

Isn't that the only thing that crosses my eyes when I walk in A'dam??

no, farlander, I don't blame you at all. I need every advice as a newbie to ags. I have respect for those that are here longer than me (not that I disrespect other :p) and I just wanna say thanks to you. Because I'm someone that is sometimes sinking into ideas and forgets the mainline. The thing I have done untill now, is first writing a plot, and then making some graphics, and then working it further out, and I see now that that's not the right way.

btw, yes strange how this topic turned out ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!! grr... lol! O well... I also must say that I'm too much at these forums and I should really lower the times I check it. I'm trying to check only once a day... and not every hour Greetz, and I'll hope to make some of you happy with a soon finishing of some of my games.

Well, I didn't had much crashes orso, but I did have had that the sound was very shocky! I didnt like that. like he-he-lo-lo-lo i-i am fion-na-na... like that. But I finished the game long time ago, and I can only suggest you install win95 ... im waiting in the meantime for TLJ2

Well, you are close remixor. First thing, I make/model the scene in Bryce, and then import the bitmap in flash, trace it, and then correct some things. I'll try making the flagpole another colour, and reduce the colours in the sky

Yes you are right, and I know that, but It's very hard to stick to a game, all the time. Maybee I just have a weak characterism of myself... well... you must know that I have set Phonebooth and Undeniable already on a halt, to finish first Sam&Moos... and im pretty far with that game, so It's gonna be ok, on the other hand, I kinda enjoy the progress, maybee even more than the moment that I finish it. But you do have a good point there.

About the picture, I made a better version with more shading, and a better sky. The car with golfclubs is going to be an object and not part of the background, but yes, I should make something that you know that a police investigatement is going on there.  Another thing, the colours aren't much colours because I wanted to make a realistic cartoonish style game.

Yes, I totally agree with you boyd! Take for an extreme example CJ, he coulda become richer than tony blair, but he refused it, and went for respect, wich I respect And to follow in the steps of CJ I feel kinda responsable to make some nice free adventure games for everyone to enjoy. Asking money wouldn't be fair. If you really want to do it straight, and you ask $1 for the game, you should give at least 75cents to CJ, because he made the awesome-est engine evah!!

hmm a quick addition to your latest reply teh crabe, I think your whole view of people at ags is wrong, because if I take for example ratracer, I see this great work TLJ, where I would have paid for, if he asked it, and its topquality in my opinion. So don't judge about people that they do better when they get paid in money, because getting paid is not only in the way of money... ohwell... you'll understand.... LATER

Ohw man!! If you are busy creating the best your capable of, I suggest you go offline man!! All these replys not even 30min from eachother. How will your game ever be completed if you check twice in an hour the fora well... not that I'm never here, but I never said I'd do 100% my effort to make a game, because if I said that, I woulda quit school, and I know that's not worth it, because all you have to do is add some naked scenes in your game, and people love it
