Yes, it does look cool, just some c&c to make it even better.

I don't know what style your game is, but you don't need to tell pang, because I guess all people understand that he shoots. You could say the line "pang!", as message in AGS.

Second the same as Danclarke. Try to make him take a pose with his legs. I don't know how you drawed the characters, but if you used layers, like I draw them, then just simple redraw the legs and reposition everything else.

And last thing, is that when you fire a gun, you shock alittle right after the shot, so you could let him shock alittle back, at the moment of the shot.

But it is really one nice animation! Keep up the good work! Yes, animating takes lots of time!

OK here's the thing...

I'm developing a new adventure game, wich I haven't announced yet (just because I want to have alot of progress before I show something), but now that I make some progress, I begin to doubt weither the adventure is a cliche, or just good. So I'll just explain what/where the game is about, in big lines, though I don't want to reveal too much.

Game title : The Void
Atmosphere : Drama
Game length : between medium and full length
Planned release date : beginning 2005 (optimistic)

Game story/plot : You are (as the player) an old man, wich name I haven't chosen yet. This old man is married for a long time. They had one son, but he is already grown up. Your wife is a christian with all her heart, and tried in the past to convince you to become also a believer, but you don't believe abit of it. That made your wife sad, though she accepted your choice, and left it there. You as the player, are pretty much burned out on life, and the only really important thing in life you have left is your dear dear wife.

The game starts at your own home, where your wife also is. Then after several puzzles and progress on the story, and having contact with other people in the town, like a good friend of yours, who likes to play chess with you (puzzle!?), the day is over, and day 2 starts.

cutscreen:
When you wake up in your bed, besides your wife, you go downstairs, take some orange juice, and also for your wife, and go back up. Then when you call the name of your wife, several times and she does not respond, you feel her chest, and there is no movement or heart-beat. You panic completely and grab the phone as quick as you can to call the ambulance. When they arrive and try to reanimate her, it seems useless, and they tell you that she past away.

Now the world of you (player), completely collapse, and you become really depressive and go see a shrink. He/She tells you that you should find a new hobby, or new dream/goal in your life. So this is where it really starts, to find something to fill the empty void inside of you.

My goal of the game is to let the player be able to play this game non-linear and be able to finish it in multiple ways. For example, you could do suicide, because you as player can't find any good way to fill up the void.

I want to make use of some sort of counter that counts your emotion. So every decision you make, could effect this meter. Depending on your emotion, you get several lines to say, dialogs to speak.


This is pretty much the outline of the game, as it is at the moment. I have planned to make the game have between 60 - 80 rooms.

I have drawn 4 rooms+animation, and the maincharacter+walkanimation.

Thank you for taking the time, to read the outline of my upcoming game, and as soon as I made more progress I will release screenshots and announce the game in, Games in Production.

Please give me all the support or comments that you have, because I want this game to be GOOD!

For those that are eager to know what the game looks like (underneath you can see the graphics of the game, on wich I based a tutorial I made, for drawing those graphics)

First of all very good game! It is one of the best games I've ever played, so far.

The Game crashed! Help me! When I talked to grandma and said goodbye, the game crashed with this error :

(Global Script line 2249)
Error : AnimateCharacter : Invalid loop number specified

I hope you can fix this, because i'd love to finish this game!

My favorite game ever is "Lazy Jones", from the MSX

and for the pc it would be "Fifa '99". All other fifa games suck, but 99 was fun. Played that a thousand times with my friend

I liked Mappomedia and also the thread with Chis, calling people every word I'm not supposed to say including "Dick strocking poofter fuck"?!

Also I liked all my own locked threads! It seems according to the stats, that I made the most new topics :p

Haven't been here for a week or something... but I have to say, cool improvements! I like it, that you see the actual username as tooltiptext!

Great Job!

Thank you very much strazer! Just one question, for I haven't tested it yet. Does this immediatley also work for objects, or only hotspots?

Ok, I just have no idea how to call it, what I want to accieve, so please don't mind the LONG subject.

I'm trying to make a GUI that when I'm with the mousepointer on an object/hotspot, that besides the pointer the name of that hotspot/object appears.

Could anyone point me to an already excisting tutorial on this, or explain to me how to accieve this? Untill now I really haven't got much grip on the GUI, and would like to learn it better!

Thanks in advance!

and they kinda stop at the tower with the hook...

well... it's gotta end somewhere!?

Thank you... weird that I couldn't come up with that. I looked up what graphics card, and downloaded the drivers for S3 Prosavage, and now it's working!

Thanks!

This is one awesome game! The only thing that bugs me, is that I have no knowledge at all from guitars, so the puzzle with were you must say wich one it is, at the piano... i just have no idea

But I like the puzzles and the dialog, and it's very nicely modelled! I'm right now at 47% I think...

I'll try later on the finish it!

Hi there! My monitor is very dark and before I formatted my pc I had an option in the windows display properties to adjust my brightness. Now I don't have that, and I don't know where to look for something like that.

I want to continue drawing for my game, but I can't when my monitor display is incorrect, so please help me!

So I need an application, or driver that would allow me to adjust my windows brightness settings!

Yes it would be great if you could extend for 1 or 2 days!

I'm sorry Kaaz, but I just came home today, and if I had the time. I'd made a remake of TLJ scene, in the nightmare. Hope that it cheers you up, that I really liked the rules... just couldn't make the time. I'll see if I can post it in critics lounge... tomorrow.

She looks great, and nicely detailed. The only thing that bothers me is the face. Is she laughing constantly? I'd make the mouth a little smaller, and add a nose to the face.

but very good work!

Hey there penguinx! Very cool logo's there! I was wondering, if you could find the time to draw a basic logo for "Solidus Software"? The one I have, with julius caesar on the coin, is just a cheap ripp from an already drawn picture. I'm looking for something that looks like it, but in another style, that is original. For the record... solidus means schilling.

I'd be really gradeful if you could find the time to give me some pointers.

Party on, dude!

or... you could buy any software you need  :

Damien your background is sooo awesome! It should be the winner already, i.m.o. !!

Peter Thomas, I do not agree with you about the masturbation part. It's wonderful that your also a christian, really I mean it, but I do not agree with you saying "It's ok because it's not in the bible".

If you ever heard of it, you have the Rhema word and Logus word. So you have the word of God in the Bible, and also the word of the Holy Spirit inside you. Masturbation is a form of sexuality. It's only based on yourself. You said yourself "resisting temptation", and this is one of them. It's a very hard one, I know, but with the help of God you can stand strong to it. If you think masterbating is a holy thing from God, then you know another than I do. Let me ask you this :

Would you masterbate when Jesus would be in the same room as you? That you say to Jesus : "Yo, wait a moment, I need to masterbate, but after that I will continue worshipping you!". That sounds pretty odd to me!

Well, just think about it, and if you want to talk further, it might be better to private message it, because it seems like this topic is going off-topic.

Hmm, interesting, let me add my 2 cents to the topic.

I'm only 17 years, so people might say, I'm way too young for this topic, and they are completely right. But the world as it is today forces us with every single way, to believe that it's good to have sex whenever you want that, with their soaps on television, commercials, music, games, etc etc...

I'm also a christian and I wait till marriage, because I believe sexuality isn't something between 2 persons, but 3. Man, Woman, and God.

Though I'm talking about this, I do have to say, I have trouble with it. I mean, with all those things around you, like pornography, girls dressing up sexually, and movies with naked scenes in it. It's really hard for a person of my age (i guess it's hard anyway), to avoid these things.

I also have had alot of trouble with masturbation. I'm glad I came free from that Thank God!, but it's also a sin. Because sexuality was created for a relationship. And relationship is always between someone and someone. Masturbation is focused on yourself, and therefor misses it's goal, wich is called sin.

I though do try to get a girl, do not misunderstand me on that, but I just try to keep everything in line with God. I accept/respect also what other peoples choices are, though I do not agree with their actions.

I hope you got my point!
