Cool game, but I cannot figure out the significance of the paintings

Spoiler

They relate to the books, right? but can't figure a number from it

Right on, Duelie!!(and Augusto Skywalker) Glad to see a thread on this 
As you push AGS to the limits, I think it would be an epic gesture of you to post a few tips on how to build an action game like this. Setting up hit detection and any kind of physics is a real feat, well if you'd seen my hack job attempts you'd understand 
Keep the updates coming you two!

We need more random smilies here, it's good for soul!

Is this an unchanged Monkey Island built in AGS?  should we expect any surprises? Perhaps you could elaborate on the development of your game, BlackMonkey.

Haha!
>> insert 'burden of guilt' into Baron
>> tell Baron that no Hotel-X causes sadness

The last episode of the documentary just came out, looks like they might break even 
Its a great watch, the whole series. Still haven't finished the game, despite being completely engrossed in the characters we've met in Double Fine, I suck at adventure games I am thinking... but I love them 

This sucks!
Now I'm going to have to work on my own game 

I believe you find the GUI in question, open the properties pane and set it to display when game is paused.

And now for a double post!!
Got a chance to play through to the end of 2034ac, had a bunch of good laughs! But not only was it funny, I now feel more cautious about the future... In general  I just hope global warming doesn't mess with our 12 months of winter in real life!
P.S.  I found one billboard especially appealing  I hope the subliminal messaging works 

I am gonna start making my run for the Mad River now...

Great comments Stupot.
I think we should make it a bit more obvious were to click to rate a game. As of now you click on the words "your votes?", it very much makes sense and has a blurb to go along with it... but I find it blends into the scenery a little. Perhaps also another link or a Blue Cup button in the "Player Rating" area.. I think most casuals are used to just clicking on a row of ghost-stars to leave their opinion.

1) Instead of the "Redirecting to download" page which disappears after three seconds, open the host page on a different tab and have a page that doesn't disappear saying "You are now downloading X. Enjoy the game. When you have played the game, come back and give it some feedback." (With a link back to the games page or even its feedback page.) That way, the player can choose to close the page themselves or leave it open while they play the game, making it more likely that they'll leave a rating. This will obviously only be directly effective for shorter games, but even with longr games, at least it's helping to encourage awareness of the rating system.

I like that idea 

Edit: I thought we were working on the Games With No Votes number, if focus is now on less than 5 votes...

Play 'Crankosaurus Prime' everyone!!

My theory is: Just make it make sense!
The last thing you want is the player to be screaming at the monitor, "How was I suppose to know that!". Even if it's hard and takes a while to piece together, the player will usually feel good when they figure it out, if there is some logic behind the solution.

>> give card to Nivram and ask it to read
>> pursue La Dame
I think it's time to put the droid out of its misery.
Alternatively: >> tell Guiltroid that the only cure for it's burdensome guilt is to pursue the DDD and make an apology! But don't forget to leave a trail of garbage so that his friends can follow him and rejoice over his salvation.

Baron: That keyboard is the only available in Canada, so of course I use it! Hold a kudlic to my inuksuk's nuts why don't yah!
Ponch: While I think it would be an honour to be executed next to Baron and Frodo, my contribution was fairly insignificant and probably not worthy of a bullet... 

Playtester execution!! Playtester execution!! Playtester execution!! Playtester execution!!

wait, I wasn't considered a Playtester was I? I mean I only got the first little bit...

[HOLY CRAP!!!!! IT JUST SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING!!!! ARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!! PONCH YOU SADISTIC COW !!!!!!1!11!1!!!]

Sooooo....
I sit down to enjoy some relaxation time to play 2034, having some good ol' fun.
Figure I've had about enough chuckles for a night, maybe I'll hit the hay (if you know what I mean),
*I'll just save and resume my delightful time tomorrow*, I thinks...
Can't find a save button?? so naturally I start hitting random buttons looking for that elusive menu, naturally.
Start hitting the F buttons... hit F9...
