Ive come across this problem too, and solved it like this.    As you can see, in the left down corner I made the entrance to the bathroom. Just drew a small piece of the wall as you should see it from the point of viewing...

@abstauber, that could be true, since my maincharacter is losely based on myself...

The only reason I have not played CQ3 is that I read all the time that I wont understand most of it without playing the first two games...



Edit. Maybe someone could send me a screenshot of this famous barrel + crowbar? 

  You and I both, Ive been watching this topic every day since the start of page 2. Maybe the Barrel with the Crowbar on it could become a new hype? I know I will have them in my game, just for the heck of it! Lets just hope my game wont be as misunderstood is this one... 

Khris allready did the biggest  Part of it.

Just stand in your room and look at what you see. You wont be able to look on the toP of your lamP for examPle...

I think what the OP meant was that the game window itself is transparent, revealing the desktop behind.
If this is the case then no, that is not possible, probably not even with a plug-in (unless plug-ins can some how pick up whatever graphics are on the Desktop and overlap it with the game's content, which I think is not possible at all).
I'm not sure whether the bloaty fancy display options of recent OSes (or, when using some 3rd Desktop enhancements) would make windows semitransparent, but with AGS alone, it is certainly not possible.

Not even with a screenshot blended in the background?

Aha, I understand. Thanks!

Wouldnt regions also put you back in this same situation?

Are the coordinates set on a walkable area?

My life routine is simple: work and home. No friends, going out, women, outside hobbies, nothing. Just work and video games. So basically, I spend 16-18 hours infront of PC daily. I'm male and 26.

Only thing I have besides this, is creativity. And this also has become a terrible struggle lately. I mean, I have near-lethal urge to express myself somehow. Make something. Be known.

I try making music, drawing, making a game of some kind, make a video, 3D modelling... but sad fact is, I'm unable to finish whatever I start. And quite quickly really. I start a new track in FruityLoops, make a basic beat, try to add bass and I don't like it. Quit & play some game.

I start a project in AGS or Game Maker, animate main character with painful amount of quality and dedication, write huge portion of engine, save and close. And somehow, I cannot continue this project, ever. Whenever I'm the the mood, I open it, fix few lines of code, and close it again, without progressing thing much.

Opening old projects always make me go "wow" and think that "this is so awesome, I must be crazy not to finish it", but somehow, that feeling fuels me only to make little insignifant changes or addons and never to actually continue those. Also, I like video games. Too much. I start watching a movie, and 30 minutes into movie, I have urge to play something. Same with creating.

I have about 80 unfinished songs of different genres, over 300 game maker projects (of which most would surely be liked by players), about two dozens of AGS games... all unfinished with dim hope of ever seeing release.

Sometimes, I think that I'm doing it wrong. I shouldn't create at all and do something else. But there's nothing else to do. And this urge to do something, release, get famous - won't go away.

I won't add a question or anything to the end of this post. But if you have an opinion or advice or just anything relevant, I would love to hear this.

Very recognizable, you problaby have what I have  Adhd. The focus you have on making games, I have on music *making listening, playing* and now also on making a game, ( but I also like writing small stories, poems, and have discussions about difficult or edgy subjects), So I became an alternative Dj and thats where I get most of my social connections from. If you indeed have Adhd, there are medications and trainings for your situation you should check it out...

On topic then (or aftertopic)
   Monkey Island 1, Monkey Island 2, Dott, Nick Bounty 1&2, Loom!

Do you actually have a View 7,Loop 0,frame 8?

I think the stones in the street have to much detail, and too many different colors so it gets the unnatural look...

Okay: What about this?

I like the result!

I solved the imageproblem by making 5 buttons for the phone display. The phonenumbers contain 4 figures, so for each position on the display I made 1 button and  I made one bigger button that arranged the whole background of the display, for showing the provider and displaying messages like: Connecting and Wrong number.
So thanks for the solution!
Tomorrow I'll start working out the dialog.

Great, that did it! Thanks a lot!

When I'm using the phone and I use a command that pauses, like Wait(20); (to let the button image show up for a short moment) suddenly all my buttons get a shade while it is waiting. I suppose it just something that's right in front of me, but I can't find where this comes from. Any ideas?

A good demo! Thank you, Snake

I think the puzzle are logical. And sometimes you have to be very fast. Takes a bit to switch from arrow to hair cross (this was the hardest bit for me :-)
