to hide a character i usually just stick a:

character[CHARID].x = -200;

in the script and it sticks him well out of the bounds of the screen

then when i want him back i just:

character[CHARID].x = whatever the x was before

so am i right...

you're upset that people are interested enough in the AGSezine and that it's popular enough that they take time out of their day to contact you and ask you when it's coming out?

must be rough man

heeeeyo

here i am again with another non game related bit of art that i was hoping i could get crit on

i drew this for jess and she left before i could colour it

i'm fine with the line drawing, i don't care about anatomical mistakes but if you want to point them out i'm always up for hearing you out.

http://www.sylpher.com/kafka/junk/lollypopc.jpg  there's the coloured image, what'd i'd really like is advice on colour, obviously i was going for a certain look with this but it's 5am and i don't know how well it came out.

if anyone wants to give it a try go ahead with the line drawing here:

just don't make me cry by being better than me

love,
eric

i'm realllly sorry to interrupt but i just had to say...


In Cold Blood the movie sucked hardcore... compared to the book it was just a bunch of random things thrown together to get the story across..

blarg blarg...

but anway

You're welcome I guess...

i don't think they have too, especially if you put in the readme or something that it can be distributed just as long as nothing is changed

man i wouldn't be able to handle all the Czech emails I'd get asking if it was ok to mirror 6DA

rock on the chrille

seems like everyone's gettin' a lil' sumptin sumptin

i'm asking one more time, please please please please please please

jeez DG i think you're really off the mark here

if you were planning on helping him at all you would have done it in your first post which you didn't, sure you were being comedic but was it necessary at all?*

just tell him some places to upload and ask him to please not type in all caps, everyone wins.

what's everyone's problem with this guy?

raggit, his post was polite, he even said please, granted it was a double post but so what? a mod can combine them later.

eric

*and i don't want a broken down explaination of why you feel his post was stupid i just want you to stop a second and question if it was worth it and if simply helping him wouldn't have been better. you can't expect someone new to AGS to come in here and automatically know your humour

i have some platform games knocking around in my head

i have started hating platform games cause they are so repetative but lots of people like them and they translate to other consoles [read: GBA] easily.

platform games seem the safest route cause they can be played by many age groups, there are just as many kids playing Mario as there are teenages and adults, unlike other more complex games

If you could go back in time to 1970 and bring one technology from current games to show people what would it be?

6DA GOTTED TWO AWERDS?!?! WHAT THE CRAP IS THIS ASS CRAP!?

speaking of cornjob... where is that hawaiian bastard?  a friend of mine just moved to hawaii till december and now he lives on his uncles hippy farm with woody harrilson

quick little comment right now...

the top of the window looks odd cause it's so off perspective with the ceiling and his face looks really light but maybe that's cause i'm not at full zoom viewing him

the biggest complaint i have about the game is that you'd discover something amazing like a room behind a wall with shackles in it and you couldn't tell anyone about it. The only character that got scared died right away and then all the other characters were headstrong or too young to care. As far as I remember no one really got scared and when whatsisname in the leather jacket did start acting suspicious he just sat there in the dining room looking at papers and yelling at you.

i wish the house messed with them more. it seemed to me that the house existed on another plane and i pictured it on a floating island in the sky no one getting in no one getting out cause of the ghost. The ghost brings the car in for some reason that is never explained and it shouldn't have stopped there. Come out of the bathroom and try to go downstairs but the stairs are gone. Doors are added and taken away when someone steps through them, brick walls appear inbetween doors and rooms you've visited many times. This is the same thing I missed from I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream, the act of being messed with by AM.

The car was great, when it appeared i was confused in a great way, i felt "there is something going on here that is crazy and i'll soon learn." but the car seems to be added mostly to give you the lock picks...

more on being messed with: I kept waiting and waiting but it never happened, I wanted to walk into the dining room and see the picture on the wall changed a little. Like he's facing a different way or he's a little more menacing. I wanted to see small things changed in the house day by day or even second by second. walking into the hall with the staircase gone would have screwed me up pretty good, but walking into another room and noticing something is off but not being able to put my finger on it, even better.

I agree with the big brother, music music music and footsteps DEFINETLY! unknown footsteps moving through a house while you're downstairs, things scraping on the ground, doors closing all the stuff that scared the shit outta you in Silent Hill.

Now these are just the bad things i felt were in the game or things that could have been improved on, consider them as a critique. I loved the game and thought the animation was amazing the dream sequences quite well done and the art was amazing [though some of the lighting was too banded for my tastes] The walk cycles were absolutely amazing, verrry smooth, i was jealous.

all in all a great game and can't wait to see more.

as i said, the problem isn't just it being rude, there is no place for me to upload it to cause of it's rudeness, sylpher wouldn't want it on s.com and the people who did see it had no ideas, wanna put it up on mappomedia?

um, i have an image but i can't put it on s.com for obvious reasons and i don't know where else to put it.... it's quite... TEH RUDE! if you will

so uh maybe i'll just send it to DG and he can figure out what to do

eric

are you implying that Plan 9 is NOT a reality TV show?!

someone needs to learn their history!

hello

it's already linked to in the critics lounge

yea i don't see any real uncalmness going on around here

mappomedia was a joke and always was. just someone dickin' around and it was funny.

what i miss is petlagair's french humour

obviously the best humour cause it's french

hey no worries GG, i wasn't offended you can think what you want about my game i'm sure tons of people hate it [unless you're czech], i was mostly making a joke

and i figured you were being overly dramatic and DG took it wrongly [it's funny how just about everyone here is overly dramatic and yet we have a hard time sensing it in others]

on short and long games: if someone feels bad that their game is called short or whatever or their award isn't given out last then that's their problem

6 day assassin was a lot of work for what it was but i'm not gonna cry foul and try and hold it up to pleuburgh or tierra or rob blanc. it's a game i made in 6 days and it's a short game. the shortest maybe, not counting that one RON game... i hope the same would be done by all people. realize what your game is and compare it to others. it may be a herculean effort to you [heh] but imagine making KQVGA with a team of people on the internet or PB... by your damn self.

that's why i'd agree to let the designer place the game in the category they chose. but this would be a lot of work.

and on the whole appreciating a game thing:
apprentice is a short short game. a lot of work went into it for sure, so what should we praise it on? the game or the work that went into it? The art was amazing, the puzzles were good [cept for the cheese] and animation was superb the music was real nice and there even was voice acting. But if you try and stick that up against Fatman... This is when I wonder how to choose. Let's say fatman had TERRIBLE voice acting, like all of it was done with that text to speech generator and then you put it against apprentice's little voice acting part. Do you choose fatman cause it's bigger and obviously took more work, or apprentice cause it's actual voices and obviously better?

it's 7.30 am so i'm prolly rambling i'm sorry

i just hope people don't really put too much emotion into the AGS Awards. as in if their game doesn't win they die inside.

eric is going to bed

wow i love it when the people yelling and fighting continue to do so even when it's obvious Mr Jack is joking around

i would be honoured to work for Mappomedia Industries but only if you'll consider aquiring my company and then you can become a conglomerate!

I can start right away and after the standard 3 week waiting period of a salary [c'mon guys this is how all business does it!] i can't wait to get my parking space in that awesome upsidedown pyramid!

oh and is it a problem that i'm an ignorant american?

i can change!
