Yeeesssss..... can't imagine why.

Seriously though, that was probably the dumbest thing I ever did. That's why I didn't edit it, because others apart from you can learn from your mistakes.

Also, I must admire your diligence in finding something with quite such poignancy. It really means a lot to me that you went out of your way to find that link and post in it what is essentially a nice, unprovocative post. Thank you so much.

what, you're telling me that wasn't an important time in your stay here at ags? and who gives a crap now anyway. i posted that as a joke. If there's someone out there still holding you to that post then that person has a problem.

jesus man i'm not setting out to attack you or anything, guess i should have added those hehe's

oh and flippy, next time can you not use such big words like diligence or unprovocative, I appreciate the link to poignancy but those other big words just blew my mind!

Thanks!

eric

ps Notice how not one person has mentioned it or made fun of you about it or cared at all? it was a joke

There must be at least a bazzilion more people that feel the way I do about that demo.

no there are 140 and they all post here... in the original thread...

why do you post so much?

Yup it was brought up in AGS Gen which can be found here:

and nope, i don't think it needs another talk in here. Just redirect all talk that would have happened here to there, thank you!

oh my lord, czar, just cause a game is in 3d makes it bad? that is what i'm getting from you.

how is it a pity that ron wants to do a 3d adventure game, wouldn't you embrace that cause maybe he'd do one that people would play and enjoy and love and then other people would want to make one?

in general, not directed at anyone:

i don't know what some people's problem is, adventure games can't be 3d and they can't be written by anyone else but tim schaffer and ron gilbert!!!

who cares if they've left lucasarts. when was the last time they worked there? how many years ago? let it go... they sure have. There are people constantly fluxing in and out of Lucasarts, if the only people who can write adventure games for LA are Ron, Tim and Steve Purcell... then we have a problem.

when i brought up the warcraft adventure game it reminded me that there are thousands of games a year that get pitched and never go anywhere. imagine how many awesome games and how many crap games were pitched. imagine how many crap games Ron himself [OMG NOT THE GOD OF ADVENTUREGAMES!1!1!] pitched that were crap.

i'm not meaning to be all RAR RAR ANGER ANGER! this is mostly a large build up smooshing out over you all. people always just default to things like "Lucasarts only cares about TEHMONEY!!" when you've never once ever ever set foot in the offices or been there for any meeting. Where are you people getting this information? I'd love to know.

to paraphrase the interview for WarCraft Adventures, the market isn't run by the coorperations or the publishers. The game companies want to make a profit yes, they also want to make what the gamers want to play. what do the gamers want to play now? not adventure games. so sorry so sad. what did they want to play 10 or so years ago? adventure games. and before that? i dunno RPGs? and before that and before that... The companies don't just get together and say "Hey, let's only sell strategy games now!" then they all do the secret handshake and leave their secret Only In It For The Money headquarters. And before you say "Companies should be willing to take risks! And make games that they love not know will sell!" And I say there are... Tons of adventure games have come out, longest journey, syberia, black mirror, runaway, yadda yadda. Then more of you may say "Yea but those games stink." Then I say, does every adventure game rock? not at all. Are there some people that like Sierra over Lucasarts? Yes. Are there some people who just loved Syberia? Yes baby. Then more of you may say "But those aren't game like Monkey Island... Ya know, 2d." and I say, shut up.

i'm gonna stop, this isn't a violent post even if the tone seems harsh, it isn't directed at anyone i just hope to change a few minds

eric loves adventure games but hates a lot of adventure game fans.

edit:  and for the record, everything that mitar has just said i think is dumb and i don't agree with him in the slightest.

You left this off your list

maybe he didn't lose his job...

just... gained a new one *wink* a heavy one that requires him to leave the country for a while... take care of business... *wink*

hehe oh those background tutorials by bubba... i remember reading them and being all "what?"

http://sylpher.com/kafka

go to games, then tutorials, those are all the tutorials i've written. i think i should do another background tutorial soon...

eric

necro, didn't moe tell ben about the secret hideout and that you're supposed to kick them when the lights line up?

that's not so hard, you're told what to do

mitar then what are homosexuals?

terran, guy and girl can be friends just fine. pesty and i are friends and i don't want to jump her bones. [and i think i speak for her too]

i've had a friend JoAnn for many many many years and i don't want to have sex with her, she's got a boyfriend and i've got a girlfriend and there's no desire. i am friends now with my ex girlfriend and believe me there is no attraction

i'm friends with my mom too.

eric

actually...................... a cartoonist friend of mine [if anyone's been to my links section and clicked on Infarct] was roommates with the guy who started realultimatepower.net

he's just a college student who had a funny idea, so i'm told

actually there was something telling you where to kneel from the razor blades in the last crusade

for all those people who downloaded it they'd never know, hehe

the game came with Dr. Jone's diary and it had the exact spot you had to walk to in order to avoid the blades, marked on a hand drawn map. just like the movie

there was another puzzle that you had to use the book in order to solve.

damn man, i loved that book. it even had coffee stains and hitler's signature in it

yea lgm that has nothing to do with it being cancelled

they stopped it because it was a terrible burden, they had never done a game like that before, they had to learn it all, the work was split up over thousands of miles [animation being done in russia] and they didn't think it lived up to the blizzard name.

so here we go, here's a little know adventure game that never got made that not a lot of people prolly remember or know about...

enjoy and discuss mayhaps

eric

ah well i guess doing a search online woulda helped but anyways

dammit, now someone is going to beat me to it... and by it i mean making THE game that brings adventure games back....

stupid entire world knowing about AGS... I'm going back to scramm... at least it was popular in a managable way

hehe welcome, we should get you and petlegair together

have you tried to use 5.1?

is there no option to index the colours in 5.1?

did you try?

no i've never played paintball, i'd be more interested in AirSoft

and a note to mitar...

stop posting so much and maybe you'll finish a game

try doing a search in the help file for:

Dump Text

i think that's what you want

eric

i can't see it, i can never see images on this service

i have a tutorial on how to do it in photoshop, maybe it can help since they are close to one another
