Whoa guys, thanks for the replies 

I guess I'll try to put more variations and add a bit more instruments, some strings, oboe, maybe even a flute 
As for the production issues, I'm afraid I can't do better with my intergrated sound card. I'll try to work on the piano sound, cut back on the reverb a bit, lose the echo and work on the dynamics.

@Viking
Thank you man, for in depth analysis. You got me thinking there 

I'm getting to it right away  8)

If you like or don't like the piece, please let me know. 

@Tuomas
Sorry you got bored 
I guess it does tend to drag a bit too long   I'm gonna try to shorten it a bit (a lot)  And as for vocals, I don't have a working mic at the moment and to be honest I'd prefer for this to stay an instrumental...

Anyway, thanks for giving it a listen

Come on people, keep 'em coming 

I was listening to New Age music a lot lately, espacially Bradley Joseph and Secret Garden and was inspired to write this piano tune. It's done in Reason 3.0 and all the notes were typed in, since I don't play the piano, I'm more of a guitar player

Song is called "When We Met", and the image I had in mind while composing was of a couple walking through a snow covered park, without talking just enjoying the evening together.

So please, all your thoughts and comments would be much appreciated

@Lt. Smash

Works like a charm. Thank you very much.
This could serve like a good tutorial of what you can do and how to use structs und arrays.

Thanks again

Something like:

Code: ags

random_number = Random(31);
object[random_number].SetPosition(4, 104);

I'm an idiot. Can't belive I missed that.

But the thing is, with that code I put one object to that position (position1), now I need to fill the remaining positions.

For example 8 objects into 8 predefined positions. I don't see how I could go about this, certanly not like this

Code: ags

random_0 = Random(7);
object[random_0].SetPosition(4, 104);

random_1 = Random(7);
if  (random_0 == random_1) {  // If the number (object) is the same
  random_1 = Random(7); //Choose another random number
  }
object[random_1].SetPosition(37, 104);
.
.
.

How can I make sure that all positions are filled with different objects, that is, how to always have a different random number?

Hi all,

Some time ago I had an idea to create a memory game (pairs) in AGS, and while contemplating
how the game would work I thought It would be a breeze.

Well, I was wrong.

I have everything  figured out, but one thing - how to randomly position 32 cards (for which I used objects) without typing thousands of lines of code.

What I wanted was to, before room fade-in, allocate cards(objetcs) randomly to predefined coordinates.

Something like:

Code: ags

random_number = Random(31);
if (random_number == 0) {
object[0].SetPosition(4, 104);
}
else {
if (random_number == 1) {
object[1].SetPosition(4, 104);
}
.
.
.
.
.
.

So, my question is how would you go about it? How would you randomly position, let's say, 8 cards in 8 predefined positions?


Hope I'm in the right forum

Cheers!

@olafmoriarty
Yeah, we were really worried about the pixel hunting issue so we decided to put larger hotspots so that the player doesn't get frustrated, since the dark room was intended as a sort of a gag. Guess it worked well.

Cheers!

Neo, I'm sure you'll be happy to read that i have now voted for this game. I'm glad you reminded me of this as I some times forget to vote.

Yay!!!

I've just finished playing and must say it's one funny little game. The dialog is hilarious. And the pauses between sentences were just perfect to take the humour to another level.
Good work.

- Neo Jezh

But we can't all like the same things, so I guess this is just a matter of taste.

Well, you're quite right about that. The thing is I'm not that easily disgusted by a cartoon or a cartoon like game. Perhaps I should have mentioned that some images might me disgusting. My bad.

My favorite part of the game: The "dark room trying to find the light switch feeling your way around" part. A highly entertaining concept.

Can't figure out whether you were sarcastic or you enjoyed the ride. Which ever the case may be I hope there are parts of the game you did like.

As for the cursors, yeah, I guess I blew it there with the similar images, but hey, gotta leave something for the next game.

Anyway thanks for giving this game a try and for telling us what you think of it. Much appreciated.

- Neo Jezh

First off. We got two blue cups. Yay!

@Eva & neon
Glad you liked it I was a bit afraid that the puking jokes would be a little too much, but we decided to stick to our guns.

At the moment we are currently working on the plot and puzzle outlines for our next game, which will involve the same main character. So beware, you'll be informed of it in due time

Oh, and one more thing. If you liked or disliked the game, it would be much appreciated if you could take the time and vote on the game page, so that I can show my non-English speaking  friends how much people like or dislike our game.

Cheers!

Wow guys  :o thanks for the comments. Nice to see you like the visual style. 

@Leon
Glad you liked the humour, wasn't really sure if it would work. And I'm particularly glad you liked the tune 'cause it's my little work of art

Once again, thanks for the comments. Keep 'em coming, good or bad.

[The Story:]

Hello.

After some time of playing around with the AGS and familiarizing with the scripting language, I finally managed to finish the first game and release it under the banner of Neo Productions. 

Here it goes…

The Story:

   The story is fairly simple. After a night out drinking Chuck manages to get home in one piece but, as you’ll find out, he can’t find his key anywhere. Since he still lives with his parents, he needs to find a way of entering the house without waking them up.
As I said, simple.

I hope you'll enjoy our little game.

Thanks.

Here are some backgrounds for our first game which is obviously placed in prison, so if you could give some hints on how to improve them, that would be great.
