Awesome.
<3 ur voice.

Agree with what the before comments have stated. You say 'Band' more like 'Bond' when if you're american (especially southern twangy) it comes out more like you would say 'Ann" like in 'man'.

I wish I could do british. British accents are coolest.

Yeah, just google 'shop windows' or 'store front windows' and you'll get what I was going for.

And yeah the car is probably a bit big, and the sidewalk could be wider.  

It's very dark and moody, and as everyone who's read this thread knows my coloring skills *S to the U to the C to the K* so, a careful recolor is most likely in order, something more saturated.

I might redo this whole idea, taking into account everyone's suggestions. But I doubt it... But I'll keep everything in mind for the NEXT drawing.
Ciao guys.

er... and girls...

Inbetweens...

Aliens...

Ninjas...

Vampires...

Or anything else...

I like the expansion, but I've gotta figure out a way to preserve the alley, cause I really want that in too, but I see what you mention.
Also even though I imagined it as a small little bar, (sorta coffee shopish) the front seems empty, I think some sort of awning, or something... just needs something... maybe a poster... I'd like to paint some advertisement on the empty building wall that's like faded and cracked, like one of those old fifties ads... It's not perfect, but since it's not really for any game, I think I'm about done... It started as a doodle believe it or not.

EVERYONE has been SO helpful.
I have one final question, as long as it's done well, how do you feel about what I call 'photo-sampling' e.g. the car?
Is it cheating? Does it fit in with the rest?

Thx -SAG

Edited, didn't like my own colors, so this one's in gray, think I'm gonna start doing everything in gray then deciding colors...

A final recolor, contrast, and door retexture. Anything noticeably need changing?

In png and gif.

You're gonna have to help me 'red'? I'm seriously color-blind for the most part, and methinks there was some sort of color loss either on the file or how it's being presented. Take it circle the 'red' and rehost it?"

*edit*
DEFINITELY some color loss... Investigating.

I'm getting some weird color distortion, based on if I use firefox/safari

in firefox it's seriously RED.

Edited in BMP format. With some hue correction... everything looks different in the previous posts... Technical difficulties the color red was there, but barely represented in my photoshop file. Thanks for the correction.

apparently BMP's are not allowed (blocked?) and so I loaded it in GIF, last one is GIF, and represents better colors.

About ready to set the WHOLE thing as B/W and re-color...

Based on what you guys said, I did some edits.





I dunno seems to be some color loss, on my screen maybe I saved them wrong... But you get the idea? Better?

Not sure but I believe older european cities (still think there are a few anyways ?) still have cobblestone streets... I can see how you could dislike them, but they felt right at the time.

Any advice on blending the lines?
I thought maybe create two layers, one black line set, one white len set, then erase one in part where it's needed...
Not sure how well that'll work, but methinks I'll try it.

It is separate layers, It's just when I lower the opacity it's too light looking in some places, I just dunno, I guess the solid dark outline's okay. After I did this one yesterday I did this one... It has much more harmony.

The car was a photo matched in, everything thing else is free handed.

I did most of it in photoshop
The first version is outlined in photoshop.
The second one is lined over in pant, trying to 'crisp' up lines.

If anyone has any tutorials on blending outlines, to create a sierra-esque effect, I'm all ears.


Solid color outline... Slightly different? I'm unsure how to apply the outline.


Color Without Lines

Lines without color.

  Chris Crocker's last name is really Jones...
I am just trying to start something taint I?

I clicked the link and got confronted by google in a different language... I was trying to flip through pictures of Miss Jay... uh Drag Queen Designer? (nothing wrong with that...)
And I go down to next and it's... Volgende...

I was like yeah yeah, next... I had to do a double take O_o

  *cough* maybe, someone is *cough* working on one using this... *cough*

I loved the Panorama 3d Effect Module <3 but taking the time to draw in center point perspective for each wall of the cube, was dizzying. Each room had to be plotted out so carefully.

Really you need a 3d program, and the knowledge to render, which I don't have, making the Panorama Addon (which I still love) too complicated for most.

This one was just made compatible with 3.+ Thanks to Wretched, (bows bows)

And the results once I learn how to use everything and tweak can be really cool.


The other one I'm interested in using is the AGS3d Character Plugin, since I have a copy of milk-shape and limited 3d ability.
Want to use it but, don't know if it and AGS Easy3d conflict.
Also intend to use the 'Theora Video Plugin' so...

Someone Out Here Appreciates it!! Keep it up modders, you make good games better.

  OMG, I'm so happy you could tell who it was.
Yes it was modeled on a GQ photoshoot photo.

I didn't trace but I did have the picture right beside so I could model.
:o I thought I goofed up too many places to really capture the likeness.

I was wondering is this size too large for a profile done for 320x240

And yes the blank hair is intentional. I kinda like the effect.

  This game looks really cool but glitches on STARTUP MAJOR on my Vista Machine?
Was it, / Is There any chance of upgrading this to 3.0 which games work with Vista?

  ALRIGHT NEXT ADVENTURE...
Wanna follow the spirit!
MORE MORE MORE...

Okay I downloaded the demo source provided for 'bogs adventure' written for AGS 2.71
I then took that code, ran it into AGS 2.72, and 're-saved'
That allowed me to import the code in AGS 3.1,
Did a test and it appears to be working.
So this should work with AGS 3.0-ish.

I'm not a programmer, I just wanted to know if the module was compatible, and this was what I thought was the easiest way to test it, if someone wants to come behind me and double check this, I welcome them to.
I'd like to know what if any bugs/limitations, the creator might foresee.

Post Testing:
The Demo Source, when updated, works fine. This being V 1.0 of the Mod.

BUT, when trying to import the updated module (the plugin available for download) I'm unable to adapt the 'control gui included' the one .gue (compared to the modern 'guf?')
Tried to upgrade it using the method I did with the demo game source, but I get errors.

Is the creator of this mod, still lurking around?

  I LOVE YOU... END OF STORY.

I think as long as you link back to the thread, or the site, "STRESS" that people should play ALL the games...
It's a competition, but I don't think anyone's that DESPERATE to win by not giving everyone a fair shake... What good is winning if it's 'handed' to you...
