Hi, I've played a little your game ( after figuring out how to download it :p )

I couldn't play it long, as I encountered a bug + The walkcycle drives me crazy.

bug : while returning to the flashing tree, after beeing with the "under mushrooms" tree, you get stuck in the air, on the left side. And cant move or do anything more.

here is a screenshot.


the walkcycle : this is really too slow, then : boring
even more, when you are far away, this takes times to move on the screen.
BTW, did anyone notice the ass twisting of the main character while moving to a upper position ? I liked this one but that was overall too slow ...

So I didnt play it long and far, as I got stuck there.

this thread looks like beeing forgotten :'(

me again

that would be nice from chris to add the link to the torrent page of the game, on the game page ( near the mirror download thing) , no ?

Thank you to consider this =)

This is just so great
I mirrored my own only game right now !! ( so I am ranked 1St downloaded game lol )

Do you need some mirroring ? I guess I can mirror like 20 Gos on my "torrent :p" server, but what must I choose to mirror ? random files ?

Thank you.

ps : have you tested all the files ? some GAS games link to dead website etc, I guess they can't be in the torrent.

ps2 : for the ones that doesnt like bittorrent, it is well used, not by anyone, but at least you must have it , great MMORPG are know avalaible in bittorrent ONLY ( anarchy online ... Knights online too I guess ), and many game sites provides patches and demo in bittorrent too, to prevent the cost of really huge hosting webservers ...

[Where to display it ?]

Hey again glad you loved the idea

Where to display it ?

well, I was wondering was is in the "Games Showcase" of the main page ( index ) ? This is always the same games, you could put one or two random game there no ?

And on the game page

Maybe the "pick of the mounth" is taking to much place, one full page, and you barely see the "option 1" below ...
Maybe resizing it a little bit , splitting the table  in two parts vertically : on the left : pick of the month, with a shortened story line, and on the right part : the random game.

Plus
you could think to add Option 6 : pick one randomly  , that would be useless if you consider using my first solution ( splited table ) , as you only need to refresh the page, to chose another one.

Maybe below the shown random game put a link to games.php itself : "Show another random game" , "Launch the wheel of chance ... :p" just to refresh the same page ...

voila

Hi

Nice screenies

I was just wondering , did you use game packages for the graphics , like : RPG MAKER 2000, or something like this

or did you draw everything yourself ?

Anyway, courage ! And keep working 

depending of what do you hear by rock :p

bon jovi was long hard, red lipstick and girly clothes in the 80's

Mettalica was a bit more hairy, with beards and mustaches.

Cradle of filth is all painted in white and black ( KiSS too :p )

well, modern rock band just look "normal", so I guess you sketches are okay !
You're drawing well, by the way

Unlike some others this is more like my kind of tastes in music

I like the work you've done. Neat

I send you PM about something else then

Sorry bout the two posts in a row. I wasn't looking. The head could probably be made just a little smaller. I need some help with showing the gender of him.

plus the shorts look like a dress, and he is wearing little sockies and tiny shoes, that's okay, but really girlish

no ?

I didnt get the intro cut scene with the version I downloaded today.

Is that normal ?

Hi

I am registered to AGS for quite a time, but I havent read all the forums, I admit

But what is MITTENS ?

I've sought the internet, it looks like it is winter gloves But I am not sure of my translation !

Thank you =)

ps :  I've guessed that this stands for "MEETING" ? right ?
or is this the name of a town, firstly that was a kind of evil cat ( kitten / mitten ) ... well

Thank you for your lights

Hello

I know this feature must has been submitted or used before,

but what about a "random game" , with title, screenshot , somewhere in the site design.

That would give so chances for unknown game to be played, unless everyone play only the awards winners and the monthly picks ...

this is a idead that could be linked to the banner idea : http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=24319.0

As the game could be displayed there to ... I dont know, this is just a design issue, but for game creators and visitors this will be a cool improvement

Thank you

right every material, open, free or commercial is licensed.

Open source materials are submitted - generally - to the GNU GPL license, which you could read and know how you could modify or reuse some elements ( which is allowed, but refer to the corresponding license first ).

respective Authors MUST BE credited, and you must respect the way they authorise you to use their work, depending on each license.

For commercial material, is it seized by the Copyright, I guess, and I guess that you cannot use any of those material, withouth express authorisation of their owners.

And I think they wont allow you to do so, and wont answer to your claims as well.

You should give a try tho

If you make an amateur production that noone will never know, I guess you can use whatever you want, but this is not *legal* , AND if you get caugh, they could ask you to erase anything concerning the copyrighted material, ( this is the best case ), the worst one is that they could sue you in a court of law ...

I dont think they would as long as you dont make any money from your project.

Example : I remember that the GARFIELD adventure game was removed because of copyright issues no ?

My advices :
Always use FREE material - under GPL license ( or any equivalent license ), and everyone should do so, or use their own and original work, of course.

DO this with FREE ( open ) sofware only, or software they own the license for.
I was in many game projects with friends, we always stick to free solutions , examples : The GIMP, BLENDER, apache ...

Many use Photoshop, 3D studio max, ... and  they dont have the license for them. The pictures produced with those softwares contains watermarks ( invisible data ) that tells : "done with such software, such version, such license", and their respective editors then can know if you are using a stolen software.

Anyway, every artistic production can be achieved with FREE software, as they can do almost the same as commercial ones.


(dont care of typos :p)

seaduck your edit is just so great.

for scott : you should really work on proportions, even if your character must be cartoony, it looked a little bit too slim and misproportionnated (?), I know this is an alien, and that I've never seen one in real life ... but Your should have a look at it

[Oh yes I Agreeeee]

Oh yes I Agreeeee

I just wanted to tell that I agree with andail for this year contest.

For the first point, anyone could ask to rate a 2005's game ( as the creator may not be there to ask for it ).

This will reduce the games to rate for the conquest : OK.

A point

but
Maybe anyone should ask to rate any game, and IF there are too much to rate at the end, you should only pick the X first games ( 30, 20 , 10 ? ) in "anybody" will list. That reduces again the number of games to be rated but can sound unfair to the unknown games that will be proposed only by their creator.

JURY SELECTING

AND : how do you plan to select the jury ? I mean, from my own experience, I am a adventure game hardcore gamer, I've bought the first Lucasarts games when they went in shops like 15 years ago, I'm still addicted to this kind of games, I've made some myself during the last 10 years, but released almost "NONE" on the internet.
I studyied art, am found of drawing and pencil skills, like music too, can appreciate skills in story writing, composing etc ... and leaded some MMORPG and adventure game project with my team, but I am not really active on this board, so I certainly won't be in such a jury, as I am unknown ...

So what are your criteras ( requirments ? )  ?

Categories

Maybe more catégories could be proposed, for the Oscars Ceremony, there are much. : Best performance, male, female, sound track :p

Well for a game you can keep your existing categories but maybe split some, like :

Graphics could become : background, and characters, and animation, movies or cutscenes ( if applicable )

Sound could become : soundtrack, sound effects ( ambiance )

And story could be : interested of story, imagination, and fun. ( a sad story can be interested to play, a game can be really funny, with jokes etc, but the story can make nonsense ... )

And the special Palm of the jury for : encouraging beginning, or "unratable" , I dont know.


Conclusion

I sure will keep an eye on this thread

Hello.

I am french, my english is fluent.

I can make the french translation for your game ( or vice versa ).

The french adventure gamer community is really huge, but most of us suck in english. If you want to reach a wider number of players, just ask me to make your translation.

Example : Medium length games can be translated in one day of work.

The only thing I ask, is to display our logo / name in the credits or at the beginning of the game.

Why go on looking at tv when U can have so much fun on the internet
and if u REALLY want to watch tv, get satellite and switch each time u get ads

Well, started to play it tonight, ended in one hour and an half

The main story was fine, but some things were a little too obvious, anyway, you did a great game

I haven't been stuck a second, seen some bugs :

Spoiler

1/ the dog turns into a blue AGS cup for one or two frames when using it on the cat
2/ On the main place in town, when you use inventory item on "nothing" ( on street per example ) zale walks all the way left before moonwalking in front of the magician. I was near the pimp when I accenditaly perform this.

[close]

u got pm

just thought this treath was technical !! and related to AGS as I were asking how to share big ags productions.

Moderators just think it is to put in the same basket than "I love britney spears" and rate my poo forum ... That's ok

Hi

I am going on porting my old QuickBasic Games

The last I did ( 97 ) was a huge effort of mine and used sound, flic anims and all backgrounds and characters made with 3DS 4 ( dos version if you remember :p )

the point is, all the package is actually about 70 Mo, and I guess that porting it to AGS wont be lighter ...

How can I provide such a huge file to download, I have a professionnal hosting, that hosts several of my domain names, but I dont want to be sued for data hosting and bandwith abuse ! As I dont want to see my websites closed

I can host it myself too I have an apache machine at home, but my connexion is only 2048 to it will upload a 40kb/s max ...

The last thing I though was about putting it somewhere in a free anonymous space and re-upload it as soon as it is deleted

Actually that was not the last stuff, I can put the ZIP file under my shared directory of EMULE, with a significant name : "gamename Adventure game Studio freeware english no-cd pussy extreme bondage.zip"
to get sure it will be spread

Anyone got a clue ?
