I am looking forward to your game despite the crappy screenies ( since the idea of pirates and wizards being in the same game / one game seems pretty original to me ) ...seems like you turned them jpeg..jpg is best for photographs , not MS Paint created and similar works.
The backgrounds don't look too bad to me , in fact ( face? how the heck did that happen earlier? *laughs* ) ,  they look like something I might make but the conversion to jpg or whatever is why they look so bad otherwise.
I'll do my best to help even though I've already got a bit to worry about , but please be aware that I can be slow.
Oh , oh , and lately I haven't been feeling well.
Sorry everyone for my extreme slowness. *blush*

I usually hate western themed stuff but this is looking great.
( Freddy Pharkas is a pretty  fun / funny western themed game too if anybody here hasn't checked it out ... )

Ugh. I hate it when threads are filled with Hitler pics. ( sorry to those who think that sort of thing is funny )

*sighs*

"I thought there are people working on making sure there aren't any hate sites?"

like who?

one would have to define what a hate site is, if I have a site saying god hates people who think god hates fags, is that a hate site?

and I'm sure this is a joke site

I don't know , I just vaguely remember reading something somewhere that claimed that some group makes sure to get hate sites shut down as quickly as possible once they find out about them or something like that. I'm sorry , it's been a long time so....*shrugs* .   

Well , of course , I meant a hate site as in "white supremacist" / "racist" hate site. There's other kinds of hate sites of course that have to do with silly things like wether or not Jar Jar Binks is a cool character but they're usually called anti-sites instead of hate sites and usually when people say hate site they're talking about a racist site , then again there could be a new usage for the phrase that I was previously unaware of , but I'd be surprised if that was the case. 

I thought it might be a joke site because of the supposed creator pic and the comment about "always a hit with the ladies" but what else I saw of it makes one think that it could be a real hate site.

I thought there are people working on making sure there aren't any hate sites?
If so , looks like they missed one. ( then again it'd probably be hard to get rid of all hate sites completely , given how easy and quick it is to set up sites and how big the internet is. )
As for the "creator" pic , this guy thinks he's a hit with the ladies?
:

Since I didn't see any mention of "easter eggs" and such from other posts... For those interested :
The original game had to go through quite a few changes , due to censorship people ( I can't remember if it was some group within the lucasarts team or an outside group...and don't feel like checking... ) ....some of the stuff was considered too adult so they had the team dumb it down...if I remember correctly you couldn't put things like "suck" in your games so they had to change "Pretty soon I'll get to see your pretty brains sucked out!" ( or whatever the line is ) to something else.
Nurse Edna especially was suggestive , if you get caught she'll make a comment about tying you to the bed if you're a boy and saying "pity you're not a boy" or something like that if you're a girl. If you have somebody that can fix the phone..."Is this supposed to be a prank phone call? You're not doing it right. Here , let me teach you. *breathes heavily*" ..that's the sort thing she'd say at different points in the game , and some of the calendars and art ( like the mermaid ) are supposed to be suggestive too. ( ie the mummy calendar is imitating a swimsuit calendar or some such thing and supposedly that was a no-no for the original too ) "For a good time call ... " ( edna's number ...but they had to change it to be less suggestive ...sorry for any bad spelling here )
Thankfully back when I had the original , nothing or little seemed to have been changed and in the remake all the good "naughty" stuff is there too.
I just thought people would like to know some more Crazy Mansion history. oh and of course there was a television show once but it was different in alot of ways from the game series .
( I prefer the idea of giving it the title Crazy Mansion instead of Maniac Mansion...not that I'm saying the remake should have a minor update just for that title but just saying..lol )

Password?

aww...two boys hugging! *purrs and giggles*



Group hug!

I tried Kazaa Lite once , it wouldn't let me use it because I had the anti-spyware programs on...so I don't like KL either.
Then again I'd love to have something like Kazaa since it's the only way I can get the music I like that is near impossible or impossible to get commercially or whatever anymore. ( such as 80's music )
I know I'm probably just being silly but I am not sure if I should get the "paid for" version or not since...well..I can kinda understand spyware for a free version but would they be obnoxious enough to have spyware in the paid for version too?!
Hmmm.
 

I am going to check the price again since I forgot anyway how much the paying version costs.

Get spyware blaster and spybot search and destroy
great programs for spyware protection , prevention , and detection and best of all , they're free!

oh yeah , and of course , whenever you're told by windows or see something about an update , get that update!
 

I have a Wacom.. ( can't remember any subname or whatever...just Wacom )...but that plastic cover for it has gone crappy ,  ( dirty and torn in some places ) ,  and I lost track of my stylus , ever since the move I've been without stylus so I can't use my tablet. *sighs*
With my luck , I'd probably end up having to deal with error messages anyway even if I did have my stylus.

I have a wacom , but I lost track of my stylus ( the pen ) .
I don't know if what I can create with such things would be called pen tablet drawings , I always just considered them like my other  computer assisted / created art..."computer graphics ,  drawing , okekai / pendako or whatever ,  ect."
I didn't know for a while that the pen was called a stylus , unless there's some other sort of "tablet" out there that has to do with computers and graphics....I think there's touch screen capabilities with some computers but I am not sure if that includes "drawing" on the computer via touching the screen.
"Why? The thing is, LCD screen is actually a tablet- you place it horzontaly on worktable and draw on it in the same way as you would on paper. It can't get any better
The only problem is, it's still expensive as hell..." oh , oops , so somebody already talked about that. sorry.
Anyway ,  wacom tablets maybe cheaper than lcd screen but still can take some getting used to but it's easier for some art ideas than trying to draw with a mouse...If I remember correctly....especially anything curvy...it's hard to get good curves when drawing with a mouse.  And harder still to imitate handwriting with a mouse.  Just look at that quick "city" scene I did in my newbies forum.  The "grafitti" (sp.) looks crappy. I could probably do better if I had my stylus and if my wacom was working.

I love Smallville , ( well ...except for the fact that they keep using the "let's base this episode on kryptonite shower results" or whatever...if you've seen the series you should know what I mean! ...anyway...that gets old....fast. ) , but like some people , I don't care who plays superman and lois lane  as long as they look good and can act.  I really hope the catwoman movie that stars Halle Berry gets made because she was great in Gothika and looks fantastic as catwoman , in the original tv show , at least one of the women who played catwoman at some time was Black and she did an excellent job too.  So , in my opinion , unless you haven't seen the original or something , it's not that big a leap to think of catwoman as a Black character.  It's funny , usually I don't care who plays the role as long as I consider the person good looking and a good actor , but I absolutely hate how the movie version of Mystique looks ( although it's obvious from the body that the actress is in good shape and such ) ...in my opinion if they can't get the movie version to look as good as the comic book version , then just keep Mystique out of the movies.  I'd be a bit sad if that happened but at least I wouldn't have to complain about her looking better in comic books...  I love the rest of the characters , I think the movie version of Wolverine looks better than the comic book version...of course he's not accurate in terms of how big he is but the attitude and basic look of the character ( in terms of hairstyle and such ) is dead on.  I love the new X Men but I think it would fun to watch a movie with the "cheesy / old school" versions of the costumes too.

"Does a hero always have to be perfect?" :

No , I've played lots of games where the hero wasn't exactly what one would call perfect and liked or loved them ( ie the thief in Quest For Glory , the avatar in Ultima : Pagan , Locke from Final Fantasy , the guy you play as in Grr! , ect. )

Many games require you to steal at some point and for some reason you rarely have to ask permission to go into people's houses. Or , even if you can't get their permission / because you don't have permission , you can still sneak in.
Just think of all the items you get in a game that just seemed to be around for no apparent reason other than furthering the game...alot of times you don't have to ask permission to take things and there's nothing about them belonging to somebody else.

I hope you were just joking , but if not :

Yes , some sort of website ( doesn't have to be your own or whatever...just some page or site online that you upload pics too ) is a must. It would mean more work for you and it'd be more time consuming if you wanted to show off work via attachments by email or some such thing instead of just posting them somewhere and linking to the site. Plus , I think not many people would be interested if you wanted to do it that way.
And it's not like it's hard to find a good free site for pics or anything. *cough100megsfreecough* 

Camels and horses ( but mostly camels ) are often used in desert scenes too.

Nevermind. Ashen has given the hints at the bottom. *laughs*

Finally finished!
*goes back to sleep*

Spoiler

To keep the dojo door open , push the chair. To get the coffee from the guy , I think I had to use the mass stuff on him instead of the coffee itself...but it would've made more sense if the animation happened from trying to use the stuff on the coffee , not the guy. After keeping the kitchen door open with the door stop and giving Grandma the coffee , get mom out of the way by opening the cage ...pushing sunflower..and using the seeds you picked up on the bird...then tell mom that the bird got out of the cage...go downstairs and then to the washing room and chase the cat...eventually the cat will get into the kitchen and then you can steal the Brownies.  Oh , yeah , the cutting board and cooler...talk to the dojo trainer and he will get knocked out after trying to break the board. I can't remember what the cooler was for. Overall a great looking game but frustrating and buggy.

Oh , Fester's Quest and Run Hot are looking good.
Petri A. Ringwald and the Maxim Gun too.
Afro Jones : Did I already mention this? Anyway , yeah.
Unless they have hair combs stuck in 'em , afros rock!
Granny Zombiekiller : Hilarious plot , great graphics.
How often does one to get play as an old person?
*laughs*
======================================
Arg! I'm still doing it! I'm sorry...I do not mean to post so much.
It's hard to resist ...so many good projects to comment on and  I want to share my progress with everyone and stuff!

I just realized how unoriginal my previous response was ...sooo :

I usually hate Brown , but it reminds me of "old timey" stuff ...those
aged photographs / papers , Sherlock Holmes ( me and my father love
SH mysteries ) and stuff....very "can't hate it" sorta mood even though it's
Brown...like stepping into the past.
*heart*
