Well, on the 6th day Lucky, but I don't understand the concept of the trilbys.

Spoiler

I can't get all 3 pieces of the Welder. I can get the knife, and the mask from upstairs, but I run out of trilbys by then, and I die when I leave. How do I get past this I have tried everything.

EDIT: Woo! Finally finished it! I don't really get it though. I didn't really understand Trilby's Notes either. Was TN about the creation of:

Spoiler

the idol and the chzo clan?

[close]

And this game:

Spoiler

I don't get why there are cloned trilbys. I read every thing the game offered, but I still don't get it. I also don't understand Mr. Somerset's position. How is he the wise man who can teleport? Has he joined the clan? Is there something I am missing?

Wow, great so far, have I made it the farthest? Im here:

Spoiler

I have the "idea" of a pickaxe, and the main corridor is changing, while the girl (not Samantha) is chasing me wearing the welding mask and holding the knife. Instead of the Medical Storage Room, there is the door from 5DAS, and it takes me to the shed from 5DAS (I got the "idea" of the pickaxe there). Now in the Dorm Room, where the bunks are, the door to the right is glowing. In that door, I am in the kitchen from 5DAS. The woman wearing the welding mask comes from the right door. If I use the pickaxe on the "idea" of the hole where Trilby found John Defoe, the game says that the hole recognizes the pickaxe, and the woman leaves, but I cannot do anything after that, except leave.

If any one is stuck where I am, or has gotten past that part, help would be greatly appreciated! Great game so far, I'd like to finish it! 

Woah I didn't know Vince already put it up lol. I guess I should be more frank in times like this.

The following were featured in Games for Windows magazine as the best free games:

These were under Adventurer's Island- Save the [blank]. Save the world:

Chicken vs. Road-

Clucksworth is finally ready to see the world. The only thing in his way: the road. This goofy but short graphic adventure will make you laugh- and probably hum "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" for days.

Ben Jordan: Paranormal Investigator-

College grad Ben Jordan turns to the paranormal to earn a buck in this Sierra-style graphic adventure. His first mission: discover the secret of the Skunk-Ape, a Bigfoot that got its name "because of its horrible smell, described as a mixture of moldy cheese, rotten eggs, and dung." Yum.

Heartland Deluxe-

Good writing plus hand-drawn illustrations equals a great (but short) adventure game.

No-Action Jackson-

No-Action Jackson instantly recalls the classic LucasArts adventure Day of the Tentacle, and it's hero is someone we can actually relate to: a meek kid who still dreams of reliving his days as a feared dungeon master.

This was under Action Trip- Side-Scrollers and Blast-Em-Ups:

A Game with a Kitty: Darkside Adventures-

He's short, hairy, and loves bashing bad guys in 2D. Sorry, Mario- in a game inspired by classic side-scrolling advetures, this kitty shoots stars and kicks koala butt.

This was under Brain Benders- Guaranteed to mess with your synapses:

What Linus Bruckman Sees When His Eyes Are Closed-

Can the name of this game be any longer? This crazy-good adventure game is just plain crazy. The top half of the screen follows a samurai in feudal Japan; a spacey comedy graphic adventure unfolds in the bottom. Your brain will hurt, so factor in the cost of aspirin.

This was under Tributes and Remakes- Old classics handled with care:

Maniac Mansion Deluxe-

Remember the salad days of PC gaming, when there were graphic adventures as far as the eye could see, and LucasArts actually did something besides churn out Star Wars stuff? A group of devoted fans remembers, too, and has remade one of the greatest (and funniest) games ever.

King's Quest III-

The latest Sierra fan tribute: A 256-color remake of Roberta Williams' King's Quest III: To Heir Is Human. The story centers on a medieval slave named Gwydion who frantically seeks to escape the evil wizard who lords over him. This new version implements a point-and-click interface identical to Sierra's later graphic adventures, as well as full voice acting and some quirky new bits of humor. And if you missed em' check out the KQI and KQII remakes at www.agsinteractive.com.

Congrats! 

Lookin good CJ! Hope that RSI doesn't hinder you too much. Can't wait to try it out.

Sounds good! Is this used for an opening sequence or story sequence? I agree with Steel about adding extra instruments.

Whats more important here is the speed of the walk cycle. I think it should be slowed down a bit. The legs look weird when its fast but that could just be me.

Why should anyone be banned from the AGS IRC? You obviously don't use the same policy as the forums, but I don't get why anyone would be banned from the IRC. I guess everyone has their reasons.

Try some shading:



2X:



Really quick edit.

- Added some minor shading.
- Made the front view look more like a front view.

I think he looks weird without a face though.

How about a hopping walkcycle? You could add detail like having each ball of snow that makes up the snowman come apart in the air and plop back together when he lands.

As for the current walkcycle, I think it's a little too fast, and using common sense, I would say that if a real snowman moved like that, it would fall apart.

But I am not sure what to say about it. It is a difficult sprite to animate. I would just make a hopping walk cycle,  but that could be too slow. Sorry im not helping, but im not sure what to tell you.

Or you could buy photoshop. 

I hear Michael Richards is good, with his anti-heckling and such, you're sure to be entertained for quite a while.

definately uncalled for yoda.

All I can think of is Jake or Dan. Sorry for not being helpful. 

I like it! It looks like an old PC game I used to play. I think its fine the way it is.

WOW! Awesome game! And it was free too! hahahahahha

Can I see a screenshot anyway? I want to see what it looks like first.

Rushed.

OpenDNS is a free internet service. More info on the website.

Seriously, this thing rocks! Domain Name Servers translate site names into IP addresses. You also get the biggest cache. It's faster than my Cable/DSL modem, and there's no software that needs to be installed.

Has anybody seen this?

Lucky. 

Call of Duty 2 (can't run 3 on this comp  )
Webcam (not for homemade pr0n  )
Wii ( )
Laser mouse (needed one for BG's, ball wasn't cutting it)
2 DVDs - Miami Vice and the Original Batman ( )
Blank CD's
Signature Miami Dolphins watch (nice!)

Basically stuff I wanted, however random it appears, but im having a good time. 

Its okay CosmoQueen, theres a save function. 

Just waiting for some help right now in the tech forums so I can get going again. Hopefully I can get some help tonight so that I can get it over with (not the game, just a part of the game.)
