True, but its mostly Americans that are so hung up on nudity.

Well, yeah. To appease those, you could add an option that creates black bars over the naughty bits, so that concerned people can turn that on.

Viz. the Spellcasting text adventures, where you would actually visit a nude love goddess in her bedroom to do crossword puzzles, unless you turned the "naughty" option on.

In all honesty, find different hosting...

Well, yes, but enchant appears to still own the domain name.

They even have the option to redirect it to another domain (i.e. http://crystalshard.net) since we already have hosting, and this costs like fifty cents per year and I'd register it in an instant, except that EH is not responding. At all. Grumble.

*bump*

Does anyone else have a suggestion? Brassfire is apparently not responding to e-mails, PMs or anything else I can think of. Does anyone know her or speak to her via MSN or something?

Just adding nudity to a game in order to increase the amount downloads is a very cheap shot and superficial game design - it's on the level with adding pixel hunts to artificially increase play time - and like most cheap shots, it works.

Read this article for a good example.

Also, Dutch movie producers generally add a nude scene or sex scene in the middle of the film that has no relevance to the plot. Once you get past the level of "he heh, boobies", you realize what a lousy film it actually was to need this kind of trick.

No, you don't need further scripting.

Try running DXDIAG.

No. At least, not noticeably so.

What will slow down your game is having an excessive amount of objects/characters/overlays/GUIs on-screen at the same time, especially if they're big and partially translucent. Or doing too much with the RawDraw commands.

Make a GUI, put a label on that GUI, and have the text include the word @OVERHOTSPOT@

Hi, we're Crystal Shard. You may remember us from such games as A Tale of Two Kingdoms, META, and Warthogs.

Anyway, we're looking for a musician / composer to write the background music for a short fantasy game. One tune, approx 3 minutes. Please PM me for details if interested.

I just noticed something weird:

if you run an AGS game, and move its window through external means (that is, not by dragging the title bar, but e.g. by using the "Tile Horizontally" button from your task bar) the mouse cursor screws up (the AGS cursor appears in a different position than the windows cursor). It's kind of hard to explain but try it some time

Here's my date:

Pixels are cool!!!

Pixels are evil!!

I'd use a black GUI. RawDrawing always happens beneath characters and objects.

Precisely.

Code: ags

function box_out () {
  gBox.Enabled = true;
  int i = 0;
  while (i < 100) {
    int j = (160 * i) / 100;
    gBox.SetPosition (160 - j, 100 - i);
    gBox.SetSize (2*j, 2*i);
    Wait (1);
    i++;
  }
}

Is hot chocolate powder thingy and chocolate milk powder thingy the same thing? They both carry the golden taste of chocolate and they both have the same powdery form.

Depends on the brand.

There's the kind you mix with milk, the kind you mix with water, and the kind you mix with water but includes powdered milk.

There's the kind with a lot of cocoa, and the kind with less.

What does "bring a weird date" mean? I just don't understand what "date" refers to in that sentence.

If it's for a student or other low-income group - CRT screens are really cheap these days.

Radiant FontEdit.

As I recall, DisplayTopBar() isn't actually blocking.

Ah, but that would be telling!

Try Sherlocking, and see what you come up with.

Thanks, I'll go talk to her then.
