Cassiebsg....Thanks for your comments...

Time restrictions usually mean you miss stuff out... I agree, I should have made more interactions for the Inventory descriptions etc.
2 click operations... possibly...but it is what it is...

cheers

That would stop Mandle in his tracks

I don't think that was what Mandle's wicked soh was ranting on about 

People who plead poverty and say they struggle to get by and yet have numerous cats and dogs...

Come on guys,

show us your wares

My game: Fixed some missed text...

Hi Mandle

Spoiler

Bucket done. Do you mean maybe 2 bars on the mop?

tried 1, 2, 3 bars on mop head but only says about mop upside down or something. I've used it all over floor...

EDIT  Ok.. now started maze...

Hi

Spoiler

The ransom letter must have arrived (which happens directly after the room is cleaned)..

How do you clean room.. no reactions from mop... letter does not appear.

Commando Raid by fernewelten

Spoiler

I played much of the first version and it was going quite nicely. There were a few areas of concern, like baselines, inventory spacing and clickable boss. The graphics were nice and so were the dialogs. However, I downloaded later version and the door you came in from would not close and therefore you could not access the tap or the bag. Also some variables did not set properly giving wrong answers to what should have been true. This is reference to the bag and mop head. This was a game breaker for me. Still baseline error between player an cupboard door. With corrections this would be quite a good game. Hopefully the author will correct these. New build better.

OK.. Have managed to enter the maze. This area at the moment has a few flaws which stunts an otherwise great area. Will persevere.

Rat Playing Game by Mandle

Spoiler

This has the makings of a fun game, given enough time to play about with and learn the variables. The graphics were coarse but kind of fitted the game and i found them acceptable (Mandle style ). Combat again needs time to figure out. The variable buttons could have been tarted up and a change of fonts would not go amiss. Overall a nice little game that i would play over and over a few times to get to know it better.

I can understand releasing this as a kind of demo, a taster. I can also see Mandle had put in a lot of effort into it, but of course time is a funny thing.: it runs out to quickly.

A good effort from an old veteran who likes to push the barrier in style and taste

Overall I quite enjoyed it.

I now see an updated version so i will play it and amend my review accordainly...

Will play new build tomorrow.

Played latest version. It was better. I kind of feel it growing on me... game breaker if you stop on first left bend. Apart from that I would personally would like the fonts to stand out more during combat, I can't see very well as it is. Having got used to the variables I can see me playing this repeatedly. It is a fun game and a few tweaks would make it even more playable and more fun. Great effort and a good game.

The Rat Pack by CaptainD

Spoiler

A game about playing with variables to obtain a successful outcome of a family of rats. This game has a single screen and is quite self explanatory. Getting a good balance and moving on was good fun. However, the mouse disappearing was game breaking and quite annoying and MUST be sorted as I would have liked to have gotten further than I had.. Effort went into coding the variables.
All in all a fun game that I could play more of given a fix of the mouse vanishing. I found it quite enjoyable and could spend quite some time playing around with it. Good effort for a nice game.

Echo in the Clouds by Hobo, Selmiak, Myshkin and Pinback

Spoiler

So far...Game looks interesting.. Nice graphics and animations. Story line good... Atmosphere good.. Only downside I can see at the moment is the save/load system which did not appeal to me in its use...  I have now finished the game and the combination of authors have produced a really good demo game...

Rainbow Skunk Prism and the Vermin-Truder by DBoyWheeler

Spoiler

A nice colorful game. Basic and simple. Not ground breaking but effective. Shame about the walk animations which I'm sure will improve in future games by this author.  Some fun and very basic.

The Burgomaster by morganw, Blondbraid and handsfree

Spoiler

Enjoyable game. Great graphics from Blondbraid as expected. Story taken from a truth.. Nicely produced. Puzzles not to hard.  Fun game.

Lab Rat Maze! by Cassiebsg and Gurok

Spoiler

Nice animation start to the game. Like the way the game paths opens up as you progress, nice scripting by Gurok. More to come...

[close]

You could use something like this

Code: ags

function Button1_OnClick(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button)
{
if (TextBox1.Text != "") // 
 
 {
 player.Name = TextBox1.Text;   //name you typed in for the player
 gNomeProt.Visible=false;
 player.Say("Hello. My name is %s.",player.Name); // %s returns a string and player.Name is the string which is the name you typed in.
 player.ChangeRoom(1, 1000, 570, eDirectionLeft);
}
}

All you need to do is add the %s and player.Name to labels/speech to display the name of the character typed in.

Game has now been tested and uploaded.

"Bill Rutherford is an ordinary eight-to-five type guy. He works in a local bank doing a job that he finds rather stuffy. He is single and hopes that one day he will meet the girl of his dreams. He does not know it yet, but he is about to step into something mysterious that will change his life...forever."

He goes to the Silver Caf'e for coffee when he bumps into Carol and it is instant attraction.

The idea of the game is to get to know Carol in as few days as possible. You do this by guessing her favorite things such as drink, food, song etc etc.

You need to get all subject options correct to go to the next scene..... failure of any subject dialog option will make you relive the day again.

Will Bill get the girl and most importantly, how many days does he need to relive before he does?

Fantasy/Romance.

Game is based on Dialog Option choices.

You cannot Save (short game) and the only cursor is the Pointer.

Last year i purchased all the Games of thrones' series.

I thought i would start re-watching them before the next series...behold...most have reverted to 'buy'..BT trying to sort it out...what a calamity!

The next time it happens i will check task manager.

cheers

Even though it seemed ok and I changed Game Explorer back to false i'm still getting access to .exe file denied (say 80% of the time).

99.9% complete? Wow.
I didn't even have a real idea until almost bedtime last night.
I'm not even completely sure what mine is going to be other than having 1-3 characters lost somewhere with snow and ice.

Having decided to make a less time consuming game I opted for something shorter to create.. though I am playing the percentages.... the chances of getting the full solutions correct on the first go is very very slight...it may take many more goes and that expands the time.

So a game that could be completed in two minutes will probably take 10/15 minutes or even longer...

This is a fantasy / romance game.

Maybe you should go for something similar?

Hi Crimson,

I changed Game explorer to true (not quite sure how it went false)...then did a full rebuild (should have done that earlier)...

No errors so far.. fingers crossed.

Task manager by the way did not show any other programs open...

cheers

Hi Crimson

The error does not happen all the time but I need to restart computer. But the error eventually arises again.

My virus prog has not changed.

Game Explorer option was set at false.

No folders are open.

ags was the only Program open.

Oh, and it's ags Build 3.4.0.14

cheers

Slasher

Apart from needing a solution it would be nice to know WHY this error happens...



cheers

Cheers Durq

I'll be in touch.
