[Hyde and Seek]

Hyde and Seek

Now released... Download Hyde and Seek

Story-line:

James Hyde is confined to his room and not allowed to venture outside, except to go to school. His parents disowned him from birth because he is 'different'. But that is about to change.

After reading an old chemistry book on 'Chemicals and the body' James sets about seeking out everyday ingredients in the hope that they will 'CHANGE' him into someone who his parents will accept into their 'family'.

Finding and then choosing the right combination of food stuff is not so easy and at times outrageous or nothing appears to happen, but perseverance is James' key to a successful CHANGE. Remember: quantity is not always best...

The moral of this story is that it only takes a change for things to be so different.

* This game is one room.
* No Save or Load.
* Single cursor for Interact/Use Inventory only.
* Many dramatic effects.

Have you got the perseverance needed to CHANGE successfully?

When I start my next game I won't alter any volumes and do one room and if it reacts the same I will send it to you Crimson.

cheers

Mandle has put a lot of effort into this game and as it's a MAG game it was done quite quickly (tell me about that!)  so it's not quite as polished or complete as Mandle would have liked it to have been. None-the-less, the potential is there to build a full game given time.

I wanted to click on the 'live' people

Enjoyable game open to further tweaks and improvements.

Well done Mandle for another technique driven game

Game finished and now testing....

Which functions do you use to play sounds and volume in game? Also, do you use any non-default template, or any script modules made by other people that can adjust volume? Any plugins?

i use default template. load music in after fade in....aDistresssedmp3.Play();

phylactere233 and Tween modules. no plugin's...

as i said earlier.. i somehow got around it by luck...

The funny thing is is that my mouse wheel does not work....

Hi

I'm not sure how it happens but sometimes the room script font enlarges..

3.4.11

Nice looking trailer, slasher. One slight issue for me though is that I find it a bit jarring reading the text of what the guy is saying while the singer is singing different words over the top. Is that the ingame music for this scene? Maybe it's just me but I feel an instrumental version might work better.

The music has indeed been changed to something else (instrumental)... What is in the video was a placeholder as it were.

The game is a bit tricky doing in places, but i will persevere....Meanwhile its going to plan, well almost

I'm really curious of what outcomes there could be.

Well, that would depend on what you put into your body and its/their effects

Do you mean that music reduces and then gets to full volume back again, or that it becomes lower and lower each time?

Lower each time and level not returning.

what is the type of sound files you are using?

Tried both Both .ogg and .mp3 files.

What is chosen in the Digital Sound setting of winsetup?

Default DirectSound Device.

Also there is no speech(&) in the game.

It was only by playing around with ALL the volumes and adding the Music as Ambient Repeat that I managed to make it reasonable..

But still, it's a pain in the butt...

Its happening yet again,

ags 3.4.11

new game and whenever a sound effect plays the music volume reduces each time...

This has to be an unresolved bug...

Hyde and Seek is coming along nicely.

Most of the mechanics and sprites have be done though there is still quite a lot of work to be done so that should keep me busy for a week or so..

Meanwhile here is a video of the opening scene:

Here's my in-production Teaser for 'Hyde and Seek'

Hi Mandle,

Spoiler

Sometimes i would need to punch like 30 times or so which i felt was far too many times..

[close]

Can you believe this? 
I was just getting into a drive to make this game somewhat presentable as a tech-demo, and then I start getting this crash again that I thought was no longer an issue.
Crap.
3.4 after importing sprites I go to save and get an error message.

You'd better tells us what the crash problem message is so you can make it well again

In the Players Walk view, choose a frame(s) and add the footstep sound within the appropriate Frame's property box for each loop.

The footstep sound should be short and use only 1 step sound....

When the player walks the walk sound will play per Frame(s) with the walk sound and stop when the player stops.
