After you've read the rules and can post 2 screenshots, let me or Darth know and we'll unlock this...



*Snake makes the Mod Supremacy gesture

I also want to point out, Peder, that I didn't mean what I said to sound so awful! I just visited this again and realized how it may have sounded to you.

So what I meant by "scary looking mother fucker" is that you look like you could kick some serious ass

Good luck with the beard, btw, I've been trying to grow one since puberty

...maybe the characters are censored "Austin Powers style".  (You know what I mean, right?)

All the boobies come equipped with machine guns? If no, then I don't have a clue.

As Oddysseus said, in all seriousness, don't worry about this until your game is finished. Do what you want to do and then get some beta testers and see what they have to add. You may find your "nudity" is just fine, or maybe they think there's too much of it where it doesn't blend with the game itself. You never know. Just finish your damn game and find out

Trying to grow a beard:

Christ, I wouldn't want to be in your way if you were pissed... you're one scary looking mother fucker.

I must say, I LOVE Secret Fawful's screenie. Looks beautiful and the gameplay sounds very intriguing...

These Oceanspirit tales must be told.

Must they? Must they really?! :'(

Yes.

Episode 5 came out yesterday! Downloaded and played through the instant it was up!

What did everyone else think of it? I was very pleased!

Great series all together. In the aspect of puzzles and exploration I thought it was lacking, but the story itself was incredible. There are of course gripes I have, but I will leave them until later

SEX

I'm not a fan of 8-tracks, but vinyl is certainly a must

Also, Ponch, I keep reading "PE3nch" as "Peanch", heh.

Put a freakin big blue cup in the middle of it and grass around it.

Yes, plant a blue cup and you'll have games popping up everywhere!

FUCKING YES!!

Been waiting far too long for this! Keep this updated PLEASE!

Yes, I agree with Ryan. The cross meeting up with the water doesn't look right. Either make it "jut" up further into the water or raise the grass a little bit.

This isn't the critic's lounge, but, could we see a PNG version of this pic? It seems to be filled with artifacts I would love to see the original

Like I said in my last post, BEAUTIFUL work. I LOVE the atmosphere!

PS
My opinion to you thinking there needs to be another light source: BAH! It is perfect the way it is! Don't touch it!

Boy... that scene in the screenshot you've shown looks an awful like:


Hmm

I'm loving this so far, WHAM! The backgrounds hooked me first, but then I read what the game was about. Really really nice, man. I can't wait for this one.

I also love what you are doing with the GUI, making it go darker when in the dark and brighter when in light. This must add a ton to the atmosphere. I love it and can NOT wait <-- as said above

Something like that wouldn't hurt.

It's like when newspapers have "50 years ago to this day." And I like that

I only skimmed this thread, but personally, I really love this idea, m0ds. Even if it wasn't just pointed to an AGS game, but AGS history as well. On this day in 2001, blah blah...

I love that. It wouldn't be a wasted feature that's for sure. I'd bet my AGS life on it.

Fuck me that's beautiful, CHICKE3 VII!  :o

Don't fuck me, but that's beautiful, Chicky!!  :o :o

Just fuck me.

PS
VERY BEAUTIFUL picture there, Chicky! Filled with atmosphere... the kind I love the most.

Firstly i should point out that when i say 'adult cartoons' i mean 'cartoons intended for adults', not porn.

I love your marketing strategy though. No doubt people are going to enter a thread with the subject line, "Adult cartoons", so kudos to you, Calin.

I actually thought it was going to be a discussion about adult cartoons (of the porn variety), myself, which automatically sparked some curiosity. Would be interesting to read everyone's take on cartoons having "TEH SEX"

Actually Ben, I did think of that because when playing with real paper and pencil, you can see where you went last time and kind of judge where to go next based on it...

I'm glad you like it!

I spent almost 2 hours getting this ready and all you have to say is that my original "E3" idea made you laugh???

m0dsie make snakie cry :'(

[Snake Pit's Paper War]

Wow, there's a lot of awesome stuff here!

I figured I'd release something too. It is called, Snake Pit's Paper War.

It is a game I was working on early last year, but it soon fizzled out and I have forgotten about it. Maybe one day I will complete it. As is, it IS PLAYABLE, but for only one player and there are still a few things needing ironed out
(For example, if your bullet(s) hit two guys at once, it'll only kill one)

Snake Pit's Paper War is my version of the old paper and pencil (or pen) game with various names (Paper War, War, etc...) made in AGS.
You take a piece of paper, whether it be lined or not (I always preferred non-lined paper because you weren't able to count the lines and get a direct hit every time), fold it and draw a line along the crease. After folding the paper, the two players would draw their "guys" on their side, 10 usually.
What you do is, on your turn, you line up your shot, draw a little round bullet, fold the paper over and draw another bullet over the one you drew on the other side. This would transfer the pencil or pen on to your opponent's field. Fold the paper back over and see if you hit your target. Who ever has the last man standing wins! It's VERY fun!

When I was first introduced to this type of game I was in 2nd grade and at the time it was "boats". The kid who showed me drew a bunch of these ships that very much resembled the Tie Fighter's in Star Wars (heh)... and that was it.

So I "amped it up" a bit with different guys (stick men) that you could draw and called it my own. These guys had different guns which of course was another new feature. Instead of drawing a DOT every turn, you could draw whatever that gun's bullets looked like (if you still had at least one of those guys left) which simply consisted of their own unique shape. Each gun had their own advantage. For example:
The Shotgun Gun Guy's bullets would be a cluster of 6 or 7 small dots. This would be much better than using the Regular Gun Guy which was just one dot... and you had to be a damn good shot. The only advantage to the regular Gun Guy are that nobody shoots them first!

Screenies:







Here I present to you, the unfinished playable work in progress from yesteryear:
Snake Pit's Paper War

The shots you will make are based on symmetry. You aim your shot on your field, and when shot, the result appears on the opponents field.
(The closer you are to the line, the closer it is to the line on the other side)

On the playing field, after selecting your guy, while holding the right mouse button you can either enter the menu or see how much life your tank or your enemy tank has left (starts with 20) by hovering your mouse over it. The other guys are a one hit kill.
While holding right mouse, click left mouse on the "Menu" icon that appears to enter the menu.

The Guys
Gun Guy: One dot
Shotgun Guy: A cluster of 7 (if I remember right) dots
Machine Gun Guy: A vertical line of 5 dots
Grenade Guy: An X shape
Tank: A bigger round dot

In one player mode you have no choice over who you have for guys. In the game, this option is called, "Quick Game", hence the simplicity. I had plans to give the players a choice to choose their guys and background image and style of paper (difficulty --> Easy = Lined Paper and Normal = Plain Paper) within 2 player mode, which was the main target. I had also talked to Dualnames about implementing an online mode.

The CPU AI is non-existent. It is completely random unless you have a tank, then every other turn the enemy will target your tank. It is random whether or not you or the CPU have a tank. I have no scripting skills Like I said above, the main target for this game is for 2 players and online play.

Also, Hammerblade, the guy who did the soundtrack for Castle of Fire, was also doing the music for this game. I had planned on having an in-game music select so you weren't stuck with the same music over and over.

Sorry for the horrible imbalance in the sound levels of the SFX and Music...

I never said that Noa's voice was *bad* nor did I say that she shouldnt be in the band.

All I said was that the songs chosen don't use her voice type particularly effectively.

You wouldn't get Pavarotti to sing a grindcore track... although that might actually be awesome.

Calin, I think you may have misunderstood Dan. Unless I missed it while going back through the posts, nobody has accused you of saying her voice was bad or she shouldn't be in the band... as far as I can tell, you didn't... so I don't understand why you would say that.

I understood Dan's reply to your comment as only defending his opinion of her voice with the songs we chose. He thinks they were perfectly fine for her voice and you think they don't work well for her type of voice. I found nothing wrong with your opinion. Nobody was upset with you. Hopefully Dan can back me up on this.

I'm sorry for being long winded, Calin (as I always am), but I just took your post as being offended by something that I didn't see happen. If I am misinterpreting the entire thing, please tell me

Hell, I'm still awaiting someone to tell me if my solo (first solo in Comfortably Numb) was up to par or if it could have been done differently/better. I can take it, I'm a big boy

Everybody is entitled to write what they think of the music... unless they're a little arrogant cunt who writes, "YOU GUYZ SUCKZ0RZ!!1!!"
