Looking great!

Looking forward to hearing how it'll sound, too! Gemini Rue had a great soundtrack.

Very peculiar art-style, especially the way you made the characters.
Looking forwardto play it.

I take it that by peculiar you mean "distinctive and characteristic" rather than " bizarre and weird"

It'd work either way.

Happy Belated to Wyz and Sslaxx!

Thank you.

Nice style there! Looks like this is going to be an interesting one to play through.

Happy BD to Sslaxx & Wyz

Hope you guys had a good b-day!

Thanks, Ponch, I did!

Happy one to Slaxx as well

Indeed it was, thanks!

Happy BD to Sslaxx & Wyz

Thanks! Having a good day here.

Dunno if it'd be what you want, but http://enigma-dev.org/ is an alternative for GM:S.

Gotta be careful doing that, because I noticed you substituted one problem - being quiet - for another - clipping.

This is what I'm talking about (notice the gap at about 0.43 seconds in). This also occurs in (usually) the first few seconds of most of the other tracks too.

Is it just me, or are there problems with some of the soundtrack files on the GOG release (gaps in some of the songs)?

Do one of what? GDC wrap-ups? Listen to Episode 40

Do a podcast with BT.

Hey! Awesome Podcast! I had a blast meeting you, and yeah - heh - it was a fun way to meet.  And playing "Backdoor Man" with you and Edmundo was seriously a highlight of the whole shindig.  I am really stoked for A Golden Wake, and I can't wait to throw thousands of bitcoins your way for it! Heh.

You did a really great wrap up for GDC, and listening to it, I got filled in on the stuff I missed.  Anyway, I'm still recovering from my week, but I can definitely say it was great to meet and share AGS war-stories with you.

You need to do one of these, if you haven't already.

Let's see if this runs under Linux...

AGS must look forward, not back. If 320x2x0 can be implemented without holding back AGS, then keep it. Otherwise, it should stay with the existing versions and be dropped going forwards. While yes, a "do it all" tool from VGA resolution up to (and beyond) 1080p would be nice, it shouldn't be at the cost of functionality.

Whatever, whoever, decides the future path of AGS isn't going to please everyone - and they definitely shouldn't try to.

For most people it just isn't a realistic concern. $6,000 (for Pro licenses for Unity+Windows 8 Store/Android/Blackberry/iOS) isn't exactly chump change, sure, but if you're one of the lucky ones to exceed $100k in earnings, it's not a particularly massive price to pay. And vanishingly few people ever get to that point.

To be clear, I'm talking about one-man band efforts here, not companies like Phoenix Online or Wadjet Eye. That, I am sure, is a whole different kettle of fish.

Dunno if it's exactly what you want, but maybe Dagon - http://www.senscape.net/dagon/ - could do some of it?

I've had big headaches in the past while working with scintilla (including some very ugly hacks while integrating the docking suite with it), so I'm all for it. Especially since the control you linked to looks very nice and feature complete.

Some points of concern:
- Do you know of any big project that uses this control successfully?
- Is the license good for us?
- Know that you will be entering a world of pain if you actually attempt this. It looks like a lot of work configuring and integrating it. You will also need to make a list of all the text editing features AGS currently has, and making sure they all still work.

License is Lesser GPL v3. This is GPL compatible, and should be Artistic License compatible too.

Dunno if anyone else has tried it, but the game doesn't seem to be working with the (as of typing) latest Git revision of the Linux runtime:
