Well...

Morrowind for one - can't wait for Oblivion. The Zork series. The classic Megadrive Sonic titles (oh, for more like them - Sonic Rush is a move in the right direction!).

2.7 is not yet formally released, which is why it is not on the website and why the Linux engine isn't released yet.

Ah, fair enough.

I've just downloaded v2.7 of AGS (why doesn't the front page have a link to it, or am I missing something here?). As I use Linux, I'm using WINE to run it. So far, so good, but I'll try and post any problems here.

[smiles]

That is looking good! smiles I'll have to check out that series of games, I think.

Beautiful game, Morrowind. Hope Oblivion will be just as good!

If you meen professional games I'd go with Broken Sword: The shadow of the templars (best storyline ever!) that's made by Realsoft entertainment(I think). Be shure to notice: NOT The second or third one.

Although it's not much of a humoristic game (probably not at all) I've never ever played a game that's trapped me better. I think I played it through at least Three times.

(sorry if I have a lousy English)

The Broken Sword games are made by Revolution.

but alas it is not! I am doing a version of Wishbringer.. see here

Wishbringer! Fun little game, that! And your version's looking good.

Love those pictures! This is looking good!

This I'm looking forward to.

Zork:Grand Inquisitor. Great graphics, great gameplay, great puzzles, great actors, great EVERYTHING! No one can top this classic.

Love to see a sequel to this, especially as it was supposed to be the beginning of a trilogy...

As in the ZorkQuest titles? Interesting...

Perhaps not what's meant, but anyway... http://www.superiorinteractive.com/ is a very small UK games company (but an old one - having been around since the 1980s), looking for people's games to publish.

What is Doctor Who?

You don't know?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/

I've never heard of the guy, so thats a good thing. Seeing as most Doctors are nobodies to begin with... in fact the only other thing I cen remember Peter Davison playing was that pig/cow-thing who wanted to be eaten in Hitchhikers Guide...

Never watched "28 Days Later", then? Or "The Second Coming" - which also boasts the involvement of the new series' producer?

A better question than "do they care?" might be "will they notice?"

RTD (the new series producer) is a fan, so I'd be surprised if he doesn't know of the existence of "Doctor Who" fanfic. Whether or not he'd get the BBC to do anything about it is another question. And Outpost Gallifrey has several BBC staffers on it. Spud, are you on OG? Asking there might be productive, too (try asking Justin Richards - I do believe he posts there, he is the BBC Books range editor).

That said, as the BBC is anything but the monolith it may seem, what may be a valid answer from one part of the organisation may not be from another...

Frankly, I'd love to see version 3.0 of this software stop producing EXEs or otherwise depending on platform-dependent files (DLLs? Ugh!), just producing a set of (or just one) platform-independent datafiles that would be played by an interpreter.

I'm guessing thats the one with the Daleks that had either the little hover platform they were on or the classic Sylvester McCoy episode where he ran up the stairs, thinking the dalek couldn't follow him and it ended up having a hover thingy installed on itself...

Yup, it's the Sylvester McCoy story. Apparently, they were going to have floating Daleks in Revelation too.

And make sure you don't do anything that spoils the mythos like making a character escape Daleks by climbing the stairs.

Ever watched "Remembrance of the Daleks"...?

i am trying to find out if i could make a doctor who game and if i need permision from the bbc.

The BBC has encouraged fanfics before (it held a competition about them), so you should be all right.

The rights to the show are a convuluted mess. The image of the Daleks, for example, belongs to the BBC, but the idea belongs to the Estate of Terry Nation. One is useless without the other, and this is resulting in problems for the production team of the new series. Amusingly enough, even Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart doesn't belong to the BBC!

I don't see the point in replying, but anyway... light grey on black. The problem with the font is the size my browser is rendering it at.

Horrible? Horrible? Do you not have the system font? Don't try looking for it under your list of fonts it won't appear there. type in system and it will work. what browser do you use? what windows do you have ? huh?

Sorry, got carried away

The font you're using on that site is working very badly with the colour scheme you have. My browser is Konqueror, under Linux. And trying to run your game (via WINE) doesn't work at the default graphics mode (though this isn't something you can do much about, though).
