THE POINTLESS WAR

The topic for this contest is "The Pointless War" (just as it is pointless for me to be writing this first sentence).

THE RULES: Follow the script.. and uh, yeah. You will also have a higher chance of winning if you do any of the following:Ã, 

1. Add some extra funny narration. Example: In the previous competition, the narration said (I think), "Bubba gets up from his chair" and Akumayo added "(that's a pretty hard task)". Things like that are allowed.

2. If you are able to do hilarious accents. Pretty self-explanatory.Ã, 

Here we go:Ã, 

Our cast of characters is this:

Hung Fu LouiÃ, 
Harpinder G. Potty
Fricko Magricko
The King

You start after here:

NARRATOR

One day, the king of England got mad so he declared war on Canada.

(the scene quickly fades out to the king)

KING

I'm mad!! I'm going to start attacking Canada! General, prepare the troops!!

NARRATOR

And so the king of England declared war on Canada. Doh! I already said that. Anyways...

(the scene fades to canada)

NARRATOR

A group of teenagers are standing around in a very miniscule Canadian town.

TEEN 1 (Fricko Magricko)

Hey, bros, you know, like what?

TEEN 2 (Hung Fu Loui)

What?

FRICKO

I like do believe that there are like soldiers coming towards us!

HARPINDER

I see them, I see them!Ã, 

LOUI

Great observation. Now you get one hundred dollars.

HARPINDER

Really?!!

LOUI

NO!!!!Ã, 

FRICKO

Alright, my hombres, let's like go to our garage and like get some sweet weapons.

NARRATOR

About one hour later, they finally get the weapons and return.

FRICKO

HARPINDER

Oh, how nice! They came all this way! We don't have to walk a long distance.

LOUI

Yeah, and now we have to fight faster.

FRICKO

Don't worry, homedudes! I saw like an excellent movie where they had to fight in it and they were really little and-

LOUI

They have guns!

FRICKO

Now, what was that movie called....

(Fricko randomly guesses names of a movie, you can improvise for this)

LOUI

Enough of this, moron! They are about ten feet away from us!

FRICKO

Oh no!Ã, 

NARRATOR

They draw their wooden sticks and start pounding the soldiers. Harpinder just stands there, commenting on the fighting.

HARPINDER

Quality, quality kill! Oh, that's going to hurt in the morning!

NARRATOR

Loui and Fricko fight valiantly against the brutally stupid soldiers, but it is of no avail. The soldiers knock Fricko and Loui unconscious. Harpinder runs home.Ã, 

RANDOM SOLDIER

Oh great, who do we kill now?

RANDOM SOLDIER #2

I don't know. Let's go home.

NARRATOR

Here ends our story. The valiant Fricko, Loui, and Harpinder were awarded the Nobel Prize. And now, kiddies, the moral is: Don't act irrationally!!Ã, 

RANDOM KID

What does "irrafionioni" mean?Ã, 

NARRATOR

Er... nothing. The end!

Here is my first good (in my opinion) background. Created using the GIMP and MSPaint. EDIT: Here's the final version.

I need some c&c for this very low-res sprite. I got the inspiration from the character "Low" from The Dig. I particularly need help with the shading on the foot.

When i try to preview the animation, nothing comes up. If I keep clicking on "Preview" but after many clicks it says "there is already an animation preview". How do I solve this?

Here's an example of a room: there's a radio in it. You interact with it to change the background music. How could I use it to change the bg music more than once (eg: interact with radio, interact with it again, interact again, and change back to the original bg music)? Thanks, sorry if it's a little complicated, it was hard to explain 

Here it is- the remake of the most controversial (and I use the term loosely) game in AGS history. Yep, you guessed it- David Smith: Private Investigator!!!! (and no, the game's title doesn't include the exclamation marks)Ã,  ::)Ã,  Anyways, this is a totally redone, totally new adventure. No, it's not a sequel, it's just a better version of the original game (which, in case you were wondering, is 2010: World of Chaos). The game features:
A completely (pretty much) redone storyline!
190%+ better characters!Ã, 
A whole cast of voice actors!
And much, much, more..

Here are some screenshots:


This first one is just a background (by gameboy)..

The game features characters by lo_res_man and yodaman11111, backgrounds by Saberteeth, gameboy, and yodaman11111 and here's the voice cast:
FEATURING Rob "Raggit" Scott as David Smith with "Obi" as Man on Plane, Freddy Bonetti, and The Guard and Strange Visitor as AL-Fahar Shamra.
(there are others, but we don't want to spoil it.)

Here's the stats:

Storyline: 95%Ã, 
Characters: 60%
Animation: 10%
Music: 100%
Voices: 40%

We are currently hiring voice actors. If you'e interested, PM me.

PRODUCTION NOTES/INFO

Finished a good portion of the game. Going smoothly, with one new background (by saber and gameboy) being made each week. Characters are going great too. Thank you, lo_res_man! Voices are painstaking work, because we have to take a line, convert it to WAV format, and then find the right place in the game to put it in. For music, we are using 1-2 themes from the old game, and are using free midis off the internet. Keep checking back for the latest news on the game!Ã, 
NEW: Here's some speech from the game, and a piece of music from it also. http://s2.gimehost.com/v/5313403/Line_preview.zipÃ,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, NOTE: The rough voice is a police chief and the regular voice is David Smith. The rest is from a German thug.

Check in a reply for the screenshots.

Just wondering if anyone on here was from Canada.. or more specific British Columbia, or even more specific than that.. Abbotsford.. just curious. I normally would've used the AGS world map but it won't work for my computer or something.

Hi, I don't know if this the right place to post this, but here goes: just a question: Are there any free music programs which have many different instruments for midi? I looked around the internet, but I could only find trial versions.

How do I get more than four background animation frames?

Well, actually, 2 qeustions. 1. Do you need to register your game to be in the AGS awards? 2. Can anyone vote on the award winners? 

I'm at the airport. I passed the gate and am at the place with the nazi commander. He kills you if you go to him. What do I do?

I am (almost) done making a fantasy game called "The Forest". I am soon going to begin with the sequel but I was wondering what type of art I should use with the sequel/deluxe version of the game? I had a FOA or DOTT style in mind, but what do you think?

How do I make an interface like Beneath a Steel Sky (eg: mouse changes to a cross when you move over a hotspot, inventory appears at bottom or top of screen when you move the mouse over it)

How do I change a character's talking view?

Can someone show me how to (or give me a tutorial on how to) do good walkcycles? I am ok at the "down" walkcycle, but not with the rest. 
sorry if I posted this in the wrong thing 

These are some backgrounds for two separate games I am making: the first, a background from the sequel to 2010: World of Chaos, and the second, a baclground from a dark, humourous, cartoony game (which I can't tell the name of, since I don't want to spoil anything just yet..). I'm just getting the hang of background and need some c&c.. (btw, the second one is a bit unfinished)

 

ANNOUNCER VOICE: You begged, you pleaded, you acted like a monkey, and now it's finally here! 2010: World of Chaos. Presented by Kingdom Game Co. and Jonathan Tobin, this thrilling adventure features action! Suspense! Humor! and an ending that leaves 100% possibilities for a sequel! So come on, play it(Now we're the ones begging you)!
Talkie version to be released soon ( withvoices by Rob Scott, David Naylor, Rocky Naylor, and with Jonathan Tobin as Al-Fahar Shamra)

Thank you VinceXII for hosting this!

Here are some new looks for characters for the sequel to the game 2010: World of Chaos, 2010: World of Destruction (working title). The leader of the terrorists, Al Fahar Shamra has gone through an uncanny Darth Vader-like transformation and 75% of his body is robotic (he was in an explosion- see the extended ending to 2010: World of Chaos). Later, I'll post a new look for the sidekick robot, Tyson. 

I made a game and am going to put speech in. My question is: how do you get speech files to play on room messages?

I posted on the ACR thread asking for people to be voice actors in a game I made. I ask it here again, where it may be viewed more: DOES ANYONE WANT TO DO VOICES FOR A GAME?!! Hello people, this is fun stuff to do.
