It is neat how you are using the character's shapes and stuff to do puzzles, but IMO, the graphics just don't suit the storyline of the game.

Looks nice! Although the art style of The Apprentice would be a better style in my opinion.. anyways, when do you expect this game to be released? Do you have a team of people working on this, or just yourself?

The buying a ship/credit puzzle in Monkey Island 1. It was the hardest and most incoherent puzzle, but it was also the best puzzle.

Here are the new screen shots:

Ã, 

What are you talking about?? If you want to make a scrolling background, you need to make it wider. Anyways, I probably won't work on this game anymore since I have mostly gotten negative feedback.

I have been looking for the "Mordy" game by Mordalles, but I can't find them in the database, and Mordalles' list of games he has made doesn't have them on it! I also looked on the "server with all the ags games on it", which is this: http://aafiles.bicycle-for-slugs.org/full/ but I couldn't find them. Can someone help?

It's not supposed to be humorous.

cool! I was going to post asking that same question, but I never got around to doing it. I didn't even think you could do that in ags...

Isn't everybody?

I meant that I thought those people were going to die today 

Yes. However, some of them are higher res than that (if I need camera movement or whatever). What do you think of the graphics?

It's not day or night in this setting. The game takes place in a surreal world. Hope I cleared some things out. 

Maybe those mail messages mean that you're going to die... 

I've decided to take a bit of a break from working on David Smith: Private Investigator (but I still am working on it now and then), and to start working on:

THE CRATER 

The game's storyline:

You play as John Tobias, an archaeological expert, christian, and now astronaut. You have been sent, along with two other men, to investigate an asteroid which has had reports of life on it. Little do you, or any of your crew know, that there is far more in store than mere life...   

Here are some screenshots:

I am doing this game all by myself so it could take quite some time to make. I hope to get more screenshots up soon.

what's the big deal about this 666 stuff? I mean, according to the bible, the rapture happens first and then the antichrist comes. I got a number email from some idiot saying "If you are a christian and you believe in god, forward this to 800 people or we will all die on 6/6/06!!" 

Go figure.. 

Here's a (very) rough five minute paintover:



* made the image taller so the tops of the cylinders aren't visible at the start of the pan
* added something cliched to pan down from
* added some texture to the crater floor
* added crater walls
* changed the shadows cast by the cylinders to match their lighting 

Thanks. Not really the style I had in mind, but I'll add some of those details.

Hmm.. the beginning of the new version is too much like the actual song itself. Maybe add a different bass tune at the beginning or something. Also, I think it was a bit better with the horn. Maybe not the same horn you were using, just a different one or something.EDIT: No, it sounded better in the first version how it had the horn. Gave it more harmony. Maybe add a steel drum in the second version.

Okay, the game that it's for takes place on a crater. The cylinder thingies are holes leading into pits. It is night time and there is a weird sky because the crater has its own atmosphere kinda thing. The camera does pan down from the sky. The monochromaticity is to just add an unearthly quality to this world.

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!

Ok, I'll get to work on a topic and all that.

I don't think your pathetic and poorly written, rambling pleas are going to get anyone else to join.  Last competition there were only two entries as well.
