has sucked me in. Can't wait to play the 4th installment!

Glad you liked it, good thing I've gotten back to work on planning out the rest of the series!

In the case of this game, my plan is to have the main character's surname as "Spitfire" too, and have to keep explaining to people that his plane is in fact a Hurricane.

Have a jolly Samhain!

If you don't advertise your game on Facebook you'll be fine...

Why, what's wrong with Facebook?

So, this year we've lost Kim, Gaddafi and bin Laden. Can we hope for a heart failure on Robert Mugabe's behalf to round off 2011?

Ah well. At least if Kim Jong Un messes it up, they can roll out Kim Jong Deux and Kim Jong Trois.

Ho ho ho.

Anyway, as a former resident of the Republic of Korea (that's the south one), I say "good riddance"!

So, I've no doubt it's just paranoid speculation on my part, but I was wondering about the use of real-life, branded products in fiction, specifically adventure games since that's kind of the focus of the AGS fora, isn't it?

I would imagine that it's a lot less of an issue in games that aren't commercial, since they can more reasonably count as "parody", but in my case the next game I'm planning is aimed at being sold, so I figured I should get it cleared up in order to quiet the paranoia in my brain. The story, as it stands, has a Hawker Hurricane as a central plot element.



Lovely, innit? The more rational part of my brain tells me that:
a) it's a cultural icon, as part of Britain's history
b) Hawker went defunct in the sixties, Hawker-Siddeley went out of business in 1992, and BAe probably has bigger things to care about

I also thought that if anyone has a concrete idea of what constitues "fair use", it'd probably be a useful thing to clarify for other creators on here!

I remember getting my mother the entire Monkey Island set (when that consisted of three games!) for Christmas, we spent most of the day playing through those.

At AdventureX, one of the presenters mentioned that Christmas is not a good time to release independent games, apparently! January is the new Christmas.

The main theme of yesterday's festivities was "violence against women". Also, prizes!

The Rail is finished, build is sent in, let's get this party started! (in two days)

Right, I've finally got my business cards all set for this! They'll include The Rail with them as well, so prod me for one while you're there!

So, I'm going to be like one out of three people on here to understand what's going on? Super!

Schade! It's a pity my German isn't quite up to professional standards, I jolly well need a job! I don't think I can quite make games to a saleable quality yet.

Everyone here seems to have sprang into game-making action immediately after hearing about the existence of AGS.

Am I the only one who knew about it for years and was just too lazy to make a game?  :'(

I made games, not saying they were good ones though. Didn't release any of them either!

There was an article in a PC magazine back in 2006, and I've had an inclination for making games for yeeeeeaaaars. AGS was just a bit more useful for my goals than "Klik 'n' Play" was, though.

I've got everything from 7 to a confused hybrid of 95/98 running on various machines. That way, I know I've got something that'll be compatible.

Wow this looks awesome.
The only question remains:When are you going to put up some tutorials on how you do these wonderful backgrounds?
And also, how is it that you seem to make these games so fast?
I demand answers!!

I have no social life, that's how.  :'(

Also, human sacrifice.

This game is gonna be great! For the record: When I read the title of this game, I realllllly wanted it to be some kind of Leisure Suit Larry type game.

There's always room for that in the sequel.

No John you are the Demons.

And then, John was a zombie.


Anyhow, got to love marines.

this I LOVE.
but I'm still trying to understand what's going on in the first screen shot near the dead body's head?

The walkbehind is a little too big. That's been corrected now. Now she just bleeds everywhere.

Nice graphic style, TR.

Thanks, it's called "anti-alias the hell out of everything".

Does he get a gun to fend off hi-jackers, btw?

Not a gun, but if I told you what he *does* get, I'd be spoiling a puzzle.
