Well, as I was surfing through the database looking for a game to play, I noticed its very messy in there! Tons of broken links and screens. Does anyone else get aggravated looking through it? I sure do!

I decided to go with a different style yet again.



I'm not too happy with the peeling walls. I've been trying to work on it a little more to make it creepier, but somethings missing. I was thinking about trying to make it as if it were in a vampire-ish game.

Suggestions, C&C, paintovers,  as usual!

I've felt a sudden drop in my health lately, and I suppose it's time to quit.  I tried quitting about a year ago but I only made it for two weeks. The family doesn't encourage me much, and my in-laws smoke like freight trains so I'm constantly tempted.

Anyway, any ex-smokers willing to tell their success stories? I sure could use some encouragement!

edit: after searching the forums, I see this has been brought up before.   But I guess I can still gripe about my in-laws 

...and I live in a tourist town. I can't even go to the gas station for a pack of cigarettes without standing in a long line. This place is packed!

Yesterday, I had to help some tourists from Indiana get one of their BMW crotch-rockets back on the road. One of them that were renting our cabin got drunk and drove it over the hill! But hell, at least they insisted on paying us, even though we "service" it for free.

Anyway, all this brings me to my "real" point...

People from all over the world come to the Red River Gorge/Natural Bridge (Slade, KY). Has anyone from this forum been here?

Just curious to know... 

_{Edit by Andail: Gave thread a more specified topic}

Well, after my comp was pushed of the desk and busted, I finally have a new computer and started to experiment with different styles of bgs. I can do this style pretty easily, but would it be sufficient enough for a game? C&C and paintover the hell out of it 

Plight of a Fool



The band likes it, and my wife and a couple other people hate it. So, critique it! I'd like to see who likes and who hates it...

I sure hope critiquing a band name can be pulled of on this forum... It's so difficult it should be an art of it's own.

EDIT: Added some concepts to better picture it. C&C those too Now I'm sure I wont get cussed by the moderators

This is my first public game made with AGS.

I was playing around today in fl studio and came up with this.

http://www.mediafire.com/?iggjyqywaej

I didn't put a lot of work into it, so It's not much. But C&C is welcome!

It kinda surprised me to see Yahtzee on Xplay the other day. It was Trippy for me, don't know about you all.  What do you think?

When I put the cursor over the Iconbar, it turns to a pointer, which is okay.   But my problem is that when I move the mouse away from the GUI the cursor is still a pointer.  It's not locked or anything, i just want it to return to the last selected cursor.

Code: ags

 
function repeatedly_execute() {
 

GUI *theGui = GUI.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y);
if (theGui == gStatusline) {
FadeGuiIn_NoBlock(gIconbar, 0, -20, 0);
SetCursorMode(eModePointer);
  }

else if (theGui == null) {
 FadeGuiOut_NoBlock(gIconbar, 100, -20, 0);
  }

}

With out the SetCursorMode(eModePointer); it wont turn to a pointer when over the gui.

I also had to turn the Iconbar's visibility to normal in the gui controls. ( Just giving as much info as i can  )


(BTW... I'm using the fading things module by Lazarus & Ashen)

Painted this in about 10 minutes. It's for a game I'm planning. Figured I'd start simple  8)




EDIT: I added a house to it. Paintovers welcome.

What do you think? Would it be a bad idea and look weird? Or, would it be interesting?

I've been dabbling in AGS for a while. I think this is my best sprite so far. Please C&C and paint overs are always welcome!

I'm a beginning writer, and I've dabbled in a few short stories. But I've decided to try my hand at a Children's Novel. If there are any writers here, I'd love a few pointers to put me in the right direction.

here's what I have...

p.s. I don't know If I can post this here, but I think I've seen stories and such before on this forum. Plus, I didn't see anything against it in the rules. Forgive me if I'm wrong.

I'm sittin' here drunk and wondering...

Has anyone ever tried making/working on a game intoxicated?

just like too see who has

I've finally started working on my first game made with AGS. After many failed attempts at background artwork, I think I've finally found a style that I'll stick with.  C&C and improvement tips are welcome as well as paint-overs. 


This is the first bg and about the only thing i've done so far.

I can run the AGS editor under ubuntu(feisty) linux with WINE just fine. I can test a game until I press quit, then the cursor in the game window completely locks up, but the cursor outside of the window moves normaly.

Does anyone know what I can do to to fix this?

Wine seems like it runs a little slow as well. I'm a slight a newbie to Linux, btw, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm planning a new game and I'm still trying to decide on what style I want to use.  This is a rough concept of the main character. I was thinking about going the less detailed route (Since it's easier for me to animate and a lot of people could care less) but C&C and paint-overs are totally welcome.

I'm slightly new here.  I'm mainly a writer, but  I've been making adventure games under cover.  I "painted" this to visualize one of my characters. Critique it as much as you like.
