[Implemented]

In the last week I built a Myst-style adventure game system in Unity using C#. I'm no programmer, but it was easy to make, so I am hoping some of you might want to get together and build something much better.

It would be released for free, and give people a base on which to build their own adventures. And they'd be playable in a browser.

I'll release what I have so far if anyone is interested in taking a look, but it would probably be easier to start from scratch, because the way I've implemented some of the features may not be the best way.

Implemented

• 360 degree view
• Movement between points with smooth camera - Uses a trigger/hotspot system and iTween.
• Inventory - simple array.
• Dialogue system - Uses simple indexes/links, and displays character portraits, but can't flag variables etc yet.

----------

Demo (Requires Unity browser plugin)

The inventory works fine, but the verb coin won't appear.

Anyone know how to fix this?

I'm sure it had Harrison Ford's head pasted onto a body for the main character. He had a chibi body with funny simple feet animation.

It was an entrant in MAGS at some point years ago (03-06?).

Randomly, I want to find it. Anyone remember it?

"Vivendi Universal left a few things out in announcing the termination of 350 employees today. CNN reports the company has also cancelled the Hoyle card and puzzle games franchise, which was a substantial hit with casual gamers, and closed the Bellevue studios. Bellevue, of course, was the last tie with the Sierra name, though VU Games still plans to use Sierra as a brand name."

So they're still going to use the Sierra name because people are familiar with it...

Is there such a program that lets you change your keyboard keys? Basically my laptop has this "Fn" key in the bottom left where Ctrl should be and I keep on pressing it by mistake. The Ctrl key has been nudged one position to the right and I sometimes hit the windows key when I attempt to press it. I need to make Fn = Ctrl.

Damn these laptop screens are bright, my eyes are dying just typing this!

There is a lot of blood in this, so it's not for the faint of heart! It gets worse as the movie goes on.

I was looking for a job in Edinburgh for the summer and i came across this:

They're looking for games testers for a leading games company. The only company i can think of in Edinburgh is Rockstar North, they're based in a place called Leith.

I found out San Andreas is due for release on October 19th, and the print out i have says the duration of the contract lasts 4 months... which sort of matches up to when it'll be released. Hmmmmm, this could be pretty interesting :)

This is supposed to be based on Johnny Depp from Sleepy Hollow. The face needs some work and the arm position on the side view...

I don't know if many people know about this, but i thought i'd post it anyway. It lets you upload any type of file to their server and gives you a link to it that lasts for 7 days. No more free hosting bandwidth limits when people try to d/l your games!

This image has taken up desktop space for long enough, i noticed i hadn't even touched it since March last year. It's not much but i guess it's better here than in the recycle bin!

It was supposed to be a funny death penalty where criminals are hung by their neck and cars drive into them, but it was never really finished.

It's not going to help much since most of the spam we get is from outside the UK, but at least they're doing SOMETHING.

I just bought GameMaker magazine and i've come accross 4 pages devoted to creating a little mini-game in AGS.

Scans incoming.......

I can't find the trial of PSP7 on google and jasc.com only have version 8 available for download. I tried 8 but i don't reckon it's as good, thanks.

Has anyone else seen this really lame gameshow that's just started on Sky One? It's another one of those shows where the presenters know absolutely nothing about games. Mention a Radeon or a GeForce to them and they'll probably stare blankly back at you.
It even has a cheats section which is a total waste of tv time since there's this little thing called the internet.

Here's a page i found with some quotes from the presenters, scroll down to bananaman_007's 2nd post: http://forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/t/82911/ds.html

One good thing is that the voice-over woman totally slated the Charlie's Angels game. That's about the only good thing.

Based on the lead singer of Pearl Jam


Added some more shading to make shirt more 3d:


He's for a 320x200 res by the way.

[17th :: 00:29] Working on BG's - Saloon entrance WIP, i'm tired, my eyes hurt. Going to bed now. Server DOWN.
[23:23] Added possible face for Lefty and an evil henchman!
[16:26] Added badge, heh

I'm going to be posting some concept sketches of my upcoming game Pancho & Lefty here!! Pancho's the sheriff of a yet unnamed Wild Western type town and Lefty's his rather dumb deputy who will follow you around Sam & Max stylee.

Looking now i've forgot his gun and badge but OH WELL, i think his hat might be a little too big. He's in about late 30's early 40's. C+C please:

Color test thing, not final just random colours:

Possible face for Lefty:

Evil henchman 1:

[17th :: 00:29] Saloon Entrance WIP, perspective's a bit dodgy on the bottom two steps and the dark wood touching the floooooor.
