Ooop, another one I nearly forgot about, and this one has a download as well



Check it out!

I learned of both of these via Gnome's Lair's book posts - he's a swell guy, loves adventures and old games and AGS games, so it's a great place to spend some of your net reading time

It was just released today

(also, Grundy and I are back to back in that second book - REPRESENT! )

Haha yes, I loved it! 

Haha oh dear.

Happy birthday Dennis, nice looking pics Snarky and congratulations to the AGS forums for taking a joke much further than I ever thought it would be taken.

Very classy, Ghost!

Looks good!

I tried and am pretty sure I failed, but maybe you can take something from it:



My real advice though? Screw Imageshack Imgur all the way, these days.

Well, I have now finished it! Short review: Took a little over an hour, more of a puzzle game than an adventure game, very cute graphics and lovely music, one puzzle still makes no sense to me even though I solved it by using a walkthrough (don't normally use walkthroughs but I had searched everywhere for hints to it, and even tried following what I *thought* were hints to it but the solution seems totally obscured to me).

In short, it's not overly long and some of the puzzles are challenging - I needed a paper and pen for this game - but I enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next episode.

Brilliant - guess what I'm doing with the rest of my evening

Haha awesome, Vegetable Patch Extreem Turbo was amazing.

Although I'm pretty sure I already PMed you a while ago to remind you that

Good luck with it 

Haha oh man I laughed a lot 

Keep them coming - I'd love to see this become a regular thing!

Love those character and scenery animations!

Ben304: If you manage to finish Grim with it, can you give us a report? I'd love to replay Escape From Monkey Island before playing Tales.

Considering they have EFMI at 1% progress at the moment, that could be a while! (Let's keep our hopes up though)

All this time spent working on it, and by August you only plan to have a trailer released?

How's it feel to be the Duke Nukem Forever of homemade adventure games?

This comment about one of the very few AGSers who manages to make full length, quality adventure games and release them on a regular basis, doing almost everything all by himself?

That's not a very accurate or fair metaphor!  

Ah yes, I am aware that some have managed to get it working on XP, and even tried following a number of these solutions myself, including the ones to get around the issues with hyperthreading - while I have had it running, there were always issues that popped up still, and made it basically unplayable.

This seems like a much simpler, more pleasing solution!

My apologies if this has been mentioned before, but I don't recall it being brought up!

I had my attention drawn to the Residual project this afternoon; what it appears to be is a project similar in nature to ScummVM, but for the GrimE engine.

Considering how little luck I've had getting Grim Fandango to run on anything that isn't a Windows 98 machine, I find this very exciting news! Apparently the project status is up to "completable with a few minor glitches".

The project's site is here!

Great! I love angrily confronting old friends

I am of the opinion that the worse a meal looks, the better it tastes.

Therefore, I'd totally eat this! (but I'm also the least picky eater ever )

Here's a quick paintover:



Just a few easy changes for things that caught my eye.

...I suppose you could join in with me and Chooker, if that would help 

I don't think I've ever had a week bad enough to post about in here! (Or maybe I only ever remember the good stuff )
