The problem is, after using the fadeout command, the text color goes black, too.
Is your game using the palette (256-color) mode?
If yes, you can type something like this, to restore the text color:

Code: ags

palette[15].r=63;
palette[15].g=63;
palette[15].b=63;
updatepalette();

Why Adventure Games Suck (And What We Can Do About It)

I don't know if you had something in mind like this, but I thought I just show you.

it seems a bit too little to be a demo (felt more like a super-short teaser to me).

Yes, it was supposed to be some sort of tech demo and how I already said, I had not much time.
But maybe I will release a trailer at any time.

Also I've would like that like in the LucasArts games that you click up a menu on the F1 (or F5 if you want to) and there choice to save, load or quit (not the Sierra/Default AGS Ctrl + q or such commands to open these seperately, just to get the same style for the good old Lucas Arts games.

Yes, it's actually in the game, but I wanted a clean template for the demo, so I remade it quickly, and I think, for the short demo a menu is not neccesary.
But I forgot to mention: You can skip speech lines pressing "." (dot), like in the original LucasArts games.

On your site: It's very hard to fill your poll when you don't understand german. Can't you have a language selector on your site?

Yes, it's already planned, but I need someone, who can help me translating.
(My english is far from perfection.)
I was actually talking to [ ... ], because he is a compatriot, and he obviously to likes the game.

So, there is it!
I've put the english translation download at the top of this thread.
I just couldn't translate the verbs not yet, since they are sprites, but it should be a lot easier to understand now.
There could be some grammar mistakes, please report them to me.

Looking good so far, congratulations, although you're not showing off too much.

Yes, I had not much time.

Weiter so!

Dankeschön!Ã, 
If you like the game, visit my site and vote in my poll.
I need some positive votes.

I'm very proud about the eye gag.Ã, 
What do you think?
Funny or stupid!?!Ã, 

Yes, I made this game for the 'release something' thread, and I just didn't come around, to translate the game in time.
In fact, I uploaded the demo 45 minutes before midnight.
But I will add a translation.

But you don't have to understand anything, it's funny anyway (I hope).
Just click "Benutze" and then on the match.

At the top of this thread is now the download link for the demo of my game, I originally made for Kinoko's 'release something'-thread.
It spoofs a part of Monkey Island 2.
I decided to make a demo of this part, because it contains a, how I think, impressing room flicker effect.

I originally used the maya-plugin to create this effect, but with the new version of AGS it's not neccesary anymore.

However, C&C, please!

Ah, just in time!
It's still the 25th of June in germany for about 45 minutes.
However, here is the demo of my Monkey Island parody:

GET IT!

I just didn't come around, to translate this thing, but it will be funny anyway.

Looks like a mother ship to me.

Hey, try this:

Push ctrl+s and use the needles on the voodoo puppet.

Do you know the game "Inherit the Earth" ?
Well, that one is quite annoying, since it's basically just a bunch of back-to-back mazes.

In other words: The whole game is a huge terrible puzzle!

Sorry!!!
Geez, I feel terrible now, really!Ã, 
It won't happen again!Ã, 
I'll go and whip myself!

I've got some, too:

Spoiler

eXistenZ: IT'S JUST A GAME!

Identity: HE'S A SHIZOPHRENIC! (and Timmy is the killer)

Monkey Island 2: HE'S HIS BROTHER!

Black Mirror: HE'S THE KILLER!

[close]

I can translate english games into german language.
I'm also very good in translate or invent new puns.

If you want my help, drop me a mail at thomasvosz@freenet.de .

They stole the Indiana Jones reference, I wanted to put into my Monkey Island parody!
But beside that, I like it!Ã, 

EDIT: Oh yeah, I had the Castaway-reference-idea, you can see in the screenshots, at first, too!

Does anybody wonder why Yoda speaks so funny?
I'm sure, he had an apoplexia.

What a bummer!
It's such a good idea, if it just would be real!

Apropos, will the AGSers World Map will be online ever again?

Iserlohn, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

Great idea!

I'm going to release some sort of tech demo for my game "Adventure Game",
and maybe some new screenshots.
