Fits the discription very well. Does not lack female advantages, but remember I am 24  

I love Lisa Simpson too. Too bad she does not become older to marry me  :'(

The list of games is amazing. Hard to realise how many great games have apperades this year. But I cannot vote either, same problem here  :'(

Edit: Worked now, thanks a lot to DG

Don't the sentences go down instead of to the right and use funky little line pictures as words?

They can go down, but they also can go to the right. At the internet for example, all Japanese is written from left to right as we "longnoses" are used to do it  

Kanji is the pictoral and hiragana and katakana are referred to as "Kana" in general. And Japanese is definetely NOT the easiest language to read, because you cannot ignore Kanji. Apart from children books, all Japanese texts will contain lots of them.
How did I learn Japanese... I first tried it on my own for some months, but did not really have enough self-discipline. Then I went to Japanese class once a week in my hometown. I did that for about 18 months. Then I spend one year in Japan learning Japanese 4 hours every day. After that I went home and started to study at Japanese department in my university. I also did some part time jobs translating Japanese, so I cannot really regard Japanese as a plain hobby anymore.
What general is a good advise if you don't want to take the classes: Use the internet! There are many friendly Japanese people who would love to help you study, but be careful not to get to lazy and just talk to them in English. There are some nice pen-pal sites especially with Japanese people, for example the one at www.japan-guide.com
And it seems like some people can get NHK Japanese lessons (NHK is the national broadcast service of Japan) via "ceratin sources" from the internet. I don't know them myself, but maybe you could check those out.

[by the way] Does anyone know where I can get a japaneas font?

If you are not talking about funny fonts and just about normal fonts to write on your pc, you should check this blue little box on the status line of your windows xp, which probably says "EN" as long as you are typing English. Using it, you can install the Japanese writing support in windows xp, which will be supported by most software, as Word, Outlook, Internet Explorer, ICQ...
For the structure of the sentences: You cannot really compare it to English. First of all, the word order in a basic sentence is different. While English is a SPO-language (Subject, predicate, object), Japanese always puts the predicate (that means the verb) at the end of a sentence. Second, Japanese is an agglutinative language: While European languages inflect words to show their function within a senctence (like Peter becomes Peter's in English or Kinder becomes Kindern in German), Japanese "glooms" post-preposition behind a word. Also most of the verbs can be build by glooming certain parts on them. When understanding the concept its pretty easy, because there is almost no irregular verb or noun to remember in Japanese. The writing and reading will keep you busy for a long time, but the grammar is so easy and logical, its a big surprise sometimes.
I have been learning Japanese for 6 years now. I have been able to have simple conversations after one year and to be more or less fluent and read and write normal emails after thre years. Having a book-or-newspaper-reading-ability though took me 6 years (yes, I just finished reading the first book )
So don't give up and enjoy, its a good thing to learn !

I need a little help..

What a wonderful game indeed. After I posted my problem here I already found out, I could solve my problems by senseless violence again, hehehehe. Wonderful humor, wonderful character designs, wonderful texts. And nice song, Duzz Great!

Great! I have been waiting for this since you posted your first screenshots long time ago. I got scared already something happened to it, so happy now  

House and car look really good, but I think the trees should be a bit bigger, unless you are making a game about Bonsais  And how about some white stripes on the street? And maybe make the windows a big bigger, but this is just my feeling...

The cactus is hidden, because it will surpise someone like Vel who is walking in the fields and steps on the cactus. If the catsus wasn't hidden, Vel would not step on it  

Whoops, wrong link! Ha ha, silly me! Here's the

It's so small, I need glasses. Is he holding a chicken???

Hi everyone,
I am working on my new game and I don't want to use the classical gui, rather using a simple point and click control, using just the left and the right button of the mouse. One button should be for look at and the other one should be for all kinds of interactions. But I can't really decide which one should be left and which one should be right. So what do you think? Which of the two ways would be most enjoyable for you?

Of course the character is easily recognised being a Poser character. I don't mind that at all, but maybe you could consider making him look a bit different, by applying some face-morphs or other hair style or use the michael-figures by daz or something like that. But I like Poser too and I am sure sometimes I want to use it as well  

Questions:
-There are a few scenes where if the player totally screws up big time (eg. blows up a bar before gathering intel from there) there's this arcade type "Game Over" screen. Can this be appreciated in the adventure games scene?
-Will I get into trouble for using images of Pamela Andersson, Michael Jackson, Darth Vader and Osama Bin Laden?
-I will appreciate all insane ideas for this game!

Graphics look nice
For your question, I don't think you will really get in trouble for using those images, but some people might it regard being "tasteless". As long as you are ready not to start fighting who have this opinion and accept their criticism, it should be ok.

Great game so far  
But how can I seperate the rich guy from his mum?  :

Yes, it's december alreadyyyyyyy  

One thing i find a bit weird is:

When Ian greets the barwoman he says "Hello, sir"

I loved that part   It's like Simon is reffered to being a little girl

I love your game, it's just so lovely weird.  8) But I think the old man at the motel looks like an old woman. I thought about commiting suicide when he was referred to as "his" and not "her". Waaah, see, your game made me crazy... uga uga boom booom  :o

Hello,
ist there some way to disable any mouse function? I know how to make the mouse pointer invisible, but still when clicking, it will do some reaction at the place where its on the screen. Is there some quick way to include something like a "if any mouseclick - do nothing" code?
