Just played the demo, it really looks lovely.
It does have awesome visual art.
And the funny little animations when the robot is idle are so funny.

The one game that really sticks in my mind from my youth is Skyroads. I loved this game

Ha! me too

Skyroads rocked 

One word: ScummVM.

ScummVM is what you need indeed for running Discworld 1 & 2.

[V-sign nowaday usage]

@Timothy:
V-sign nowaday usage :

Back of the hand facing the signer:

• square Two â€" nonverbal communication of quantity
  
• square  Victory â€" in a setting of wartime or competition. It was first popularized by Winston Churchill, and sometimes is made using both hands, or upraised arms as President Eisenhower, and in imitation of him Richard Nixon, used to do.
  
• square  Peace or Friend â€" used around the world by peace and counter-culture groups
  
• square  Bunny ears or devil horns â€" used behind the head of a subject of a photograph.

Palm facing the signer:

• square  Two â€" indicating quantity although more common with palm turned around.
  
• square  Insulting â€" largely restricted to the United Kingdom, South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia.
  
• square  Peace â€" in the United States and Canada without respect to the direction.

Used with other movement:

• square  Air quotes â€" flexing fingers, palm out, both hands.
  
• square  The letter V, in American Sign Language â€" used when spelling. This handshape is also used in a number of signs, including "to see/look" done in a similar manner to the military use. When each finger is pointed at the signer's eyes then turned and point one finger at someone it means "I am watching you."
  

@Scarab
Your right:
The legend [which can be true] of the V-sign:
The story claims that the French claimed that they would cut off the arrow-shooting fingers of all the English and Welsh longbowmen after they had won the battle at Agincourt. But the longbowmen came out victorious and showed off their two fingers, still intact [taunt]...

Found some little typos and one sentence was not translated, but hey, it's just a demo.

B.t.w.: very nice city surroundings in your Italian Playable Demo v1.5, they do have a good atmosphere.

[QUESTION and story:]

QUESTION and story: I walked into the office at my work and gave the secretary the peace sign as I approached her desk (I'm always bugging her ).  She told me she believes that in England you'll get your face punched in if you have your hand turned to show your knuckles/palm while giving the peace sign, but with your hand turned around is the correct way.

Is this true?  Is this really an insult in England (which she mentioned she believed it was England, or some country in the vicinity).

Yep, that's true.

It could use some turbo on the walkcycles.. ;-)

Agreed, it's a bit slow.

Just played a bit around and so far:
I really like the graphics and the sound adds a great atmosphere to the game .
I also like the save/load dialogue, looks awesome.
The puzzles are not to easy until now, which is a good thing 
Really enjoying this game so far!

Checking right now 

maybe you can find a clue here?

Hint: your goal is to

electrocute Helen...

Solution:

- Once the buckets on the crane you can shoot it to make water fly out.
- Shoot the switch that's up in the top section so it starts sparking
- Move the bucket infront of the switch
- Wait for helen to pop up in front of the switch
- Shoot the bucket, and water will spray over helen, electrocuting her.

Nope, no bypassing there

Then your at the right spot, you only need to

lure and catch the water fowl. Sure there's something in your inventory that would be of use...

Edit, beaten by Leon. Again.

1993/1994? that's odd, because
"Model 500 - The Flow (Underworld MK 1 Mix)" or
"Model 500 - The Flow (Underworld MK 2 Mix)" or even
"Model 500 - The Flow (Original Mix)"
have been released in 1995...

So, or your sister is wrong or that music app 'Tunatic' didn't catch it properly...

Amazing & awesome job your doing with this AGS -> XAGE project clarvalon!
Hope you get supported with enough useful sources from ags gamemakers
so you can work it all out to a 100% finished and stable version
I'll keep an eye on this project for sure.
Good luck!

Is there a way you can upload that wav?
Or is the filesize to big to upload?
I f had that wav, I could use it with the kablam app on the iphone to let it be detected...

probably because the mp3 is a very bad quality plus I guess it's a mix, not an album or remix album but a live set.
When I use Tunatic, I get a "signal is to weak" message...
How come it works for you? I have a JVC boomblaster on the floor connected to my pc and using the Stereo-mix option.

Have you obtained the parma-thing [sort of bread] from the "white Horse" pub and placed it on the machine in Casey's lab in order to "change" Tim a bit?

If it was a remix CD it would most probably be this one, disk 1. but I doubt that, it sound more like a "mix set" like a "BBC Essential mix" for example. Need just 1 or 2 more song names indeed...

Blue, can you tell me the time position in your mp3 when "Model 500 - The Flow (Underworld remix) starts?

did you already use
