I'm sorry to hear that, Arj0n
I hope that you will still stick around here on the forums and get back your energy soon.

@All: The house looks great and New Orleans sounds exciting, I wish you all a great Mittens!
Maybe I will see at least some of you at next AdventureX...

The format was a bit messed up in the game authors box. I fixed it, but please check if everything is correct now.

[IDEA/CONCEPT]

Best IDEA/CONCEPT piece  MISJ with LOOMINOUS as runner-up
Most PLAYABLE piece  GRUNDISLAV closely followed by 304
Best ARTISTIC EXECUTION  WRK's magnificent piece is just a few pixel ahead of 304

Happy birthday, Dirk!

And happy belated one, Ghost!

There is only one ingredient that can help you through long game-making nights - a big pot of strong coffee

- How to do collaborative work?
- More generally : how to scale up a project?

^ This.

I find that version control does work on code files, but not on room files and other stuff like that. What is a reasonable way to handle that?

I like the stop motion and story, but the camera movement is a bit distracting.

Got myself a new avatar, now I'm just waiting for the final download of the ceremony and then I'm ready to party!

Well, the site you are seeing now is the refreshed version. Just a few years back the site would look like this, and it took quite a long time to get the current version up and running.

Did the 22:00 columns just disappear?

Vote for your favorite day and time of the ceremony!

Is there actually a date for the ceremony yet?

This time I can probably come to the test-run.

To be honest, I think the rules are too strict. It's much more inspiring when you can go wild with your own ideas.

So, was it successful? Did you crash the server?

There is a familiy meeting I have to attend at the given time. But if it is of any use, I could login to the chat around noon and keep the program running so more people are connected.

Sounds interesting! Are all game DRM free downloads?

How could I have missed that? Very belated happy birthday, Arj0n!

I once made a thread about scrolling rooms (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=31712.0). Sadly, since Imageshack does not work anymore, all pics are gone. I will try to find them if you are interested. The conclusion was to use different vanishing points for every building in the scene. This works because they will not be visible at the same time anyway.
As a result of the thread I made the background this way:

(a small bit with the tree is missing in the middle)

The advantage of one-point perspective is, that it is easy to draw. The disadvantage is the large scaling between foreground and background. If you limit the walkable area to an equidistant level from the vanishing point, you should be fine, though.

In any case, think twice before doing stairs or other complicate structures at a different angle than the vanishing lines - this can be a nightmare to construct (I know because I tried already)

Hi nosehair, if you write a teaser, I can put it up for April.

Thanks!
