I have not played Myst, but from what I know, your friend might like The Oracle.

A close-up can still be interactive. Or do you mean having a walkable area? This would exclude all first person adventures.

Why use rooms for close ups, it always bugged me as a no-no.

Why not? I think it's the easiest way to do it. I don't like AGS GUIs much.

monkey, I'm pretty sure this is a reference to the song Que Sera, Sera with the meaning you already figured out: instead of "Whatever will be, will be" -> "Whatever you make, will be".

Maybe next year we should include gay men making out? Will everyone feel comfortable with this?

I hope you had a shower since last year

The movement of the tie, where it meets the vest, is weird.
Despite the toon shader it is visible that the animation was not done "by hand" in 2D, most noticeable in the front view.
The coat looks pretty good for a 3D model, though.

Congrats!

Congrats, NickyNyce - looking forward to the new contest

In other words, bug-fixes will be once a year if one of the other devs feels like fixing something, and AGS 4 will be 10 years off.. nice.

This is a do-ocracy, so I you want more frequent updates, make them, but don't complain that other people are not doing them for free in their free time

Crimson, I didn't write here yet, because I didn't find the right words. I fully understand that after such a huge milestone you feel somewhat burnt out. Please take a break from development and maybe even enjoy playing AGS games. But know for sure, that your effort were not futile. You did a fantastic job as a development lead (a position you didn't even ask for, I guess it just happened) and there is no need to feel bad about it. Actually, I was impressed how well you even managed the different branches and feature request.

AGS is not just an engine that, admittedly, might not be state of the art anymore, but also a community. So I hope that you will still stick around and maybe, in a few month or so, you can look at this thead with a smile because everything just turned out much better than it seemed back then.

Thanks for all, cat

Amazing picture, it was my favourite. However, I doubt I'll find time and motivation to participate...

When you put the vanishing point to the far left, you should use 2-point perspective (google for it, there are tons of tutorials on the web). This will help you to also get those lines that are going to the right side correctly (the top of the structure with the door looks off now).
What you will do is add another layer with a vanishing point on the right side. Since you figured out how to do the left side, this will be a piece of cake for you.

I like your progress and style

Even Amor has to go with the zeitgeist and so he swapped his arrows for a golf kit.

Welcome violetnotpurple! Are you a definite this time?

OMG this is jaw-dropping impressive, Miez

Wheeeee! Great - will you come alone or the two of you?
The first deposit is already paid, according to the website we have to the next payment two months before Mittens, so no need to hurry.

Goats are almost as awesome as sheep - looking forward to this!

Cat, how much should I paypal you for the villa?

I'd say we do that once the final payment is due, then we also know how much to pay for each person. It's less complicated and will save us transaction fees. If you confirm that you are a definite, I'll put you on the list.

So is anyone planning to drive, or to get a rental car?

I don't think we need to. It's about 1 hour by public transport from the airport to the villa and we can go to Lisbon by train (on weekdays there should be a train every 15 minutes). Also there is the historic tramway that can bring us to the beach. And I think there is plenty of stuff to see in Sintra as well.
