You need to write the Character.Walk code using all the interiors. In your case it would be:

Code: ags

c(the name of the character).Walk(int x, 250, eBlock,Ã, eAnywhere);
c(the name of the character).ChangeRoom(int room, optional int x, optional int y);

And now, some exclusive art and rough music from "Darren and James: The Fast Food Chase", the game that I am working on set for a 2007 release.


The main two characters sprites.

Three new screenshots:

The new main menu.


Darren on the bridge at Funky Land.


James speaking on the phone about the robbery at their home. There should be mess all over the floor here. But I haven't put it in yet.Ã,  (Anybody spot an AGS reference here?)


A work in progress background.

And now, a very rough music track. When the track is done, it will be posted on the Critics Lounge for improvement.

And finally, my most time consuming image.

Spain longshot.

I would've posted the new site, but it's not finished yet!

See you all later!

I like the look of this! Nice graphic style and one of my favourite genres!

I'm looking forward to this!

Hi everyone!

I have bumped this thread by accident when I was trying to edit the first post, so I'll give a little update on progress and replies to the replies in this thread.

Nice work, Fenton! And thanks for emulating the DNG interface

I'd be happy to chip in some anims once DNG2 is out the way.

Thanks Iceman, but I think I can do it by myself now.Ã, 

I love games like this!!! Please get it finished soon!

Thanks! It will be finished in 2007. Well, that's what I'm aiming for. I'm rubbish with deadlines!

Haha, this looks so very great! I want to play this. I agree with the others that the story sounds really interesting. It's a pity though that you didn't finish your HP game. I was looking forward to that one too. Good luck with this though, I hope you'll do better with this one!

Good job fenton! I liked how your HP game looked too

Thanks you two! I may return to my HP game if I want to, but not yet. This game is more important and original. And I guarentee I will do better!

And now the progress.

I have changed the games name to "Darren and James: The Fast Food Chase" so that it will hopefully attract more attention and explain basically what the game is about.

I am no longer looking for composers or animators since I am much better than what I was now. I will be posting some samples in the critiques lounge a few times though.

The new site is almost ready and will be made public when completely finished.

The demo isn't far away now and I promise you will have fun playing it and the full game.

It's me, in my new "office" room, working on my game.

It's not brilliant, but it's Donkey from Shrek.
17 colours.

I've decided not to upload my game. I've hardly done a thing on the game, it looks rubbish and I was busy with my bigger project too. And next time I enter one of these competitions, I will spend a month on it, not just a week.

I've made the poster for the game now. I'm calling the game "The Castle of Death". I've hardly done anything on the game in this month. So for the whole of this week, I'm really going to get stuck in. (I'm busy with my own game too.)

The graphics aren't too good, but everything else seems ok. Btw, I'm using the MI2 template.

This looks really good! Much better than before!Ã, 

Maybe when the game is done, it can go head to head with the Fountain of Youth project.Ã, 

Cool! I'm entering this one! 

Wow! That's really cool!Ã,  :o

I love Doctor Who and I enjoyed playing the demo, though I think some of the dialogs between people were too long. But other than that, great demo! Looking forward to the full game!

Pib from Apprentice and Brain from Da New Guys are my favourites.

It's the Monkey island pirate ship! 24 colours.



Uh, pirate ship, space ship? Oh never mind.Ã,  :

My Game: Darren and James: The Fast Food Chase (My first and biggest project. I'll love it when it's done.)

About the lamp and the coach:
He means the lamp in the first screenshot of Da New Guys's room. In the first game, it was on the other side of the COUCH. Not the coach.Ã, 

About the chapter selection screen:
I used it for the alternate ending and just to get to other parts faster.

By the way, if anyone wants to play the second ending straight away without having to play through the whole game:

Spoiler

Press Tab in the main menu and go to Part four.

I don't know if I'm the first to spot this, but it's here if you need it.Ã, 

About the voices: I want to do a voice (as I said earlier), but I would prefer to just be a minor role. Not a main character.

My first competition entry!Ã, 

I used The Gimp to create this 38 frame long animation. I spent about an hour and a half on it. I apoligise for a bit of bag quality at times, I haven't fully mastered animation yet and the Gimp isn't that good at resizing.

 need some people to join me with this project. First I need a music composer, and second I need an animator. I'm starting to get good at these things, but it's nowhere near good enough to turn it into the best game ever.

I'd like the music composer to be someone that can do many different moods and has had experience with it before. Anyone interested, please send me a PM and I'll tell you what to do next. I had mOds or Geoffkhan in mind, but I don't know what they're doing at the moment. So PM me if you want to help out with music and I'll send you the theme tune I have already made. Then I'd like you to try and improve it in any way possible.

Another thing I need is an animator that can do hi-res, has had experience and can make the animations look believable and professional.

Here are the two main characters of the game. These characters will have the most animations.


James


Darren

IceMan has already said he'll do some animations, and that's great! I may need a few more as well though.

I've just re-written Part Ones script to make it tie into the story a lot more. I'm also redrawing a few of the backgrounds too. I'm first drawing them by hand, then tracing them onto the computer and adding extra little bits to turn it into something I think is good. (See the screenshot below for an example).

I'm also using a One Cursor system now too, like in Da New Guys. This lets the player character do the most obvious thing, but without having to create a new and confusing interface.Ã,

I'm starting my two GCSE school years tomorrow, so production will have to slow down a little, but it will still carry on of course. So here's another screen to keep you entertained until the demo arrives.

fentonfilms: Ahem, yeah, sorry about thatÃ,  ::)Ã,  No news on the site in NO WAY means work on DNG 2 isn't going on.Ã,  It's hard to pin down a real release date, since I keep coming up with new ideas on a whim, which then take 2 days to dump in.

But, fingers crossed, it'll be ready in ... a month?

Okay then. I really can't wait! 

Sorry to bring up a dead post but since people where having trouble downloading this i decided to mirror it. http://www.agsn.co.uk go to the 2d point and click section of the downloads.

GRRR! YOU MADE ME THINK DA NEW GUYS 2 WAS OUT!!! I'm so excited about that game and I check IceBox's site every five minutes to see if it's done yet.

Where is IceMan anyway? He hasn't been on the site in over a month?
