Me = loving it.

Good point about handles.

Maybe board up the windows. Some cogwebs here and there.

Did a quick n dirty paintover. Is it gonna take place during the day, or at night?

I presumed night, as you can see. The window light casting is a bit wonky, but you get the idea.


For a ghost mansion I reckon that looks about right.

I'm doing a get-out-of-the-room 3d-style game, but at the moment my character is the size of a lego person compared to the furniture etc. Just wondering if, when I made my character taller would that lift the camera height up?

I'm not quite sure why you brought up camera height. But I don't think that's an issue. AGS doesn't work that way.

Try making a walkable area and setting the scaling to 200. If your character is then too big, input values between 100 and 200 until the character fits in compared to the furniture.

I wasn't exactly enthusiastic about the contents after seeing what the trailer was all about.

Same. Trailers like that annoy me. Just like the first trailer of The Da Vinci Code. Real footage damnit!

i can see nico's apartment is a rework, but its just copied from bs 1. the other 3 looks like they come directly out of bs 1.

They took familiar locations from the actual BS games and pimped them a bit. You know, sharpness, gradient, blur, new chars, some misc stuff.


BTW, in the demo, the piece of blurred cupboard in the forgeground is actually exactly the same as in the Irish pub in BS1, only mirrored.

Instead of 'player walks onto region', put that bit in 'while player stands on region'. Works for me.

Wouldn't it be easier to close the GUI when you press/select a cursor mode there? I'm not sure how extensive your GUI is. I have a similar GUI (Right-click = GUI with all cursor modes. You click on one, and it changes to that and closes GUI). I use 2.6, so I guess for 2.7 it's something like:

Under sectionstart on_mouse_click:

  if (button == eMouseRight) {   
    gKarma.Visible = true;
    Gui.SetPosition (Karma, mouse.x, mouse.y);
}


And under sectionstart interface_click:

  if (gKarma.Visible == true) {
        if (button == BUTTONNUMBER) {       
         gKarma.Visible == false
         SetCursorMode(CURSORMODE#AFFILIATEDWITHTHATBUTTON);
        }
        if (button == SOMEOTHERBUTTONNUMBER) {       
         gKarma.Visible == false
         SetCursorMode(CURSORMODE#AFFILIATEDWITHTHATBUTTON);
        etc etc

You were gone?

Fantastic initiative, very useful!

I googled artgem lasso tool (and surprisingly the first hit was Increators background tut ). I don't have any experience with Artgem, but I reckon it's fairly similar to Photoshop. You can draw custom selections then, useful if the area you want to move isn't square.

Respect, where respect is due 

Cheater! He's looking.

I remember seeing a commercial a few years ago where a menu popped up after some guy was fiddling with a bra. Now that would be useful. For a lot of things.

[EDIT]
Heh, I can't believe I actually found it again.

Yup, (3) for me too. I think another benefit of this approach is that if people like it, you get more motivated, and in turn (at least for me that is) you go about improving/polishing what you have. You come up with new ideas, you rethink what you have and you improve it. This way the final product will be different from the demo, and a pleasant surprise for those who will play it.

Yeah, I reckon Darth will be here any second. In the meantime, I might as well wonder why VII erased his posts...

[best demo]

Oh well, why the heck not...

The Majestic Conspiracy.
Mirror 1
Mirror 2

I'll put it up for best demo. I'll refrain from plugging it for anything else until it's done. (Which doesn't mean you can't )

I'd also like to use this opportunity to say that I'm still working on it, just about 50% now.

Sounds good. Maybe a little more articulation and it'll be fine. And cut the exhale noise.

Sounds complicated. I'm not much of a mathematic/scripting genius. I'm sure others are.

An easy work-around would be just to specify a click(maybe with only a certain cursormode) on your enemy as a gunshot. So you press a button, he dies. Just like real-life warfare Sure you're accuracy would be 100%, but it'll be fun.

Oh yeah my bad, I read 01:30 instead of 01:03

"Using in-game footage and some very minor tweaks, this movie tells the storyline of Ben's struggle to clear his and his biker gang's name when they are falsely accused of murder. The GUI is hidden throughout the movie, gameplay elements, cutscenes and dialogue that add little to the overall storyline have either been trimmed or completely removed."

It's 90 63 minutes of pure gaming nostalgia.

Another happy new year! It's 13:45 here, and I've only just gotten up. Yeah I'm pretty wasted...

If you intend to convert video, burn a cd, surf the web, look at some pictures AND play an AGS game at the same time, sure, it'll be very useful.

64-bit doesn't make any existing program run faster. It only makes sure it ontinues running at optimal speed while you have a few other high-demand programs open alongside it (given it has 64-bit support AND you have a 64-bit processor).
