[The Bad Guys]

Well, since the last sprite Jam was a long time ago I ask to make another and revive this, so here we go.

The Bad Guys

"Hi guys! My name is Billy and since I kick off all the people of my old group I feel a little bit alone, so I want to make this ad to ask some fellas to join a new group of bad guys. I can't be rude without some friends supporting me, every bad guy have a group. So if you have potential come to my garage and I will prove you."

Guidelines:

• You can make the sprite as human, humanoid, monster, alien, male, female or whatever you want, the only restriction is make a bad guy.
• The character should be AGS-ready. Billy wants a real complete bad guy.
• The bad guy should have a name and a description, make it the rude as possible.
• There are no limitations on palettes or styles.

You can have time to present your enlist petition to join in the Billy's group until the 5th of September.

Since Billy is so conceited, he thinks that being part of his group is an honor, so he decides to make some trophies to the bad guys that win a place on his group.

Trophies

(The most strong and bad guy of the town)

Well since the last MAGS I didn't have time to finished my game I will join on this. I started to work on the game since the competition was posted.

Hi, I searched in the forum and I didn't find anything, so here is my question: Is possible to get the text speech font with a color gradient? I have a gradient text in the gui but that's because it is a sprite, but in the text speech exist a way to get it with gradient?

[BunnyShoggoth:]

BunnyShoggoth: I really love the art bg of the marty's room, it reminds me alot the monkey island 3 style.
CrashPL: That graphics looks very cool I really like the visuals, they remind me the old cartoons (Mickey Mouse, etc)

@Imsomnia212: Cheers! I'm looking forward to see some of your games in the future. Your abandoned mags game already looked very promising.

Soon I will show in the forum something that I'm working on too hard

Sorry for bump this but anyone have a link of the SpriteFont.exe? I downloaded the dll and the generator but I need the creator

Was the demo based on the book, or the film?

It was a crossover of the film and the book with some new things

[Retro Wolf:]

Wait, is that from MAGS game from the current MAGS?

Yes, I started that game only for MAGS but since I didn't have time to finish it I never will work on it (or not in a long time I'm already working on a game before it)

I keep lying to myself that they might get finished one day.

I'm with you on that, I sat on the computer looking on the screen waiting to some magical thing happen so I decide to continue a game hahaha.

Simon, Captain N version

I really like the sprites of this game, it's sad that you never continue it.

Retro Wolf: Don't lose your faith, take your time and continue when you are more inspired

Slasher: Don't let them waiting too much, they need to be alive hahaha

Radiant: The second one is interesting, maybe you will can continue it some day

CaptainD: It's very sad to hear what happened with your Troll Song game, I never played it but I saw some screenshots and it's look amazing, maybe one day in the future you will have enough inspiration and desire to remake it.
And Iesir, that's the most hurt new that I read in my whole life, when I saw that it will never be finished I started to cry hahaha I hope some day maybe they want to finished.

Haggis: The screenshot remind me a lot the monkey island games

Danvzare: That's what I'm doing right now, I'm making a game from other abandoned games that I never finished

Hey thanks for the fix!

Yes sorry about that here is the correct:

Here is a serpent flower (I'm not to much inspired hahaha)

I don't get what you want. You have a label that's show the ítem name but when you click on the item you want to stop showing the label?

[Strange Guest]

Well, everyone have some games that for some reason are abandoned or were cancelled.
I thought that it will be interesting see some of that games. So if you want you can show a screenshot of one or more here to let the other people die for play some of that.

Here are some of mine:

Strange Guest (Abandoned for no reason, maybe one day I will continue it)



Bad Lucky Luke(Was for a MAGS but I never finished it)



Thimbleweed Park DOTT Version (Cancelled for copyright issues and other things)



The Unfortunate Day (Cancelled a long long time ago because I never have time to finished it, after that when I had time I abandoned it)



The Neverending Story (Fan Game)(Was for a university project, I only finished a demo but some years after I never found the files, so I only have the game cover)

Slasher: Is just a screenshot of a part of the game, not the start. I want to show something, just that.

Here is a screenshot of something that I making for this MAGS:

A gif of the animated portal:

I'm in (a little bit late, but that's because I was busy with my own game)

This would require applying different graphic filter at runtime, which AGS currently cannot do, I am afraid. (Well, technically it could, but there is no script command or option to make it do so).

That's sad but maybe in a near future that's Will be possible.
I have another problem, when I set up a bg for the dialog gui (is a image with alpha channel) it show a pink bg and not the transparent img like do when use the ags gui system, see:

Using the ags gui system for the main gui (verbs, inventory items, etc):


Using the dialog script provide by Tumbleweed module:



I set up the script like the note said:

Code: ags

// Background
// set bg img_transparency to -1 if you're using 32-bit graphics and
// want to preserve the alpha channel
this.bg_img                = 276;
this.bg_img_scaling        = 0;
this.bg_img_transparency   = -1;
this.bg_color              = 0;

I don't know if you want but maybe I can help with a spanish translation. Let me know ir you want.

First of all I really love the template.
Well, I have a question: Is possible to show the save screenshot with anti-alising when your game is nearest-neighbor? I wan't to show it like the way Thimbleweed do, but in the template with a nearest-neighbor game, it pixelate and lose information in the screenshot.
