I am always having trouble with more realistic art and would like to improve on it. Here are a few things from the book On All Hallows Eve that I drew in sierra style. I think the background looks real enough but the characters sprites look like they could use some work.

Raven Release Thread
I finished the first chapter of Raven! I decided that since it was such a long game I would release it chapter by chapter and release the full game at the end.

Hello. I am trying to get a character who's head and body are seprate so he can talk while walking.
The script I have is fairly simple and works well but it seems like the head moves slightly slower than the body.
here is the code I put in repeatedly execute:

Code: ags

cRus.x = cEgo.x;
cRus.y = cEgo.y - 32;
if (cEgo.Loop == 0){
  cRus.Loop = 0;
}
if (cEgo.Loop == 1){
  cRus.Loop = 1;
}
if (cEgo.Loop == 2){
  cRus.Loop = 2;
}
if (cEgo.Loop == 3){
  cRus.Loop = 3;
  }

Rus is the head character and ego is the body.

Hello I am trying to write sort of a code gui so you can click buttons in a certain order and get something to happen.
This is in repeatedly Execute

Code: ags

  if (Game.GlobalStrings[1] == ".RYRO" {
    cEgo.Say("I just did a draft!");
    }

It keeps saying that the expression was met in the middle of the command.

Hello. I was trying to write a script like loom were if you click on a hotspot it will show an Icon representing it on the gui. Ive created a property called Icon that has the sprite number of the hotspot. how could I get this to work for all hotspots without typing a script for all the possible ones?
Here is the code:

Code: ags

else if (GetLocationType(mouse.x,mouse.y)==eLocationHotspot){
    icon.NormalGraphic = hotspot[1].GetProperty("Icon");
HotspotName.Text = Game.GetLocationName(mouse.x, mouse.y);
  }

Hi. I really admire the style of dott so I tried to remake this screen from Mainiac Mansion.

It turned out like this.

please tell me what you think.

Hey. I hope this is the right board to post this question on. I am working on my new game Raven and the size is increasing rapidly. I have only finished the first half of the first chapter and already the game is 57 megabytes. I am guessing the main problem is that I am using 32 bit colors. I was thinking about using 256 color's but my game involves lot's of alpha blending with sprites. Could I just have the background's in 256 color's and reduce the game size or does the whole game have to be 256?

I just found the game of the old Russian movie called Jack frost which I watched on Mystery Science Theater. I'm surprised that it was made into a game.

I am trying to write a script that when you hold shift the player will run and if you release it the player walks.
This is what I have written:

Code: ags

function repeatedly_execute() {
  if (IsKeyPressed(404) == 1) { 
cEgo3D.LoadDefaultAnimation(eNormal, 30, 40, "data\\witch.ms3d");
if (cEgo.WalkSpeedX == 1) {
cEgo.SetWalkSpeed(3,3);
}
}
  else if (IsKeyPressed(404) == 0) { 
cEgo3D.LoadDefaultAnimation(eNormal, 1, 10, "data\\witch.ms3d");
if (cEgo.WalkSpeedX == 3) {
cEgo.SetWalkSpeed(1, 1);
}
}
}

The only problem is that if I release or press shift while the player is moving, the game crashes. I have tried putting the command "StopCharacterMoving" before set walk speed but then you have to make the character walk twice and it dosen't work very smoothly. Is there a way to get this to work right?

I have been working on making 3d models. Here is a witch that I made.

Here is my entry for the Mags Competition.

Lately I have been trying to create a sierra style background. Heres one that I drew.

It would be a nice option on ags to either have your hotspot walk to point blocking or non-blocking. Most people don't like to wait for the character to walk over to the hotspot. also the objects should have walk to points as well since the character can usually pick up objects.

Is there a way that I could make a key such as escape cause the game to skip any waiting sequences? So if the character is animating with blocking style or something similar, it will skip over it.

Ive been trying to figure this out, but is there a way to make a outline with a certain color appear around an inventory Item when it moves over a clickable object? Sort of like on CMI.
