Latley I've been playing a lot of the old classic Sierra games, including Leisure Suit Larry, Police Quest and Space Quest; mostly games I have never played.

I began to realise something, AGS has abilities to make games such as ones like these, but I feel that it is slipping more to the Lucas-Arts side of the genre; much like the games I make. I really do miss some of the classic text-parser games, where some puzzles reside within the wording.

I play a lot of AGS games nowadays, and although not have some of the best, biggest adventuring knowledge I'm still a fan. I think that alliance can usually be spread by the first adventure game you pick up, which for me was Hugo House of Horrors, followed by Monkey Island 1. Because of this I chose lucas-arts games - the graphics were better, the humour was more enjoyable, guybrush had such a funny name, and I was a n00b on the adventure scene and didn't enjoy dead ends or death.

Most of the community seem to have forgotten about all CJ's hard work in implementing the text parser, so somebody please use it, I really enjoy sitting at my keyboard thinking up things to do :)

My main argument in this post, is really to get you thinking, which way are you swaying, and why? - is it because of the first game you ever played?
Why does it seem that Sierra style games aren't as popular?

Thanks for reading my random outburst of jibberish :D

I agree with minimi the backgrounds do look a bit empty, try to liven them up with everyday objects such as.

1)litter, junk, cracks in walls, dirt, pigeons, antenna, roof shack thing etc...
2)Coffee tables, lamp shades, magazine rack, armchair?


could any of these suggestions help?

A part form that I like your style, keep up the good work :D

I consider myself an oldie... in a way, I've been aroudn a while. I think that, in my case, I can be slightly intimidated by a lot of the n00bs, as some people have so much talent :(
But most of the newbies are, well nothing more than newbies, we seem to have made good friends within the comunity, and it being so big, can make it difficult to become friendly with every newbie out there. I do not think that it is a lack of respect for the newbs, but more of a general, not knowing of people.

:O ... no more talking about boobies :'(

Oh wel, they seem fair and I agree, it foes get out of hand sometimes, but if people want to go off on random talk about any old nusence, whether it be to argue or anyhting use another channel :D #meatball is one I started up which has a bot called bob-bot on sometimes.

I am loving this game to bits, evrything is incredible, the animations are so brilliant, how did you get them so smooth and perfect? did you model around someone performing the tasks? Got any quick tips for animating?

This is definatly becoming my favourite AGS game of all times (sorry Pleurghburg and Larry Vales) I hope you have plans for an aprentice 2 or another, yet similarly brilliant game.

:D

Thumbs up :D

I ares coming... :D

Just waiting... waiting................... waiting



I think it would be better if we were to all chip in and buy food as a group rather than individually otherwise we will all cook individual food. But if there are people that don't want to eat what the group eats then they can sort themselves out.

p.s andail - information would be helpful about buses for us brits :D

I think you should state whether or not it is mittens based or not, don;t be so sketchy round the edges, i was hoping you would send me the guidlines before hand so I could read over them, but they seem fine, my only critique is that you should be less vague, either you want mittens or you dont, or another theme, also could you perhaps outline what is meant by "an 'illustrious' member of the AGS community" as it may help people.
