Nice interview again!

I await the next...

I put the stuff in repeatedly_execute_always and it works. So I don't think it was the dialogue that was a problem. Weird.

Anyway, thanks for that.

Ryan, your idea is what I looked at first and that works fine too. I just didn't get it quite right first time.

Can't believe I overlooked that! 

One problem I am having though is it doesn't seem to work because I set the timer during a dialogue...

I've got a puzzle I need to (finish) scripting where you have a certain amount of time to do something.

I basically need:

1. You cause char to move (done this bit)
2. Have 20 secs to do something whilst they are gone.
3. After 20 secs, the char moves back.

Haven't got a clue where to start, because Wait() blocks other events and all the solutions to a "non-blocking wait" involve something repeating over and over - which this doesn't.

Thanks in advance for the help, everyone!

SEE BOTTOM FOR NEW PROBLEM

Heaps better!

I've never liked that font. Besides that though, it's great!

If there was one more thing, the style of the logo is completely different to the two art styles used in the game...

Off topic: Encouraging downloads for a freeware game is difficult enough, without having to promote a demo AND the full game. If it's nearly finsihed, I'd concentrate on promoting the final package.

On topic: Really like the look of this game - I have a feeling I've played a bit of it and liked it. You've done a very good job to produce detailed, well populated backgrounds at such a high resolution (for an AGS game).

Wish I could enter this myself. Too much work to do on TLG, though!

I had issues with that - took me a while to work out what to do.

The Boryokudan Gene. Sorry.

I completely understand why you changed the title and I reckon it was the right decision.

This just got a trailer! http://www.zombie-cow.com/?p=859

It's almost like if Dual (or HardyDev) interview you you've "made it" in AGS games development... ;P

You will have to excuse me not reading through this thread in detail but I like the sound of everything in your intro. Too much dialogue gets on my nerves but the option to skip it or, if I'm interested at that point, learn some more about the story and characters is a great idea.

With the dialogue, I've tried to do the same thing with TLG but instead through having quite a few incidental characters.

Amazing

How close was it in the end, Dual?

I lot of praise was heaped on all the entries this month and I really didn't think I'd win, to be honest.

Just found out that I won MAGS!

Thanks to everyone that voted, the competition was VERY strong this month

P.S. There will hopefully be a more user friendly post-MAGS version arriving very soon.

Hi straydogstrut, thanks for the nice comments

Voting for MAGS May ends soon so get playing the other entries and vote.

You have to press the + as many times as the numbers on the card. This could be 5 or 6 so still a guess. Alternatively you can download the cd version which doesn't have this protection. Then you have speech as added bonus.. It's 85Mb though...

Call me a purist but I prefer the cartoon pixely cutscenes in the DOS version . I'll try the +s.

EDIT: WORKED! If you keep pressing + it fills the code in up to the right amount of digits. No guessing involved.

It's a cracked version. I tried pressing random stuff and it didn't work. I'll try the +s if this is different?

@Tramponline: Yeah, it's not level codes. Thanks though

Got this for DOS and using DOSbox to play. Unfortunately, after finishing the second job in New Washington I need some "protection codes" to proceed or the game gets stuck.

I've searched and searched on the internet for these - no luck. Plenty of people have the same problem, though.

Would appreciate any advice you people have, I'm sure someone here has had the same problem. It's a beautiful game and I want to be able to finish it.

Cheers
