Good game, got through all the endings and thanks for all the hints, just one thing though

Spoiler

was there no way to avenge Simon? I felt kind of bad just letting Max go after he killed my best friend. Some sort of comeuppance would have been nice.

Stuck again in the pub, still on day one.

Spoiler

The task is now to find "weird locations" for the guy in the bar. Am I correct in assuming that I'm to use the computer in the library to look something up?

Spoiler

Unfortunately (for you ) this puzzle is all made out of red herrings and the challenge lies in noticing what is actually important in the orders. HINT: Take notice that the bartender specifically mentions they don't have even half of the stuff the guy in the room above ordered.

Finally solved this one thanks

Spoiler

I sent up the blood sausage and jaffa cakes without any desert and got a key. Since I didn't see the sausage in the list of ordered food that was the one was giving me problems

[close]

Spoiler

Focus on the dumbwaiter and the info on what the guy above ordered. No special items are needed.

Spoiler

Are the jaffa cakes the only one I got right? I didn't see pheasant, quiche, and juice, or quail and jellies, or prawns and quesadilla listed on the menu. Also when the bartender said he ordered the pie does he mean the shepherd's pie or is he talking about something else? Everything I've tried putting in the dumbwaiter just comes back down empty.

Stuck at the pub on day 1.

Spoiler

Ordered the drink three times, fourth time I pass out and the game ends. Is the glass needed for anything?
Asked about the meals ordered and used the meals on the dumbwaiter but not sure which meal works. I tried the shepherd's pie and jaffa cakes since the bartender mentioned them, but not sure what to do for desert as I think I tried the 3 choices but got no result when putting the meal in the dumbwaiter. Tried talking to the door in the backroom and to the window outside the pub.

200+ megs is quite large, Would you consider a light version without the speech pack?

[I do not understand: bookk]

I'd likely just use a dynamic sprite and draw the text at certain colors or fonts. With the text box being invisible. That way you don't have the "I do not understand: bookk" garbage. Instead you find out as you type.

That would be cool, but is it doable with AGS?

As for the source code, you can examine it within AGS editor by choosing "module scripts" from the script menu than choosing "Edit Automated Parser Module script."

If you're interested I made a module to add text parser functionality to point and click games. You can download it from:
http://duals.agser.me/Modules/Automated_Text_Parser_v2.0.rar
Personally I like the extra options the text parse provides. Though you may want to consider a VERB or VOCAB command that lists the various words the parser would accept as valid input.

[must]

Personally I prefer not to have the voice acting, Mainly because I am quite a miser with my hard drive space and feel that digitized voice over inflates a games size, though I have nothing against making them available as a separate download. However if you do have digitized voice then you must also have an option to display captions. That was a major problem with the games "return to zork" and Myst. If you were a deaf player the games could be unwinable since some of the puzzles were dependent on sound.

[really]

.... I am sure that Roberta made Lillian the killer because she was
the least likely suspect (other than the pets, of course.) ....

If she wanted to really have a suspect the player would never suspect she would have made Laura Bow the killer!

That's part of the problem with "South Park" in my opinion. It's like the writers are just trying to be provocative rather then actually being funny.

Master of Puppets is quite possibly the greatest album of all time if not the greatest metal album in my honest opinion, but definitely the best Metallica album. It's a shame that Cliff died though, most of the stuff from the 90's was mediocre at best. I've heard some of the songs off "Death Magnetic" and thought they were OK. Personally I prefer mostly 80s metal and thrash. Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Exodus, Def Leppard (am I misspelling that right?), Dio, Ozzy Osbourne. Also like System of a Down and got some Nirvana MP3s and had two Creed songs but I removed them in hopes of finding better quality versions.

So is there only the one ending? Or is there a secret ending as well?

I do not understand how it would differ if you extracted the resources or someone else did it for you. Anyway, if it helps, try this: http://adventurestockpile.com/SCUMM/

If his actions resulted in somebody else going to jail or getting sued he would feel bad.
Thanks for the SCUMM link though.

Remember when Rush Limbaugh said: "Lord's Resistance Army are Christians. They are fighting the Muslims in Sudan. And Obama has sent troops, United States troops to remove them from the battlefield, which means kill them."?

The kidnapping of children to use as soldiers or prostitutes is inexcusable, fighting against children enemies is something no soldier should have to face. What would be the best solution to rescue these children and free them from this horror?

What about games that are based on other licensed franchises that aren't originally games? IE Somebody makes a game about "Gilligan's Island" Or McGuyver or Lost or Futurama or other popular shows, movies, cartoons? Has anybody compiled a list of those?

The hand your character wields his sword is dependent on the direction he is facing, if he faces the opposite direction the sword is wielded with the other hand (many side scrollers).

Well, after a major data loss and what we thought might be the end of this game,
We've managed to find a backup copy and have been working diligently to manually recover as much of the data from the corrupted copy and I believe the release to be stable enough to continue with the project after all.

The client is now available and the server is online!

Thanks everyone for your patience and support!

Do you still have the latest executables from before the crash? CJ might be able to reverse compile them possibly.

Looking at the screenshot at:

will the players be able to give all their items away to the teacher? If so will there be any way to get items back from her if they are needed for something else? Maybe have her reject items that are needed elsewhere, "You better keep that, you never know when you might need a..."

Hopefully somebody will rip the sprites from these. Then we can make our own Scooby Doo game!
