Miles, my imaginary friend, asked me to draw a picture of him. Just kidding. I really have to take a crap right now and I don't know why I said anything that I've said thus far. Here's the deal, I'm looking for some critiquing on my art. Here's original art by me:

(I know the bed is an Insta-Game product, but other than that the bedroom is original.)

And, painted sprites that need work:

EDIT: Sorry, sometimes I'm a bit psychotic. No idea why I would write that kind of thing here...

Ok... Here's the idea for the intro:

Miles is a frequenter of Fangames.co.uk. Upon LucasArts announcing the
cancelation of Sam And Max 2, Miles is enraged, and sets out to find out
what the crap is wrong with LucasArts. When he reaches the LucasArts
headquaters in California, he finds nothing but a small room with a computer
programmer working on the LucasArts website. As Miles travels the country
looking for the REAL LucasArts headquarters, he learns how corrupt the company
has become of late. At the end of the game, Miles finds the REAL LucasArts
headquarters. Inside he discovers that LucasArts had been taken over by a
money hungry man who locked George Lucas and Ron Gilbert in a chamber deep
below ground back in 1996.


I'll probably change it some before I get around to making the final version of the game. I have three sprites (front, back, and side views):



The original concept for Miles.



Miles - Front View.



Miles - Side View.



Miles - Back View.

EDIT: This entire post has been changed. The storyline has changed. The links have changed. The image files have changed. Any following posts may possibly respond to information which has been deleted or changed. Michael Rittenhouse

Also, if you are having trouble viewing the images, you can try highlighting the page. I am not sure about these forums, but on my webpage for the game (http://www.meleepta.us.tf/game002.html), I often have problems viewing the images. However, once the page is done loading, if I highlight the area where the images are supposed to be, they appear. Like I said, I don't know why, but it works on my page. So, try it in the forums if you can't see the pictures, if that doesn't work, click the links I guess. Michael Rittenhouse

A little over a year ago I began work on a Monkey Island 5 fan-fiction story. Well, recently I decided to make it into a game. I finally have the intro worked out:

[intro]
Fade in...
Guybrush and LeChuck are in the middle of a round of insult swordfighting when you gain control. If you choose the correct comeback, you will win the fight. At this point, you will drop swords, and LeChuck will punch you in the face. Else, should you get the comeback wrong, LeChuck will win, and you will take a step back. Straight off the cliff. After a loud crashing sound, Elaine rushes to the cliff side and yells "Guybrush!"
Fade out...
Fade in...
Guybrush is standing in the dry river bed on Monkey Island.
-"Where am I? And why does my head hurt?"

[/intro]

I did forget to mention, after LeChuck punches you, then you wake up in the riverbed. So yeah, it's a no win situation.

Great new plot, but how are you going to tie it in with the end of EMI?

Oh... I forgot that too. After the title screen, the whole game is a flashback leading up to the intro...

And well, I don't have any screens yet, well, most of them will be ripped from the first two Monkey Island games (The Secret and LeChuck's Revenge), but there will be some original artwork by Greg Wilkins. Hopefully. However, I do have some sprites:



They're not original sprites, but... Oh, and I'm also using Proskrito's MI2 Template.

For some reason, I can't get the quotes to work. I have the open quote tag, the quote, and the close quote tag. For some reason an open quote tag keeps showing up right before the close quote tag. I don't know what the crap is wrong with this computer...

For the hundredth time, I have deleted the quote. It will probably re-appear.

Is it possible to change the text speed (as in old style LucasArts games)??? Especially with + and -, as that's what they were set to in The Secret of Monkey Island. :D

Although I have the skiptype for my cutscene set to 1, mouse clicks end the cutscene.

Code: ags

// room script file


#sectionstart room_a  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
function room_a() {
  // script for room: Player enters screen (before fadein)
StartCutscene(1);
SetCharacterSpeechView(EGO, 6);
AnimateCharacter(EGO, 4, 4, 999);
SetCharacterSpeechView(EGO, 4);
EndCutscene(); 
  
}
#sectionend room_a  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE

Help?

sorry... I caught my mistake...
