PRESENTING..



Forget Holmes.

Forget Poirot.

And forget that Davenport character in Slasher's game.

Detective Daniel Wilkins is the man for the job!

   

   



Based on the original 1983 text-based "whodunit" game of the same title, this is my version, only with prettier graphics, and some adventure game elements.

I dabbled with this game over a decade ago with AGS 2.07. And now it's time to revive this RAM Ghost!

For now, however, the game will have to go on the back burner since another project will take priority - the birth of my daughter - due towards the end of this month!

Game is currently on middle burner and bubbling with potential.

Just jumping on the bogan bandwagon..

A pic of me and my bogan mate down at the block (Venus Bay, Vic)



The photo was taken a few years ago. The council said the caravan was an eyesore so my bogan uncle erected a corrugated iron cover over it. How bogan is that!
I'm the unfashinaoble bogan on the right btw

Hey mate,

Here you go..

Spoiler

You start in the top left square and need to follow that red line to the end.

Don't go through doors marked with an X because that will send you back to the start.

Cheers!

And if you're still fucking confused, try this..

Spoiler

(left door = 1, central door = 2, right door = 3)

starting from first room with 'exit' sign..

2, 3, 2, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 3, 2, 2, 1, 3, 3, 2, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1, 1, 2

Yes this part's a bitch, but keep trying those doors. Draw a map if it helps. I can upload a walkthrough map if you're completely stuck!

Ok, here's the combination..

No worries!

Here's some more detail on the control sliders to help..

Let me know if you're still stuck!

The guy in Wong's Cafe is telling you what to do in Chinese. So, you need to learn how to read Chinese! (Don't feel bad, my Chinese is pretty poor too because I spend too much time making frivolous games rather than studying). On the other hand, if learning Chinese is not convenient..

Like with a DVD in a foreign language, turn on the subtitles.

G'day folks.

Chalkman was released earlier this year without a smidgen of promotion.

I've now made the long anticipated promo.

Just pretend we're back in 2012..

SCREENSHOTS



The game is described on the download page if you dare to read it.

Chalkman is somewhat similar to Shitty Quest, but more long-winded and hard-core puzzle focused. The project stated out as a shitty sort of experimental game, but then evolved into something more. The game's antagonist is someone trying to erase the crudely drawn 'chalk world' and replace with something.. well, less shitty.

Note that the game is actually a bit longer than suggested by its current 'medium length' categorisation. If you can complete this game in 1 hour, you'll win a free Chalkman coffee mug.



Mug also comes in blue.

The file "Chalk Demo" is a simplified version of my game with just two rooms (room5 and room10).
To help with the diagnosis, I've included shortcut keys:

1 - SaveGameSlot(1, "demo save")
2 - alternative save game method
3 - RestoreGameSlot(1)

If you alternate between pressing 1 and 3 it will produce the error (just in room5, not room10).

Ok. I'll prepare some files. How do you want me to share them?

Dear Crimson Wizard et al.
Thanks for your reply.
The error is case#2 - no changes were made to the game. I just save and then load and then get the error. So it is incorrect behavior.
I'm using version v3.2.1 of AGS

Howdy y'all!
Just wanted to share some knowledge of a bug I recently fixed in my game.
I'm not sure how common the problem is, but if you come across it hopefully you'll find this post useful.

Bug - get this error: "game has been modified since save. unable to restore game. (GM01)" when trying to restore a saved game from certain rooms.

Solution - fixed problem by doing the following steps prior to creating the save-game file:

After user clicks on the save game button..

1. use ChangeRoom function (i.e. change room to current room, so character stays in that room)
2. set a trigger variable (e.g. bool save_game = 1) to continue code in global repeatedly_execute()
3. in global repeatedly_execute(), continue with SaveGameSlot function

Now the save-game file will restore without producing the error.

Not sure why this works, but it does!
