I've only been using AGS for a month and a half and already my ability to make sprites and use the studio to make games has improved dramatically, and I had NO prior coding/sprite drawing experience.  Just read the beginners tutorials (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/acintro.htm) and get to work.

However, you may want to make a short, basic game before working on that project that you mentioned.  Like a game with only 3-5 rooms maybe.  You should pick it up quickly.

I've got the cutlass, telescope, shovel, map, mast with hook, long rope and incomplete rudder, how do I complete the rudder?

Anyone else entering still?

I just finished it, great game!

Spoiler

select the chopper pilot and interact the hole

OK, sorry about that, I didn't know.

Sorry, but with my lack of adventure game skill, I can't even get past the trap at the start, I just don't know what to do.

Yeah, it's really easy, plus it serves as a backup, so don't delete it from either.  I've been transfering my whole AGS file (pics+AGs) from one computer to another a lot the last few weeks, and have had no problems other than it taking up 90megs of my flash drive somehow...

OK, I've already got started on mine, most of the animations are done and I made a new interface the other day which I'm going to use.Ã,  It's currently going by the names {NAMES DELETED FOR REASONS OF SECRECY}, I can't decide yet.Ã,  Now I just need to fill in the story details and background image, which is posing some problems.

Free Donuts!

cool, thanks.  That's all I need... for now...

Ok, all the problems are fixed, apart from the animated smoke and the interaction thing, I seem to be uninspired at the moment...

I've made a gui in the guis section of ags to the size, ect. that I wanted it, and I want it to always be on the screen, but I don't know how.

Hurrah!Ã,  Finally someone else finishes!  But the download doesn't seem to be working...

Here's mine, in action nonetheless!

Okay, I played up until the the first chapter started. (I PM'ed you about the file thing)

I like the crazy world, and the main character looks different enough from any game character I can think of!

Here are my crits/suggestions:

1)The character's walk speed could do with being sped up slightly.
2)The Black cursor often makes it hard to make out where the cursor is sometimes and what action you are on.
3)There is a definite lack of interaction with the world. I hope you put in more things for Jirb to respond to.
4)Does Jirb need to be clickable? Unless there is a puzzle where you need to use items on Jirb it's annoying when he stands in front of things. (Can be said for any game with this feature)
5)He could really do with a walk down and walk up animation! Don't be lazy!
6)You should animate the smoke in that room.

I hope I don't sound too negative, I just want to help you make your game even better!

Yeh, I've heard a lot of those critisisms before for friends, ect.  With the walk speed, I'll get right on it as well as the down animation.
I'll get onto the interaction when I remake the opening a bit later.
The cursors will alos be changed asap, I might even just put a red dot where the cursor point is or something.

To describe the bug, basically there's a area that is taller that 320 pixels, and I forgot to move the top boundry down a little.  Other than that, it's fine as far as major bugs go (except that sometimes you jump from the first room straight to the third... oddly enough).

If anyone has played it, please tell me what you think.Ã,  Also, I found a problem in one of the rooms towards the end, making it impossible to actually finish the game.Ã,  There should be a patched version soon.

Also: STORY UPDATE!

After being kicked out of the mafia, Jirb continues on his quest to find mario.  Upon stumbling across a warehouse and discovering a top secret project, the army kidnap him and force him into their ranks.

Congrats!!! that really is one of the best sprites I've seen in terms of detail for a while.

I managed to fix that, but now I can't get it to appear on my screen.

I'm working on a short game at the moment and I wanted to make custom GUIs but in the gui section of ags there is nothing to work on.

How do i set the area for the GUI in the first place?

It takes a while, but this site is good.

I used it to upload my demo of the chronicals of the shoe.
