I agree with ThreeOhFour. The game looks nice and feels satisfying, but I would appreciate it to have a goal like a finish line. Also, when I pressed Esc to see if there is a menu, the game crashed with this message:

Illegal exception

An exception 0xC0000005 occurred in ACWIN.EXE at EIP = 0x004D5015 ; program pointer is +379, ACI version 3.3.4.2, gtags (1,4)

AGS cannot continue, this exception was fatal. Please note down the numbers above, remember what you were doing at the time and post the details on the AGS Technical Forum.

@Chicky: Never heard of Keyshot and googles some pictures. It seems to produce really nice renders, but damn, is it expensive.

But yeah, you're right. While basic modelling can be quite easy to learn, UV unwrapping does not, and it needs a lot of practice and trial and error.

Nachtgestalten?

I don't use it for backgrounds, but I found Blender to be quite accessible, and there's tons of tutorials out there to get you covered.

Mortal Kombat?

Hey folks,

it's been some time since I made my last game (almost 10 years, in fact), but I've never given up the thought of making one again. In the last few weeks, I've gathered some ideas, but I figured it would be best to start small. Very small. So I did. I powered up the newest version of AGS and in the last two days I got huge parts of the "engine" done. You see, I always wanted my adventure to be top-down style (a la Richard and Alice or Darth's classic A Friend Indeed (and maybe many more)) and fully keyboard-controlled. I thought I would take ages to even getting the walking done, but as of now, I have a huge chunk of important functions already working, and I would appreciate you guys taking a look at it, telling me if you like the controls and the style and the feel this is going for.

Use cursors to walk, e and f to interact, TAB for inventory.
Stuff like combining items or using items on the surroundings (there is no instance of this yet, so no need to try) should be self-explanatory. I hope. Some responses to wrong combinations don't exist yet.

All you can do is walk around (with randomized footsteps and shuffles), talk to your frozen mom, pick up the coat hanger from the wardrobe and the shirt from the floor, combine the two, and look at stuff.

The dialog controls are not working properly yet, i. e. you can finish the dialog using the number keys, but when a dialog option gets turned off, the remaining options don't renumber themselves. Thus, even though dialog option 1 and 3 remain, you have to type 2 to select 3, since it's the second item on the list. Don't know how to fix this yet, but I'm on a vacation for a few days and can't work on it anyways.

As the main character sprite I've ripped Chrono from Chrono Trigger for this demo. I suck at animation. When/if there ever will be a new game from me, I will need someone to help me with that

cheers and thanks in advance!

Not THAT Room

Mandle got it. It's The Room.

You crack some kind of safe, but it's not Safecracker.

Is that Oxenfree?

Conan The Barbarian?

Iron Woman

It is indeed.

All the clues:

• Swedish director; made US films later
• Swedish film about a boarding school
• connection to the very first guess in this thread

If this won't resolve it, I don't know what will

Neat little program, but without a page or scroll function it has little use for me now.

I upgraded last year from Windows 7. It takes around 12 GB less disc space than 7, which I liked because of my small SSD on which it runs. The upgrade took about 3 hours total (including downloading), and then it just ran. And it still does. I've never had any problems with it, and I like the new GUI. I fucked up one time by accidentally installing some malware shit that I couldn't get rid of, and so I had to format my SSD and re-install Win 10 with a USB image, and it ran fine again. No problems with the authentication either.

We're looking for a film by a Swedish director. That should resolve this query

Better, but still off.

I don't think that's Tobey Maguire. More like Tobey Magström.
