I find all of it amazing but the white parts of the cloud in the middle of the painting. It seems  like something concrete, is it intentional? I would expect something more "dreamy" and less defined. Apart from that, I like it.

You can't say "this is a lily drawed by dead artist 1 repainted by artist alive 1 and coloured by artist alive 2. It is not a children's drawing book. For music, you can, though. "This is a piece from dead composer 1, played by alive musician 1 and sang by alive singer 1" and change the alive artists' names at will.

Paintings can't be reproduced for real. By hand, I mean. This is why the original is so expensive. When the painter dies, all that remains is a canvas with a given life span. Music, I don't know. Theoretically, it can be reproduced. If what they say about different musicians giving different "feeling" to some music piece, then it can't be reproduced. But then we'd have to define a price for each guitarist, pianist, drummist, saxophonist etc etc, or for combination of player with singer and different singers etc.

Could drive art amateurs mad, if you ask me.

A piece of music is really unique when presented on stage. At a concert, at the theater, in an opera.  This experience is always more expensive than vinyl or CD, which brings some kind of balance.

As for copies, if people want to dedicate a lifetime's work to only one pair of ears or eyes for a large amount of money and the rest of the world knows this work by reputation only...then what can I say.

Fuck yeah!!! Mulder AND Scully For a moment there I thought it was going to star some bullshit agents from the later series...ROCK ON I'll be keeping my eye on this

I liked that sceptic one who worked with Scully when Mulder was thought to be dead (season 8? ). Sceptic, but up to the tasks the cases demanded.

When you say french speaking, you mean natives, I suppose.

No i mean what i wrote, no more  no less .

Oh, then I'm included
(reading and some writing, because, speaking, forget it!!  And that's because I have to use english all the time... )

If we're having French and German forums, why not Italian and Polish?

Or an Irish-speaking one. That would be funny...

So, you can see for yourself where it's headed... This forum being just the original, not the main one.

I still believe there should be one forum only, but the other ones are more like communities, I think, so I don't mind. It's like forums about Harry Potter (or whatever you choose). There's the official site and there's a million of relative webpages and forums.

When you say french speaking, you mean natives, I suppose.

But when two people want to know what the other person thinks, it' s done in the end...

Definitely.

I moved in Germany 8 months ago. I only knew 'hello' and numbers. I 've met germans who tried to use really poor english to help me, I 've met germans who double check if I got what they said in german because they "leider" (unfortunately)can't speak enlgish. I've made a mobile phone contract speaking french, I am guilty of delaying city trains for the driver wanted to help but could only speak german. I understand a bit italian and very little spanish. Clients at work keep teaching me the expressions I need. English, German, whatever...Did I mention I'm greek?

Should we be providing foreign language forums here to try and provide a more inclusive community?

I think it would be difficult to maintain, difficult to keep tidy and it's still a barrier. I agree there should be one community only, but as AGS fans exist all over the world, it makes sense to have their own place. They may even ignore teh very existence of this forum.

Iguess its a good beginning in every language to be able to say that, but  you forget the main sentence " I want a beer " (or whatever is your favorite drink) 

That's for the men, women should learn "No thanks, I've already had breakfast".

(I can read easily enough and I write quite well, but my spoken French gets rustier by the moment. )

Yeh but the chances that the world ending on a year 2000 on any given calendar are still pretty slim.

Tell me when the worlds ends and I'll fix the calendar 

When we publish a game, we are supposed to be mature enough to accept critics. We may treasure every bit of our game, but this doesn't mean anything. People have opinions. Opinions may be good or bad and we certainly asked for it.
Bad critics should be more welcome,  even if we usually don't follow the advice.

After the explosion, it takes me to the credits. How do I use the last key I found?

[Would anyone have any objections with merging the Adventure-related Chat forum into the General forum due to its low post count, or should they remain separate?]

Anyway, let me repeat this question:

I think it's better to keep it separate or it's going to get lost in the general threads and dry completely.

Thank you for the feedback, Ghost.
I'll have a look at

Footprint  is a bit more presentable now:
25/50 points (unless you make the wrong choices) and a couple of rooms.

Still working on views and dialogs.

I'm not sure that job chances are slim. Not at least in the UK.

It's my experience of people (of different qualifications) who went to the UK and came back within 18 months. I think it always depends on the job. Moving abroad with nothing to start is not always a wise move. The ones that I know and that are still living there arrived either as students or as stagiaire for a company. Or they had family there who helped them find a job or even hired them.

Then, again, if you just want to go abroad for the experience and you don't care if your job is worse and less well paid than the one you have now, you can just move and see what happens (which I wouldn't do).

Unemployement is harsh enough in one's own country, I wouldn't like to know what it means to be starving abroad.

That's why I said you have to have at least 3 months' salary plus tickets to start with.

It depends on what you want to do in the foreign country. Moving abroad for the sake of it is not a bright idea if you are under 65 years of age (in my  opinion).

I try to move abroad as well, but as I don't care about citizenship, I focus on employment chances, which seem to be slim, if you just go there and ask for a job, even with EU projects for job mobility (I'm in Greece). Not only in the UK but in EU in general.

You might want to find a job first and  worry about appartments and citizenship later. There are many international companies where it seems safe to apply to. I wouldn't abandon everything for a company that proves to be on the verge of bancruptsy or illegal or that they find out that they don't need a new employee after all.

Big, international companies may agree to hire you for a local position and then send you to their offices at the country you want to go (so you avoid possible employment obstacles in the UK) , but you have to work for them in the US for a while, I suppose.

There are are online services like your CV online of the EU official site (or similar british sites), but it's your responsibility to get a job.

If you still want to go there and work at McDonalds, as you said, I think you'd better start saving, for an average of 3-4 salaries plus travel and appropriate documents expenses will be really helpful, if you are not good at juggling fire on a monocycle or playing saxo at the London tube.

Nice game. Action and graphics felt like mohaa, which I liked.

If I had something big in mind and needed some practice and lots of publicity and the public's trust, I'd offer very important productions for free (both 0$ and copyright free), so important that many people might think it's crazy, but it would be of profit to me in the long term. Even if it was only for my CV or my brand's PR.

I don't think it will be completely free. I don't think it is really free now, either.

In my opinion some of it will be free but big projects will have strict copyright and a price. The free ones will be provided to people for quite 'selfish' reasons: improvement of bugs that might went unnoticed and, of course, advertising.

Like when you go to a restaurant every weekend for years and pay a lot and they decide to give you every time a bottle of wine for free, to keep you doing that.

PS. I was so right to pm! 

Hey, that thing about fanatic enviromentalists is addressed to me?

No, it is just a statement.
