Happy May Eve from Keziah Mason and the gang!

Walpurgisnacht is upon us and evil spirits roam the night. So watch out, lock your doors and keep your candles burning!



Also, I'm back making the game full-time after a long work assignment. And this time I won't stop until the game is released!

[Congratulations to the winners and nominees!]

Congratulations to the winners and nominees!

It was my first time at the AGS Awards, and it was great! Really weird and fun event. A big thank you to all who made the ceremony possible!

Next year I will attend with my own dear Walter character!

wonderful news!! wishlisted!!!!

Thank you very much! And a nice looking vest by the way 

Finally! Wishlisted, can't wait!

Super, thanks! Yes, I kept postponing the all the publishing related stuff, so getting the Steam page up is a big mental victory already!

Ah, excellent.  Following the development has ben quite exciting so obviously I wish-listed it as well.  Good luck finishing up!

Thanks, really appreciate it!

That's the hardest part after all of the other hardest parts.

Well put! 

Well, I've been replaying the game for years now and yet still I'm waiting with bells on for the next test build to play all over again.

I NEED to play it again! I'm so addicted.

Are you Nyarlathotep infecting the world with this game to bring about the rise of the Great Old Ones?

I think you are.... Yes, you are.

Yes, your enthusiasm has been a great motivation and a signal that there's still things to do and try after several playthroughs!
As for the latter comment, I'm not allowed to reveal it yet. 

Looks amazing rongel, instantly wishlisted

Thanks Shaun, very nice to hear that! Also, Incantamentum has been on my wishlist for awhile now!

Wishlisted!

I'm very much looking forward to this game 

Thanks, great to hear that!

Anyway, this looks like a game with a huge replay value.

I hope so! It has definetely more replay value than a "classic", linear adventure game. I enjoy playing linear games, but wanted to try something a bit different here.

Wishlisted!

Super, thanks! 

I wonder if it won't be too scaaaaaarrrryyy (I get frightened easily and have played a few horror games, but have never been able to watch a horror movie), but I love the graphics. Good old low-res pixel art - it is so much better than all this 3D...
Maybe you could also add a hint book file to the game? It's really complex, and I would like to see all the different endings...

I don't think it's too scary, but that's of course a subjective thing...  I would say it's more atmospheric than scary.
Hopefully after its release there will be walkthroughs and guides. I do want that there's some challenge, so that players have motivation to try again to get a better ending. It's a delicate balance, and it's constantly changing.

[WISHLIST ON STEAM:]

Tell your friends, tell your family, the Steam page for Dreams in the Witch House is up!

WISHLIST ON STEAM: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1902850/Dreams_in_the_Witch_House/?beta=0



And as you can see, the name of the game is now "Dreams in the Witch House" like it always should have been.

The demo was great! I liked especially the setting, which felt original. I got the feeling that the authors of the game know what they are talking about.

Spoiler

The intro part where you were inside the movie and played as a character from it was fun! I hope there's more of that in the full game!

Wishlisted!

Thanks for the answer CW, that super fps counter might come in handy!

Answer this question: Do you really need it to be checked 40 time a sec?

Nope! I'll put it where my label is updated. Just curious to know what kind of impact things like these have on the gameplay.

Actually, now that I tried it again, I got it working! I didn't know I was on the right track, so thanks CW for making me check it again!

I have now this in my repeatedly_execute:

Code: ags

int width = GetTextWidth(lblDate.Text, eFontfntTiny);
btnWeather.X = width +10;

Seems to be working perfectly.

Now that we are here, I'd like to ask that is this wise to have in rep exec? Does it consume memory / resources if the game is constantly checking and adjusting this?

Hello!

I have a dynamic GUI label that shows various information, and the text and the text width will change during the gameplay. I would like to add a graphic symbol (a button) at the end of the label text. But because the text width varies, the symbol's X position should be adjusted as well. Otherwise there will be ugly overlapping or a too long gap. So how can I place the symbol directly at the end of the text?

I tried to use GetTextWidth command to count the characters from the label, but got nowhere. Is there a way to do this? Thanks! 

Merry Christmas dear AGS people, and a happy New Year! 

Congratulations on this milestone! I'm really looking forward to the game. I assume it won't be released this year though?

Thanks! Yes, the release will be (early?) next year. And I know I've said that before, but this time I really mean it! Hopefully all the heavy lifting will be done before Christmas holidays.

Wonderful news, I've been looking forward to this game since you announced it. Should you need a tester, I'm available.

Nice to hear that! And I keep you in mind if I need more testers!

Hello everyone!

The last dream world is ready! All the locations and mechanics are now finished and the game is fully playable from beginning to end.



Now all that's left to do is to finish the music and sound effects, play testing, bug fixing, general polishing, spell checking, finishing the animations, marketing, even more play testing and bug fixing etc. ...

I wouldn't know what to do if the site goes down! I know it's Halloween, but this is too scary!

This looks really great! Good luck with the production!

Is it a maze?

I wouldn't call it a maze (nobody seems to like mazes), more like a complex of rooms connected together. Nothing too big or overwhelming. But there is some randomness how the place is built in each gameplay.
