1. Well there's the future plans text file with ags, the once that get completed first are the ones that lots of epople ask for or are easy  and the tracker has some of the bigger ones on it. http://www.agsforums.com/tracker.php, but really not even CJ knows exactly I would imagine.

2. Demo Quest is getting remade/extended by RickJ and others, including me.  He's just been busy with real life stuff lately.

3. It doesn't sound that difficult, very slow though..

No, but you get to read the thread ._.

Broken Sword.. I couldn't remember, looking at the screenshots it could be either.. it at least looks like the drawings were done on paper, not sure if the colouring is computer or not.

Mixnmojo has had a hacker attack recently, so a lot of it is still down.

I can't get linking to work in win 2000 either and mine are with dos paths.  Must just not work on NT windows ._.

my monkeys just wrote 'eep eep eep!' over and over

Geoffkhan, put http://invis.free.anonymizer.com/ in front of your urls, freewebs don't allow hotlinking (at least didn't for me) and that lest people get around it.

Hmm, I do high res high colour.. and I've never noticed the effect.. It's showing up because you have large areas of smooth subtle gradients.. and I don't ._.

You'll have to do that dithering I suppose.

why are the musicians so serious ._.

At least in the art threads you don't have to worry if you only know how to use the line tool and lens flare, you can still have a bit of fun.  Might look ugly to some but it gives everyone a chance, and when pessi posts his awesome pics with perfect light and shadow and texture people can go wow.. the nice thing is it caters for everyone.

Probably why so many people find it so hard to get into music..

This has been added? Yay, I should try the new versions faster..

Heh, I prefer Trap's music over most people's here..

it's not classical though so guess it isn't significant :|

I know, that's why I said ' the 'Compose some music inspired by a body part' one was good ._.'

I don't think there is.. but it'd be nice.  I plan to release all the characters I do for my adventure games.. like this MAGS one with CJ, Helm and AGA and Andail with animations.

It'd be nice for people who find doing characters hard.

You can go that far in comparing, its almost exactly the same.. similar technical rules could be applied to the blitz, I might understand them but I'd still have a problem since it only allows a few people to enter ._. not everyone is an art geek here so we have fun competitions allowing people to practice and learn at whatever level they are at.  And technical rules make little sense in the case of an adventure game music forum.. as Archangel said you compose music for a certain goal most of the time, in this forum that would usually be in making music for a scene in an adventure game.

'You can compose any style of music, but are limited to these instruments:
1. Electric Bass
2. Bassoon
3. Banjo
4. Qu Di (chinese flute)' is dissimilar to any situation you'd find when making an adventure game unless those were the only instruments you had access to and you were making any random bit of music first and then the backgrounds and story etc.

Better rules IMO would be something like:  

This is a scene from a fantasy style adventure game starring a magic moose: make some music to go along with it as he walks through the forest. (You could suggest, but not require some music theory or instruments that might suit the scene).

or if you want to get away from adventure games then the 'Compose some music inspired by a body part' one was good ._.

Just my opinion anyway, I know nothing of music theory..

This is a pretty basic feature question that would have easily been found in the help file.. jus for future reference that's the best place to look for things at first.

there's a script cammand called:

PlayVideo (string filename, int skip, int flags);

Plays an AVI or MPG file, or any other file type supported by Media Player.

And he won't even accept money from us He's a saint.

Me too, although I'm always busy so I can't guarantee I'll finish.. done 3 characters so far though

no! I want to camp on a building roof or in an alley.

But otherwise Florida or anywhre will do.

I hoped for NYC too ._.

It's closer

oh, well that might be hard, you see that wasn't really all animation it was scripted if I remember correctly..  I'm not sure what DS used for the animated parts.. but it wouldn't have been anything fancy.

You could have done all that in PSP.  (well DS could have )

Hmm limits again, as you might have noticed some people don't use traditional instruments in their compositions.. a theme would be better imo ._.
