Hi..  Problem with dialog options off

The below works but with a slight problem.

With 2 options left it does not 'return' but goes straight to option 4.

Hi

if you read the help manual in AGS you will find most of what you need in terms of how to script to enable you to make a basic word game like how to make objects visible/invisible, clicking on objects/hotspots etc etc

Good luck

It would take a very experienced AGS scripter to implement a decent word type game although a simple game is possible.

With hard work you could do something, but your efforts may prove fruitless and time consuming for you at this stage.

Once you've got enough AGS knowledge and scripting then it could be something you could work towards.

I'd say Derek is still in space.

Is this going to be a pure adventure game or partially a shooter?

Its basically a find and kill adventure with a few simplistic things to do before you can kill each human eating alien.  

Finally, try and take over their spacecraft!

Loosely based on the film.

Not really Dualnames.

Dels do not hide... So: You are Del and Dels do not hide.

As in:

I'm a Derek,and Dereks don't run -  from the film

Point taken though  

Derek is the so-called person in the original film version..

Iv'e used Del which is what you normally call a Derek.

Hi Gamers  (updated Sept 27th)

I am in production of "Very Bad Taste: Dels don't hide." (Parody of the near same title.)

You are out walking very early one morning when suddenly you see a house flying in the sky! (It's really an alien ship!)

The 'house' lands and you overhear a plot to collect all humans: for eating!

The alien boss Lord Grit owns an intergalactic restaurant chain that is the envy of the cosmos.

Lord Grit has found the taste sensation that is pulling in clients everywhere: Humans!

"I expect you're wondering what you're doing soaking in Ron's eleven secret herbs and spices?
Later we're having *you* for breakfast!"

Del is a have-a-go hero who likes the odd bit of skunk!

You are Del and Dels don't hide!

Can you thwart the aliens plan to harvest the earth of humans?

NB: there may be some adjustments to below images.

Del spots the aliens landing (a flying house!):


The police won't listen:


An alien breaks in and attacks an old man:


Del spots an alien dragging a victim!

Some of the games here have beautiful graphics and I have tried to produce acceptable graphics though I'm no artist  

Looking for testers.

When you import ready-made characters into AGS they are in chr / cha format.

These formats hold character information such as views of the character etc.

If making a new character you have to make a character with views with a paint program first and png is a great format to save them as. Simply import into AGS.

Once you have done this you may then save them as a single cha /chr file for future use.

On the off chance ( I have never used win 7) you could check out windows msconfig (use run) and disable any unwanted programs that run at start up to give you more memory.

just a thought though it's probably something else.
