You can have the technical screenshots now! 1010100010101010010110111111111111111010100 1010100010101010010110111111111111121010100 0011110101000000001111010100000010100100101 1100101010000010101010111111110101010001010 <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ferent.gif ALT=":|"> J/K... The screenshots will be pure graphics.

<img src="http://www.rev6.com/car3.png" style="border:0;"/> This image was a car driving down the road. I looked through my other screenshots and I found a black piece of debris flying through the air. I took it out, resized it and added it. Then I added the bright yellow ball to show where the asteroid would be. Then my sig.

The screenshots are ready! We will release the screenshots Christmas Eve when the website and demo are ready. The demo is done we are tweaking it. This is just to keep you updated out their on the web. The team right now consists of me and a few friends who I have worked with before; we are all local. If you want to contribute from the Net, e-mail me at benjamin@rev6.com . Trust me, you will KNOW when you are on the developement team. So far I have seen some interest here, but also fear of failure. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... smokin.gif ALT=":smokin"> We got some good feedback here on the Technology demo, re: our use of Inventory, scrolling screens and puzzle. Apart from the demo, we got feedback on character design, the background design, the artistic style of the project, your feelings on a remake and your desire to see a quality game. To address your concern, releases will get more restrictive! Time spent addressing non-existent problems (like the background image of the Technology demo) will be avoided this way. We'll use WinRAR to make a RAR file for the Christmas Demo (to restrict access to only those people who can figure out WinRAR), but the Alpha release will use Setup Factory (an Installer maker). Update: Colonel's Bequest Remake is a lot darker than the original. Also we are toying with a video intro so our 3D characters can get down and dirty. My personal experience with video at 640x400 means 320x200 video stretched to full-screen (higher than that and it lags too much especially if the game is every played off a CD-ROM drive). Update 2: A new character has been added to the game! The doberman! He will be wandering every 10th screen, so if you don't have the slab of beef he will attack you, unless you leave that screen right away. So much for scrolling screens. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"> Of course, we could dump the character... Update 3: Laura Bow in 3D looks like the Laura we know and love from the front (see Blackthornes example). The side view is being worked on now (her profile). She will be wearing a dress, and we have files ready with a lantern in her hand and the magnifying glass. We finished the bend animation (for when she bends over, squints and looks through 'the holes), and the dress is getting final touches. <img src="http://www.rev6.com/car3.png" style="border:0;"/>

Of course, we could dump the character... ----------------- You do know you are making a Laura Bow remake and not the next Clock Tower game right? (If you don't know what that is, do a web search) I thought the game was about trying to figure out who the killer is, and not fighting off some random monster that's not even apart of the story.

jodo don't forget to add bump mapping on surfaces and support for antialiasing.With 8 samples please. You said that your wife will be the model for Laura Bow. Having in mind the scene a la Hitchcock in the bathroom when you type : take bath A lot of people are going to see your wife in ...ahem ...her physical appearance. i have to ask you : ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THIS ? <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... tongue.gif ALT=":p">

Yeah we are sure. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ferent.gif ALT=":|"> OK, Erpy please close this thread. Stay tuned for our new thread Dec. 25. Jodo Kast

Would it be possible to just continue in this thread instead of starting a new one when you intend to bring the subject to our attention again? Keep in mind that these gamemaking forums are still part of our community, so if people start creating multiple threads for their project's sake, we'll have to ask them to create their own community to handle things through. <img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashu ...

Jodo Kast · #163 Post by **Jodo Kast** » Tue Dec 09, 2003 2:52 pm

Well... I took down one of my sites so I can put up the LB remake one. Plus other reasons. It might be easier to follow considering the demo is the demo and all. I want the new link to the demo separate from these old and not-working links. Either way... Jodo Kast

Jodo Kast · #164 Post by **Jodo Kast** » Tue Dec 09, 2003 2:53 pm

I'm here for feedback. I can go to the AGS forum for feedback on the demo. Let me know because it should be separate from these hijinks. If you don't know what hijinks I am referring to, try reading the thread again. It's a brainstorming thread and it's cool to read but I can't comment on it anymore. Jodo Kast

Jodo Kast · #165 Post by **Jodo Kast** » Thu Dec 11, 2003 9:14 am

This matches the forums now... The CGA guy -> <img src=http://users.domaindlx.com/broomie/cry.gif ALT=":cry"> ANYWAY.... LBCBR.com is available so we are trying to get that domain name. Finally, here is our master checklist. Just checking off each item. Of course we are programming the game using AGS, but this is what else we have to accomplish: - Domain name/website - Flowchart/Screenplay doc with (w) Script #'s X Script with Flowchart references (w #'s for AGS dialog) - Character Views w walking animations and talking animations - Special Action animations for characters - Inventory Items large (game) & small (inv) w get @/use@ - Background pictures - Background sprites (insects/gator/candles/newstuff) X Music - Sound Effects - Intro Video - Keyboard Walk (diagonal like original @ persp. angles) - Sound settings dialog box and custom GUI buttons X New Logo for Game - Cutscenes - Easter Eggs X Borders around dialog boxes - Clock Animation Anything I'm forgetting? Post here. Thanks. BTW anyone hear Black Christmas is being remade? I can't wait! Also this game could be released under any company name. Any suggestions? I like the sound of Blue Fugu.

Klytos · #167 Post by **Klytos** » Thu Dec 11, 2003 12:22 pm

Erpy, I thought I read somewhere on the old Tierra website that if another team were to build a remake which was up to the quality of the AGD's work, then Tierra would look into releasing it under their name. Isn't this the case anymore? Or am I remembering things that didn't really happen??? <div style="text-align:center">I woke up this morning, thought I'd have a nice relaxed day; do a bit of reading, brush the dog, it's now just after four in the afternoon and I'm already being thrown out of an alien spaceship five light years from the smoking remains of the Earth!</div>

Hehe... <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"> It's a closed community. Maybe we should start our own OPEN community called AGSWinter. We'll go with a snow facade, and at the same time try to convey a warm feeling. Adventure Game Studio Winter's mascot could be Winter from Star Wars. Of course I am biased and name all my mascots Star Wars names. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"> <- don't trust this dude. He's not your friend. Let's do something totally different (we want to give props to Tierra, but we don't need to copy them). How about a group called REMAKS? Pronounced remakes, this group would monitor ALL remakes... well except music. Anyone can record White Christmas, but it takes a master to remake a movie or a game. No offense. Not trying to offend you or anything here, but... Tierra Rules. Can we take the Tierra name? Is it available? Just curious cuz someone might try to (I personally don't want it).

Zeus · #171 Post by **Zeus** » Thu Dec 11, 2003 11:23 pm

Using --even former-- logo name of other company just does not sound right.And many people would think that you do that on purpose (you know what i mean). It would complicate things. Can't you imagine an original name?

Jodo Kast · #172 Post by **Jodo Kast** » Fri Dec 12, 2003 3:13 am

HAHAHA. I got you. Tierra is based on Sierra. They didn't think of a new name so why should we? It's a joke. Tierra isn't original! Well... Qierra would be original then huh. Apparently I phrased it wrong... nobody got it.

forgive me if i make a mistake, but i do not understand why you edited the post without adding or removing anything. Was that a technique in order to make your thread climb up in the forums so that noone will forget it and more people will se it? In that case, i find it very strange let me tell you.
