Game announcements / Re: Our Main Actor

« on: July 30, 2004, 10:59:53 AM »

you'r not so wrong at all.

but we (the development team) have to dissociate from that.

I can't deny that this topic plays a major role in the game. But in a humoristic and funny way. We don't want to abent someone.

It's unavoidable that "consuming people" (we are not one of them) play the game and misinterpret the intension.

 It's just a funny litte Game with funny little stoned people on a funny litte  island. After creating the main actor we have to serve this cliche.

I don't  know how to skate on this thin ice. But I know that we see that thing from the right and not from the wrong side.

I would be nice if someone of you gives his opinion about that.

Game announcements / Our Main Actor

« on: July 29, 2004, 11:16:57 AM »

Hi all,

if anybody is interrested in that information. The exams of this semester are over now and we are continuing speech recording. In germany we say: "gut ding will weile haben". Maybe anybody knows the similar proverb in english. It meens that good things need a lot of time to grow.
 
I hope it will be good at the end.

Here's a picture of our main Actor for you.


Hope you like it.

General Discussion / speech recording or "how I got insane"

« on: June 18, 2004, 08:36:30 PM »

Hi Guys! (are any girls here?)

since a couple of weeks im working at the dubbings of my game. I decide to speak the main actor, because if you take someone else u always have these "no, today I haven't time, but maybe next week" problem.

At first you are sitting there and trying to talk like someone else. After a week my actor talked with 5 different voices, but not one was good enough. It always sounded like me talking like a butthead in a microphone.

Now, I finally decided to give him my normal voice. everyone knows the "I hate me on video" effect? It's the same just harder if a main actor in a game speaks with our voice!

no, im running in project man. but the project is not in the projects folder of wme dev. very strange, I thougt wme uses the log files in the projects folder. I try to copy it in this folder. maybe it writes the logs then.

yes,non accelerated mode works,but the mouse ist not smoth enought, it just jumps over the monitor, when im moving it. (stand still,then jump...)

i've searched for the log, but the log in the project folder is empty, and after runnig the game is already empty.

I installt wme too, and even in the preview in project manager the bugs appear. gifs and pngs are repeadet half at the right side or at the bottom. teh standart fonts *green* is displayed wrong. the alwas repeat the same characters. like :"pre aiid not ailable" (who's knows what this mean , little quiz)

in teh game ist really funny because backgrounds reapeating theleft corner on teh right, and some areas are not shown at all.

if you need more info just post.

yes. that sounds good.  

After searching a lot I have decided to host on my one space. And if there's a possibility that some WME users could host it to, it would be nice.

In the moment im working on the translation and then we have to record the speech.

I think in a month it will be released.  

Then i'm sending you a PM if it's ok.

Does anybody know a webspace where I can host my demo?

We have our own webspace for the website, but I don't want to have that traffic, if it isn't nessesary.

« on: April 13, 2004, 07:44:59 PM »

  Ahhh, jear. That's the fault!

I think the Inventroy hasn't be redesigned. The actual number of Items is not to be exceeded.

While developing I use a cheat to get all Items  (it will be removed in the final version  ) and then I got a lot of Items that wouldn't exist because of resulting by using two items together. If the doubleclick would be a normal, all would be fine!

Back to the problem.
Where can I script these Events for the buttons?

I'm asking because I can't find some scripting for the inventory anywere.
