The Game That Takes Place on a Cruise Ship

[The Inquisitive Stranger]

Hello, everybody. You may all be pleased (or terrified) to know that I've finally released my latest 2D adventure game, The Game That Takes Place on a Cruise Ship. Although I didn't make it in AGS because I'm a horrible heathen, I think many of you will find it worth downloading and playing, especially if you're a fan of any of my other work (i.e. Cubert Badbone). And even if you aren't, well, play it anyway. You know you want to.

[Steel Drummer]

cool. is this a lucasarts type game?

[The Inquisitive Stranger]

Yeah, at least interface-wise.

[edmundito]

I demand that this game and other adventure tool-created games should be allowed to be put in the completed game announcements forum if it was made by a forum member.

And now, I shall download and play the game.

[Gilbert]

No, I think it's fine here.

[ildu]

Wouldn't it be a nice compromise if games made with other engines were allowed in the Completed Games forum, but strictly prohibited in the In Production forum? To make it more fair to the opposition, each announcement for another engine's game would need to have it written on the topic name or state it at the top of the thread or something.

[Helm]

I don't see how this would benefit from being in the Completed Games forum instead of here. I don't even see OS Squinky asking for this.

[edmundito]

I don't even see OS Squinky asking for this.

She doesn't have to. Just look at the the squint in her eyes, like she's holding something back, and don't forget her signature: Actually, I HAVE worked on a couple of finished games. They just weren't made in AGS. like she feels like she's being treated like a lesser being.

... and don't forget, Squinky stole her name!

[Helm]

like she feels like she's being treated like a lesser being.

Don't say such things in the place of other people. If she DOES feel so, that's her own problem, nobody here has treated her like this.

[edmundito]

Helm! I was just merely exaggerating with that reply, and I thought it was easy to tell by the ridiculous description I wrote about the picture of Maureen that she uses as the avatar and the whole squinky stole her name bit.

I actually don't think it's a HUGE deal, but I think that the rules could be bent for regulars of this forum who don't make games with AGS or AGSers who made a game without AGS.

[Andail]

Let's not make a deal of all this and not demand that the forums are used for things that they aren't meant for.

So, either comment on this game per see or not at all, thank you.

[m0ds]

Yes. Lets talk about her game.

Squinky, I haven't yet played it but I will - it looks great! And it's good to see its style and also the style of the webpage keeps up your nifty Cubert Badbone look

[The Inquisitive Stranger]

Well, way back in 2002, when I announced Cubert Badbone on the AGS forums, I remember there being similar confusion pertaining to whether I should have posted in a different forum. (I think they were structured somewhat differently from now, though.) Oh well. As long as my game gets played and hopefully enjoyed, I'll be satisfied.

Im enjoying you game, and so far so good.....but are there any dead ends ? Because i seem to be stuck in

Spoiler

The captains room hiding under the desk. I have the scissors the book, the food machine, the plank of wood, the sleeping pills...?

[The Inquisitive Stranger]

There are no dead ends.

Spoiler

Try doing something to the table you're hiding under.

Is there by any chance a walkthrough anywhere, because ive got quite far (i think,) but just seem to be walking round in circles now not knowing what to do....

Spoiler

I have scissors, clothes, transformed food, sleeping pills, dagger, glasses, plank, shampoo, poets poem, hoover etc, ive done the compter game and joined the 'club', got the trumpet player to play, found out about talent contest but seem to be walking around now, not knowing what to do ? Is there something i can do in the disco to progress?

[The Inquisitive Stranger]

There's a walkthrough, but it's incomplete, and doesn't yet cover the particular path you've chosen...

Spoiler

Go back to the Spit Valve and see if you can get the Circle Worshippers to help you. Making them think you're their Messiah might help.

[scourge]

I am gonna download and try the graphics looks cool! Thanks stranger.

OFf-topic: How about a thread for games from other engines, i geuss this has been turned down before and discussed.

[flocking]

Thats what ive been trying to do....

Spoiler

Ive got the trumpet man to play, but dont know what else to do. They want a desert - but cant change any other food from room service, and if order 'sludge' i eat it before i can interact with it. A hint please ?

Spoiler

You don't just need any dessert, you need the SACRED dessert. In other words, you gotta go somewhere much fancier than room service or the SLUDGE Bar to get what you need...
