about the dead futurama game....

[turk187]

about 5 years ago there was an attempt at an AGS based Futurama game. I only just now fond out about it but was wondering if anyone had a copy of the demo, and if so, could they please post it, or email it to me? xander_drax@hotmail.com

Wow, has it been that long.  Yeah, October 2004. Jeez. Well, I happen to have a copy of that demo that I can upload.

Here you go: http://www.lucasstyle.com/games/FryscapeDemoV1.0.zip

Think I'll boot it up again and give the short demo another play-through, myself.

Too bad it never went anywhere.

...while we're at it, wasn't there some colossal Simpsons game upcoming back in '05?

I know Joseph Diperla was working on one a whiiiile back. I thought he had a lot of the characters and backgrounds finished, but I don't know. The demo can be found here.

[Joseph DiPerla]

Yes, there were two games I was working on. 1) Springfield Woes --  A large project and a second one which was "Where's Maggie?" which was a sort of Maniac Mansion thing where you were basically just confined to the house trying to get Maggie out of her room.


The demo to "where's maggie" is here: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=24863.0

Then I have a large Simpsons Game Template which has something like 7 characters, several inventory items. I planned on having only the Simpsons family as the main characters, so I have fully functional character GUI's for each of them and just other GUI's in general such as save/load/quit and other stuff. I even have a map of springfield GUI for travel. It also has about 40 rooms in it that have hotspots and walkable area's and such all done. It even includes Simpsons Font!!!! Find it here:

If anyone feels like fixing the sprite issue (Characters were to big, so I had to scale the walkable area's) and if anyone feels like updating it to work with AGS 3.0, I will definitly continue this again. I have other rooms to add to it. I just lost interest when I saw that AGS 3.0 no longer supported it and I really like the features it has. So take a wack at it if you would like. IT might work with AGS 2.72, who knows.

Thanks for Asking! And please, feel free to make games off of my template. Just give me credit...

Well, compile it as a template under 2.72 and 3.0 will recognise it.

[Joseph DiPerla]

Yeah, I think I will do that. If anyone feels like helping out in expanding the template further, please let me know. Or if you think there are some improvements that can be made, let me know.

[Joseph DiPerla]

OK, try this link here: http://www.energon-plant.com/simptemp2.rar

It should be an updated template file there that will load in AGS 3.0, but may not run since the scripting needs to be changed.

Just to clarify, the template has 42 rooms which include the simpsons home, mr burns office and the powerplant, The school. Moe's Tavern, the Kwik-e-mart, Flanders house, Alien ship, Noiseland arcade, Abe simpsons room, springfield cemetary and Krusty lu studio's.

Characters: Marge, Homer, Bart, Lisa, Maggie, Kudos, Kang, Principal Skinner, Mr. Burns, Smithers, Krusty and Nelson.

Inventory items: 7
GUI's: Dialog, Inventory, Marge/Homer/Lisa/Barts OWN INDIVIDUAL GUI's (Verb coin style), save game gui, skip intro gui, text parser gui for cheats, over hotspot gui,  And some GUI's used as Sub-rooms for when looking at a desk etc...

Some custom cursors are also included and a simpsons font is in there as well.

All-in all. Everyone should have plenty of material to build a full blown game.

Some scripting needs adjustment though... I will work on that eventually and I will fix the sprite sizes as well, unless someone wants to go ahead.

ENJOY!!!
