I'd be very intrigued to see this game, if it's done well.

Hi everyone! (Particularly Edmundo and Dave.)

I haven't been here in a while, and I don't really have all that much to add to this, but yeah. I'm all for more generalised adventure game dev communities. These days, I'm using WME for most of my projects, even though I find myself never really visiting their forums. It's just the way I work, I guess; I don't tend need help from a community in terms of figuring out how to code something in a game engine, preferring instead to work with documentation that's already there. Invariably, this means I barely have anything to talk about on engine-specific forums these days, sort of just showing up when I have a game to release and that sort of thing.

Instead, what I like having the community for is to talk about design-related issues and ideas. There's a little bit of that kind of thing going on at AG and AD (both of which I'm motivated to frequent because I'm part of the staff there), and I discuss the kinds of things that interest me over at my blog, but I would love to see more of it, more frequently. Sometimes, there'll be something I feel compelled to read and very occasionally respond to over here on the AGS forums. And I used to do so a lot about two years ago; remember that whole fiasco with The Forgotten Element? But lately, I'm not particularly aware that there's been anything of note to discuss, other than seeing what games people are actually making. And there are so many of them here that I don't really know which ones I should bother playing.

Anyway, I'm not really sure what kind of point I'm trying to make, other than yes, I still exist, and yes, I'd love to talk to anyone about game design, no matter what engine they choose to use.

I haven't been here in a while, but reading this thread has been quite an amusing diversion for me. Helm's posts in particular.

He points out that the most successful games (World of Warcraft, Sims, etc ) actually are not all that "fun" when you examine people working 60 hours to collect minerals just to make their armor etc.Ã,  (even games like GTA have very tedious goals that reward the player)Ã,  People play video games due to built in reward systems in the human brain.

Sadly, I can never get into those kinds of games. Does that mean my brain is rotting?

My name is in the credits. I have you all beat.

Richard Longhurst, of course! Definitely the best dresser in any AGS game I've played.

And, just to make it my RL&BAT favouritism less blatantly obvious, Alexander Zale.

Breasts have a bad rep on this forum...apparently.

Nah, they only have a bad rep with me.

It must be just your browser, works fine for me (in IE and FireFox).

It works in Opera too. That covers all the bases...

...she is a bit idealized in her proportions (as is the male character we'll be releasing soon)...

Does he have a large package?

Oh, you know it, Helm!

Maybe you ought to give a same-sex relationship a try, then.

But I relate to members of the same sex all the time in my day-to-day life!

Lucky you. I wish I could recover from shit that quickly...

When I say man-looking women I mean lesbian women delibarately dressing themselves as men, cutting their hair short and ... yeah, slightly butch too. Not talking about butch women dressing as womenÃ, 

Huh? What do you mean, dressing as men? Like, wearing pants and stuff? And what's wrong with women having short hair?

If the penis is so ugly, why hasn't it evolved to be as attractive as breasts?

Because evolution is sexist.

[not]

Yes, but hot lesbians are. It should be noted that lesbians are only hot when not looking like those man-looking women.Ã,  :o

I think butch women are cute.

What's up with her proportions? Bleargh.

Oh no, not this again...

Captain Mostly.

And remember: all girls think the same!

PS: no IE for me , what so ever!!

What about Opera?
