Hello. I'm working on a Phoenix Wrong Animation and I'm drawing up custom sprites for the game. Here is the first one I've done. Please tell me how I could improve this. I've traced the normal size sprite of Winston Payne to create this closeup sprite, the colors were also taken from the sprite. I tried my best to make it look close to the style the game has. Phoenix Wright has yet to show a close up of Winston Payne but all other lawywers in the game have one. I think it's a travesty. Here it is:

In the movie the sprite will be twice the size so here it is larger:

How does it look?

I'm embarassed to say I've made a mistake submitting a game, I've gotten the Color Depth Incorrect, but it won't let me correct it. It keeps saying "Invalid Password." I didn't put a password in the password choice, but it won't let me edit the page. I tried my forum's password but that doesn't work. What can I do?

I've noticed this thread and I've decided to post. Forgive me but I didn't really want to read all 17 pages of this, I am a poor reader, but I will post what I believe in or what I've heard. Forgive me if i say the wrong thing or put things out of context, I won't say that I'm greatly knowlegable with this, and if you prefer, you could just say I'm a rambling fool (I personally consider myself one).

There are a few problems i find with religion. Some are selfish, some are hypocritic, some are extremists. At one point every religion has displayed these problems in history, If you feel that I'm exaggerating please feel free to argue your point.

I used to be in the Christian Faith but I was driven away by hypocrisy other Christians have, but I won't lie, I myself live with hypocrisy and continue living with this. I've noticed Christians always talk about being persecuted, and how they are treated, but then persecute the other religions. I won't say all Christians do this, I would say the extreme Christians would. Christians like to say they believe in this that they do this, but they don't live like that. Christians lack the tollerance that they wish they would be given. Again I will say not all Christians are like this, but from my point of view, most Christians I know are like this. People could say they are religious but not give a damn about other people outside their religion, even I have been kicked when I was down by Christians (metaphorically of course). And this is why I no longer believe in Christianity, but I won't say I hate Christians, I would say many are misinformed or are mislead. I myself have a few Christian friends who I would personally say are Christians in the truest sence.

One of the advantages of being an atheist, is that there needn't be any moral weight placed upon spreading the non-Gospel, or declaring atheism's superiority.

This is not necessarily true.  Athiest groups have tried to show their superiority, I remember about a year ago, or atleast half a year ago an Athiest group tried to have crosses removed that honored troopers who were killed in the line of duty. News Link And I've heard of reports that Atheist Groups want crosses removed from cemetaries.  I won't say all Athiests are like this, that would be a gross exaggeration, I have plenty of Athiest friends who don't care either way.

As I said in my opening statement there are selfish, hypocritical, extremely crazy religions out there and all religions have become this at one point, but that statement is a bit of a lie, atleast depending on your religious belief. Supposedly the Pharisees of the Jewish religion ploted the death of Jesus, the Christians had the Spanish Inquisition, The Muslims had the suicide bombers and terrorist attacks, correct? No. Sadly I fear most people believe that, that all other religions are plotting to kill them and force us to believe in their ways. Only a hand ful of these people (atleast in comparison of the total ammount of believers), the extremists, have harmed people for their religion. Everyone who believes in these religions are peaceful and could live together in harmony or close to it, but the extremists make us fear everyone.

Saying "the terrorists are Muslim" is not the same as "the Muslims are terrorists", but people treat them that way. Remember when we first had the terroist attack at 9-11? I heard a Muslim boy was brutally killed in school within the following week. Why? Because he was Muslim. This isn't fair. I won't say I know alot about the Muslim religion, but I'm very sure that they would like nothing less than peace with the world.

There is one more problem I find with religion. Many people find it hard to defend their religion without brutal force, whether physical or verbal. I'm sure if you challenge a Christian's belief instead of arguing their point, they would argue. Some may even go as far as saying "I'm right, you're wrong, you're going to hell." and then end the discussion. This has happened to me once, but I have to admit that I started the debate in a mean way, "Did you know the bible has 2 contradictory creation stories?" I know that was mean to attack the first book, the first chapter of the Bible, but if you can't defend the "corner stone" of your religion why believe in it. This is a problem I have with religion, they can't defend their beliefs if their beliefs aren't strong enough. But, I do tend to be a cruel person at times. I'm sure people would find me wrong to challenge someone's religion but, someone has to test them, to tug at their belief, and see if they could prove me wrong. If enough people could, perhaps I could believe in Christianity again.

I'm not trying to say believe in what I believe. I'm not saying religions are evil. But I will say this no matter what you believe in, you have to know there are people who are bigots in these religions that cannot tollerate other religions. And I ask you, whoever you are, whatever you believe in, whatever you do, don't become like that. Our world has enough prejudice without religious influence, we don't need a World Wide Holy War to see who's religion reigns supreme.

I created the game "Halloween Horror" last year for MAGS, it has some glitches and stuff but what do you think of it? Should I create a new delux version of it, or just fix up the mistakes that were in it. If I make a delux version there would be more puzzles more rooms and more people that needs to be saved, If you think I should make a Delux version what should be changed from the original? If you haven't played, the link to the game's description is here:
Halloween Horror

I'm not asking you to Critique my game, so this thread doesn't belong in the Critics Lounge.

I've reworked on Roger and made him look much nicer. I started over on scratched and sketched him on paper first.
I've also finished one background for my game, it's the Bridge for the Goliath, I've used a screenshot within the game to create this. I've made some small mistakes when I made it, I've ended up drawing the picture smaller than 640x400 so i had to stretch it out when I limited the colors. I hope it still looks nice. Tell me what you think or if I should work more on the pictures. Background has 50 colors in it, I could reduce it if need be.

A few more questions then I think I can go on with the game alone. Since Roger is the most important character in the game I don't want to ruin him. When Roger isn't walking he will go into a pose (a short animation) where he makes a heroic pose, with his arms at his hips. He has his chest expanded to look more muscular. I've put a picture to compare roger's normal physique and roger standing in his pose. He will also be in this hero pose while talking.



My question is, is this going to far, or not far enough, should Roger be more full out while walking or would it be more like Roger to expand his chest to look more heroic? Also lately I've found a way to rip out sprites from my Space Quest games, Would people prefer my style or do you want the original sq5 style?

~Modified Post~
Right now... I'm begining to dislike this Roger, I may have to recreate from scratch. This is ok for a different game, but the more I look at it the less Space Questy it is.

Personally I can't think of many of the real Space Quest games in which Roger looks the same. The only one I can think of is Space Quest 4 and 5 but Roger's hair parts different in 5 than all the other Space Quest games, and he looks more heroic. In Space Quest 3 Roger doesn't look the same as in space quest 1 and 2, In 6 Roger's style has completely changed into a cartoon rather than the realistic actor traced sprites in 4 and 5. I think my version of Roger is ok, But I will have to make him look more like Roger in any close up views. but if you can notice Roger doesn't look the same in any close up view in all the games. The major difference would be between 4 and 5 where Roger's chin is more square in 5. It's sorta like they hire a new "actor" for every Space Quest game after 2. But anyway. I'm hoping the version of Roger I made is good enough that people wouldn't start saying "That looks wrong." The only real problem now is drawing Bea so she looks like Bea, in 4 and 5 Bea looks the same (just different hair styles). Although, I will admit my drawing style is different so I hope people will give me slack.

It's a flaw I have, when I draw a person I make them look unusually tall. I've edited the picture, made the legs shorter, and now the arms look long to me, although I check the proportions and they are realistic (enough) proportions. The head is big, but that is the way I draw, So I won't bother editing it because I personally like it. In every Space Quest game there are differences, uniforms change the way the character looks change, in space quest 6 the way Roger's hair is parted changes (and he looks very old). So my roger looks a bit younger. Roger still needs work though, I forgot eyebrows, the dark lines you see is just a highlight of where the brows should be. I hope my version of the uniform looks ok It's based on the 5th game's version. I think the only real problem is how i shaded him, his legs look far too muscular while his chest looks thin.
Changes: I made the legs shorter, I made the hair darker, and the contrast of the skin better. It still may need work.

I hope this is the right place to post:-\. I'm not the best game maker ever, When I'm tired with one project I start a new one, I've created a standard sprite sheet for myself to help me create this game. It will take place between 5 and 6 and will be called (Not so originally) Space Quest 5.5, a title hasn't been decided. This game will have alternate dimensions, a garbage stow and an eggbeater!
Here is a picture of Roger please give me feed back:

That doesn't work because If I get the cheatsheet and then rewind time to when the test begins I loose it. Also Drape is in the Potions Lab so I can't use the short cut Drape Isn't in the room before the exam, so If i rewind time I still loose the cheatsheet, and If i go in the room after the exam and rewind I loose the cheatsheet, the only thing I can do is find a way in during the exams.

At the first test Draco paralyzes me so i cannot get the cheatsheet until the second test is over, I can't use the spell to go back in time or else I will loose the firecracker.  Is there a way to stop Draco from blocking the path or paralyzing me?

This game isn't technically in production so I posted this in here since I'm still drawing sprites. I was thinking, Chobits is a cool anime, but there isn't an english videogame out for it. So I may make an AGS game for it. I'm aiming to finish it for christmas, so it won't be a big game, just a short cute game. I'm drawing sprites currently I only have 3 pictures done for it and no animations. The game will be about Chii finding out about Christmas and trying to buy Hideki a gift.
Here is a picture of the sprite:


Does this sound like a good game I should expand on?

I'm stuck. All i have left are the 3 key pieces, I've solved every possible puzzle, and now I'm out of ideas, there is no one left to talk to that can help me, If i need the dagger I could get a potato to trade it back with, or if i need the watering can, same thing, but I don't know what I need to do.

I'm sorry, I'm new at this and I really had to rush, that is a small glitch in the game, the screen is suppost to be black and I guess I've forgotten to click hide player.

I've came across some glitches would i be allowed to correct them if before the deadline?

what time is the deadline in central time zone i can't upload my game because my exceded bandwith currently ><;;

Here is my game:
Halloween Horror
I was able to fix all the glitches hopefully on time and now the final file is at filefront instead

I've worked hard on this game. It's the first AGS game I've made. It will be for the MAG October compitition.

The game stars some old and new cartoon favorites> It's more of a silly game rather than a serious or scary game, but I still followed the rules. The game starts out with Fred Fredburger who has won himself (supposedly) a mansion, but now he is locked in. What strange stuff can happen to him, and are there more people stuck in the house with him?

I'm posting the game here because I'm unable to post in the games section, I don't know why though.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think it is time for me to say this, the game has 4 different endings. I hope atleast one person has found the true ending.
