That image is pretty amazing, Fawful. Would enjoy playing an adventure game with imaginative backgrounds like this.

[punch999]

[FreeFreddy]

Looks like he hung himself on above the bed, a suicide... LOL

[Fawfulhasfury]

I know. LOL

[TheVoid]

My audition:
1760522630Miser2.WAV.txt (http://www.01files.com/download.php/1760522630Miser2.WAV.txt) LOL

Now I'm a dubber :w00t:

[Ioncannon]

[Sebatianos]

I used to be quite good with voces (me and a freind use to record jokes - and I did everything from deep serious preaching voices, to sounding like a talking rabbit - just let me know what you want)

[goblins]

looks like he has been invaded by the exorcists.

[Fawfulhasfury]

LOL LOL
the beta demo will be up shortly :ok:
watch and wait

[wendymaree]

Let me know if you need any female voices, Fawful :)

EDIT:
L O L! That was an awesome audition, Void :ok:

[Fawfulhasfury]

Yes. Skylark's(the bears gf). :D And any other girl he happens to run into along the way. He is a filanderer. :whistle:

[wendymaree]

Btw, what sort of soundtrack are you doing? Are you using pre-recorded music?

[Fawfulhasfury]

Somewhat. Need musicians though. Want someone to make a more gothic version of the peter gunn theme which you guys know as the theme for the treasure thieves. :D

[goblins]

it would seem already at a beta stage - thjis has moved quickly though in recent days the amount of activiity has dipped a bit but with the voiceovers and midi files coming in good progress.

Looking forward to being a beta tester and giving some feedback / ideas.

[Fawfulhasfury]

I meant a beta of the demo not the actual game. Once the demo beta is looked through, I will put up the actual demo. :ok:

[goblins]

oh coll the beta demo well still looking forward to giving it a whurl the first real program out of this discussion thread.

[Fawfulhasfury]

hey thanks. Still have some things to add and take care of. Give it a couple of weeks. BTW the demo will not contain any animated cutscenes where as the final version will. I also plan on trying to revert my style to something a bit better.

[goblins]

what would this change of style involve you doing ot the game ?

[Fawfulhasfury]

Make it more gothic. :ok:
This is a comedy-horror-action adventure.

[goblins]

oooh cool i love gothic themed games - bring it on.

[Fawfulhasfury]

If you like gory cutscenes, you'll enjoy this game. The monsters don't hold back.
:sneaky:

[Fawfulhasfury]

[goblins]

youre making solid progress good to see we have voice over people here contributing to.

[Havell]

What other characters are there and what kind of accents do you want for them? There should be a list of this somewhere...

[Fawfulhasfury]

Well, right now I'm recruiting for the main characters. BTW Part 6 has been changed to part 4. Thank you.
Part 1

Adam the lion cub. - regular voice
Leland the rat- need a fast talking deep voice
Skylark Polar - non-deep French accent
The moles - need slow voices.

BTW: That's why the child's voice still isn't up there. I'm working on it though.

Here's (http://www.abandonia.com/~sebatianos/voices/lolipop.wav) the kid!

[Fawfulhasfury]

Wow, seb. You did mess that one up. :blink: Thanks anyway, but punch wins that part. When is the chicken voice gonna be ready??? Also, have updated the voices list.

[Fawfulhasfury]

Had a go at doing Freddys voice myself. Here's the result. I kinda like it. Let me know what you think. http://www.01files.com/download.php/181438...freddy1.wav.txt (http://www.01files.com/download.php/1814383744freddy1.wav.txt)

[Predator]

What, you mean that Freddy?..
Well, then not nearly as similar.

[punch999]

[Fawfulhasfury]

Freddy O'Malley is the cat's name.

[Fawfulhasfury]

Great news!!! The Treasure Thieves has been added to adventure developers.

[Predator]

Congratulations. ;)

[Fawfulhasfury]

Thanks :D

[Fawfulhasfury]

Update with a new voice

[Fawfulhasfury]

A talking animation

[Fawfulhasfury]

Check the first post for some new progress percentage. :ok:

[Ioncannon]

demo will be done soon :)

[Fawfulhasfury]

Very soon.

[punch999]

yayi cant wait how long will the demo be and when do u tell us voice actors what to say

[Fawfulhasfury]

The demo itself doesn't have voices. But it will be two rooms long. Later on there will be a longer demo. When I need your voices.

[wendymaree]

Ok, Mr Fawfulhasfury, here's my audition. I can redo if it's not what you want.

Hope this is the right way to link to it:

1494085794well.wav.txt (http://www.01files.com/download.php/1494085794well.wav.txt)

[Fawfulhasfury]

Wendy wins the role. Check the voices for the char she plays. Also, she has been quite ill lately and we hope she gets better soon. Get well soon, Wendy. :bye:

[wendymaree]

Ok, when you're hot you're hot. Here's a link to download the possible theme:

Wild Ride (http://s21.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3U7JSPGL3OV2N2R68D1IU6L7ZT)

As usual, tell me if you want something changed. I'm wondering if the acoustic guitar should be lowered an octave *chewing nails*

Oh, btw, Fawful, thanks for the get well. You're so bad. :evil:

[Fawfulhasfury]

Well, since I am still working on the final animations for the demo, here is a small preview of a bg I am working on to keep you all satisfied.
http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/skycastle.jpg

[punch999]

yay we are so satisfied!!!lol

cant wait i love to act half my age

[goblins]

off topic slightly

In that graphic on the moon at the top id like to see some crators put in (make it more realistic) and perhaps put a darker blue tinge on the clouds to make em stand out - apart from that its a very good graphic and wets the appetite.)

That is for more to come - good work

[Fawfulhasfury]

Thanks, it is still unfinished. I was going to put some craters on the moon sure enough. BTW the clouds will also be shaded. Thanks much for your feedback. Also, I will post it again when it is finished. :D

[wendymaree]

So magical and shimmery. The castle has me boggling a little - really original and zany...but I don't think I want to live there. I know this is at draft stage, but I'd like to see the clouds reflect some of the colours of the sky.

Loving your imagination and can't wait to see the finished game....especially since I have a starring role. Well, ok, one word. But the whole game hinges on that one word, doesn't it Fawful. :sneaky: :max:

[Sebatianos]

Well....

I bet it does!

If not, well...
:bleh:

[Maikel]

Member-made games which are declared finished will get special attention soon on abandonia :)


stay tuned. (again)

[quatroking]

:w00t: hey! i make a Abandonia game too! :w00t:

What for game engine do you use?

[Fawfulhasfury]

I use Adventure Game Studio.

well. well. well

[Fawfulhasfury]

What. I make no secret bout that. If you had looked further back in the topic, you would have seem answer the same question. But anyway, expect the demo soon, again.

[xoopx]

i might make an adventure game, ancient egypt themed.
if so, ill know which people to bug to be voice actors ;)

[Fawfulhasfury]

Yeah, dominic armoto. :bleh:

[punch999]

freemade games made by community get special attention good i already started working on the abandonian massacre again

[Tom Henrik]

Now here is a little treat for you guys...


Tom's voice 1 (http://www.abandonia.com/~tomhenrik/Music/Tom1.wav)
Tom's voice 2 (http://www.abandonia.com/~tomhenrik/Music/Tom2.wav)

Now... that is one SCARY smurf :blink:

[wendymaree]

I don't think you're from Norway at all. You're an imposter smurf from the States.
And the sound kept cutting in and out on my system. But a nice voice for the hero, Fawful...if the hero is American. :eeeeeh:

[Tom Henrik]

:roflol:

Sorry, but I've never even been in the states (or in any English speaking countries). That is just my voice. :max:

[FreeFreddy]

Tom the American Boy. :D

[Havell]

http://www.musicman.com/big/clint.gif

:roflol: :roflol: :roflol:

[Fawfulhasfury]

I can't wait to cast you. LOL

[Fawfulhasfury]

Tom Henrik=Adam the lion cub evil genius, member #3 of the treasure thieves.

[Tom Henrik]

Yay

[Fawfulhasfury]

Little does tom know he has a HUGE amount of lines. :sneaky:

[goblins]

so are you donating a lot of programming code to tom henrik (yo tom henrik is that you over at the simutrans forums as well ?)

Hopefully the game will move ahead more now - keep up the good work guys

[Fawfulhasfury]

Yes, production will move much faster now.

Sumi..what?


What is that?

[TheVoid]

After Tom's scary treat, I want to ruin some of your fun by posting another one of my lines:

Like Dead Meat Like Son I Always Say (http://www.abandonia.com/~thevoid/audio/Deadmeat.WAV) :evil:

[Danny252]

ok.. your wierd, croaky voice is enough to scare me..

[Tom Henrik]

Hehe... nice one Alberto. Yet, somehow I doubt you speak like this normally :bleh:


I, however, do :ph34r: :blink:

[TheVoid]

The trick is to inspire air while speaking :ok:

If I can get a working mic, I'll let you hear ;)

[Fawfulhasfury]

I'm looking for monster ideas for parts 5-8. That make four monsters. Be glad to hear any suggestions. Thanks.

[Kon-Tiki]

Calculot! It's a giant calculator wearing underpants. It's gone berserk after somebody tried a division by 0 on it and has a total of eight wires sprouting out of its casing, which electrocute anybody it touches.

Surip, the sun that descended upon earth to pee on everybody, either burning them with its pee, blinding them by aiming for the eyes or making them run away in a hysterical panic due to the stench of its damped pee.

Kobolt is the offspring of a mountainclimber that fell in love with a yeti. It's got pickaxes as arms and giant iron pins on its feet. It's actually quite nice, but just is so lonely, as it's been rejected by both yetis and humans, both because of it being an abomination. Could call it the abominated snowman... or the abdomen snowman. Ah no, not the latter. Anyways, its only companion is its trusty St.-Bernard puppy. Don't get too close to Kobolt, or he'd think you want to be its friend and comes and hug you, which can be rather painful, what with those two pickaxes as arms.

Last monster is Rockabilly, the giant, boulder with a complex 'bout its weight, yet is addicted to sugar. It keeps filling itself with diet soda, always carrying a six-pack of it in one hand while gulping down the can in its other, then tossing the empty can in a random direction with such force it can get jammed into solid rock. When its six-pack ran out, it enrages and goes into a blind stampede towards a fresh six-pack.

[Fawfulhasfury]

LOL
I mean scary monsters.
Really scary monsters.
Yeti was a good idea.

[Danny252]

Now, puffin in a bad mood after hacking into Kosta's forum account. THAT would be scary... especially if she was mad at you! or me... :P no offence puffie

[Fawfulhasfury]

These things look good. Look at the attached image.

Also, a brief plot outline for Part 5.
The Whisperers in the Woods.
A man calls upon an old friend who seems to be troubled by a mysterious book and the appearance of what seems to be strange beings in the forest near his house. On the way, the man, named Jonathan Ramsley, is accompanied by three mysterious strangers in overcoats, one with a Brooklyn accent, one with a French accent, and one who likes to talk of science.

[wendymaree]

Did I misunderstand you? Was this graphic from POI - or one of yours? The plot for Part Five sounds interesting. I'm curious how the treasure thieves fit into this.

[Fawfulhasfury]

That is a graphic from POI. I was just saying that the creatures in it looked cool enough to be in my game. Part 5 has been changed to part 3. BTW the plot will surprise you, as will the creatures.

[TheVoid]

So? When is the demo coming out? :whistle:

[Fawfulhasfury]

Well, do you want the one without the walkcycle or the one with the walkcycle. :bleh:

[Fawfulhasfury]

New question. Are there any specifics that anyone might request for the game. As far as things they might want to see in the game??

[Fawfulhasfury]

OK, anyone else have a suggestion too???

[Stroggy]

Sex, drugs and folkmusic... what? Everybody likes folk!

Seriously,; no suggestions, just work the way you see fit.

[Fawfulhasfury]

I'm not asking cause I've run out of ideas, I'm asking cause I want to know what the community would like to see in an adventure game.

[Stroggy]

And I'm telling you not to.
I know you mean well but it is my own personal experience that the artist knows best and that too many suggestions only hinder his work.

[Fawfulhasfury]

Hmm. All right. I know I was dreading the thought that someone may ask me to make orchestrated music. :eeeeeh:

[Fawfulhasfury]

Just found this. This thing looks good.

[Stroggy]

Originally posted by Fawfulhasfury@Feb 8 2005, 11:36 PM
Hmm. All right. I know I was dreading the thought that someone may ask me to make orchestrated music. :eeeeeh:
well with a simply computer synthesizer you could make simple chorus and orchestra stuff... if you know something about music

[Fawfulhasfury]

Where might I find one of these synthesizers???

[Kon-Tiki]

The demo of FruityLoops, Cakewalk, Reason (although the demo of that one shuts off after 15 seconds), Modplug Tracker, etc. etc.

[Stroggy]

Well I got one together with my soundcard (soundblaster Audigy)

[Fawfulhasfury]

Thanks.

[Fawfulhasfury]

And now, a screenshot from the demo.
http://www.01files.com/images/688237623scrnshot.png

[Havell]

Wow! It's looking good :ok:

The only thing is that the items look out of place with the backgrounds, if you could make them look the same scale as the rest of the scene then it will look much more professional.

[Fawfulhasfury]

OK, thanks.
which bg is better, one above or below
http://www.01files.com/images/1412207943bedroom.gif

[taikara]

The second...

with the shadow details, it give the objects a better sense of place.

Also, the nifty textures don't hurt, either. :ok:

[Fawfulhasfury]

Thanks much.

[Ioncannon]

O.O wow look real good... can't wait to try the demo. You still need me to do that dracula guy?

[Fawfulhasfury]

Yes, but he is in Part 4. Won't need him for a little while.

[wendymaree]

The second one is looking good. :ok: Just one little thing...the color combination is a little yucky. Could you make the bedspread a more subdued green shade perhaps?

[Fawfulhasfury]

Sure thing. Thanks for the tip.

[Fawfulhasfury]

Well, the werwolfs laugh. Its low, too low, but I'll make a louder one later. Let me know what you think.
http://www.01files.com/download.php/106844...relaugh.wav.txt (http://www.01files.com/download.php/1068442535werelaugh.wav.txt)

[Fawfulhasfury]

Well, I just wanted to report on the progress of the game and demo. The demo has been taking so long because doing it and the game at the same time takes a lot of time, and I'm slow right now. Also, the demo will be about 4 rooms longer than before and will have a few more animations. Part 1 of the main game has also been considerably expanded and will be much larger than I thought it would be, but don't worry, I'm still hard at work with the game. :)

So, demo progress has been shortened to 50%
Part 1 has been shortened to 35%
:whistle:
Check the first post for all the percentages.

[Sebatianos]

Finally two more voices:
Boris (http://www.abandonia.com/~sebatianos/Boris.wav) and Bela (http://www.abandonia.com/~sebatianos/Bela.wav)

[Fawfulhasfury]

I've decided to do something a bit different. In stead of making one entire game chapter, I'll split each of the 8 chapters into parts. That way I can get the game to you a lot faster. Chapter 1 Part 1, almost done.

[Mcrusader]

Have scottish accent can help if needed.

[Danny252]

what sorta size might we expect for TTT?

[Fawfulhasfury]

Perhaps 30-50 MBs for chapter 1 part 1. I don't need a scottish accent yet, but if I do, I'll keep you in mind.

[Kon-Tiki]

How can you not need a Scottish accent? :blink: I'd add an extra character, simply for it :D

[Fawfulhasfury]

The thought crossed my mind. Now that I think about it, theres an opening for a scottish char in part 3. I don't have the script for that part yet, but when I do I'll send it to ya.

[Mcrusader]

Ok 'll be waitin :D
