YOSHI'S WORLD

[Timballisto]

Who has played Yoshi's world?  Insane Steve made it, and because of that I didn't put it in the other games board.

Anyhow, this game is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.  Seriously.  You can find it on Insane Steve's website.  The comic that goes along with it is also great.

Oh, also, what language is that in Insane Steve?  Could you possibly give it to me or something so I could learn it?

Oh, and if you dropped that project, Insane Steve, then I encourage you to pick it up again.

I especially like the line

"Yes.  Let me go get my 5 million cubic foot tank and I will pick up the river."

Hilarious.

[Isu]

Yeah, Hilarious.  :mikelaugh:

I just read the cartoons. They're so gorgeous! X_X

[Timballisto]

Yeah, Hilarious.

Sarcasm?

Does anyone know what language this game is written in?

Does anyone know what language this game is written in?

I'm pretty sure that question was answered somewhere in Insanve Steve's website, and possibly in the game dialog.  I believe it is some sort program specifically for making adventure games.

[guest]

I think it's called "Adventure Games System" or something like that, judging from the "AGS" in the icon.

I wonder if the version I downloaded several months ago has been replaced by an update.  I should re-download it again.

I seem to recall from either an in-game comment or other sources that Insanve Steve found it to be a somewhat primitive system for making adventure games and was wishing for a bit more.  But then again, the game was more about humor than graphics, sound or storyline.

[Timballisto]

The page was supposedly updated April ninth, so your version could possibly be out of date.  The funny thing is that Insane Steve was on today, only he never found this topic, or he didn't post in it... O_o

[guest]

Yes, it is definitely updated since December when I first downloaded it.  Cool!  B)

And Timballisto, don't you have XP on your computer?  On mine the file icon says very clearly

"Yoshi's World
Adventure Game Studio run-time engine
Chris Jones"

So we see that Insane Steve used this "Adventure Game Studio" thing to build the game, and Chris Jones is the person who made "Adventure Game Studio".  That should be good starting points for further Googling.

[Timballisto]

I found it last night on google.  It was easy.  You just have to type in the name of the program.  Oh, and I post on a mac (ACK!) and I work on a 98 - It does what I want it to do already, so I see no point in getting XP.

Sarcasm?

Not really, I'll add a smiley.

I somehow completely missed this thread somehow.

The game is written on "Adventure Game Studio" --  I can't remember the site.

Yes, the game is more humor-oriented. That said, adventure game plotlines and puzzles tend to be ridiculous. My artistic abilities are extremely limited, which is something I'm trying to fix but just can't for whatever reason despite practice. The music is the very last thing I'm adding.

No, I haven't dropped the project. I've been somewhat busy recently and haven't worked on it in a while. I have the plot and puzzles all complete; it's just programming the game. That's all. The point is, I'm trying to make a successful comic/game without any artistic talents whatsoever.

The point is, I'm trying to make a successful comic/game without any artistic talents whatsoever.

And it's working out quite well I'd say.  B) In fact, I think the bad art and music actually adds to the overall humor and irreverance of the comic/game.  I don't think it would work quite as well if you made the art look professional.

[Timballisto]

I'm making a game in that program...actually, I'm using paint to do it.  The comuter I'm using doesn't have anything else.  It's still coming out quite well though, and I've taken to the 320x220 resolution.  I like to animate the cursors.  My walking cursor is an animation of foot steps.  The only thing I would still like to know how to do is script better and mess arouns with GUIs.

[guest]

Insane Steve, I just suddenly have this really wacky idea that you should make a Cheapo style based off of the bad graphics in your Yoshi's World comics and game.

...Okay, maybe I need to go easy on my medication.    But who knows, it might work out well.

[chaos_defrost]

I attempted to draw my own graphics set with "ISWorld" -- I'll let you figure out why I don't do my own styles. I'd have to try and make Yoshi lemmings, also. I have considered trying a Yoshi's World style.

I've considered making a "Yoshi's World: The Level" in Cheapo... Basically, a small comic strip pasted into a level. I just need to figure out a way to make an interesting level out of a strip -- I don't want it to be out of place like BeastII was.

Of course, it'd have to be a Vertical scroll level exactly 304 pixels in width...
