I'll bite... The shinning?

PS - Is the forum really slow today or is it just me?

Yes, you can add animations to the GUI, buttons can have animations in them. And they don't need to be "clickable" or even static.

Here's a game I made sometime go with an animated menu: https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/2201-unexpected-at-the-rising-star/

Or this one that not only is a great game, it also has a very cool animated menu: https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/2520-if-on-a-winter-s-night-four-travelers/

Yes, as everyone already said, just add a room or a GUI to the almost finished game. Much easier to do than creating a new game just to launch the game.

The GUI option is the "easiest" since you can then allow the player to access the menu at any time (like, if you want to add Load/Save/Settings options to it).

Just create a new menu, make it visible from the start, and make sure its set to pause the game. Add a "Start game" button, where all you need to do is hide the menu GUI when you click it, and your game will just start exactly like you want to (since when you hide the menu, the game will be unpaused and start).

EDIT: But you can do a nice cool menu inside the game, it doesn't need to be simple, can be as complicated as you like. I don't see the need for creating a "new game" just so you get a menu. But it's your game, if you want a "game menu" that all it serves is launching the real game, then you're of course free to do so.

I think, like me, you use Flashlight cause it's the term we're used to see/hear in US films/shows/games. As soon as it's British it becomes a "torch"...

I think the "flash" part of the name, it's not because it flashes, but referencing the immediate light turning on (just like a flash flood, doesn't flash either, but it's immediate/sudden). I'm just speculating, not something I know for sure.   

I got the Demo from GOG, but it's an exe! 

Any change to provide a zip file as well? I don't like installers.

Meet Bubble, your friendly hopping ball.
Never leave home without it (it'll literally hop happily and follow you). And if you get tired, just sit on it and enjoy the ride.  Don't worry about motion sickness ever again... it's colour friendly!

Rats, missed Broken Sword... 

Thanks for keeping to post these. 

Merry holidays everybody!

Think we might be complicating this a bit too much maybe? I'm no expert in the Tumbleweed template, so I'll just talk my thoughs on this process:

Spoiler

- Use tinder on firewood (nothing weird here).
- Use knife on tinder/firewood (nothing new here either)
- Eventually zoom in so that you now can see, the firewood, tinder and knife.
- Now, you just need to use the flint on the knife

If your zoom in is close enough you can even make the flint become the cursor and then use the mouse to strike the flint in the right place (or correct movement) to make the spark fly towards the tinder and start the fire.

I think this would give the player a good feel of actually doing it instead of randomly combine object x with y and use on Z.

It would be a cool interactive piece, I think. Then you can make it easier or harder (like placing the tinder in the correct place, the knife and strike with just the right movement/direction/strength).

Homage you give credit to the inspiration. Thef you claim it as yours, period. 

NP, you're welcome.
I've seen ppl do that mistake before, so thought it was worth mentioning it. 

You probably have it set somewhere else.

Few thing to check:
- Do you have more than 1 character that look the same? Maybe you're using the wrong character?
- Check all lines where cChar1/cbianca (the NPC that isn't working - right click on the name and you should get an option "Find all"). Review each line and make sure you didn't change it's view, or forgot to unlock a view somewhere. or change it's speech color.

Maybe they believe in Santa Claus? 

About "Whamageddon", no such luck. My son goes around singing it... but I like it, so no problem for me. 

That is awesome! 

The "old" owner can take a fraction of his earnings by the sale,hire all the fired personnel and give them better pay, create a new improved platform Twitter 2.0 called "Coollibri" and invite all Twitter users to join... thus killing Twitter. After all, a social media platform is only as valuable as it's users. Everybody wins... well almost everybody... 

*Bump*

New pic?

Thanks!

your turn. 

I'm running out of pics now...

No, but maybe this one will help?

80´s is correct, Boyhood it is not.
