Okay, my question is about group projects...

1) We are a bunch of introverts with regards to our AGS projects.  Which means they can take years to complete.  (Honestly, Ben is a serious exception to the rule.)  I have to ask, how does one make the leap to a group production and what challenges does it entail?

2) Obviously a key aspect of a group production is successful recruitment, but in my experience recruitment works for narrowly defined requests, but it doesn't cut development time by 75%.  For me, so far, it has only made the difference between music that truly fits a scene vs. Kevin MacLeod's work at incompetech.com. 

3) Finally, since I'm convinced it makes a huge impact, any insights into the differences in group efforts between commercial vs. free projects?

I guessed the wrong Bakshi movie, it's Heavy Traffic, isn't it?

Is it "The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat"

For anyone who's a fan of Bruce Campbell / Sam Raimi / The Army of Darkness

Time for the big prison break...

Spoiler

Stuck in the tile room.  Turned off red shield.  Teleported across room.  Cannot open doors.  Can't use the "Far Hands" to bend the bars.  The side tunnels are apparently *NOT* tunnels.  I've tried to teleport to them and tried to walk to them.  Nothing.  Tried various combinations of sunshield, dash across tiles, and then teleport before I get fried, just to see what happens.  Still stuck.

Can I get a hint?

Bill - 

That's a good touch for Gary.

Now...

Spoiler

Stuck in the caves.  Got past Clef.  Wander aimlessly.  Anytime I accidentally backup I repeat the conversation with Clef.  What's the path through the maze?  Or is there somethign I'm supposed to do?

Okay, I have access to a florist, a gardener, and three gardens, yet I still cannot find any roses.

Can someone give me a hint?

Okay, wandered around town.  Talked to all the witnesses.  Talked to everyone I could find.  I know about the foxglove, the green mist, the murders, and the goats.  I haven't found a single thing to pick up or any evidence. 

I tried to follow the green mist, but I can't "walk around the fence" like the comments state.  I go to the screen to either side and there is no fence and no lake.  Checked out the pond in the Mobley backyard.  Nothing.  Check out the end-all-be-all garden behind the pub.  Nothing.

In one sense, it seems like a real criminal investigation.  Pound the pavement.  Talk to witnesses.  Hope to stumble across a clue.  But now I'm just repeating myself.  And the supernatural clue I did find, I can't seem to follow up on.

Can I get a hint?

Astrid disappeared after you gave her the crystal?  Yep, that's the bug.

I just re-tested the whole thing two hours ago, I'll upload that now.

Spoiler

If you googled the answer to the lock, the game will work normally from there.

Small Hint

Spoiler

When Astrid meet the 80's teenage ghost, the ghost said she was caught in a trap made from her own past.

If Jonathon Bellucci (the blue orb) is caught in the same type of trap.  What would scare him?

Medium Hint

Spoiler

First, when you were inside the shed you missed an item you need to solve this puzzle.

Look at the plant beds in the cave.  What was growing down there?  Look at them until you figure it out.  *THIS IS A REQUIRED STEP.*

Big Hint

Spoiler

Jonathon Bellucci was growing pot.  Like the 80's girl-ghost/Jennifer/his daughter he thinks he's still alive and the motivations he had when he was alive are the ones that effect him now.

Who would make a pot farmer want to leave?

How can you impersonate someone like that?
