erm... Arctic Christmas?

[Super Cauldron]

That's Super Cauldron, by Titus Software who also made the Blues Brothers platformer, Titus The Fox and Lamborghini American Challenge which was the Fast & Furious of Amiga racing games!

Yeah, you got it! Although Lorenzo was pretty close by accident

Such gorgeous pixel art - look at the shadows on the rabbits as they enter the house!

Absolutely! 

Amiga game... 

I simply cannot hide those from you 

Yeah, it's indeed an amiga game from 1993 by a french developer.

While we are waiting for a new entry, let's admire this piece of artwork (and yes, it's from a game - you may guess it )

I think nobody has a problem with keeping or maintaining forks of the template.
Yet I can't imagine that 320x200 puts anybody off because of it's aspect ratio. Changing the resolution of a gameproject should be matter of minutes and art assets have to be created anyway.

Do you intend to maintain templates for 200p, 720p and 1080p? I could image that all this work wouldn't be worth it..

Thanks a lot, I hope you'll have fun with AGS and the template.
I'm afraid I'm still a sucker for the old resolutions, besides there are a lot of devices out there with a non 16:9 aspect ratio out there (Macbooks, Surface devices, Phones etc). So I'd like to keep the retro standard for now

As for the translations:

Chris Jones? 

I had to post this

Hi and thanks for the bugreport.

I think, that this is because I check the running in repexec and not repexec always. An easy thing to mitigate this for room changes would be to stop running, everytime you change a room. Also by using CTRL-X you're cheating a bit, as I'm checking for 'regular' room changes at line VerbGui.asc:2519

Running is also cancelled by every new mouseclick, so for this to happen you need to trigger a cutscene while the player is running without any other interaction or event. And the game designer would not stop the player from moving. The question is: how to detect such a cutscene.
I could use Game.InSkippableCutscene, but this would leave out unskipable cutscenes. Maybe a solution would be simply to add a StopRunning command which you would call in a cutscene

I'd love to get some more input on this.

Anyway to stop running also via CTRL-X room changes, this should do the trick
VerbGui.asc:2181

Code: ags

function on_event(EventType event, int data)
{
  if (event == eEventEnterRoomBeforeFadein) {
    Verbs.CheckDefaultAction();
    Verbs.UpdateActionBar();
    
    verbsData.player_is_running = false;
    player.StopMoving();
    player.SetWalkSpeed(verbsData.player_walk_x_speed,  verbsData.player_walk_y_speed);
    player.AnimationSpeed = verbsData.player_ani_speed; 
  }
  
  else if (event==eEventRestoreGame) {
    //Verbs.AdjustLanguage();
    Verbs.InitGuiLanguage();
  }
}

Wow, that was fast. Indeed it is

And what a great game it was. I still prefer it over 5 and 6... maybe only because of the friendly tree backgrounds

Anyway, here's the next:

Commander Keen..err.. 4?

Maybe it's time to finally declare 1.2 to be stable. 

This is mainly a refactoring release, no new functions have been added so far. But internally the template has changed a lot.

- cleaned up the global script (moved the remaining GUI actions to the options menu module)
- Localisation of the GUI elements is handled a bit different internally
- It's possible to change the GUIs being used by the template
- Some more refactoring, the template throws errors if a module is missing.
- Bugfix: Option GUI wasn't translated if English is not set as default language

Yes, out of the box, you are stuck with nine games. But you can of course extend the save/load gui to your liking: you just need to add more save/load buttons and tell the optiongui script about it.

This one is also available in english - and it's pretty new

I follow this one too from time to time, but I'm afraid I forgot to reply 

Hey, thank a lot, guys!

And belated happy birthday you too. Especially Anas, since he remembers me each year while I tend to pretty inactive in march and always overlook his birthday 

This should be Brataccas from Psygnosis

The template that comes with AGS already has this build in. The scroll arrows appear automatically as soon as they are needed.

Wow, those graphics look really nice!

Well the button font is quite close to the one of Thimbleweed Park - I'd say if you go commercial, you might want to go for a more independet route.

But if it's freeware I don't see any issues at all - the font (also the color) fits your game perfectly (as far as I can tell from your background)
