Looking for GFX and CODE for a game...
I've had a brilliant idea for a graphical adventure game for the C64, but am totally incompetent at pixeling and coding. Therefore I ask the help of the scene to make the best C64 adevture game ever. I have a plot written and am planning on writing the script, I just need somebody to either point out or code a nice graphics enigine (a la Maniac Mansion or Zak McCracken) and draw some graphics. I will wrie the script, design the gameplay, etc. More info about the plot and stuffa available on request.

Sounds great! :) But I think, meanwhile the graphics can be much better than "Zak McKracken" and "Maniac Mansion"! :) |

Im not pessimistic or anything, but from experience thats how things work. |

I've gathered this from the response I got on Lemon. I think my game has a better chance of getting made if I do it as a text adventure in Inform or the Quill. Heck with The Quill, I'll even be able to have ilustrations (albeit only in hi-res 1 color if my memory serves me correctly)

You could also use The Graphic Adventure Creator. I once used it to make my adventure The Island but without any graphics. |

I tried it but when I went to test one of the sample games that was included on the disk I had a CPU jam in VICE. As I will (by neccesity) be developing in VICE and 80-90% of my audience will be playing in VICE, it makes sense to use something that won't crash. Also GAC is poorly documented online, while the Quill has the whole manual online (technically for the BBC Micro version, but it works identically from a user standpoint) Still, I'll see what I can find as it IS supposed to be much more flexible.

Now that's the question, if one thinks that Out of Order is working on adventure games and Newcomer English Enhanced Edition got released in 2001 :)
Please do not give up that fast, I want to see another great graphic adventure, even as a commercial release |

It would be years of learning before I could write good enough code to make a SCUMM-style adventure game engine. Given that, I think it might be better if I started writing games in a way that I can learn without years of prior work.
