Yeah, I read through the reloaded interview a couple of weeks ago as part of my searching. 

[Collector]

Did you send off an email?

[Cloudee1]

I did and got a response. Project is moving forward. Thanks Collector for finding that email address for me.

[Collector]

Nice that he responded. When I was going through all of the AGI fan games for screenshots for the AGI Wiki, Voodoo Girl was one of the ones that seemed to stand above the rest for me. Let's face it, a lot of the AGI fan games are pretty bad and most of the ones that aren't are usually incomplete.

Just a little update, things are making progress. I have been slowed down drastically by some of the redrawing. At that end here's a couple more images just for the sake of sharing.

[Collector]

I'm not remembering the screen on the right, but then it has been a while since I played it.

[Cloudee1]

Uhm, have you been drinking?   

The picture on the left is the original and the one on the right is my replacement for it. I would certainly hope you don't remember the ones on the right.

[Collector]

Of course I realized that the one on the right was yours. Your P&C toolbar obviously gave it away that it is from your remake, but I was not remembering a similar screen from the AGI. The AGI screen on the left is navigable on both ends of the path where your new screen drops off at the end. I thought you were trying to do a  more or less 1 to 1 reproduction, at least in terms of layout.

[Cloudee1]

Ah. Actually it is, the vines are climbable.

[Collector]

So not a 1:1 remake.

[Cloudee1]

Real close but not quite. For instance the solution to one of the more subtle but necessary puzzles in the original just didn't seem to me that it would accomplish the goal. For that I have added a new room to house the new solution.  Once I redrew the first room, I opened up the door to make changes as necessary. Kind of kicking myself for that, because otherwise I would already be done and on to the next project. But as is, I am still planning on redrawing about a dozen more rooms.

[Collector]

Oh well, as they say, in for a penny, in for a pound.

[Cloudee1]

Speaking of which, good news, bad news.

Good news, I have officially made my exhaustive list of things to do (which does not include the sound effects or music, that list comes after this one) and there are very few items on it that are in need of programming, about 10 bullet points. The bad news, everything else on my list involves drawing either rooms or animations, about 40 bullet points

So hooray, I have a visual goal of the end but it isn't quite as close as I would like it to be.

Having seen the potential of the original AGI game, I am very interested in this project. Having a clear plan of attack sounds very promising.
