Good Ol' Adventure CANNOT BE DEAD!

[Joey]

Cmon everyone! everytime I check no ones at good ol adventures. i have some pretty awesome memories of that. i remember me and corby and i think it was pat played a police game where i was dooley and we had to go to the space station and find a criminal. it was so fun. lets try and go there more often people! ill try and go there everytime im online now. it was so fun when there was like 14 other people there. that was the good ol days. now its not so great cause no one goes there much well maybe they do but when i check no ones there. we need to communicate as an AGI community people! so lets go to chris's chat and good ol adventures more often! see you there!

I stopped going to goa because it's boring after a while.

Chatting and playing adventure on-line don't mix well for me. If I whish playing adventure games, I'll play them off-line.

I stopped going when they stopped supporting Mozilla and made it IE6-only for a while.  I think they've updated it since though.

Yar, I can't get it to work with Mozilla, either, and I try to log on about every month or so.  Every time I go there, it's all, like, instead of giving you a normally functioning avatar chat, we're going to show all of the ego character's entire animation loop so it looks like there's about 30 clones on the screen...  doing a chorus line or something.

i believe there is a quest now that you can do. plus you can do commands like look and get key and stuff. its really cool. plus there are so many characters and places to go. cmon everyone. its really fun. atleast when i am there it is! i make up our own adventures to do. like we can all be in a police squad and have to go investigate a situation at the car crash or something. let agi live!

[robingravel]

cmon everyone. its really fun

Why we should go to goa to play some games on-line when you have already played them off-line?

Already, nerby nobody comes to Chris' chatroom because
nobody has something to say. GOA will not get people to chat either.

And nobody will not wish to spend many hours to play agi games on the internet. There are plenty of fanmade games to download and play them

Only the goa programmers are still interesting to their work. Myself, I tried goa a few months ago and I got bored after a while.

robin, but can you play all those adventure with MORE than one person and go on quests together?

[Chris Cromer]

It isn't even an adventure yet, there are no games, it's just a chat.

I think after mini-games are done, then people will play on them, but until then, people can't just talk forever.

[Joey]

whats wrong with you people!? have you no imagination!? have you no child left in you? if you dont, then you are turning into one hell of a boring person! adventures can be made themselves by us. just go in there and make up a little quest. thats what i did with some guy today. this is what happened:

we PRETENDED to be deserted outside the sq1 bar. our ship had broken and we had to fix it. when we fixed it we flew back to the orbital station. i was cleaning outside...when all of a sudden a bomb was about to blow up! we leaped for our lives (outside the station if you just walk towards space you float off) and landed in vohauls base. we knew he was the one that planted the bomb in our station. we found him but he shrunk us. we went into the vent and pushed a button that stopped his breathing (you really can start or stop the compressor). then we went back to the station to clean up after the explostion.

it was REALLY fun. and i think i have a great imagination. so if you are bored, go to goa with me and we will have an awesome adventure! it could be anywhere. it doesnt have to be with just sq stuff.

trust me...just a little imagination can make something a LOT funner. see for yourselves if you wish.

[robingravel]

have you no imagination!?

Yes. I have some imagination. That's why I'm still working on adventure games.

I get the same feelings when I'm playing SQ games over and over. And I can use my name as well (in sq 1 and 2).

I understand you like goa, it's your opinion after all.

But the majority of people might not follow you.


Joey. Please don't push far away like ' whats wrong with you people', you could hurt some people and a moderator will lock this thread and you will not help goa neither.

I honestly think the concept has potential, but the implementation of the idea is poor. The fact it that all it is, is a text chat room where you can control a sprite that walks around. The sprite can't do anything other than walk! It can't interact with other sprites, it can't do anything other than walk around. Frankly that being the case, it's better off to just talk on IRC--no need to waste screen space on graphics that lose their novelty after thirty seconds.

If it had an SCI1-like point and click interface with an inventory, virtual shops, tons of objects on the screen to pick up, use, and interact with, the ability to build on and modify the worlds, and so forth, and mini games to play with each other such as a sword match, or whatnot, it would really be something. However, all you can do is walk!

Those types of things are planned. Martin has been working on mini games, inventories, and other such things.

The sprites can interact with other sprites, but only to a certain degree. The players can't walk into eachother because of the lag between both players which makes it impossible for the server to know when to stop them.

Well, the main reason why I'm never there, is that the pc crashes when I close GOA

About the need to do something there (Brian's suggestion), maybe Martin and the other GOA devs can take a look at Cinderella Sings in Circles It has basically the same idea, with the interaction all worked out, just waiting for SCI Vga Studio to be released so we can find and add a networking/internet code to it and start production.

Well, don't close GOA then...

Very nice project...

im not saying stuff like that robin, i am trying to encourage more people to go. if not many people use it, why should martin keep working on it? if no one is going to use it anyway, it is just a waste. we affect the impact on it.
