I don't know how this compares to AGS, but Memoria and the other Daedalic adventure games were made with it:

Why talk about it at all?

Just work on it and when you have something to show for it, then do it. Don't talk about it if you want to get it done.

I need some drama set up duhhh....

See, he gets it.

People, is it a problem if I choose a name for my game which is the same as the title of a movie, book or music? The game has nothing to do with that medium, just it happens to have the same title. I can't get sued or anything, right? :D

You might want to say away from names like, say, Game of Thrones but that should hopefully be obvious from the get go. Single word titles are pretty much impossible to be trademarked as far as I know so if that's the case you should be safe.

However, if you think there is any possibility that your game's title will be confused with the other work you should really just contact someone who actually knows what they are talking about (e.g. a lawyer).

So whats the first thing you'll make for this? Weapon models?

Well I thought of "A Long Road Home" and when I googled it, it turned out there was a shitty family film and a Danielle Steel (WTF?????) novel by the same name in the 90s.

So whats the first thing you'll make for this? Weapon models?

The game itself.

Good luck bro. Set your sights on finishing it. If you need help, I think a lot of codexers would be happy to climb onboard.

 

[Redlands]

There's two movies called Frozen that have been released within a few years of one another. Same with Jack Frost.

It's really funny as in each case one's a horror movie which gets released first, followed by the family-friendly one.

Chances are you're probably okay.

Have you written up an actual design document for this?

Of course

Spoiler

not. It's just a quick, smaller project. I think I will be okey without a design document.

Sorry, without. thx.

Tim Schafer probably said the same thing after the Double Fine adventure kickstarter.

So this is just some... demo?

I'm working on the demo first, yes, which is planned to be the first chapter of the game. If I can finish the demo and pull every element of it together, I will continue the work and make it a full game. But that will have a more detailed design, so maybe I will make a design document.

This thing releasing before Grimoire?

I could work on this for a decade and it would still release before that.

Do you ever feel that you saw a level of your game so many times, that it makes you go "fuck when it is gonna end?"

 

[Redlands]

That's not really giving us a good impression of A Long Road Homo.

Nah, it's just there is a puzzle I'm designing and I have to run it time after time after time again around a dozen times to get it right. And it gets boring for the nth time.

But I can't wait to show it to you, I think you guys will love these puzzles. (I hope at least.)

 

[FeelTheRads]

Today game design fatigue, tomorrow 3 prostitutes butchered.

Guys, what do you think which is the better design:
1) There is no indication whatsoever which item is interactable and which is not. Meaning that the mouse doesn't change its icon if you hover over an interactable item. (old adventure games did it this way)
2) The mouse icon changes over an interactable item. (recent adventure games, even the ones from the early 2000s started to use this).

Although the first one adds an extra layer of challange, I think it also means that most of the time people just start clicking on everything, seeing if it does anything.
