http://www.users.on.net/~guttridge/texvid.html

56K warning.. it may take a while to load due to it being Shockwave.

I just whipped this variant up too.

I have a couple coming - so don't end this on me just yet

Bests, Rockefeller

No problem. I'll run it at least till the end of the month.

Keep them coming!

Thanks Poster

I just finished this one up - I think (and hope) it fits under the 'Creative Projects' Category. It took forever to do so you better like it You guys are gonna have to download it to see it, however, and it's a Windows executable. I can see how this app can be fun and useful in many ways for many people - I'll see if I can share some creative uses of this app with everyone in the near future, and I encourage everyone to play with it and do the same

Here's the link:

Whoa! You got my vote!

Small little suggestion though, are you able to program it so starting a new sound causes the other one already playing to stop first... becuase if you were to quickly hcange sounds, they would both play at once, and then the jig is up!

Other than that, it totally ROCKS! A lot of work you must've put into it.

Man I gotta get cracking on something.

-Cub. =o)

Thanks for the Feedback

I'll let everyone know when I have an update (gonna search the game for some good "hello's", and "goodbye's", which are surprisingly rare.

I'll also take your suggestion into account, Cub

Hey, I have something else to plop under the 'Creative Projects' Category

I may have mentioned before that I'm working on a little engine that can run Tex-Like games. I guess I'll enter a prototype for this engine into this contest as well

I'm not ready to share the most recent version, but I think this will give you the idea. I created a quick sample-level in 3d 'similar' to Tex's Office through which you may navigate, click around and hear 'the comments'.

There's no help file included, but basically you'll get some interactive response if you click when the magnifying-glass is showing. If you put the cursor on the left or right side of the screen, you'll get some arrows signifying the ability to navigate. If you bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen while facing the desk you'll get another kind of movement-possibility. If you turn 360 degrees from your start position you can get the gun off the credenza by clicking it - and yes, you get the clip

Think of this as a little taste of what I'm currently working on

Besides that, if anyone has any questions on how to run it or play it let me know - it is also a windows executable like the soundboard. I apologize for the file-size (11.25MB) - here it is:

Enjoy!

P.S. The SoundBoard-Fix will have to wait a while - just don't click any buttons while other sounds are still playing during your prank calls

Holy $#it, you can move around the office. That's awesome man! Keep it up... I CAN NOT WAIT to see more!

That is really nice.. I'm guessing you are using a 2D engine though as you've used FMVs to move the camera. Which is funny because I could really use a guy like you for my game remake (for doing 3D animation of camera movements). Nice work though Rock..

I found a bug btw. The pistol re-appears for a few seconds if you've already picked it up and move the camera.
