Futurama adventure game - Downloadable demo!

[:]

Hey people,
After months of work, we've finally managed to finish the demo of "FryScape: Episode I" futurama adventure game.
I'd like to thank anyone who is helping or helped the project and don't forget that we still have a long road ahead of us to finish the game. This demo is only the first room in the game without many things to do, just to give the feel of the game.

Re-upload the file. All I'm getting is an empty ZIP.

[#2 :]

Worked for me.

Idan, that's the best game I've played in the last three hours.  Congratulations, and good luck with the full version.

What, me?  Help?  With something not in stupid shitty Java?  Hahahahaha!

[#3 :]

Ah, a sweet little demo Idan. The Fry animation looks great.

I can't wait to hear my Future Guy on the finished version. 

[#4 :]

I am near speachless, but this is all I can mannage to say... Exreamly nice work.

I know it's not much but that was all I could mannage to say.

[#5 :]

Looks good so far, taking in consideration that I can't get out of the bridge.  Can't wait to see some more!

Also, what do you need help with?  I know nothing about computer programming and animation, I can't draw for squat, and you don't want to drink my coffe ... but surely there's something I can do.

El Zilcho, I got the empty zip when I tried to just open it, but it worked fine when I saved it instead, so try that.

[#6 :]

It took that long, and we are only done with the demo! That sickens me! Just kidding, The demo, looks great(even though none of my art is in it  )

[#7 :]

Idan, that reminds me. The 'team leader' of your project, 'Alexei', hasn't e-mailed me back about the voice work. Is he still the project leader and all later voice work should be sent to him or somebody else?
I'll check out the demo when I get home, on a public computer at the moment.

[#8 :]

Mmmm, pointy and clicky. Awesome game I want more!

[#9 :]

VERY nice, so far! I love the warning, and the captions are hilarious. 

I haven't been on the forum because every time I try to get on, it gives me a 404... 

[#10 :]

This is SO awesome! I love this demo !
Zoidberg: MORE! MORE! MORE!

[#11 :]

Nice to see yall finished a demo... I'm downloading it right now, but I'm on 56k so you know how that goes 

[#12 :]

Ahh So far so good. The animation is great. teh only problem i had personally is that the set of the game did not seem to like me using a tablet so I had to dig out a normal mousr. never the less i can't wait for the finished version.

[#13 :]

it looks nice, I hope you people will do more advancements to the game soon... it's nice and but it's still an early demo  we demand more 

[#14 :]

I thought it was pretty good after I played it.  Well done, I think you can sell it now. 

[#15 :]

The game looks really good so far.

BTW, how come my brother's song wasnt in the intro. please dont kill me

[#16 :]

Well, Alexei is still the project leader, I just gave a last push to finish the demo since I know the most around the game's source. Alexei is currently not at home, and has problems with his home computer, so that is why you didn't get a reply up until now. You should contact him for anything.

[#17 :]

what kind of programming language is used for the game?

[#18 :]

AGS I do believe. I don't know, I'm just eyecandy, really... 
Anyway, I hate to toot our collective horn, but the demo looks pretty damn good. I didn't look, but I was unable to find any bugs. Not even spiders! Anyway, good work on everything, workmates. I like the jokes, you scriptwriters roxx0rz. And the music is also cool... 0rz. I hope to see you all soon for tea. We did schedule a tea party, right? Meh.

[#19 :]

Kyle_M, there are some known bugs. Check the developers forum for info! 

[#20 :]

doesn't work   

[#21 :]

Worked for me.  I guess you suck!

Somebody get me some ice, because I believe this person has been BURNEDDDDD!!@@!! BOO YAAAA, in your FACE LOSSERRR, hehehehehe heeehhh eheheh!!!!!

[#22 :]

If there is a possibility to try and fix the reason why some people can't run it, we'll need more than just "It doesn't work". When doesn't it work? does it give an error? some details, porfavor. (sp?)

[#23 :]

Jankbot, follow these instructions exactly and it WILL work:

1. Click on the link below Direct Link:

2. Save it to the folder you want the game in

3. The download should begin.

4. After it is done, click on the winzip file you downloaded, and the Winzip screen should come up. If you don't have winzip, download it here: http://www.winzip.com/downwzeval.htm

5. Follow the instructions, and you should be able to unzip the file.

6. Click on the game icon in the folder you unzipped it to, and have fun!

[#24 :]

BTW - Did you know? There are 21 different "quit lines" in the demo, whenever you want to quit one of those lines will come up and ask you if you are sure. Make sure to check them all!

ALSO - there are some hidden stuff in the demo (it is a tribute to Futurama, after all). Anyone found them?

[#25 :]

Useless information:

In the past 36 hours, the demo has been downloaded roughly 450 times, totalling about 7 GB of traffic to my poor, poor webserver. A bit more than what I had originally expected, I must say, but we really appreciate the interest. 

[#26 :]

Idan, how do I quit once I've started a game?  I wasn't able to figure that out (not to say I really tried all that hard...).  Also, you misspelled "chutzpah" in one of the quit lines.  One more thing ... in the opening sequence, can you slow the Planet Express ship down for its flyby?  I feel it goes a little too fast, and seems a bit rushed.

(edit):
Well, it seems the menu bar at the top appears when I move the cursor up there ... it didn't do that before, as I recall.  Also, there's music that I don't remember from the first time I played it.  Strange.  Finally, there should be an option from the game menu to exit to the main menu, instead of exiting altogether.

I don't want to sound like I'm nitpicking or anything, just making a few suggestions.

[#27 :]

Zoidberg227, thank you for your feedback. That is exactly what we want.
About Chutzpah, since this is a hebrew word, you can't really misspell it (just like there are several ways to write "music" in hebrew without misspelling it).

About the quit to menu, this is something that will defenitly be considered. There really is no reason to return to the menu after you've started the game, since everything but the credits is available from in-game (and that would be available on the full game). Will think about it, though.

There isn't one music track on the in-game part of the demo, but 2, both done by JBerges!

Last, the opening movie is a temporary one for the demo. The full game will feature a different, longer and much better movie.

[#28 :]

Very Very Impressive.
I'd love to get a hold of a copy of the two music tracks after 2:36 in the music.vox file... I'd love to add them to my playlist

EDIT: by the way, hitting esc to bring up that menu would be a handy hotkey.

[#29 :]

knowsfords:  In case you missed my reply at CGEF, I said this:

"Wooh, someone noticed the music! If you want the music tracks so far, become a member on the game forums and request them.
 http://futuramagame.insanitysquared.dk 

I'll link you to the uploaded Mp3 files from there. While you're there, sign up to help make the game! Please? "

And Welcome to PEEL.  Stick around, it's fun!

[#30 :]

I can do an alright zoidberg voice, altho my own voice imparts itself onto it sometimes.

[#31 :]

I just downloaded this, and it is great. Keep up the good work, and hang in there until the end.

[#32 :]

Yeah, that was nicely don & animated. keep it up!

[#33 :]

I thought the beginning sequence movie was very well done and professional looking.  Any improvements upon it would be awesome.

[#34 :]

Downloaded it yesterday, and I can safely say I enjoyed it. A few nitpicks though, mostly spelling:
- You spelt 'suppository' wrong in one of Farnsworth's quit lines.
- In one of Zapps quitting lines, there's no capital 'H' in 'How'.
- In 'Why, of course!' for one of Farnsworth's lines, there's no space between them
- There's no capital in 'Where' when Zoidberg says "Baloney? Where??
- No offence for whoever made the background for the main screen, but maybe you should go for something a little bit more...professional looking? Maybe one of 'The Voices' work?
But overall, very cool. 

[#35 :]

I'll not be dowqnloading a 14MB file on my 56k, thankyou. If it gets completed, I'll purchase a copy on CD, assuming that somebody will burn it, and sell it to me.

[#36 :]

Aha!  TNUK said something of less than genius intelligence!

If these guys charge a dime for the game, fox will utterly pwn them on international copyright laws.  That's why fan games are worth supporting in the first place: they're guaranteed free entertainment.

That and this one kicks serious ass so far.

[#37 :]

I've made a few voice bits based on some of Quit Lines:
Nixon Quitline
Zapp Quitline
Zoidberg Quitline 1
Zoidberg Quitline 2
They were done on the rush, unfortunately.

[#38 :]

Nixon sounds like an Aussie.  Your Zapp is pretty good. Grim does a good Zapp (and Kif) too, I think. It was a while ago. But nice.

[#39 :]

I must commend M0le on his Zapp, that was awesome.
I also a good Kif and an excellent HGB and Morbo.
