We used to have one up on the site's header, too, but someone (Marek) never sent me the image

BerserkerTails · 12-24-2005, 08:02 PM

Great gift, gave me something to do for twenty minutes this Christmas eve. Of course...

Spoiler:
The ending was a total cop out! I was waiting for the screen to boot up to Samorost or something, hehe.

Still though, thanks for the gift. Happy Holidays everyone!

Karmillo · 12-24-2005, 08:15 PM

I still cant get that star on the tree...maybe im trying the wrong thing

Spoiler:
Is the darkness just there to fix the power or can you use that stepladder?

***Jackal*** · 12-24-2005, 08:21 PM

You're trying the wrong thing.

Karmillo · 12-24-2005, 08:23 PM

dammit

***Jackal*** · 12-24-2005, 08:26 PM

You'll kick yourself when you get it.

BTW, there's a custom made ReadMe file that goes with the game, in case anyone's NOT used to AGS.

Karmillo · 12-24-2005, 08:41 PM

maybe a nudge in the right direction?

Intrepid Homoludens · 12-24-2005, 08:45 PM

Oh c'mon, Karmillo! The tree is wilting, like any other plant. What does that mean, eh?

Well, now I myself am stuck. Can someone give me a hint about powering up the computer? Pleeeeez?

pffft im waaaaaay past that

but for what you need

Spoiler:
i guess poking things are the key

god im such a riddler

#Edit#

Wait a minute, if your actualy needing to turn on the computer then you must have

Spoiler:
had the tree all perfect and got your present open, how did i manage to power everything up before doing that?

***Jackal*** · 12-24-2005, 09:09 PM

The game is somewhat non-linear. You can do some things in a different order.

As for hints, how about starting a thread in the hint forum? Seriously, there are only a couple puzzles IN the thing. Just asking about them is telling people a lot. If I weren't such a spaz at splitting threads, I'd do it.

(Where's a mod when you need one?)

I finaly got it

me

I was certian that I tried that aswell

Spoiler:
The ending was funny though i was half expecting it to just return the the start screen when you put the game in cause Christmas Quest IS the best adventure game ever, or something like that

Intrepid Homoludens · 12-24-2005, 09:34 PM

Okay, okay. I finally figured it all out. Sheesh, should have guessed right the first time, it was so bloody obvious!

Thank you so much, guys for all the work. It was lovely, best Christmas gift ever from any adventure gaming site!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

***fov*** · 12-24-2005, 10:14 PM

Feels weird to offer hints for a game I partially wrote.

So I will just

you all again and wish you a Merry Christmas. If anyone's still stuck tomorrow, then I'll offer some help.

SoccerDude28 · 12-24-2005, 11:10 PM

This game was awesome, and funny as hell

Fov and Jack, ever considered working in an adventure game company? You guys are hillarious

Seriously you guys did an awesome job. Thanks a lot and merry xmas

Intrepid Homoludens · 12-24-2005, 11:16 PM

Yes! fov and Jack, kudos to you for the 'bracing' humorous edge in the writing. I was snickering half the time.

Kurufinwe · 12-25-2005, 12:22 AM

This game was great, and fun! So many references... Thank you so much!
