Jones 2005 / News: Recent posts

Posted a screen shot of current WIP of the main game board. I appologize for the terrible quality as I had to scale it down to 640x480 and the orignal is a bit bigger.

I did "borrow" from the original games title screen to come up with that nifty sidebar you see. I'm hoping some talented graphic artist out there can give me something better!

This project needs a couple of graphic artists, or at least someone who has SOME sort of artistic talent. We need graphics to replace the stuff that was "borrowed" off the internet. Basically pictures/drawings that will become tiles for the gameboard, also artwork for individual locations, graphics for the game characters, basically everything! :) You should have some familiarity with the original "Jones in the Fast Lane" game.... read more

Ok, believe it or not I've already finished about 50%-60% of the coding necessary to make this a playable game. Before I release this out for everyone to have fun with, I'd like to get this closer to 80% and also clean up some of the code, make things a bit more modularized, and remove some of the temporary graphics and sound I've been using. (And don't have license for). I expect to be putting the source up here around December 1st. Even at 80% the game is NOT finished and will need massive help from you VB programmers / graphic artists out there.
