And that is actually a BMP font ripped from Sam and Max Hit The Road, probably used in a couple other LucasArts adventures as well. I imported it into AGS for use in dialog, as well as copied and pasted letters into Photoshop to be placed onto those buttons.

What did you use to extract it? I'm wanting to get a font from The Dig.

It's been far too long for me to remember, I believe it decompressed the game files into a readable format though, from which I grabbed the font. A quick Google search for the file format used to store the game files should get you some results, I don't have a copy of any LucasArts games on hand to find out myself, since I recently formatted.

In 2008, I tried to make a platformer on my own. I used Torque 2D and the platformer starter kit ... but unfortunately, my skills at programming stopped me from going further than a prototype and mostly concept arts.
you can try the thing here if you're up to (right/let to move, space to jump and the fox is giving a slash while waiting ....oh and you can't die ): http://benfiquet.com/foxgame/foxgame01.rar

The graphic sources are included, with spritesheets and backgrounds . Anyone is welcome trying them for other purpose , but it misses a lot of character animation though.

and some concepts

Sweet mother of god this is amazing

Holy Jesus fikey that is awesome  So good and the animations are so smooth. Have you done anymore game concepts since then. Think everyone would love to see more of your stuff. Absolutely blown away by all the art in that post.

Thanks
No I haven't worked on video games since then . I started another game during the TIG Jam UK around that time , but we never got far either with Ben the programmer ( which should be around here maybe ). We also had a prototype in game maker I think.
That video game (based approximately on red riding hood)is ,as you can see, more "bouncy"

fikey, my holy fuck you're good.  I poked around your portfolio.  You went to Gobelin?  I downloaded the demo of the fox game.  I was sad that it didn't reflect your awesome art you made.

Oh wow, everything about that fox game is gorgeous.  I'd love to see it realized.  Seriously, get yourself a programmer and go!

If you're looking for a programmer...

Here's a game I worked on over a year at one point but then it kind of ... stopped. I started looking for an artist to give the game a proper look but couldn't find anyone so I gave up. It's called Fast Food Frenzy and it's a fun/funny fast-food tycoon game, because I really like tycoon games. I was planning to have a bit more story to it as to why and where you run your business and who you're competing against. I'd love to continue work on it.





I also wrote quite a few tunes for the game, some of which are on my SoundCloud page.

@fikey Woah what? You went to Gobelin? Damn, I'm doing animation at uni in the uk at the minute and we're always really jealous of the great quality stuff Gobelins always produces :D

[peanutbuttershoes]

stuff!

OMFG!!! IT'S FRICKIN BEN FIQUET!!

I used to kind of stalk you, but not really. (I only watched everything you made public over and over.) I loved Pyrats.

I also semi-stalked Bruno Dequier.

[SundownKid]

A platforming RPG made in that art style would be siiick.

Someone get this guy 50 CC's of programmer, stat!
