Hey, the name's Kon-Tiki (or Tiki for short... or Kon, as people seem to prefer) It's a pseudonym (who would've thought?), as my real name's Raf Vermeulen. I'm a Belgian that's in his 20s.
 
;How I got to AGI
 
I've played games ever since I was a kid, and some of the first ones were ''[[King's Quest 3]]'', ''[[Leisure Suit Larry 1]]'' and the non-AGI (but same in style) [[w:Hugo's House of Horrors|Hugo trilogy]]. After playing those games for some time, I started dreaming of making them myself. That lasted for ages, until I stumbled across [[AGI Studio]] a few years ago.

{| class="wikitable sortable" <!-- width="800" -->
'''''Pirate Quest (A.K.A. Quest for Piracy)''''' uses interpreter version 2.917. This demo is the first release of Quest For Piracy 1 (QFP), and does not include much, apart from foundation graphics and code. The code currently in the program mostly just the basic stuff needed in most AGI games. Currently there is nothing to do but look at the scenes and pick up some objects. Joystick support has been removed because most don't use the joystick when playing AGI games. Also the sound control has been removed.

I have yet to finish a game I've made, but there are already a few with my name on it.
You are a pirate who is marooned on an island by your fellow mates. Now you must escape, get revenge and do some other things.

==<br /> About ==


In ''Little Pirate'', you play as Jake, a kid that's been kicked out of the house by his mom. He always wanted to be a pirate, so he sees this as his chance to become one.

This game's about 2/3rd done, but progress's been put on hold for now. Once I start on it again, I'll redesign some puzzles, take out quite some bugs and typos and redo some graphics, as all of this is quite embarrassing to me nowadays. It's still an enjoyable game, but the puzzles might be a bit tough, and some bugs are interfering with the game.

Unfortunately, most of the graphics in this game are ripped off. Two are taken from King's Quest II. And it looks like a few others are altered desert scenes from someone else's game. The one original scene of a house, doesn't look good at all. On top of that, the technical aspects are no good. There aren't any animations. In fact, the game has a fatal error at the beginning which doesn't even allow it to run. Also, the plot isn't very fleshed out. It's all described in one textbox and not mentioned again. Few to no commands are understood. I am not trying to be mean, but this game needed a whole lot of work. However, it has been abandoned anyway. I can tell Ian C. Smith is a nice guy, but with his next game, I suggest he put more effort into it. Perhaps it would be a good idea to work on the game with someone else. Let's see what else he makes.

''Little Pirate'' contains quite a lot of hidden commands I used to try as a kid when getting stuck in old adventure games. These are buggy as well, though.

My pet project, made in team, is ''Ninja Forever''. Nothing's released of it yet, but it's coming along nicely. This game will be pushing the limits of AGI as well as giving an entirely new experience to adventure games. Stay tuned for it. Its webpage (well, more a log) can be found here: [[http://www.abandonia.com/~kon-tiki/Test/Blog/index.php?blog=1&cat=16 1]]

''Tales of the Tiki'' is a collection of small games, which all started with ''Jiggy Jiggy Uh! Uh!'' I occasionally make a tiny game that's... quite odd, to say the least, with some key features like rhymes. At the moment, there are three of them: ''Jiggy Jiggy Uh! Uh!'', ''Soka Soka Chachacha'' and ''Mala Schizala''. Only ''Jiggy Jiggy Uh! Uh!'' has been officially released. Once I have one more such game, they'll get bundled into one game, called ''Tales of the Tiki''. Stay tuned for it, at least if you're into oddities and weirdness.

About

Unfortunately, most of the graphics in this game are ripped off. Two are taken from King's Quest II. And it looks like a few others are altered desert scenes from someone else's game. The one original scene of a house, doesn't look good at all. On top of that, the technical aspects are no good. There aren't any animations. In fact, the game has a fatal error at the beginning which doesn't even allow it to run. Also, the plot isn't very fleshed out. It's all described in one textbox and not mentioned again. Few to no commands are understood. I am not trying to be mean, but this game needed a whole lot of work. However, it has been abandoned anyway. I can tell Ian C. Smith is a nice guy, but with his next game, I suggest he put more effort into it. Perhaps it would be a good idea to work on the game with someone else. Let's see what else he makes.
