Looks great, especially the walk cycles! Are those used throughout the game? It feels like a shame that they look so nice and are only briefly shown in the animation.

Too slow.
Let's take 24 frame per second.

Try this:

Walk at your normal pace. Time the walk and count the steps. You should find that you walk at one cycle per second. Or 24 frames for one cycle. Some people it's 18 or a little faster. Or 26 and slower walk.

Your animation is about 48 frames for one cycle.

Sorry, you are correct! I only render out 24 of the frames in the game, as I noticed this after playing around for a bit :)

if anyone is interested we finished the game and its been released for free here

Wow, I see Adventure Games Studio is still thriving. I played around with this years ago. Maybe I'll look into it again.
Good work on your game. The graphics look really good.

I love point and click adventure games. I will probably play your game. be sure and post here when it's done.

I have always thought it would be cool to make a Nick and Will adventure game. I've known about adventure game studio and have played an handful of games made with it.

And I have made games using RPG Maker so it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for me to use Adventure Game Studio, We'll see...

Anyways your Animations are very good.

Very fun :) Animating walking sequences has been surprisingly hard for me to figure out. The background slows down at the end when it's not supposed to for some reason...
