yes. that looks fantastic!
But i really want to show the medieval side more than the food part. It is a great idea and i'll try it with some more designs.
thanks!

stepoversnails' edit with the teapot re-added at the top would be perfect in my opinion. I also think the animated icons are clear enought the way they are.

this is the final design.

I like it. It's not over complicated but it still stands out amongst the environment.
I even put the ags mug in there!

Great idea and great work, stepsoversnails!

Another approach would be to have the shield shaped more like a plate, with two eggs (eyes= LOOK) and below it a bent rasher of bacon like a smiley face (mouth= TALK) and then use the fork as a pickup/use action.  A nice pile of poorly-balanced pancakes above the plate with syrup pouring down each side to form the 'border' with some drippy bits at the bottom would complete the effect, and you could of course have other stuff along the border.





This gave me another idea. How cool it would be to create a verbcoin that drips away or melts over time, finally becoming completely unusable!?

I agree, I like the final version, too.  Good job on that!

Not sure if I like the idea of a verbcoin dripping away and becoming completely unusable.  If you can't use the verbcoin...what's the point?  What does one do then?  Anyway not to get off topic but I'm curious about the idea, but I can't foresee a scenario in which it makes sense?  Sounds cool though.

The final version looks good! :)

@OT melting verbcoin: reminds me of coming out of the aliens' humming machine in Zak McKracken, only the reverse effect.

Sounds like something from snakes! I like it! Awesome way of creating game-play outside of the box. (and works good on a drunk too!)

Btw, I like the finished design (though I personally prefer my bacon more well done), good job!

Careful with the outline, though.
