Ooops. I forgotted I entered that jam. Sorry for not posting sooner and thanks everybody who liked my sprite and said nice things about it! You people are now in my will.
New topic. . hmm let me see new topic . .
Adventure Game Mythic Creatures - Make up an existing or new mythical creature for an adventure game - be it a three headed monkey or a man eating chicken or . .whatever. . you get the idea. But it would be favourable if you chose an existing adventure game (can even be an AGS game) and tried to relate it to that.
Go great Guns kids . . I want to see heaps good stuff!!
No colour limit (less than a billion tho')
Size (to suit adventure game)
No other rules except that when you are doing it you
a) have to have fun and
b) can't be angry that I started this jam really late (especially coz it was my birthday the other day and hangovers take some time to go away!)
c) Have to use a computer.
Heh, January, February, Barch,... change that(unless it was intencional)
I just may enter.
Well this is a great topic, i'll tell you why... cause i made one for a game called Sven Gordan Paranormal Parody. It's a fangame jokegame for Ben Jordan series which is in beta testing and will be released in the next week :) (if i release it, it's been more of a self learning experiencing)
So here it is (for an actual game of res 320x200)
the 'Swamp-Ape': 40x80 and 9 colours.

Frantically walking back and forth in your room, you suddenly hear a knock.
Due to your newly aquired distrust, you deicide to take a peek before opening.
Holy SHIT! They found you already? But how? Never mind, you have to escape.
Stay calm, think straight, all that bullshit, and maybe you won't be eaten. Yet.

Can you resist the Eyes of Nûhm?

Guess who!

x2. What the Hutts should have looked like. Not an entry.
Ok, here's my entry:
(http://xs71.xs.to/pics/06106/blackblondehobbit.png)
This is a black blonde hobbit with a red beard and blue eyes. I don't think blacks can naturally have blonde hair and blue eyes and a red beard, can they? I don't really know. Anyway, that's why it's mythical (and the hobbit thing, too).
And if you, for some really, really weird reason think I'm racist for drawing this, my sister-in-law and my niece are mexican, my uncle and two cousins are asian, and my aunt is columbian.
And that makes you? macosian ;)
Heh, not really. They're related to me because they married people in my family.
I'm a mix of... just about everything else.
Well, finally got it done.
El Pollo Diablo and his porcelain mug and vase of death.

Is it voting time yet?
I vote for BigBrother Nice one Brother!
There's no voting in Sprite Jams, the starter chooses a winner.
Here's my bELATED eNTRY:
(http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/drfred.png)x2
(Mythical status aquired when LA turned its back to the adventure genre.)
How cool. So many good entries. In the end, even though the quality of entries was FAB it was a toss up between
buloght and biothlebop.
I'm picking Biothlebobs entry as it has a creepy 'the gentlemen' feel to it (that was a buffy reference btw). Some may argue that it technically isnt a sprite but they be smelly poopers!
Didn't he say it wasn't an entry though?

Ah now I remember whats wrong with it!
Edit // yeah je mentioned its not an entry, and I do argue its not a sprite.
The second sprite he made was the non-entry. His first one counts.
Oh, how silly of me. I went backwards in the thread to find his post and didn't end up seeing his previous one.
Thank you for choosing it, I'm honored. It wasn't very spritey because I got bored with it and only quickly sketched a body and background. It was done in that resolution though, and could have been quite easily sharpened and given a clean outline all throughout. New topic soon.
Oh yeah, if anyone is wondering, it was a little Chtulhu-mythos inspired with the tentacles and stuff, otherwise I think Cthulhu is not that cool, it looks like a crappy old movie monster, at least in this.
