Then no one wins and Klaus restart something totaly new. And if that hapends too often, the thread will die...

I'm pushing as hard as I can...I've been going on minimum sleep and maximum scripting this weekend...it's been more like a week-long game than a month for me because of the little time available, but I'm pretty sure it'll be out in time. (I just hope people don't mind my two-frame walkcycles, heh. )

Update: Wokay, no way in heckfire am I gonna make it. I guess I'll just aim for releasing a week or two from now. Good luck to any competitors!

We are entering. Give me a few hours to wrap it up and upload.

It's time for the final exams at Warthogs Magic School, and notorious slacker Larry Lotter is about to flunk all of them because he spent less time studying and more time drinking beer. But there is yet hope! Using a spell to travel back in time, he gets the chance to do his day over again and pull some tricks to pass the exams anyway! And he has to, because it's his Destiny.

Join Rob Greasley, Calliope DeRanged and Professor Mumblemore in this short Harry Potter parody, loosely based on the greatly admired books by J.K. Rowling. Watch the other characters act and interact off their own accord, and spin time back and forth to interfere.

This game is admittedly a bit rushed to meet the deadline; I'll post a more polished version later this week.

Thanks to Fizzii for the background art, Meerbat for the portraits, and J.K. Rowling for the awesome series of books, of which I desperately await Part Seven.

Abisso why didn't you tell us earlier that this all will end like that?

So I guess all time travellers should have posted their games by now... Hm... I hope those who didn't yet find the way back to this thread will publish their games at another time then.

So voting is difficult this time as there's ~~so many entries~~ only one entry. But a very good looking one (I didn't yet play it). Okay, it's not the best way to win by default - anyway:

The winner this time is Radiant and his game Warthogs. Congratulations!

Radiant when walking up and down the stairs I have gotten this message twice and then game stops. Sorry, don't know how to post screenshot.

Yep, I just got the same one when I tried to look at a portrait in the stairwell. Otherwise this game freaking kicks tail! Congratulations guys!

Radiant · Mon 27/11/2006 21:59:32

Got it. Sorry about that guys, like I said I was in a hurry (which is kind of ironic if the topic is time travel). I'll polish up and post a new version in a day or two.
