Sprite Jam: The Saint (Winner Announced!)

Congrats Misj', well deserved. The game concept (while not my cup of tea) is exactly the sort of thing I could picture being developed somewhere in the religious games industry.

A golden statuette, and the right to continue Sprite Jam, goes to Misj for an interesting and unusual character personality.

Thanks!
Technique wise I think Victor did a better job than I to match the character to the resolution. But considering how much I like the character-design aspect of these Jam's I'm glad to have won on that account. I'll get a new Jam up shortly.

Congrats Misj', well deserved. The game concept (while not my cup of tea) is exactly the sort of thing I could picture being developed somewhere in the religious games industry.

I was actually thinking of it more as a comedy/parody...of the way religious texts can be misused. Hence the title (thus it is written, thus it shall be) which I find kinda funny and the fact that she was a self proclaimed prophet. It was a bit inspired by Loom's user interface/game design, and by Ben's highly creative take on short games (this should of course be his 302'nd game in his 304-game series ). But...if the religious game industry would want to give it a try...be my guest.

Congrats Misj and happy holding the next competition

Gameplay: All puzzles are conversation-based. And Deirdre will only use verses from scripture...sometimes she will mix up verses, and often she will use them out of context. But all in all she has a predefined set of sentences that she can use all the time. And depending on what she says, people will react differently and - hopefully - help her on her journey.

This is something I would totally make. Religion be danged, this is a concept that really develops a super strong personality for the main character, not just some opportunity to try and get kids to read the Bible/Koran/etc. Nothing against the religious people, of course.

Congrats on the win, and awesome game concept!
