This Game

I think this qualifies as nice fanart but I like the original obviously.

Afterall, it's up to the game creator himself to decide what style should be used.

Wow, looks great, apegomp!

I really enjoyed seeing those.

The reason the game looks the way it looks is that I modeled the character on someone I know. He's blessed with a never-say-die attitude, simple dreams and an astonishingly poor imagination. Hence the lack of colors (and hence the stupid title). How you arrive on a "look" is a bit more complex, of course, but that's the short explanation, anyway. In hindsight I could probably have added more shades, life and flavor to the backgrounds while retaining the desired effect, still, the visuals were always gonna end up a "some like it, some don't"-thing.

Snake: I'd like to do a sequel, but I better wait until the urge haunts me from the very bottom of my heart

Apegomp: No way! Great screenshot, though, I love it. But really, ThisGame wouldn't be the same.

Damn you Monty! I'll even help you with another one... just as long as I don't have to do art or scripting.

But seriously, I hope you feel like making another one. I truely loved this game. A future AGS classic in my eyes.

Looking forward to more projects from you.

Wow, what program are you using to do that? Looks awesome.
I used Slab6 and Voxed and MSPaint lol to make the wallpaper.

I thought it looked a bit like Voxelstein. Now I know why!

Montague: I thought the really diluted backgrounds had a nice contrast with the characters, in addition to enhancing the otherworldly/dreamlike/abstract feel of the game. Put me in the "some like it" category.

Also, I would much rather see further original work than a sequel to this. Not that I would complain...

Wow...it's like a Twilight Zone haha. It's hip, stylish and cool. The humour is excellent. The minute he

stepped in and called the old lady stupid after a few sentences was hysterical. I loved the past, past past, present and future concept. It's like Back to the Future, except this one deals with keeping the family together by preventing a much more dark and twisted stir of events.

ThisGame rocks. From the beginning to the ending, it doesn't lose wit. ThisGuy is one of the most likable characters I've seen in an AGS game. I hope to see more.

I just played at this game (well duh...) and I really liked this, especially the main charachter who is a great jerk.

But I saw that people mentionned that

How to do it?

I found this game to be highly creative when i played it. It's small, but it's not too short. It's so creative how you mix up the time space continuum, the twists, the plot twists, the time traveling all contained in one house.. Oops have I said too much? Anyways it was a blast; really I enjoyed this game.

I can't wait to see what other adventure game you come up with next; I'll be keeping my eye on you.

Congratulations on making a really solid game. The simple graphics contributed so much more to the mood than a lot of that overwrought razzmatazz you see in games these days. It brings back that good old feeling of the adventure game old school without the frustrating control issues and annoying as hell PC speaker music.

I also dug the hell out of the story and its execution. For some reason I kept thinking about the book, "House of Leaves," while I played. Good stuff, man. Really good stuff.
