Great! I wanted to do some fanart for a while. I really gotta take this chance!  :)

I'm not going to say i'll enter because I know I promise so often to enter all these compos and never seem to manage it=(

That and I haven't a hope in hell of creating anything near as gorgeous as "Blackwell Nighthawks" (an homage to my favourite painting in the guise of a videogame? Yes please. I can die a happy man)

..but I will definitely be snapping up the DVD when payday hits on friday. It's such a sweet deal=D

Your favorite painting, huh? Then it might be of interest to you that there are bar locations directly referencing Nighthawks in Overclocked and Trauma.

And then, there's this:

Sorry, for the off-top, Dave. I'll try to make my own fanart to atone for it.

Thanks? :) Don't worry, the "Blackwell Nighthawks" didn't win anything anyway. ;) It wasn't even featured in the fanart section for, like, a year. Almost like my Gemini Rue fanart disappeared from it. Nice new design, though, Dave. ;) Yeah, I'm bitter. :D

Also, I'm going to do something even more awesome this time! I hope... Well, at least i'll try to... maybe?

Woohoo! Totally entered. The Blackwell games hold a special place in my heart. I'm pretty sure very nearly every game there is could be bettered by the addition of supernatural elements. ;)

Er... don't be confused if you happen to accidentally get the email twice. First I tried using my website email, because I was trying to see if I could get it to work (NOPE LOL THANX THUNDERBIRD), but apparently I can recieve but not send until I actually figure out what I am doing, sooo I just sent it from my gmail instead. 

;D

I played to Blackwell Deception demo with my mother and we both have enjoyed it. The great graphics, the catchy soundtrack & the brilliant writing especially Joey & Rosa' ironics dialogues. I love the last cliffhanger which is surprising. Who is that old man for Joey?

Wait & see the 12th October...

Good job, Dave !

Well, sorry to report that I haven't gotten anything.  Which email did you send it to?

SeventhBard

Oh dear! I sent it to admin@wadgeteyegames.com, because it was the address on the website.

Oh, except that gmail is telling me I fail at sending mail. Curses! Maybe that was my problem on Thunderbird too, I could have typed it up wrong. What is the correct address?

Oh bleedin' heck, EVERY time. I swear if I make that same spelling error one more time the goddess herself will come down and bean me one. Guess it's lucky I didn't specialize in ancient Egyptian folklore.  ::)

(resent, with the actual spelling and not the English-a-fied one my brain likes to supply)

GAH.  You're right!  They must not have been copied over when we revamped the website.  I do have the files, still. I'll re-add them.

Alright... it's getting a bit off-topic in here.  Let's get this back on-topic please!

Apologies for the bumpage.  Just wanted to remind folks that the fanart contest ends tomorrow.  So if you have any entries, now is the time to send them. :)

Last day to get your pre-orders in.  If you want to nab the DVD, now's the time to get it. :)

Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens

Wow, that's quite a good deal, and I'm not just saying it because I worked on the second game in the series!

CaptainD

I'm really enjoying my review copy of Blackwell Deception - I haven't played the earlier games (apart from the freeware version of the very first game), so I can't offer a comparison.  Some really good puzzles, nice graphics, great music and a strong storyline.  So far I'm a little disappointed with the number of inventory object puzzles, but maybe there are more of them later on.

The game will be launching in a few hours.  In the meantime, the fanart contest results are HERE.
