Seems we have a solid starting field, and if more people want on board you have until 2 pm (London time) before I close registration.
By tonight you will know what game you'll be working with.

Oh boy! Can't wait! Please let me have a game with a female protagonist!
Working on a RON game!!!!!

Alright, this thread isn't too crammed yet so I think we can still use it. I've added a few criteria when it comes to selecting the games for you, namely;
* The game is a complete adventure game (no demos, no experimental crap or platformers)
* The game has at least 3 panel cups (to ensure a modicum of quality)
along with those already listed:
* Less than 3 years old
* Freeware
* No cover art already
* Functional link

If any of you got a title not matching the critera above (through an oversight on my part), just let me know and you'll get another one.

LET THE LUCKY DIPS BEGIN

Interestingly enough, you got Escape the Barn, by Cat. I didn't even have to reroll once, so I guess this is destiny.
Exciting for Cat!

After countless rerolls, you got KTX-1, by DKH

Cat
You got 9 months in, by Tzachs.
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1528/
This game kind of has some sort of cover art, albeit underdeveloped. If you want to switch, just say so! But I really think it could gain from a hi-res digital painting. I liked this game, btw.

Ascovel
You got 15 minutes, by Tim Hengevelde.
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1432/
Looks like an interesting art style.

Miguel
Red Flagg - Don't Call me Blue REDUX, by Luke "SpacePirateCaine" Rideout
This should be short and sweet. No female protagonist, sorry!
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1266/

Selmiak
Abduction, by Mode7.
A challenging art style to work with.
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1363/

Babar
Technobabylon II, by Technocrat.
One of the more acclaimed titles of the bunch. Good luck!

Soxbrooker
By the Numbers, by AJA
2010 OROW winner, so that's pretty cool.

san.daniele
The Visitor, by Nicky Nice.
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1492/

nihilyst
The burger flipper, by elruffo.
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1617/

Miez
You got Ben Jordan case II Deluxe, by Fransisco "Grundislav" Gonzales
This is a remake from 2010 so it fits the age criterion.

slapstick
I forgot, by Domithan
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1414/

A pity Kasander isn't participating in this round, would've been fun.
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1603/

calicoreverie
Escape From The Chaotic City, by Christian Cammilleri
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1290/

Layabout
Dinner for Pigeons, by Pressure Cooker
Another game with very distinct graphics.
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1421/

CitizenParagon
UNGA needs MUMBA, by Knoodn
This character is very known, but also very cartoony, so making a hi-res painting can prove tricky!
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1567/

Dervish
Snakes of Avalon, by Ascovel and Baron
Will Ascovel approve? Excitement! Nominated for basically everything in the 2010 Rogers.
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1357/

Loominous
Robolution, by Tzach Shabtay
Robot protagonism ftw!
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1336/

Waheela
You have The Far Corners of the World: Chapter 1 - The Book, the Box and the Key, by Wesray.
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1472/

Ghost
You have Submerged, by WHAM.
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1404/

NEXT STEP
You now have a week to sketch out the basic layout of your piece. Be rough and bold, and don't worry about the finished result yet. Write a few lines about the style and the characters you wish to depict. What feelings do you want to convey? What style? Consider how the text will go with the art. Google tons of box art pictures!

You have until Monday 19th to post this concept/sketch. Mitteneers will post their sketches when they get back from Mittens.

I want the finished picture to be 700 x 900 pixels, portrait orientation, but the sketches can be any size.

GO!

Dropped Monocle Games

Can we post more then one sketch/concept? I have one quick one that I would like to share but I have a feeling I will have more then one idea before I settle on the final concept. I have never really done anything like this before I would like to show all my steps so the group can help and advise me.


The idea behind this:
the guy is a kidnapper in an interview room and the game is based around just that, so it was very hard to come up with anything other then what is already shown in the game (at least for me)
but I tried to let the lighting tell the mood, and maybe show that he is evil but still human?
let me know what you think, I'm going to try to come up with some more ideas :)

P.S I have never tried to paint in photoshop before, so this may not end well!

Andail

Soxbrooker, of course, you can update your post as many times as you want. I'll just pick the latest one when I compile all the sketches and we move on to the next round.

Note that Loominous and Waheela, both workshop veterans by now, have entered the competition using their "you may enter late" cards, which are now spent.

I loved "9 months in" :) I hope it doesn't matter that I did some voiceacting for it, but I definitely had nothing to do with story or art. Looking forward to designing some nice box art!

I'm also looking forward to see 304's interpretation of "Escape the Barn". If you need any of the original svg files (for example the title text) I can upload it for you :)
