I've gone back to what im best at which is hacking games.

What?
Literally hacking games, or like, the genre?

Looking good doctor.

I think the visual language is unclear in regards to the poison spell.

The icon depicts a bottle with a gas pluming out of it, to me that reads as an alchemy-related ability, something like a poison bottle ability. Something practical rather than mystical.

I'd suggest going over this, there are some poison icon near the bottom that could inspire you. http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixelart/44976.htm

You're all kinds of crazy Grim.

Coloring Ball, over, the winner?
Bulbapuck!

freeindiegam.es posted about it http://www.freeindiegam.es/2012/04/bird-toxictuba/

I would also like to further enforce the argument that this thing is entirely useless. Having recently been able to understand the purpose of this project.
I would not say that it is a waste of your time to work on it, as I'm sure any endeavor can teach you something. All I would say is that it will never be beneficial as a user product.

This completely confounds me.

We are an indie game dev company producing multiplayer QFG style games.

Fair enough.

This technology allows you to bind websites more closely together as well.

Every website you load in a window on your website becomes part of your website

Why would anyone need that? It wouldn't "become part of your website" because it's another website, you know what I mean?

In the latest versions of firefox you can increase and decrease your window resolution by pressing CTRL- and CTRL+

Also you'll notice if you drag one of the windows over the edge of the screen and drop it the scrollbars size increase, allowing you to open multiple windows at bigger resolution.

Scrolling is in no way a step up from clicking a tab. Tabs become smaller when more pages are open for instance so you get great overview, in this case, you can only get an overview of three pages at a time.

It's similar to a frameset but it has enhanced features such as complete drag and drop capability, Minimizing/Maximizing, Internal browser "still have to add" Makes it where you can browse to your own choice of websites and is possible to open an unlimited amount.
And I'm working on adding more web based tools which are capable of editing images,text file sub systems, ftp capability etc..

I guess the last two functions would be a text editor and some kind of ftp client? Why would you make a less functional desktop, with a browser, inside a browser? people already have operating systems for this stuff.

I am baffled.

Nah, common browsers have multiple tabs, This is multiple windows within 1 frame meaning you don't have to change pages you can visit all of your necessary websites from one page.

There's an issue with that though. Websites aren't designed to be viewed this way. The lowest resolution anyone works towards is 1024x765. With multiple small windows like this I don't get what you would be developing, because it cant be websites, as the viewpoint misrepresents current design standards.
It's functionally the same as having tabs anyway, only that tabs allow you to view pages properly.

It has everything one would need to develop with our company.

I don't understand what this means. What do you develop? What would a hire be doing? What are the goals of this company?

Like every modern browser only worse?

I really don't see the point.

I get a 503 error.

What is it supposed to be?

I took a few liberties with this one.

Sorry ghost  8)

Maybe call it as hosts choice (vote or no vote)?

I think that would ultimately end up with further confusion. If someone new to the contest ends up winning, not knowing much of it's history then they are likely to mimic the current structure/ruleset. I think a line in the sand as far as voting or not, is important.

I would like to take the Coloring Ball back to its original rules;

* Colouring Ball: You get a basic sprite outline, and it's yours to colour and improve. Sometimes a theme is given. The thread starter elects a winner, who gets to initiate the next round, and provide the start-sprite.

Specifically, I mean to remove the voting period. It's good for some contests but I feel that in the case of the Coloring Ball that a voting period detracts from the point of the competition.
The point of a voting period would be to declare a more fair winner, rather than the host appointing one. That in itself does have some value but the Coloring ball isn't about who wins, or whether or not that was fair. It would be about making things for it's own sake.
The voting period also removes active competition time, I personally enjoyed always having a Coloring Ball around.

(It would be nice to hear some opinions on this, even though it will dilute the thread somewhat)

So this time, I will select the winner after this Coloring Ball ends on April 22nd.

Without further ado, here's the new Coloring Ball;

Polyframe

theme: nothing
(not literally nothing, there is no theme)

Trophy

Sweet, I will have something up very soon.

I played it.

I can't in good conscience place my vote on selmiak. The reason would be the lack of effort in its creation. I also find it lacking congruity towards the themes intention. I feel that Mrs. Packman and Packman opposing the pellet would be far more effective a theme, given the task.

I will vote for DrWhite.

I don't mind either way.

But choosing one for voting sounds like the best solution.

(I would go with the Molotov)

Well I got one more.

Civilization

Got an idea for another one.

Bottle + Gasoline = Molotov
