The difference being that her work was at the very least some sort of experience for many people, which, while they are still tragic, isn't something you can say for the thousands of deaths happening across the world every hour.

When a relative dies, one mourns and feels sad and remembers all the shared experiences, and memories and stories and so on. Maybe they had horrible habits, or weren't the most moral person in the world, or didn't contribute all their money to save starving children, but that isn't the point. This could be taken in a similar way with someone like Whitney Houston, only that the shared experiences (music) and memories of those experiences and stories would play a smaller part in one's life (unless you were a rabid fan). Added to the fact that it is someone so many people know, and shared those experiences and such, it isn't so far-fetched that people would mourn them.

It is a bit odd that EVERY time someone publicly (in this forum) mourns them, there is a contingent of people who must chime in to talk about the silliness or hypocricy of it all. I mean, I realise that everyone has a voice and wishes to, and has a right to share their opinions, but still...

Sure, I understand that the influence that she may have had would vary very greatly person to person. I, for example, don't know much about her, except that her cover of "I will always love you" was probably the best so far.
But if someone bothered to start a thread about the death that wasn't just an informative "Hey, Whitney Houston Died", they PROBABLY were influenced by her more than those who wouldn't care at all. Are their experiences and opinions less worthy because someone else doesn't consider her so important?

I'm glad you updated with the original characters! No offence, but it was better than your sprites . You should change their hair colour of the characters to differentiate them!

Igor's game has finally been uploaded:

I strongly encourage all who can, to overcome the surprising download size, and download and play it. I have never seen a more potent mix of creepiness and confusion as this picture:




BRINE NO BRINE

Someone wrote an article about me? 

But yeah, stuff like Youtube, AGS, heck, even blogs and such stuff has definitely opened up these fields to way more people. But....isn't this a pretty old news? People have been talking about it since the internet, since personal websites, since youtube, since blogs, etc.

You are absolutely right!

Despite the Fallout-like visuals, not really!

You did the same thing again, so it can't be accidental! Now I'm pondering even more whether I should accept your response

I am pondering on whether or not to accept your response, Dan

Dunno how easy this is:

Children of Men, obviously (although I thought it was Watchmen for half a second :o)

Your site crashes my browser every time.

But from what I see before it crashes, you should reduce the size of your top banner. No need to waste almost half the screen on something that serves so little purpose.

That's OBVIOUSLY Frodo, so....Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring!

I'd go with the 2nd one, simply because it'll probably be way easier for you to integrate your characters into the backgrounds in-game.

AGS has a few lighting/shading functions (shade/brighten/tint the whole character by a specific amount or colour), and you could probably have a few more coded in (characters having shadows, etc.), but even with that, you'd run the risk of the characters looking out of place, as if they'd been pasted onto the screen. This particular room may not be all that problematic (except maybe if the player moved the character to the left, shaded side of the bench so that technically, part of the character should be lit, and the feet should be in shadow), but you'd definitely run into problems in later backrounds.

Oh, also, Kung Pow: Enter the Fist!

Yeah, I was going to mention that, but does it really count?

I have all these already .

WHY ISN'T QUEST FOR GLORY INCLUDED?!

We have our own resident warrior Barbarian, who almost featured as one of the kung-fuing mini-bosses in a Jackie Chan movie. He hasn't been online in about 3 weeks, though.

As far as movies go, I have absolutely no knowledge of "styles" and stuff, and I usually enjoy kung-fu as a backdrop to comedy (with movies like Shaolin Soccer and Kung-Fu Hustle).

Don't chase around a "real boy/girl" and photograph and video them walking for a game.
They probably won't like it.


Their parents might pursue legal action :o.

I just realised...
If everyone who says they are entering creates a game in time (which may not happen, of course), you'll have 17 games as of now, and probably many more people are going to sign on.
I'd say that is a bit...overmuch for one bun...thing.

You could maybe split them into 2 or more bundles, but that'd probably just confuse and convolute things.
Perhaps you can take the opportunity of having a new name (i.e. "It is a summerbatch, not a bundle!") to also think up some different form of collection or whatever. Like a person could obtain any 10 games out of the total by providing whatever amount they wished, but if they wanted all of them, they'd pay a more than, or equal to a fixed value. This could, of course make the game authors angry because then perhaps their game would not be chosen, but it is only one suggestion I came up with on the fly.

I approve of this message

Quiet, you silent worker in the back-room! You'll ruin the surprise!
