<< Coloring Ball: Princess >>

The theme of this coloring ball is princesses, and the task is to design a royal young lady.

You can color the outline and flip the image, but not rotate or resize it.


Deadline is October 28th.

The last image with the sunset is just lovely, it truly looks fantastic!

While we're on the topic of fear and phobias, there are some pretty bizarre phobias out there, like:

Ailurophobia â€" fear of cats
Koumpounophobia â€" fear of buttons
Pogonophobia â€" fear of beards
Pedophobia, paedophobia or pediaphobia â€" fear of babies and children
Tetraphobia â€" fear of the number 4
Xanthophobia â€" fear of the color yellow
Lusophobia â€" fear of the Portuguese, Portuguese culture and the Portuguese language
Papaphobia â€" fear of the Pope

It would be interesting to see someone try to make a horror game out of one of those topics!

I just found this image and came to think about this game with the mix of comedy and Lovecraftian horror :

Blondbraid, so... which "Time Trial" did you vote for? The 1st or the second?

Oh god I didn't even notice the typo!
I edited the post now, but it was a hard choice between three great games.

I'm working with Hortecya12 and doing the grapics this time around,
but it'll be fun to see what you others come up with!

So I've been working on a new background lately, though I may add a few finishing touches in the final game:

The vehicle is supposed to be some kind of Kübelwagen, which was used by germans on the eastern front. I'm aware that the details of military equipment is a
very serious subject to some people and I hope my depiction is alright, I'm still trying to get the hang of drawing vehicles and machinery.

Looks fascinating, and it's fun to see an anthology game, that's a fun and unusual take on storytelling in games!

That's super nice to hear, I'm looking forward to the release!

I think the character portraits look great!

[Fred and Barney meet the future]

I've played all the games of this MAGS now.

Fred and Barney meet the future
It's a fun game in slashers usual quality, with some clever puzzles and chuckle-worthy dialogue.

The Execution of Anne Boleyn
I got stuck on a puzzle early on, but otherwise the graphics and story were good, and I liked the ending.

Time Trial
It's a very minimalist game and it ended abruptly, but I liked the survival mechanics and the fact that you played as a dinosaur, plus the voice acting was great fun.

It was a tough choice, but I ended up voting for

Spoiler

The Execution of Anne Boleyn

[close]

I've finished the game, even if the puzzles were a bit hard.
It's a nice game and I liked the twist near the end.

It's a call for help. Henry hid his message in the letter. Find some words in the letter that can be assembled as a 4 word sentence that would be indicating where he is

I hope this puts you on the right path. I'm not sure it's what you're after or if you gathered that already!

Yes, I knew that already, they did state outright that I need to find a 4 word message,
but I can't find any combination of four words in the message that makes sense.

I'm stuck with the letter puzzle, any clues to what words I'm looking for?

and it continues! Great. I love the more detailed artwork, the wallpapers in the office, the car outside the window and the usual umbrella stand with a gun

Thanks! While I have to admit that I've reused some stuff from my previous games,
I learned that making the perspective on wallpapers align is surprisingly easy once you've figured out the shear tool in Photoshop,
so expect to see more detailed wallpapers in the interiors of this game!

Weee, another game in the series,
Love the "peep talk", that's the spirit, let's die an agonizing death for the motherland!

Keep up the good work, and I'll be looking forward to it.

Thank you, I'm happy to see that you like it!

The dialogs look amazing like how your games are made!
I knew you were cooking something
The backgrounds look amazing, I see more details than before, still same style which I love! Plus a deep story with a meaningful title.

And of course, the love of my life, Ivan

Thanks, I've been practicing at drawing!
And yes, Ivan will have a role in the game, albeit a small one since the focus is on the titular commissar.

I have worked on some animations for cutscenes too:

[Commissar's Contrapasso]

Commissar's Contrapasso is a story about an arrogant soviet commissar
who follows the official doctrines of the party with little regard for the simple soldiers beneath him,
until he finds himself caught alone behind enemy lines that is.



For the curious, the title refers to the term Contrapasso from Dante's Inferno, wich means "suffer the opposite",
and is used to describe punishments reflecting the sins of the one getting punished, and will hopefully reflect the themes of this story.

I first came up with this idea back in January, and much like my previous games in a WWII setting this game will feature some dark humor and deal with a few heavy subjects,
but my hope is that it overall will be a worthwhile experience. While the main focus is on dialogues and puzzles, it will be possible for careless players to kill the protagonist.

The audio in the video made my ears hurt...

But otherwise it looks like a fun game!
