Seriously, if this doesn't say "It's time to end this!", then tell me what does.

I keep hearing MORTAL KOMBAT!!! whenever I see it!

Your new tracks are great, and I'm impressed to see that you came up
with so many of them this week!

Awesome, I'm so excited! I will buy this game as soon as I'm able to get this song out of my head!

Everything looks absolutely gorgeous and the animations are top-notch!
These screenshots keep giving me flashbacks to The land before time,
and I mean that in a good way!

Yay!  Neofeud has been Greenlit!   Thanks AGS community for your support and for voting!  Gonna make Steam cyberpunk again.  We have to give "The Last Night" a run for its money.

Hooray, does this mean that Neofeud fill finally be on Steam?

Amazing @Bloodbraid The use of photoshop in this one creates a really unique style. love it. The saturation give a vivid sensation to it. And also a Three Headed Monkey!(laugh)and a Vengance pistolero XD. Really good entry.

Thank you so much!
The process behind the image is quite a story in and on itself in case anyone is curious,

Spoiler

I got the idea for the monkey when I took a picture of a couple of monkeys sitting on the same branch in a zoo, and you almost couldn't see where one monkey began and the other one ended.

The waterfall is taken from a photo from a trip to Turkey, I just copied and pasted it on both sides of a Mayan temple from Mexico. The stone floor is from the same location.

The character is a compilation of several photos, the original figure was actually a painting of an angel from the Cuzco school of painting, but I removed the wings. The face is actually from a knitted ski-mask that my mother bought as a souvenir since it kind of looked like Guy Fakes from V for Vendetta. And the pistol is't part of the original painting either, it's from another picture I took in a WW1 museum in Belgium.

Not everything in the picture is taken from old photos though. I have to admit that the shadow under the gunman and patches of grass on the floor are entirely a product of Photoshop.

Awesome animation! Inspecting her new manicure?

These ads for online games...
Upon close inspection I saw it was just some warrior dude standing next to a bear with the same armor as him,
but at first I almost thought he was some sort of centaur creature.

Then I just wanted to share these bizarre toys I found in a bargain bin:

It seems manifacturers of knockoff toys have no idea on how large chickens are...

I decided to goof around with some old vacation photos in photoshop, and before I knew it I made this picture.
It kind of fits the theme with a boss battle, doesn't it?

My drawing grew a beard!

Dude... given your past stuff, you are a MASTAH of historical themed games!

Thank you, but I won't be working alone on this game, Creamy is working on some terrific gameplay for it as well!

Also, nice screenshot Funkpanzer!

Great to see several promising entries this month!
Me and Creamy are also working on a MAGS project, a game set in late 1700s France,
about a woman who joins the storming of the Bastille in order to rescue the prisoners there.

Oh this should be good, I hope I get any epic ideas before the deadline!

Wow, the trailer looks great, I like the fluid movements and animation!

So fun and adorable! This GIF made my day!

You make a good point, Gillbert, but my complaint isn't about realism as much as aesthetics,
and I think that the costumes look boring and cheap for being in a movie with a multimillion dollar budget.
If you aren't constrained by realism, why not go all out and do something interesting and dramatic rather
than just use leftover pieces of leather stapled together?

To use some examples, the armor of Thor and the other Norse gods in the Marvel movies weren't realistic either,
but they looked like there was thought and effort put into designing them, and I could say the same of the designs
for the characters on planet Krypton in Man of Steel or the characters in Lord of the Rings too.

I had trouble telling most of the amazons apart for much of the time, and nothing about them looked even vaguely Greek.
I also found the amazon costumes jarring in Wonder Woman since all the other costumes from the WW1 era were rather accurate and well done.
I guess this might count as minor spoilers, but:

The armor for Ares looked like a ridiculous knockoff of the guy on the Skyrim cover! Also, why did he have a Victorian-era mustache in Ancient Greece?

However, this is just my opinion, and taste is subjective. But does anyone think that the amazon costumes looked beautiful or memorable?

[Wonder Woman]

I just saw the new Wonder Woman movie, and while I liked most of the movie,
the costumes they went with for the amazons really grinds my gears.

This is an promotional image from the Wonder Woman movie:

And these are images for Game of War, a free to play strategy game mostly known for using B-list actresses in gaudy costumes to trick people into spending money on micro-transactions.


Why on earth do the the costumes on commercials for a free phone game look less tacky and better made than those in a 150 millon dollar blockbuster?!
Now don't get me wrong, I liked the story, acting and action in Wonder Woman, but the silly costumes made it really hard to feel immersed in the movie whenever the amazons were on screen.
I think costuming in movies in general is criminally underrated, and especially in sci-fi and fantasy. I think it makes up a larger part of world-building than people give it credit for,
and it always bugs me when movies that do everything else well fails in that department.

Thank you, I'm very happy that you liked my game, and if you get stuck anywhere,
do not hesitate to post in the Hints & Tips tread!

Very nice, always fun to listen to what you come up with!

Wow, that's impressive! And all the details, I can see how much time and effort went into this!
