Wow, Selmiak and Cassiebsg, both your bridges look cool and trippy!

You can just add the link and a screenshot here, and update the link to the db later once you managed to add it. 

Since I still can't upload the game to the db for some reason, here is a link to download the game:

Sounds interesting, best of luck to you Mandle!
My game is complete, but I'm currently having trouble adding it to the database.

Yay, I hope this game will be available on Steam soon, already voted and shared on Facebook!

I'm suprised Slasher haven't made anything this time around, though it's still time left...
Anyways, my entry is basically done and can be played from start to finish, but I just want to
look everything through a bit more in case I've missed something. Hopefully I'll have it out tomorrow.

Everything seems to be working, thank you both!

I tried the script, but I get the error message:
room2.asc(27): Error (line 27): undefined symbol 'walkingCharacter'

What shall I do?

Hi!
What I'm trying to achieve is a scene where a character who is not the player walks from point A to B, and if they reach point B, the player loses the game,
so that the player has to be able to interact with the character before they reach that point.

But all scripts and functions I find are about the player character, so I wonder if it's possible
to have a script trigger when a specific non player character cross a region or walkable area?

Ok, I really hope the theme that I've picked isn't too narrow and specific, but I chose a subject which deeply intrigued me;
The Gerum Cloak

It is a cloak found in a peat bog, preserved from the iron age from around 360-100 BC which I once saw in a museum, and I've remembered it ever since.

The reason this cloak caught my interest is that it contains several holes after knife-stabs in it and traces of blood in it, meaning that a man was likely murdered while wearing it.
The cloak was then neatly folded together around a few small stones to weigh it down, and hidden in a bog, where it was left for more than 2000 years.

Who was murdered, and why was their cloak, and only their cloak, folded and buried in a bog?
We may never know what truly happened, but this Fortnightly Writing Competition will be about writing a story on what could have happened that led to the cloak getting stab marks and ending up in a bog.

Since it's a writing contest and not a history contest, it's ok to speculate and make your own interpretation.
I hope you find this theme interesting and inspiring, and if not, please let me know.

Deadline is April 15th.

I have an idea for a theme, though I'm a bit worried it might be overly specific,
but otherwise I can set it up as soon as I get time today.

I have made trophys and counted the votes, I'm sorry I took so long!

The winners are:
1. Scavenger
2. gameboy
3. Jim Reed

Congratulations to Scavenger and the other winners, and I'm happy that so many of you participated and voted in this Sprite Jam!

That looks fantastic, Blondbraid! I can absolutely see the inspiration, but it still retains your own style.

Thank you Riaise!
Here is a screenshot for the intro of my game:

The borders of Denmark and Sweden was a bit different back then, so I thought it might be a good idea to include a map for players unfamiliar with Scandinavian history.

Anyway, I'm working on my entry, and I think Mandle mentioned making one too, is there anyone else working on something this month?

Congratulations big time on your release!
This is so awesome finally seeing your game out there!

That seems like a pretty cut and dry connection to me. Everyone knows that anyone who likes videogames is a lonely basement dwelling virgin. Who else would be a better candidate for a Russian girlfriend.

Donald Trump?

More like annoying than making me angry, Google thinks I'm a Muslim. There's always an advert for Muslim brides or some religious event. A few years ago Adeel was talking about Ramadan, so I googled it out of curiosity. Did it a few times when he mentioned stuff. I do have Ad-blocker, but only on my laptop.

I can relate, but for me it was adverts from dating sites for russian import wives... I have no idea on how they made the connection -> reads a lot about videogames and spend way too much time on browsing TVtropes = I'm a middle-aged buissnessman looking for a russian girlfriend! One other reason to use Ad block.

Great trophys!

Congratulations, Blondbraid, by the way. That was a close voting - and a deserved win.

Thank you Sinitrena!

Just a quick question, will Neofeud be available on Steam?

Nice cover, kind of psychedelic with the purple sky and bent shapes, very dynamic!

But yeah, I agree with Bishy that it's weird that he's different from the screenshots,
and his shirt looks odd, like it's glued to his body or something. Hate to be a nitpick, but I wanted to point that out.

Thank you everyone who voted for me, I'm so glad you liked my story!

I'll try and come up with a good theme for the next competition!
