Eric becomes a superhero if he eats a certain type of fruit... (people who grew up in the 80s will know who I mean!)

Anything featuring the Eagle Nebula deserves a look!  :-D
Great title - lovely graphics - interesting concept.

So even if it isn't quite what you originally had in mind, it's looking very good already!

Wait... Draco is a good guy?!  :grin:

Could this be the first game to feature IECDs (Improvised Explosive Culinary Devices)?

Anyway, I like the look of this so far.  All the best with development of the game!  ;-D

"I want you to explain to me, in your own words,  the overarching plotline and characteristics of the Oceanspirit Dennis mythos."

An instant classic!  ;-D :-D

Gorgeous artwork as always.

Looks good.  I take it there will be a suitable number of DuckTales references in this?!  ;D

Cool idea.  I shall endeavor to craft prose of a purple nature!

Congrats budgerigar!  ;D ;D

I always suspected there was something not quite right about that Mario person...  ::)

Ah man... the other 2 entries were great, I feel bad not voting for Sane but honestly I loved the exploration of one of those poor critters who get bounced to death by the fat Italian plumber, so I'm voting for budgerigar this time.

(Oh and I hadn't read the rules properly, Eric's rules did say something about Wally from Monkey Island so clearly computer game characters are allowed!  ;D)

Love the graphic style, and agree that the font needs to be darker.  All the best with development!!

I am finished. Sorry for choosing something you don't know about. This is based off of Lewis Carol's (The maker of the "Alice in Wonderland" book.) poem: "The Hunting of the Snark."

I'm sorry for knowing about something you were sorry about me not knowing about.  ;D ;D

@ budgerigar - clever, I liked it - although I'm not completely sure Super Mario Bros counts as a work of literature?!?  ;D :P :P

Okay, knocked something quick and stupid together:




It all started when there was an announcement that 2 hitchhikers had been detected.  It had been a rather boring voyage until then  As Vogons we tend to get that sort of thing a lot â€" we go to blow up a planet and the stupid inhabitants always try to claim they knew nothing about it, even though the plans are always on plain display mere light-years away.  These earthlings moaned very loudly, probably because they were all wearing digital watches.

Still, one of the earthlings we captured was quite nice â€" he actually took an interest in me and my career.  I explained that the hours were good and I liked the shouting and stomping, and he admitted that I was indeed very good at the shouting.  I almost felt sad to throw him into the airlock.  It did make me wonder about my role on the ship, and whether I should aspire to greater things, even become a captain â€" but then I realised that no, decision-making and writing poetry just wasn’t for me.  I settled back into the routine of stomping down the corridors, randomly shouting at things.  Resistance, it seemed, really was useless.

I heard afterwards that due to quantum mechanics, infinitive improbability and Brownian motion facilitated by a really strong, hot cup of tea that the earthling had been picked up by The Heart of Gold, Zaphod Beeblebrox’s ship â€" at least, his ship after he ran off with it.   I had a cousin who worked on that ship and had installed a big red button on it, only no-one knew what it would actually do â€" I wonder if they ever found out? 

The strange thing was that one day when I attended a party in which some scientists used a machine to make the hostess’ underwear jump 2 feet to the left (and her outerwear 2 feet to the right), quantum mechanics going badly wrong in the unskilled hands of someone who’d been imbibing a Pan-Galactic Gargleblaster sent a wave of infinite improbability hurtling towards me and I ended up millions of years in the future at the car park of some restaurant.   I was met there by an android.   I’ve never had very much to do with androids, but I hope they’re not all as depressing as this one â€" he did nothing but moan about having been abandoned and having to wait for millions of years.

I did bump into one of my music icons whilst there at Milliways (the name of the restaurant) â€" it was a bit unfortunate really, Hotblack Dessiarto literally bounced off my stomach down several flights of stairs.  He really didn’t look very healthy at all.  His bodyguard looked tough, but he wasn’t stupid enough to take on a vogon.  In an attempt to make things up to him, I found his ship and installed a button that said “Do not under any circumstances press this button”, or something like that â€" we vogons have a penchant for installing buttons on space ships that are either useless or dangerous, don’t ask me why.

Before the fun happened â€" the end of the universe or something â€" another wave of infinite improbability hit me, just as I was about to eat a rather nice cow who kept recommending choice cuts of herself to me â€" a bit odd, but it was nice to meet a meal that wanted to be consumed.  I found myself back on the vogon constructor ship, and back to that awful Ventrassi catering…

Oh well, there’s always some more stomping and shouting to do!  “Resistance is Useless!”, I yelled, only for some creatures called the Borg to attack us and proclaim that resistance is not in fact useless, it is futile.  And you know what?  It really is…

Just call me 5 of 12.  Or “Hugh”, if you like.  Just don’t read any poetry to me…

Awesome!  I almost wish I hadn't played the beta builds already so that I could experience this as an entirely new game  ;D

I'm certain people will enjoy this one, you've put so much work into making it top quality.
