@Sinitrena Try to take on that knight, and you'll get more than "just a flesh wound".

I look forward to the other entries.

Maybe for one of the upcoming Background Blitz or Sprite Jam competitions, in memory of ProgZmax, it should be a theme based on one of the things he liked in life.

Damn.  So many great people dropping these days, be it cancer, COVID, or worse things.

He'll be missed indeed.

@Klatuu HA HA!  Well played.

@ToeKnee Um, shouldn't coloring ball entries stay within the boundaries?  Even if it isn't expressly stated, I figured it'd be implied.

Got my entry ready finally.

I decided to go with a simple junkyard.  At least, this is my attempt at one.

Spoiler

I sure hope that Internet Archive links work.

Hooray!  Our first entry!

And I like this one too!

[You may:]

Coloring Ball: Monster Egg Discovered

A group of explorers have returned and found a strange egg belonging to some large mythical creature.

What do you imagine it looks like?



Pick one of the egg-shapes and decide what the monster egg might be like.

Trophies:
1st Place Sinitrena
2nd Place Klatuu
3rd Place ToeKnee, by default (even though he didn't stay within the shape, I didn't want the trophy to go to waste.)

(I know, the shapes are kind of big, but I didn't want the shapes to be too small.)

@Slasher
The title screen makes me think of a Case Closed (JP: Detective Conan) episode.  Still cool, though.

Starting to look like a cool competition so far.

[literal]

I'm kinda working on my own stuff... but I'd chuckle if someone made a game that starred a literal white elephant (anthro or otherwise).

Dang!  Someone was skilled to make this Game Maker game LOOK like an AGS game in a sense.

With all this horror involved... where's Trilby when you need him? 

It works fine for me.  That's weird.

Anyway, yeah, the lamppost is meant to look kinda rusty, with a broken bulb.

[Update] I reuploaded the pic on Flickr in hopes it'll make it cooperate.

Welcome back, Ponch!  And this sounds like a game that should bring on the hilarity that Barn Runner is known for... with perhaps a touch of Leisure Suit Larry (or, in this case, maybe Passionate Patti?).

I was able to whip up this quick one.



For this, I have a ruined road with a broken lamppost, and some city ruins in the distance, with a polluted twilight sky.

I wanted to include some grass blades popping out of some parts of the road, but that'd take a bit more time that I have.

Anyway, here's what I have.

Um, the deadline... did you mean "July 7th?"

Maybe he meets a zombie version of the school bully, Spider--brought back to life by Dr. Die Vie Ess.

A random thought had come to me.

What if Willy Beamish (a lesser known adventure game character) visited Reality-on-the-Norm?  Just a random thought, but perhaps something to get those ideas going.

Even though the Genre Shift theme in MAGS is long past, it still has my gears turning...

In fact, that could be a great "sub-section" for the Adventure Related Talk & Chat.  Like, if the adventure game series were genre shifted to other game genres, or other game genres (like platformers, etc.) got genre-shifted to point n click adventure games.

Here's one to start things out... Sonic the Hedgehog... be it the official games, fan games, SatAM, AoSTH, Sonic Underground (some actually like that), and so forth.

How would you imagine it genre-shifted into a point 'n' click adventure?

To start out with, the first game in Master System/Game Gear.  How could you imagine it as a point'n'click adventure?  I mean, unlike the 16-bit counterpart on the Genesis (Mega Drive in Japan and Europe), the Chaos Emeralds were lying out in the stages, so I could see possible adventure game potential in that (solving a puzzle or problem to reach each one).

Any input on the thought?  Again, a "genre-shift" sub-section for the Adventure Related Talk & Chat could definitely get the gears going for discussion in the forum, and I thought this'd be a good way to get things started.

I'm still around! It might be fun to do an online-style course.

Awesome you're still around!  Maybe you could do an updated version of your Adventure Game Studio videos from YouTube for an Udemy class.  It'd be cool to see Sammy again!   

Now we just need the Spam vikings!

I take it that's a codpiece? That used to be a normal clothing item around the 16th century, I believe.

Methinks the codpiece got a bit cold.
