[Best Plot:]

Best Plot: Gotta be DBoyWheeler for his spelunker mystery.
Best Mystery: Although there was an element of mystery to all the submissions,DBoyWheeler wins my vote for creating a creepy twilight zone style enigma.

Man, I didn't realize my story gave a Twilight Zone feel.  Thanks for the compliments, Baron.  And I thank kconan for his compliments, too!

I vote:

1st: Grok
2nd: Grundislav
3rd: Jwalt

I may have to subscribe to this newsletter.

[Update] Okay, I signed up, but haven't gotten that email with the link yet.

Or maybe something similar to the Evil Energy from Mega Man 8?

And I'm willing to bet Pokemon GO doesn't recognize it as a Pokemon Center either.

I saw what you did there.

Woo!  Congrats to the winners!

And hey, at least I get something for trying.  Um, how does a trophy appear in a signature?

[Edit] Nevermind, I think I got it.

Decided to make a quick entry.

This is what I like to call "one eff-ed up Pokemon Center"!



What were the construction workers on when they made this?  Probably something semi-legal, at best.

Remember, kids--crack is whack!  Say no to drugs.  And other Reagan-era slogans.

Looks like all the sad puppy-dog eyes in the world couldn't give my entry a vote...

If it makes you feel better, I didn't get a vote either.  But I still enjoyed the contest all the same.

1st: 8
2nd: 4
3rd: 3

Well, I'm kind of working on my own game (now that I've more or less worked out the kinks in the Verb Coin and the "special GUI")... but I guess I can help by giving a few hints of my own.

(1) Who says the monkey had to be the main character?  The monkey could be the sidekick of the main character.  Or at the very least an important NPC.  This could tie in with the giant banana--perhaps the sidekick needs the giant banana, or the otherwise important NPC asks for the giant banana, thus making it an important part of the quest.

(2) I can so see the poor transport idea as a sort of "mini game" (similar to the hovercraft bit in Space Quest 1), where you need to dodge obstacles to avoid crashing, sinking, what-have-you.

Anyway, just my two bits on the theme.  Good luck to all who enter this.

Dang.  So many to pick from.  Well...

I guess you can say people really fawn over him!

*rimshot*

Does it have to be about people?  What about an entry detailing the mass disappearance of Stupot+'s unfinished entries?

Oh no you didn't! 

Well, I decided to make an attempt at this.  Hopefully it does better than my attempt at the "Last Will and Testament" Writing Competition.

Yes, it is a bit on the short side, but I believe in keeping it simple and to the point.

A mild storm dropped rain at a camp, with one person within his tent.  But all the other tents were empty.  The young man, wearing hiking attire, had put his hat down to scratch at his black hair.  His pale gray eyes, open with concern of his missing comrades, looked on as he opened up a book he retrieved from his backpackâ€"this book happened to be his journal.

The one person wrote in his journal:

"Greetings, to whom it may concern.

"My name is Richter.  I am the sole person remaining of my spelunking groupâ€"originally a group of twenty.

"We had just discovered a new cave that opened up shortly after a small 3.5 earthquake.  It opened up in the mountains a few miles from my hometown.

"Curious, we all went to enter the cavern.  It only went in about thirty-five feet, before finding a strange mural on a wall.  It looked like a painting of an ancient island city over a large sea.

"We set up camp for the night to see more of the mural the next day.  But when I awoke, I saw the camp was empty, except for myself.  All the equipment and food was here, and the tents were still intact, but except for me, the camp was deserted.

"I went back into the cave, and saw the mural.  I was startled to see the mural show the city occupied--was the mural smudged at first, thus preventing us to see the people in the mural earlier?  Or perhaps... no, I must be going mad to even THINK that possibility!

"I have returned to camp safely, wondering why I am currently here, and not with my colleagues.  Are my companions playing a trick on me, or is there something sinister afoot?  I do not know.

"Finding my camp's contact radio, I signaled for help to come.  Perhaps they can help find out what became of my party.  Heaven willing, I will awaken the next day still here.  I must find out what in blazes is going on!  I am writing this page here in the event fate decrees otherwise, and this journal becomes the sole remaining witness of the events that occurred here."

After he finished writing, Richter put his journal away, said a silent prayer, and went to sleep in his sleeping bag, albeit a very light sleep.

This Fortnightly Writing Contest topic sounds cool--this could also double as a launching pad for a creepypasta! 

The Sirens formed an indie rock band. They were quite successful. Until the incident, that is.

"The incident"?  Do tell.

Well, at least you provided some "semi-SFW" screenshots, but yeah, thanks for the NSFW warning, and good luck with this game.

From the screenshots, it almost feels like an "updated" version of the really old Sierra game "Mystery House".

Anyway, best of luck to you in updating this.

Dang, Grok!  Where'd you find the inspiration for THAT?!

Pfft! (falls over laughing) Man, the centaur has a face as if to say "Is this 'jockey' enough?"
