I'm going to keep this open to tonight, I think at least all the participant should vote..

Old post, but It's still valid for me.

Same here, I have always had this with all my mouses. First one was a Razer copperhead and now a Mionix Naos 5000.
It's weird it gets mouse acceleration even though I don't have it on in any drivers.

A long time ago(a couple of years ago), when I first noticed it I read it have something to do with allegro. But since it was such a long time ago it would probably been fixed by now.

@loominous: I have no clue, I have just been kinda lazy and copy and pasting from previous BB's. I dunno when it was changed and it was so long since I entered any BB, so didn't notice it was changed..

I agree, functionality probably is what keeps it from being an ordinary illustration.
Hopefully someone decide to take it in again next round.

Great entries guys!
I haven't got any requests for an extension, so let's start voting people!

Ill keep the voting up for ~24hours.

Categories to vote on:

Idea: Was it an original/creative interpretation of the theme?
Atmosphere: Was an interesting world created? - Did the scene evoke a feeling?
Design: How well the individual elements are designed, from clouds to doorknobs.
Composition: How well the elements are combined to create a pleasing whole, and lead the viewer to the points of interest. This also includes the background's in-game functionality (hotspots, walkable areas, etc.)
Technique: How well it's rendered (within the chosen style!), in no way meaning the more elaborate the better.

I just played this game(I know, I'm slow) and I think it was awesome! Great atmosphere, fun characters(especially the fish and moose) and entertaining dialogues.

Thanks all!

@Sslax This background isn't for JOI, only an BG blitz entry. But we should have an update soonish.
