Isn't that technically a machine?

There are timed puzzles on Monkey Island?
I can think of only two (sort of), the one with the idol underwater on SOMI, and the spit one in LeChuck's lair on MI2. And that first one is a joke, and the second one has an unlimited amount of time (since it repeats every time the time runs out).

Yeah, there's a bunch of them: mugs of grog, tailing the shopkeeper to the Swordmaster, opening the safe while the shopkeeper is gone...

Oh yeah. For some reason I always forget those puzzles exist.
I always did like how the mugs sort of melted quicker the closer you got to the destination. It acted as both a hint mechanism, and a sense of "just in time" urgency.

MDK is currently free on GOG.com.

(it's used in the timed puzzles in Monkey Island).

Angry Video Game Nerd the Movie?

1) The basics are that the sprites needs to have the alpha transparency already set up in in the picture before you import it. So in other words, you'll want to use .PNG files.

2) I don't think there are any limits sprite-wise for alpha transparency to work. Except of course that the game has to be in 32-bit.

3) You won't lose anything switching from 16-bit to 32-bit, but you may have to re-import all of the sprites and backgrounds. That can take quite a while, but it's quite easy to do, since you can just export every image and then re-import them.

Whoa, that has got to be by far the best 3D render I've ever seen on this forum.

No please don't use Mediafire... .

What's wrong with Mediafire?

copious scenes involving gratuitous

Timesplitters?

And after you've done all of that, convert it to 256 colours using GIMP or something similar. I recommend GIMP, because it adds a nice dithering effect that reminds me of those old scanned in backgrounds on Sierra and LucasArts adventure games. Of course most programs will add dithering when lowering the colour count to 256 colours, but I prefer the way GIMP does its dithering effect.

The result should be something that looks similar to a background from the old SCI games, but probably a little better, since those backgrounds used slightly less that 256 colours, since some colours were reserved for characters or menus.

Hmm, now that you bring it up, I would like to know too. Well that and would it be possible to reverse the compilation process to read these comments?
And also, would we be able to lower the size of the game by deleting all comments before compiling?

Although they couldn't remember

Warcraft?

That is absolutely gorgeous. How long did it take you make that!
I especially love how you've rendered it in such a way that it looks like a photograph of a small toy.

the ability was forgotten

Willow?

Oops, forgot about this one.

Damn, me too. I didn't even vote!

Sorry about that. Congratulations to the winners though.

The built-in thing in Windows that keeps changing names.

This and common sense.

And an ad-blocker, and that no-script thing.

clitoris in the world.
