And in case you don't know who I'm talking about. George Romero died on the 16th of July.

While admittedly I don't know of any of his work other than his Of The Dead series. You've got to admit that the guy did make some pretty good films. Night of the Living Dead is not only in my opinion the best film he made, but also the first film with zombies as we know them in it. If it wasn't for Romero, the zombies we know today would probably be called vampires (since that's what they were called in I Am Legend, of which Romero based his zombies on).

May he rest in peace... and hopefully not come back as a zombie, thus bringing about the zombie apocalypse.

yet notice them happening.

Math Blaster?

Baltoon is some peaceful creature who lives on upper parts of mountains.
They are too shy (and too busy with holding hot air inside their head) to talk and will blow strongly to fly fast if you get close to them.
They can fly by with holding their breath and heat air up.

Reminds me of the enemies from Bomberman.

Also, while I know that the eepuot are supposed to be referencing Trump, I can't help but notice the similarity to an episode of The Simpsons as well.

Try Godot then. Free and works on low specs pc too.
And maybe you should try starting from some simple ideas to make.

There's also Engima. Which is basically a free opensource clone of Game Maker.
Also, doesn't Game Maker have a Lite version that you can use?

A Haunted House?

Not really a surprise... might bring some interesting new dynamics to the character, we shall see!

Well, how the writing portrays her will be interesting..

.. or it may not be interesting at all.

It all remains to be seen really...

Missy was pretty good (not as good as the previous Master, but honestly who could top that), so I have high hopes.

If you are going for a medieval style, you can also add small drawings of wild animals and fairytale creatures on the map,
it's a fun way to fill in the blanks and add some flavor to the world. For example, look at the famous Piri Reis map:

I think that just goes to show how much spare time map makers had back then... or how bored they were.

Will the 2x1 pixel still work in AGS? I mean, can you make sure that the character always stays "on-grid"?

Well if you set the speed of the character to a multiple of 2, then yeah. It should stay "on-grid". At least in theory.
Personally though, I wouldn't mind such mis-matched pixels. And I doubt anyone would notice in this case anyway.

Congratulations everyone.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with for the next contest Tycho.

And yes, I know that they aren't perfect - I would normally spend much more than 1 hour on a bacground I just wanted a quick mock-up to compare styles.

I find it incredible that you made something that good in an hour. I can't make a background half as good as that with twice as much time.

As for which one I prefer. I personally prefer the 1x1 type, but that's probably because I like my graphics to be as good as possible, despite being a strong advocate of graphics not mattering.
But if you want to go for an authentic AGI style, which it seems like you do, I would go for the 2x1 type.

In that particular image the protagonist in 2x1 looks like a bare-breasted woman!

Looks more like Super Saiyan 4 Goku to me.

Nope. Never have, never will.

Is vaping any healthier than smoking? A friend of mine says you can get vape with no chemical additives in it - essentially just vapour. I guess you wouldn't get a buzz, but at least the physical motions of smoking would still be there.

Well based on my completely uneducated opinion, I would say that vaping isn't as bad as smoking, because you won't get tar on your lungs. That being said, breathing in anything that doesn't belong in your lungs can't be a good thing.

If you aren't funny, please stop trying. There's nothing cringier than an unfunny developer that won't stop trying.

In other words, Al Lowe.

I encourage everyone who haven't played Sierra titles for the same reasons to finally give it a shot. You'll be surprised how fun they are!

I'm one of those people... sort of. I actually have tried giving them a shot, but only got so far as the beginning. Because damn they're hard games. Still, with a walkthrough and a few hours each day, I'm sure I could complete them all.
I just need to do it one of these days.

Also, welcome to the AGS forums Izera.

And it's a female!!! Jodie Whittaker. I really was picky about when female would take the role. But I like this one!!!

Interesting. It's about time we got a female doctor. Now here's hoping she can act the part.

I bet the new one is a lesbian. That would make all the SJW scream with joy

The Doctor's sexual preference has always confused me anyway.

Dark City?

If no one is against it, we could extend the deadline to the 24th to help selmiak and anyone that didn't have the time to finish up their works.

I'm all for it. We could use some more entries, and it seems like most people want to spend a bit more time working on their backgrounds.

The Burbs?

due to their hooves
