Grinds my gears when people say the moon is not made of cheese.. It is, a man down the pub told me so it must be true 

I can verify that claim. I've had some moon cheese before. It almost tastes like Wensleydale.

I hope that this doesn't end up becoming the next big dumb thing everyone starts believing in.
Also, +10 internet points for anyone who got my reference.

You forgot the gash in Jason's mask. Unless of course your intention was to make the mask from Part 3.
Otherwise, very nice.

Welcome to the forums guyNullVal.
I remember doing the same thing back with AGS and Game Maker at that time as well. I guess I just stuck with it. 
Good luck with your endeavors.

How is it that the western world is even back to entertaining these opinions at all? Mind blowing.

I KNOW!!! To think that, in 2020, there are still people who believe that the Earth is a globe!

This is something that flat earthers actually say to try and "cleverly" turn the tables on "globers". And, yes, they call us "globers", or "globetards".

I honestly believe that flat earthers started from someone trolling, and it just got so out of hand that some people actually started believing the trolls.

I have never played a multiplayer game in my
life. I far prefer single player. Call me sad, but that's me. 

I'm basically the same. While I don't particularly mind multiplayer games, I honestly can't stand playing online with random strangers. (Which unfortunately most games are geared towards nowadays.)
But it's always fun to play with friends or family, so I merely managed to get a couple of laptops together, and played it with my brother and sister.
But still, give me a proper singleplayer experience any day. (There's a reason why I love adventure games so much.)

'Dishonoured' by what I saw on you tube is far too fast and furious for me. I'd probably get my fingers tied
in knots trying to inplement all the different moves.

You can play Dishonored without using any of the powers. It's not too difficult either. Although as everyone has said before me, the stealth mechanics are a lot more basic than they are in the Thief series.
I suppose at the end of the day, there's nothing quite like Thief. 

"Hey, look Sora! A lucky emblem."

Thank you. I'm almost proud of it

Fair warning though, I wouldn't offer to work on a remake of Maniac Mansion in that style if I were you. Night of the Meteor is proof of the sheer amount of work such a task would involve.

I know. I planned to make some short "tribute" game but still - I have some professional obligation and bills to pay. Notheless I feel wind in my sails and keep on drawing in spare time and make some short animation. As it's all "compatible" with the style I use on daily basis I probably reuse backgrounds and characters from time to time in my kid music videos as something completly different It's my personal goal: reimagine all the locations from Maniac Mansion, make some fanarts and if possible, animate it. I've storyboarded some of the sequences.
If there are some maniacs (what a cheesy pun ) who would like to turn my artwork into game it's always wort to try. Failure is not the worst things in life

Ooh, I like those videos.
As for a short tribute game, I'd recommend posting on the Maniac Mansion Mania forums, they'd probably love to help.
If you fail to find anyone though, and you've got a great idea you want to get out, I honestly don't mind putting it all together for you in AGS.
Good luck, and continue with these awesome animations! 

Or maybe The Dark Mod? I think you'd enjoy those a lot more if you wanted a newer Thief experience.

I like Thief and I tried this a few months ago, and to me it all felt a bit wrong (mechanically).
The closest thing I've played is Neon Struct, although inconsistencies with the audio levels let it down a bit.

Yeah, The Dark Mod does feel wrong mechanically. My father hates it because of that. But I got used to it, and so did my sister. I completely understand what you mean though.
I've never heard of Neon Struct though, I'll have to give that a shot.
Also, for one last suggestion, Thievery.  It's a mod for Unreal Tournament, that provides a multiplayer Thief experience. If you think The Dark Mod feels wrong, you're going to absolutely hate Thievery. But it is a surprisingly fun multiplayer game, despite it's clunkiness.

your nose can’t block a sneeze.

Actually, I have a success rate of about 80% sneeze blocking, if I close my mouth and nose... And 10% of those that I can't block, end up being an "inside" sneeze, cause my nose and mouth are still closed.  The rest are those that just come way too fast for me to react and do anything about it. 

+1
Actually, it's my preferred form of sneezing. It's much cleaner. Although, quite uncomfortable.

No, I don't think anyone here can beat LimpingFish's "score" 

I don't know if it counts, but I'm fairly sure I've played more games than LimpingFish owns on Steam.
Although my Steam list is nowhere near that close (but I do know someone who knows someone who has closer to 10,000).

There is no way I would buy the game again and so have decided not to bother

Good choice. Have you played any of the Dishonored games? Or maybe The Dark Mod? I think you'd enjoy those a lot more if you wanted a newer Thief experience.

If anyone would be interested in remaking Maniac Mansion game in this style (it resembles DOTT a bit but this is the way I draw on daily basis at work too) I'm open for collaboration.

Firstly, that artwork is simply incredible. I'd love to play a remake of Maniac Mansion that looked like that. 
(Someone should really do an official HD remake one of these days.)

Fair warning though, I wouldn't offer to work on a remake of Maniac Mansion in that style if I were you. Night of the Meteor is proof of the sheer amount of work such a task would involve.

Thanks for this, I'll definitely give it a watch. 

If Barbwire asked for it to be removed permanently, my only question would be...why?

I'm going to be "that guy" and say that if you've ever played that latest Thief game having played any of the previous three games beforehand, then it's obvious why you'd want it removed permanently.

Beautiful background!

Indeed. That's a gorgeous piece of artwork. I can't stress that enough. 

Count Duckular?

It's going to be weird finally seeing this game complete. I honestly can't wait. 

They were such bad artists back then, they drew dogs like horses. 
Even though that's clearly a joke, it's actually surprisingly not that far from the truth. As the "leopards" on coats of arms, look more like lions.

The Real Ghostbusters?

Glad to hear this is still being worked on.
I remember when I first encountered the original Sleuth. It looked and sounded brilliant. But it's age certainly didn't do it any favours in terms of playability.
Your remake sounds like it's going to fix everything wrong with the original. 

In the character tab, under the movement heading in the properties window is an option called "MovementLinkedToAnimation", set that to false.
You'll have to mess about with the movement speed and animation delay a bit, but it should sort out all of your jerkiness problems. That's what I do on all of my games.
