Last Year at Marienbad?

Considering AGS was started by Mr. Jones in 1997

Off-topic, but thanks for posting this today. Got m'self a free Steam key for The Cat Lady thanks to you!

I was thinking a rule of not posting more than once in a seven-day period might work. That way, the story doesn't necessarily stall, but everyone has a chance to jump in if they want to do so.

Brilliant work everyone, and fantastic trophy, kconan. I think what we've learned is that we need a regular, non-competitive round robin story writing thread.

I think this calls for a director's cut alternate ending!

What's it all about, AL (fe)?

That's Randolph Scott, so...Comanche Station?

Ugh...no! Dammit. That's Randolph Scott AND Joel McCrea. I know what movie this is, and it's not Comanche Station.

So in voting, I read through the compiled, attribute-less text, and made notes on which sections I thought were best of category, then went back to see who'd written them. Here were the results:

Character: Baron
Atmosphere: Ghost
Word Choice/Style: Stupot+
Plot Twist/Subplot: Baron
Plot: WHAM

To answer Stupot+'s earlier question, I genuinely didn't have a clear intention where the story would go. My goal in writing that first bit was to set a tone, introduce a character and a perspective, and to provide enough narrative questions that other folks would feel compelled to come along and answer them. In the back of my head, I suppose I was thinking something along the lines of Gerald being a pro assassin, Emory his handler, and that at some point by someone Gerald gotten burned on his current job.

Well done!

Looks fantastic! Downloading to try later this week!

The Mouse King attacks (a thin-headed) Clara, from the end of the first act of the ballet The Nutcracker.

it's got a more unified colorscheme).

FYI, something that occasionally works for me if I have trouble getting my colors to really mesh well together is to start a new PS layer, and overlay a solid, not very saturated color (which varies depending on the mood / environment / lighting situation) and set it to Overlay at a very small percentage of opacity (usually between 5-15).

Interestingly, I only looked at this thread on my phone before. It looks much better on the desktop. On the phone, the blade is more apparent, and the spinning doesn't happen at an even frequency.

My new question is: is this guy a pelican, or a pelican't?

If it's just starting or stalling, you'd be able to see the blade, but I think the easier and more real looking method is to use motion lines on a white circle....

Why does emboss filter exist in graphics software?

Instead of using it on images, use it on text. Some neat effects to be gained.

I also used it to create a stamped-foil look on this cover mockup:

Step 10: Great!  Finally a free moment.  Time to watch television on the internet.

This has been an essential step in my own process. Along with learn to draw / learn to draw better / realize the drawings you do now are better than the ones you did when you started / start over / learn to draw better / etc.

Funnily enough, Gerald was named after a Gerard -- I was catching up on Peep Show when I started this, and didn't correctly remember the name! I think we should also feature Mick Jagger's ex-wife Jerry Hall at some point.

I am still sad reading about the reason why Matt to the Future never became a full game, only a demo.

My heart, she is broken.

I'm curious as to the current state of Asher and Covling.
