Orion Burger. Everybody always forgets about Orion Burger!



(I'm not entirely sure but it seems to be... abandonware.)

Bump!

This type of interface was most famously used by Legend- we actually used to call it the "Legend Interface".

Maybe it's the ghost realm? It sure is creepy that's for sure...

On the contrary! We have unicorns and rainbows here! And we float.
We all... float!

General Options allows you to set "Font designed for 640x480" under "Text Output"- this scales the font and also the outline. Not sure if it will help you at that high of a resolution, though. Apart from that there's really no way to change the outline, though you could create a custom font quite easily.

I like to lie on my front and put one arm down the side and touch the floor. Feel the coolness of the wall!

That sounds nice, but how does it compare to walking barefoot across a beach?

And another one: That little bit of milk you get when you're done with the cereal? It's delicious!

Undetected for that long? Guys, that's no planet, that's a ninja! Imagine the size of its throwing stars!

I made a Top Ten. Not in order. With silly little pleasures, you take what you're dealt.

Drawing, inking, colouring a picture.
Watching "The Big Lebowsky" with someone who expect the movie to have. a. plot.
When suitably hungry, the cat wakes me by sticking his nose into my ear.
Pan-fried panhas.
When it's cold and windy I have my personal banshee singing through the roof tiles.
Duck ramen.
Coffee, donut, cigarette. The trick is to dunk one into the other while smoking the third and not mixing up anything.
Rewatching Galaxy Rangers.
Comfy sofa, Discworld novel.
Podcasts. I've subscribed to about a dozen of them and sometimes they turn out highly entertaining. Beats the radio charts.

DAMN I WISH THIS WAS A GAME!!!
Your world-building is amazing Ghost! I sooooo want to go into this one!

Gee, thanks a lot Mandle! I did have a related game idea once (witches using dreams to make a monster understanding the world) but... well. Games. Some get made, some don't.

The worldbuilding is a lot of fun. And I enjoy the challenge to make it as real as possible. I like the idea that there are actual creatures out there involved in the crafting of dreams; it's fun to play with that. There's also one definite reason such a realm *has* to exist.
Setting something in a literal dream realm is a double-edged sword; you can really go crazy with the chaos of a dream, but you also want rules, something that the readers can take as granted. That's really Storytelling 101 but it's the one thing I always have in mind. You establish a fact, and then it must be consistent. That's why I do such a lot of background info, I feel it makes it easier to add detail. Every detail roots in general facts, and thus you make things work. That's also how "real stuff" gets into the mix. The average Wiki Walk (tm) can get you a ton of cool ideas.

It's not *that* different from writing an adventure game (laugh)

Tiny BUMP post: Almost a quarter in, and now there's actually some meaty post up, going into a bit more detail about the comic's world:

There's also a pictscha with many lines on it.

I second that, providing such a huge library is an incredibly generous move. Thanks for sharing your music, and making it available for free! I'm partial to the fantasy/nature tracks; there's some great stuff there!

Labyrinth was when I first saw the man and heard his music. And to this day I am convinced that he truly is some sort of fantasy goblin ruler. He clearly wasn't entirely human.

Most awesome trailer of a Dualnames platformer made in AGS in this century starring sworddude. Yet. (nod)

Seriously, this is looking better and better.

Yesterday saw the "first week" milestone, and today's post (http://ghost100daycomic.blogspot.de/2016/01/day-8-of-100-laire-and-some-comic.html) has a quick look at the character art).

And a lot about BONE. If you like comics, you could pick up the BONE omnibus and read it in the 92 day I need to finish this :D

A most musical mirth-day, mods!

His name is Moritz. My folks got him and his brother from an animal shelter when they were kittens, and Mo was kind enough to choose me as his can opener when his brother went awol some time ago. I've got more time on my hands and he likes being around people (mostly on their laps)
He's a highly trained cat and looks cute in every position (laugh)

I love your new project and I regularly check the blog now. I think not showing every scribble is ok (I want to enjoy reading the final comic after all) but I demand a photo of this:
My cat is currently sleeping on my stack of scribbles.

He moved but will you accept him on the sofa, shot in Doom-o-Rama FPS Vision (tm) ?

Look! He's posing!
