Grok, I think Mad said

... world domination!

not world DETONATION! But I like it though .

Damn it! I always get those two mixed up.

@selmiak   Only when I've changed into my blue leotards in a telephone booth
@Myinah   Thanks.  It does a bit

Here you go

Impressive! Do you think you could add this to Game Jolt? =]

It took a bit of time for me to get around to it, but it is added now.
Thank you for the invite, the encouragement and the nice reception.

I'm so stuck.

Thank you, all participants and voters, for making this a very nice Jam.

Shared Third place	8 points	The Baron by Misj'      The Spectre by Cassiebsg

Congratulations Mad to the first place and the honor of organizing th next Sprite Jam.
I can hardly wait to see what you will come up with

And once again; great job everyone.

Last day for voting!!!!!

The spotter doesn't seem equally excited about this prospect though.

The spotter has the potential to be a really interesting character.
Looking forward to see what you will come up with.

Grok...A very nice trailer that fits the silent era film setting of the game and also shows off its many and varied features!

Thanks

And not to forget; the pretty amazing music by Handsfree

Made a trailer for the game an posted it on YouTube.

I have made a new animation, though this time I used a slightly different approach compared to the sniper's death animation.

Which method looks best?

The spotter-animation is smother but I think the snipers animation tells the story better, which I think is the more important thing.

In both animations the character falls like a tree, while in reality they would fall more like a puppet that has its strings cut.
Something more like this;



(GIMP with a combination of copy-paste-rotate and redrawing)

By putting longer show time on the the first and last frames of the animation you get a better feeling for how this type of animation will look in action.

Time to Vote

We have a good turn out to this jam. A lot of entries, and very good entries at that.

An excellent job everyone.

The entries are

1. The Baron

2. The Salesman [imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/2L4gODr.png[/imgzoom]

3. Bonesy

4. Lord Crimson with Henchbot 1.0

5. Spectre [imgzoom]http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/ww258/Cassiebsg/BSG78/Specter_Front_Final_Small.png[/imgzoom]

6.Head Lock

7. Cain

8. What the Hell

This is how you vote.

You may vote for first, second and third place.
A first place vote is worth 3 points,
a second place vote is worth 2 points and
a third place vote is worth 1 point.

Most points win. In case of a tie for first place I'll use my casting vote to decide the winner (and host of the next jam).

Last day for voting is October 8.

Nice entry Amayirot Akago. I can feel that evil eye

This is the last day of the Jam. Anyone more who wants to show of a villain, boss or henchman, this is the time to do it.

I find this Scorpion creature, uh, highly attractive!   



I give you Head Lock, the antifreeze-addicted robotic assassin, who is not alone at the bar because of his menacing appearance, but because of his paralyzing social anxiety disorder.

Thanks

That's a Cool(d) Character. 

Yol and Blondbraid;  Thank you

The upload now holds an updated version (done by Handsfree) that addresses many of the issues raised in this thread. It's a more polished version but not any big changes.

I could use a hint at that part as well 

Spoiler

Just don't get the mirror code, looked up morse code charts and those don't seem to match... I assume it's its own code?

Spoiler

On the table with hats there is a price list for costumes. On that list you can find the serial of codes that are used, hidden. If i.e. you get a 2-1-1 knock from the door guard, you should answer with the next knock sequence on the list, 1-2-3

So....due to a real-life crisis over the 4 days holiday

(The hospital thingy was nothing life-threatening but did involve a ride in an ambulance. My wife was the patient. Like I said: nothing potentially fatal, but a great deal of soul-wrenching pain both to experience for her and to watch for me...PAIN SUCKS!!!)

Sorry to hear about that. I hope everything has turned out well for your wife in the end.

@ Uziel
Thank you. We appreciate your support.

@ Cat
Thank you.

I totally agree with you on the sound track. The music HandsFree has made does a great job of creating the atmosphere of the game.

An update is on the way, taking care of the response to looking at objects thing and some other stuff. 

I finished the game. Is there more than one way to finish? I never encountered the room with the second screenshot.
