society's ok once you get her a bit drunk

Excellent!

I respectfully request that Corey is ejected from the premises. Forcibly if required.

Everybody else, thank you! awesome! I love you!

jesus christ, how can every single entry so far be good? How the hell will I pick a winner here? Thank you all for submitting entries! You make me feel so happy and frustrated because my original version is worse than probably all of these!

man, it's going to be difficult to decide on a winner if the entries keep being hilarious like this

haha this is great! Better than the actual script!

Hello. We used to do this back in the old days, now we are going to do this again. Here's a comic page I drew:



You guys write in the dialogue, anything you want, feel free to add or substract from the number of balloons, or change their sizes or whatever. The entries will be judged either on hilarity (if such an effect is attempted, intentionally or not) or all-around awesomity.

Maybe in the end I'll post my original version too if you guys are interested. There is no reward for the winner besides everybody else thinking they're swell guys. If this goes well, we might do it again in a week, god knows, I have too many comics I could upload.

Let's go!

Why, yes, let us compare daggers!



Here I am keeping tabs on your mom in the past. My beautiful legs are only second to hers.

This IS the RON canon

I JUST 2K A HUGE DUMP!1!!!1

If you guys can't deal with discussion on the game, then don't ask us to discuss it!

Sorry, but I don't recall asking for opinions on the game or story - only if the image constituted vulgarity.

I'm sorry, you won't find people doing 'yes/no' type of answers on such topics in this forum. it's a very loaded question, it's not 'do you like my hair?' We like to discuss, much more when the topic is about sexuality, religion, politics, generally things everybody has strong (and arbiterate! whee!) opinions about. Anything posted in this thread is really fair game for discussion and critique. This is good, not bad, in my opinion. But if it doesn't suit you, I can only chalk this one up to not knowing what would happen. Now you know. This isn't a strictly moderated forum for off-topicness and the like, nor is content controlled according to what the thread starter desires.

I don't have a problem with him having opinions, or even expressing them. I do have a problem with the manner and tone in which they were expressed.

Sure, be my guest to discuss this, just as long as you're aware how silly ad hominems look.

Big Brother comes across high and mighty in every single one of his posts, and this opinion LONG preceeds him making any comments directed at us. We were (at least I was) eagerly awaiting the inevitable time when that happened so we could tell him what we thought. Our friends who have browsed this forum since our game was announced, have even commented on the same thing with no prompting from us. He does unsolicited paintovers of people's work in the game in production thread, believes himself to be better than everyone in this forum. The name of their studio implies that they put more effort in than anyone else, and that they are the best.

I won't play big brother's advocate for long. I do know he comes off high and mighty in some cases, I've seen it happen myself, I just didn't think this was one of these cases. I find your eager anticipation for a time where you could attack ridiculous and very mean-spirited. The name-of-studio-is-herculean thing impresses me with the inventiveness of the approach of attack. What can I say, you seem to have given this one a lot of thought.

I'm personally amazed that he isn't insanely unpopular in this forum. And in that same forum people can get so vocal about a pair of damn boobs. To be honest the fact that he struts around unopposed is half the reaosn I've got so annoyed about this thread.

Deal with it. Big bother's not my favourite person, nor do I care for Apprentice and Apprentice II very much, but the lack of attacking him, annoying you just paints a very warped picture. I don't see the relation, I just see a beef between you and big brother.

Good job on drama queening your exit from this forum.

I don't see how big brother is coming off high and mighty. We're discussing what we think is relevant to discuss. I agree with big brother that the premise is thin; it doesn't stop me from possibly enjoying your game when it's done and out, but it's thin, what can we say? Leasure Suit Larry games have ranged from paper-thin to cardboard-thin in 20 years or something. They've got their audience, they HAVE once or twice touched upon interesting subjects that people would consider outside their range, it's all good. Doesn't mean everyone's cut out for a larry game, and it doesn't mean those that are not cannot criticize them for what they are.

And you know what? So what if we had just made this game as an excuse to get big breasts and a small nurse's outfit into the game.

If this IS or WAS the case, that's fine as far as I'm concerned. But it doesn't mean we cannot scrutinize it and be critical of it and all that goes with open discussion on the internet! We are not stopping you from making the game, we are not stopping you from arguing about it, MOST people here probably will download, play, and enjoy your game regardless of the discussion. So what's the problem? Just as long as we get the facts straight about your intention (you guys are the ones that have us talking about your intention, it didn't start off on it's own) then various opinions will always be ok.

All we're trying to achieve here is add another game to the pot of amateur adventure games available FOR FREE on AGS. For the community by the community. We should be supportive of each and every game here - we all have jobs, there are other things we could be doing with our spare time.

You misunderstand the concept of support. Support, for a free product such as your game, when it's done, entails people downloading, playing and if they like, spreading the word about it if they feel like it, and also telling you guys they liked it. This will happen of course. Support does NOT entail hushing out negative opinion about your game, nor does it entail blind acceptance of all aspects of it. If you guys can't deal with discussion on the game, then don't ask us to discuss it! Does this seem vulgar to me? No. But here are my thoughts about it. Does this seem vulgar to the other person? Yes. Here are her thoughts about it. Does it seem vulgar to third person? Third person finds the question wrong, here are his thoughts about it. This is how it goes.

So relax, don't attack big brother for having an opinion, and don't construe this discussion as either condemnation OR support for your game.

EDIT:

wow, don't 'pity' Squinky either, if you will. Seriously, relax, guys.

I loved the hyperliminal advertizing in the trailer. "you want... to play this game... 'cause it's good. I made it."

If it wasn't too cold and I had a body like hers, I'd kinda want to walk around wearing a tiny nurses uniform too.

No, no you wouldn't. The idea appeals to you, but you wouldn't. A smart person realizes the practicality of clothing over skin pretty soon. I walk around semi-naked around the house all the time, weather-allowing or not, but I am not very smart, and I catch colds all the time. And even a silly person like me never goes hicking in the woods barefoot.

Hi, Visti.I used Battery 2 for tracking.

I downloaded DFH Superior, 2 gigs version, but it appears it's only Cocktail and Percussionist set, not the Drummer config I really need, and I had trouble using it in Sonar 5, got kind of frustrated and decided to download BFD two dvd version and try that, I hear it has a very clean and inviting GUI that I think I'll need.

1987-caliber, edmundo. he's saying they LOOK like games from 1987. And he's mostly right.

So let's say this main character goes around the whole game (re)questing for a fine leather jacket-pants-boots-validation for her existence aside from being an excuse for cheap T&A, yet never getting any such. Fine, that'd be both funny (until it grew old) and playing on both preconcieved notions about (adventure) computer games, and validating them to degrees.

Still, to take it a bit further, a smart person would steal clothes that fit her if given the chance, and regardless of shame would instinctively go for clothes that cover herself because we have biological memory that urges us to seek protection from the elements... I'm not making this up, it's true, people like to not be cold all the time.

Basically, it's an adventure game, sure. It doesn't have to be a silly adventure game full of adventure-game-things, though.

Meshuggah are a post-thrash metal industrial-tinged band from Sweden. They're universally considered unique and a very able "musician's musician" kind of band. I prefer their older material, specifically None and Contradictions Collapse, while a lot of people prefer later material like Chaosphere or Nothing. If you like a degree of musical variation, go with the former stuff, if you like very mechanical repetition of the same riff while the drummer does interesting polyrhythms underneath, go with the latter.

I just took a huge dump.

I've read the bit of backstory that is the setup of your game. I'm pretty sure it will make for funny and/or thought provoking situation in places. It *does* seem as if during this thread, whereas initially the artist for this project said stuff along the lines 'well I like boobs so this is why I animate boobs, lol!' now it's more of the 'oh just wait, there is a reason for the boobs and the outfit and and' which does seem supicious. Also may I just be the first to guess you've constructed an elaborate eugenic backstory for the main character which would explain why she is built like she is. In a lab, or something? Well... anyway, the fact of the matter is, regardless of whether it always were there, now you say there's a story that - I find interesting, at least - to back up the boobs. This is good, in my opinion.

Of course it creates issues about how a very intelligent and resourceful woman would desire to walk around in an outfit that barely covers her (not due to shame, but due to exposure to the elements. She's barefoot in a forest in the first gameplay screen you posted). One could say 'bah, helm, you're going too deep with the premise!'. No, no I'm not. This is the first, very shallow question that comes to mind: why barefoot, why not wearing a jacket and a pair of pants to protect from the cold? If I were the main character in this adventure game, I'd look for pants and boots pronto. That is, right after quitting everything else and inspecting my female physique off-screen for a prolonged... duration...
