Yeah, it's as 2ma2 said a while back. Warm colours foreground, cold colours background. The mountain seems too close. I had some real trouble with getting the perspectibe to show. So I sorta didn't. I maybe should add a few layers of grass between the foreground and the mountains, but I'm at a loss as to how do that.

Thanks for the critique and praise, everybody.

It's not all dodecatone. I found it very difficult to write 'groove' music using the restriction. So there's some freeform chromatics in there.

Pretty happy with it.

Excellent theme. Dodecatone music about robots it is, then.

thanks to God? that's all well and good, but not sure about including it there, and without giving any meaning (someone may take it seriously, someone may take it a joke, someone may be offended, etc).

If someone is offended by a person going 'thanks god!' in his game credits, then he deserves to be offended.

As to the game, downloading.

Why anybody else can't I don't know.

No person with even basic (and unbiased) historic training would ever say such a thing. The reason the  US is the one to step in and 'liberate' parts of the world is because it's the only country which is in the position to do so, -in economic and influential terms - since the fall of the Soviet Union. There's no global counterpoint to the US. imperialistic aggresiveness, since the UN has been to indecisive and not cohesive enough to act as such. This has resulted in wars in bosnia, serbia, afghanistan and now iraq (again). And in none of those countries, has there been eshtablished anything else than an 'fake' goverment after the US. intervention. Certainly no freedom has been given to the people. Merely a switch of the power structure so it's controlled by the US.

I mean, come on, let's not hide behind our collective finger.


Oh, and mister well-read historian, you said that if S.H. is removed from power, then that makes it all worth it. That's called "the end justify the means" and seems pretty totalitarian to me, esp. spoken by self-proclaimed well-read, cultivated fellow like you.

You see, I'm confused.

According to you, the absolute end is freedom, and nothing should be above it. So how come you're giving the freedom away so another end - the removal of S.H. from office - can be attained?

Isn't that a contradiction?

Trap, this war can easily turn to a new WW. And a new WW with nuclear bombs.


Now, thing about that for a while. Let it sink in.

Haha, this is great Rode! Good work! I love you

Have the transparent walls in as an opacity object! And make them solid when the player isn't obstructed by them, with some schnazzy scripting!

The power of helm compels you!

Hey volmel! Long time no see.

And notice there's not one dick to be found in this game! Neither are any lesbians or cuss words! HOW'S THAT FOR AVANT GARDE?

TRUE


Anyway, didn't get any far last night. Will try more today.

YES! DOWNLOADING NOW!

SOMETHING TELLS ME ERIC SAW THIS BEFORE EVERYONE ELSE

Great art, but what's with the destructive compression? I take it this was at some point clean pixel art. I'd like to see it like that, to comment more thoroughly. But tell concrats to your artist nevertheless.


Looking forward to it.


Edit: Oh, just read the first page  I understand now. I think some parts are a bit too blurry, but besides that, great art. Good luck.

Great work. The music was very fitting, the graphics old skool kewlness. I dug everything. The puzzles were to easy, but I considered this a plus, because it seemed to me, like the story flowed without any stumping. Great work. I loved your game. Even if you do not make anything else, this is enough for me to consider you one of the better members of the "I have made a game!" club.

Better than SOL

And you seem annoying and oddly annoying yourself.

Best AGS reference in a game. Ever. Best. Ever. Ever. Get. My. Point?. Ever. Best. Ever. AGS ref. Eren. Ever. Best. AGS.

Yakspit not alone,
For in Greece it is also,
Silly laughingstock.

Isn't that song about being drunk and shagging a goat and then throwing up on it while doing it?

I'm either pretty quiet, or pretty loud. Which depends on in what company I am. You'll see in Mittens.
