Just added the imgzoom onto my first post thanks!

Love your edit, the shorter jacket and longer legs definitely looks better. Also the goggle was a good shout too, does look a little odd on the original. Also your proof reading comment, the story of the game is in very early stages at the moment, but yes I planned on doing so once I had the full concept fleshed out

Thanks for your suggestions and critiques

Thanks for the feedback! The goggles were inspired by the goggles worn by the younger Frank in Pixar's Up


While my story is partially inspired by the film, it differs in that the child in question is discouraged by her parents to explore whereas in Up they all seem to be free to do so. Also the story is still in the idea oven and could be doing with a bit longer before I say any more

As for your editing suggestions, the goggle reflections is a good one. Will add that in a minute! The eye outline is tough one, as I actually quite like it! But I'll mess around in photoshop and see what I can do!

Hi guys,

I'm currently in the middle of developing a game (started out programming the engine myself plus it was a 2D puzzle platformer but I now feel that an adventure game is more suited to the story I want to tell) and I was wondering if I could get some comments and critiques on some characters on my game.

My first character is the main character Lexie Sarander. She is a fiery 8 year old girl from 1930s Portland, Oregon who yearns to explore like her great hero, Sir Earl McGuffin, and find new untouched lands. However she is stuck in city life, with parents (Callum and Theresa Sarander)that wish their daughter to become a ballet dancer like her three older sisters, Beckie, Macy and Tracey. On the night of a big show that she has been forced to practise for, she puts on her McGuffin branded jacket and explorer hat and runs from home to explore the forests near her town.

I am quite happy with the design but I feel that perhaps her stance is a bit... stiff? Any comments or constructive criticism is welcomed!

Reading this reminded me of the barbershop quartet shanty on COMI ... but obviously you have to write a song not cover it. och well


'A pirate I was meant to be,
Trim the sails and roam the sea!'

If only 'the hangover' hadn't been written  would fit this theme exactly I got nothing this time but maybe next time

Okay, voting is officially over! Due to the unbelievable 6-way tie, I have been put in the awkward position of choosing the winner.

I have decided that the winner is Sinitrena! Congrats! You now have the honour of hosting the next Writing competiton and choosing its subject matter!

Thanks to everyone who participated!
