Great to hear you're making such rapid progress! Really looking forward to this game...

Hey, that's really cool!

I rerolled several times, but this one seemed inspirational.

Yeah. I'd play that

Yay! Congrats to my fellow winners!

Well, damn ... looks like I simply won't have enough time to commit to this :'(
So sadly I'm pulling out as well.

And I already had this funky bit of code written and all!

Code: AGS

//-------------
// Septimal, determine the current day of the week
// ------------
int CurrentDayNumber = 0;
String CurrentDayName;

function InitDayOfWeek()
{
  DateTime *Today = DateTime.Now;
  int CurrentY = Today.Year;
  int CurrentM = Today.Month;
  int CurrentD = Today.DayOfMonth;
  int DayTable[12];
  DayTable[0] = 0;
  DayTable[1] = 3;
  DayTable[2] = 2;
  DayTable[3] = 5;
  DayTable[4] = 0;
  DayTable[5] = 3;
  DayTable[6] = 5;
  DayTable[7] = 1;
  DayTable[8] = 4;
  DayTable[9] = 6;
  DayTable[10] = 2;
  DayTable[11] = 4;
  String DayName[7];
  DayName[0] = "Solday";
  DayName[1] = "Moonday";
  DayName[2] = "Tiwazday";
  DayName[3] = "Wodansday";
  DayName[4] = "Thorsday";
  DayName[5] = "Frigaday";
  DayName[6] = "Saturnday";
  if (CurrentM < 3) {
    CurrentY--;
  }
  CurrentDayNumber = (CurrentY + CurrentY/4 - CurrentY/100 + CurrentY/400 + DayTable[CurrentM - 1] + CurrentD) % 7;
  CurrentDayName = DayName[CurrentDayNumber];
}

Ah well, maybe I can find some time soon to partake of a MAGS...

Damn, with all these big guns joining in the fun, this is going to be some tough competition

It's what random beardy Dutchmen do

SO looking forward to this one

I think Chewbacca will get a close shave...

Just one thing... if we do one day make a game with this name, does that disqualify it from the contest? 

Nah!

[320 x 240]

For the next Background Blitz I want you to do something a little different, namely:

The rules and regulations for this blitz are as follows:

• Resolution must be 320 x 240
• You can use any number of colors
• It must clearly be the title screen to an imaginary game
• User interface elements like buttons etc. are optional
• The name of your make-believe game must be generated by the Video Game Name Generator. You are allowed to 're-roll' your random name until you find one that inspires you

MAJOR brownie points if you also make an in-game mockup screen to go with your title screen!

And most importantly: have fun with it!

Whoooo! Thanks guys & gals.
I'll start thinking of the next Blitziness...

I would like to have seen that!

[Kastchey]

Difficult choice as I like entries by both Jwalt and Kastchey ... but my vote goes to:

Kastchey

Frankly I don't think the rules should be discussed at all: Cat is organising this OROW, she's calling the shots. If something is unclear: ask. If you don't like the rules: there's many other activities to enjoy.

I really like your second design, calicoreverie. Not a huge fan of the font you used for "copyright 2013..." but the rest is pretty sweet!

@Miez. The top half is very nice, but I'm not overly keen on the army of cups in the bottom half.

Good point ... I have an idea for the lower half, making it less "legion of cups" and a little more playful. I'll show it when I have some time to cobble it together.

[Awakening]

Congrats to my fellow contributors, there's things I like in each of your backgrounds!
But here are my votes...

Atmosphere: Awakening - The scene certainly makes me curious; who places a portal at the end (start?) of a roller coaster, and what lies beyond the portal?

Composition: jWalt - the composition is a little lop-sided to the right, but in this case it gives the whole scene a certain interesting uneasiness.

Functionality: Awakening - I think jWalt's BG works better as a cutscene BG, and Awakening's BG would work better in a 'conventional' PnC manner.

Technique: Awakening - I really like the 'cut paper' type look - it's consistent and pleasing to the eye.

Makes perfect sense to me...
