fonts aren't necessary?!?!

BUT BUT BUT!!!

BEST FONT EVER!!

follow closely by

yea i think the zine how it is now has tons of personality

mmm yes yes.. very interesting.. oh patrols? oh the drive is shitty yea isn't it...

* MrColossal breaks into Lucasarts

try using as many primary colours as possible, i don't really stress over getting the exact colours cause i can just floodfill and change whichever i want to whichever colour i want

just sayin'

yak, yea jess is fucking amazing............. damn her

and if those images are too nude for your work ([i thought you were a security guard? damn if there's ever a time to break into LA [not los angeles, they just let you in] it's when yak's on duty) then i won't show you the other stuff!

and yes go with wacom definetly cause i got an Aiptek the thing is freakin huge and wicked cheap but the pressure sensitivity is in the pen and not the bad so it gets real wobbly sometimes

and the program is shitty the pen jumps around all the time and stops working [i have to shake the pen like it's out of ink, gimme a break there's no ink in a digital pen... i checked!! TWICE!] and it takes a battery unlike wacom

commatoes had started something like this a loooong time ago, back when scid used to talk to us

it was a soap opera

and now it's dead

and so is scid*

eric

*no i'm just kidding**

**i reanimated him

size shouldn't matter really and a wacom would be your best bet

my girl has a graphire i believe hang on

oooh sapphire blue

this isn't the one my girl has, she has a Graphire 2

but this one is 100 dollars and the size of the tablet doesn't mean you're restricted to postcard sizes

that's here site filled with digital images she painted

so there you go

ok now that that's over with

end of july? how is that for people? eh eh?

well you could make a sprite sheet and try tile import

i don't know if CJ fixed it to it imports from left to right or not but it's a quick way to import a lot of sprites

or just make a sprite sheet like this:



then at least you can save a few clicks here and there

eric

but that confuses me

Spoiler

if he deserves to be grim reaper and the current reaper is doing it out of compassion why does he call the main character a fool for not taking him up on the offer? if i'm offering someone something out of the kindness of my heart i'm not going to insult them if they don't take it. and if he deserves to be grim reaper as some sort of justification for him as in not being grim reaper would make his life terrible... well chosing the other options are better endings than choosing the grim reaper option. he either writes books that become awesome or he dies and meets up with all the friends and family he lost. and just cause his books are big achievements in literature means he deserves to live forever and take souls away? maybe that's where J. D. Salinger is... But again, his books are huge and then he goes off and writes even bigger books if he turns down the grim reaper so wouldn't he deserve it even more? i'm terribly confused

and i'd vote for Martin Luther King Jr. over Mother Theresa, at least he was assassinated and didn't just die of being awesomely old

seriously, please stop...

man oh man i love pot pies...

meat pies always scared me cause they were orangey yellow and had meat in them... there was a place near my apartment in the city that sold all this jamaican food, i really shoulda tried it out it was called "Patty King" or something and they specialized in meat pies

hehe put it in your CD case or where ever you keep music then you'll never lose it, unless you hate music

hi vel how are you i'm fine...

first off i don't drink and secondly this game may be a drama but the story is so all over the place that it makes no sense.. for all the reasons i listed...

that's all you can say to my post that i may have been drunk or too happy? ooooook... fine.

Spoiler

i could have been the most depressed person in the world and i still would have no idea why the grim reaper would appear out of no where to the main character and offer a choice to be a grim reaper. it just makes no sense in the story.

yea mothafucka, i got me some site beyond site

hi, no, please not in this thread

heh i've had the same backpack since middle school... just recently i got a new pair of shoes after wearing them for close to 6 years... same jacket as i had in highschool and middle school....

i'm so low maintenance it isn't even funny

oh good lord, it feels like i did that so many times squinky...

but anyway, all beaten

the art is real nice and i agree with peaceman that the backgrounds could have used a little animation but other than that i love how far you're art has come

this game tricks you with the old lucasarts style of "Everything has a name but you can only interact with half of it" which leads to a more immersive environtment but a frustrated eric, maybe i'm just a bad adventure gamer but there were a few things in the game that i wanted to try but couldn't even thought they seemed logical.

Spoiler

like getting across the chasm, they say how one person used a log to get across so i tried cutting down trees but i couldn't and why oh why couldn't i open that other red door? hehe and where the hell did the turtle go? was he just hopped up on coffee and running around?

[close]

anyways it's a nice game and i like the repeated crotch biting [obviously] and the headless guys were awesome

woop woop

eric

ah my bad, i musta glazed over that bit, woop sorry

is it just me or did the right turning button for the safe puzzle not work right away...

i clicked and clicked and the left turning button worked and made a click sound but right did nothing

i enjoyed the diary it was nice though it should have played a larger roll. It wouldn't even have to be more puzzles just let me turn the pages so i can explore the world more. let me turn the pages so i can feel like i'm uncovering this character's past. you wouldn't even have to add it into the actual story but at least i'd get to read his journal if i wanted to learn something about what happened to this guy.

Spoiler

as for the story, i feel it was all over the place, there were like 3 different stories in there that didn't match up especially the thing at the end, what was that about?

dying guy, check, lost love, gotcha, this makes sense. then we have the whole backstory to the main character that he keeps bringing up but i didn't really care, the best use of it was when he meets the Rosa look alike in the park and she tries to talk to him about it and he declines. Then we get the reflection turning younger and his constant references to wanting to turn back time i thought we'd get this time travel story where he goes through his memories or something reliving his past. And then the lost love kills herself? what? i didn't buy it at all. then death comes in and you really lost me. nothing in the story before that really gave reason for this spiritual/mythical twist to appear at the end. There are three endings but they're all the same as in they're just endings. They're all the same length and they all end with credits.

i don't mind a lack of puzzles but if you're going to take out 50% of an adventure game you better make sure the story can take over for that lost half. Personally I feel it didn't, more connection between the stories or at least drop one of them [the death thing] and focus on the main character and the dead guy. flashbacks [heh] to them as children, them meeting their girls, them in the past. This would, in my opinion, make the title reflect the story more [living forever through memories] and help for me to understand the characters and sympathise with them more. Cause at the moment we are thrown into a story that were learn little about and with characters that i personally cared little about.

i hope this helps

eric.

--edit--
There's a time and a place

EDIT 2: that was harsh, eric.

Edit 3 - I fail to see the relevancy of Bulgaria's alignment in the second world war.

does bernard say anything when you win? i never cared enough to play through the whole thing
