Didn't expect compliments, but thanks, guys. I don't deserve them

BS... Thanks to using your and others' tutorials, and reading critizism from you, Loominous, Andail, ProgZ and other artists, I've improved tons since joining here. It's played a major part in getting my current job (working on an animated TV-series) which is a dream.

It'd be great to have you all sticking around here.

I don't know much about the dispute, but nobodys perfect and these things happen. They mean very little in the bigger context.

If I could give any advice, it'd be not to go full length on your first game... Everything else looks amazing.

Feels like deja vu....

ps. The new screen looks good!

Unfinished.

So, Obi, when is the full album released? Can't wait!

Krysis.

Kudos to Pablo and Mash Potato for originality, and Buloght for technical brilliance. Krysis' shines in all aspects. I'd love to see it in a game!

10 points each to the previous four posters.

Sonic Youth is a great band (esp Daydream Nation), but there are obvious problems with the poster. It's just white letters on a black square, it's very big, and the area of the BG with the highest contrast. In other words, it draws way too much attention without adding life to the image.

The perspective on the dresser and bed is wrong, you should be able to see the right side of the dresser, and left end of the bed.

Maybe German Expressionism of the 1920s can be a helpful reference too.

Not bad.

His left arm is to thick tough. Also, the line on the jacket implies it's connected to his neck.

You should try a less dark colour for the mouth. It looks like it's wide open, like he's exhausted or in shock.

If you finish it, I'm sure it'll be a cult classic!

I'm not offended, but I have to agree on the point MrCollosal is making; I'm sorry but I can't take this type of character seriously.

Then again, one day the instincts of my male body probably win and I download. And I warn the game creators, every puzzle and story element in this game will annoy and feel like wasted time.

Oh man, Melt the Limit is a masterpiece! Thanks for sharing!

It's Bunbabe!

Congrats on the grade!

If you want some criticism; the whole composition is boring. A really lazy job, concidering the actual arranging of the screenshots is already done! And the text is drowned. The cup has got it's original shadow intact (a little messed up tough as you say. Why not try making a new one?). A lazy schoolboy you are!

To me, most of the ears seems misplaced  (esp. on the man with the spear). In general they are placed too low.

Nice improvement, I'd only suggest a change in the perspective department on the path you added in the third edition.

It's too wide at the horizon. It's like 3 kilometres wide at the horizon.

Look at this:

I love this game.

I think maybe it could have been a tad more non-linear than it is, when the geography is laid out as it is. There tends to be a little too much walking in circles. Or floating, to be precise. There could have been more stuff going on at once... Also, the graphics seem just a tad rushed in places (might of course be the MAGS syndrome), some exits aren't that obvious, and perhaps some elimination of double pixels and more thought out use of contrast in the grey tones could have made this look even better. Also, if hotspots had highlighted names, it'd be great.

But that's nitpicking of course. Even if not perfect, the graphics are succesfully stylized and sets the mood greatly. The music is the best game music I've heard in a long time. And the personalities and dialogues feel really worked on. I got sucked into the universe. Puzzles have a nice variation to them.

This game proves most of all the willingness to do something different, to bring the players into a world with great, defined personality. It's not easy to do that, so kudos for making this such a great ride.

I don't know you, but I've read a lot of your posts, and always felt you were one of the great personalities 'round this place.
