Very nice!

You've used dodge and burn for the shading tho and that's kind of detracting from the work. If you picked the shade colours out yourself, it'll look even better. ._.

The last one's the best IMO too. ._.

Very nice!

The only comment I have is that thing spilling out at the bottom breaking the border looks kinda odd, but you might be going for that effect.

Lovely lighting effects.  ._.

Me for Darth as well, stunning work. ._.

And Wanderlady was a close second, very neat idea!

It's not about fairness!!! Its about giving something without expecting anything in return(well except maybe credit) - if you want to do an Exchange Day that would be different.

Why tie the giving and recieving together? ._.

Andail, come back on OPD and we'll see.

Oh you already said only one request a person. ._.  

Disregard two request suggesion in last post. Carry on.

Mills, we can just post in the thread saying you're going to do a back/midi/whatever for person x and so on. That way multiple people won't work on the same thing and there will be more resources to go around.  

Nifty idea m0ds!

As for the taking advantage thing, why not just restrict each asking person to two items?

As for recieving anything back, you really shouldn't expect more than credit, since its more about giving than an exchange.

Unless I've misunderstood and its an exchange...

double post ._. oh well

The inside of a whale while you're in it.

Don't know if this has been suggested yet: A pub or a bar.

Top down view backgrounds might be interesting too.  

Nice work Petteri! ^__^

ish is the reason these things are never finishing on time and dragging on forever.

Thanks Mr_Frisby, they tend to go into overtime, but that shouldn't be the intent from the start.

[ish]

Mr Frisby, you can't have it 26thish because people need a deadline before which to submit pics and vote.

EGADS ._. what are they afraid they'll miss?? Someone talking about them, piff let them get over themselves. Missing some incredible conversation? Haha....yeah right, must be new to the channel. ._.

I maintain the quotefile, so realistically I need to be there the most, but that ain't keeping me logged in 24x7.  

That has been tried trap, but Rog freaked out once in a while and warned everyone in the room (many of whom were talking), that they  better start talking or prepare to be kicked. Including himself!

6 hours is long enough IMO, unless someone can come up with a good reason for staying logged in while they go to bed/school/two week trip to jamaica.

yEs, itS vErY cOOl tO wrITe lIke tHiS!

The main problem with mixed case, and I don't think most people realise this, because they read without knowing how they read, is that we read words not letters. Its the same for all-caps writing, its hard to read because the words are not in the pattern we are used to.

We  start out c-a-t-cat in school but then as we get more accustomed to reading, we pictorially see the word completely. That's the entire basis of speed-reading.

No offence Moresco, but you're new here. How do we know how long you'll keep the site up?

Even if its an index, it should be on the AGS site so it stays around. I'm not saying yours won't, I just don't know it will.

Who was it that said "98 posts in 11 days!?" I can't remember it was in irc heh. Why do you think the number is so low?

Unhhh...low? I see 7 posts a day below your profile. Most of them aren't rubbish(wow, there's a change D:) , but that isn't a low number by any standards.

And yes, I meant that page.

This sounds like a good idea, because especially in the Technical forum, some quite detailed replies are made which should really be saved for future reference.

As for the forum vs website thing, the advantages of a forum as I see it would be:
* easier to update
* can be updated by any forum moderators
* guaranteed to still be here in a year's time
on the other hand, a website:
* can list more details and host downloads
* can be more easily searchable and categorised

Either way, it sounds good - you guys decide.

Moresco: thanks for contributing - I couldn't access your site (Server Not Available) but I'll take a look later.

Yup, those are some of the reasons I suggested a forum. There are already these independant databases, like the one's at Matt Goble's page or the one Terran(or RickJ? not sure) was putting together from beginner's tech . But when people don't have the time to update them or simply lose interest in AGS and move on, they're not of much use.

Also, I think one person maintaining something won't have time to comb through all the forums for resources. If the mods are doing it, there's more of them and also collectively they may be less 'biased' about what is good and what is not.

As for the 30th post thing, I am not talking about stickies or only 30 threads. I mean its easier when that forum is only resources than say the critics where people's contributed backgrounds are buried under continuous posting of other BGs for crits.

Perhaps, we can have the forum and also an index. The forum is much more immediate. The indexes can always be there as well. They could as well draw contributions from the one forum. ._.

Yes Another one after C and A, but I think it would be useful. ._.

I think we need a forum that would be a place for people's contributed scripts, images, tutorials, useful script answers to other's problems, GUI's etc. to be posted. Sort of like an open knowledgebase cum(damn, I'd almost forgotten this is a real word! I had to check the dictionary to make sure. ._.;  resource pool.

It shouldn't be open to post in; only the moderators should be able to move threads in there. The thread titles should be fairly descriptive.

This way if a mod sees something that's useful, that will likely get buried under 50 threads by the next week, they can move it there. We won't lose all the contributions made by people. The mods will need to be the existing mods of the technical, critics lounge and beginner's tech forums from where threads are likely to be moved there.

Would make a good place to go when you're looking for resources for your game.

As for names...AGS Community Resources, AGS Resource pool, Community Contributions, Community Chest, Hey, look what I found!

You get the idea. Any thoughts?  

Its usually whoever starts it who has to coordinate it.

But this time I can do counting. ._. will help.


Ok, we have a winner folks. Its Mr Frisby!

Nice work everyone, I really liked all the entries this time, a rare occurance. Keep up the awesome work.

Mr Frisby, you can start a new thread with a topic of your choice or from the suggestion thread. Remember the Blitz runs for 2 weeks from the time it starts.

Unless you're designing a game by commitee, stop asking for opinions and just make the game.

The way things go around here, it'll be 2010  before everyone agrees the thread is locked.

Yay, welcome back C. ._./

Try the spyware removers. I have a link to a page that explains how to remove the thingy specifically, but I think these will do the job. ._.
