I might be interested in doing music, depending on what sort of style you're looking for. PM me (I'd pm you, but I really don't have time right now) and we can figure out what sort of style you're looking at.

Her name is Virginia? heh. It's probably a wonderful name and suits her brilliantly, but the only virginia's I've ever known were little old ladies with Grey hair and english accents. Sexy.

Unless she covers her body from head to foot, and refuses to make contact of ANY sort with the opposite sex, and refuses to drink tea, coffee and soft drink and believes that women should be seen and not heard, then she is OBVIOUSLY not a Christian, and she's just in it for the reputation

(That was me not being serious)

As has been said, I think AGS should become an absolutely freaking fantastic 2d engine, as opposed to a pretty-darn-good 2d engine with basic 3d capabilities. Though at the same time, I think the possibility of 3d is quite exciting.

Maybe there could be 2 versions of AGS or something? Of course the primary emphasis would be to improve it the way it is, and the second would be with some minimal 3d capabilities that would slowly be added to. That way, people who only want to work with 2d aren't bogged down with theÃ,  extra file size, and those who want 3d can't complain.

Yeah - I know that'd require a lot of extra effort, but this is a Great Suggestiong - not a Great Commission.

EDIT: Admittedly I don't know how the lighting etc would be handled, but that doesn't mean no-one else does...

I like your colour scheme more now. It looks a little more like a room I'd be willing to live in, though I still don't know how many people really have pea-green carpets (unless the room belongs to either a freak or a hero, in which case it's exactly right). On that note, though, it looks strange to have the floor and the grass in the painting the exact same colour (or else really really similar).

Whilst I absolutely love Opo's edit, I agree with Dan. If it goes against someone's natural style, it'll take an eternity to make everything else match, so I'd say: admire opo's work, and take suggestions from it (he's improved the perspective of the skylight), but stick with your own gut style. It's what makes this community so.... different. (Thanks, captain obvious!)

I love your work, if you don't already know.

Hmm... I wouldn't jazz it up. I think simplicity says it best.

Although i'm not sure about the stencil look you've given the letters. That style is generally associated with fighting/wars/toxic waste etc. I'm not really sure what I would suggest in place of it, but unless you plan for it to be a fighting game (in which case I'd scrap the sub-title "secrets of atlantis" - it makes it sound too mysterious and adventure-like) try making it look a little less 'blocky'.

Just my two cents, but apart from that, I think it looks great and very atmospheric

EDIT: Hm... I'm beginning to change my mind. The more I look at it, the more I like it. I still don't know if I'm ready to remove my comments yet, because I still think it conjures an image of war, but by tomorrow I'll probably have changed my mind You are lucky I'm so easily manipulated

Heh. I pulled this one on my friends when I was in my very first year of highschool (I think). I printed it out on paper and took it to school, which makes you look extra smart-and-psychic. Some of my friends got really confused, but one of my friends actually had a brain, and he just looked at me and said "You're an idiot. All the possible symbols are the same."

That kinda took the fun out of it a bit...

I really like the off-kilter look you've given the room, but that said, it doesn't look like the bookshelf and painting are warped enough to fit in properly. It's not anything drastic, and it didn't jump out as totally obvious to me, but it's something to consider.

Also, I'd try raising the height of the door. I've never seen a door that only goes halfway up the wall, and - unless your character is 3 feet tall - you're going to have to work on some major shrinking animations to make him/her fit. If, of course, your character IS three feet tall, then I'd leave it exactly how it appears.

Good luck, and I really like your style

Amen, Migs.

Though I agree with DG as well. I was under the illusion that - although you hadn't dated her - you were kind of friends or something similar. If you're not friends or anything, then Church is the wrong place to meet up. Not only would you be nervous 'bout the whole 'Christian' thing, but you wouldn't really be able to talk to her about anything because you don't KNOW anything she's into, and you probably wouldn't know her church friends, either.

So yeah, for a first meet up, go to neutral grounds - tell her you though she was interested in you (that way you get either a 'yes' or 'no' response and you'll know how to take the conversation further). If all goes well, you can make plans.

You're asking her to accept you for who you are, and I'm sure she's willing to do that, though it might be a nice (romantic?) touch to go to church just once to show that you accept her for who she is, as well.

yay! You used handle-bar-beard-man Top stuff.
Smoothdaddy looks pretty sweet as well, but I liked his big afro before...

I don't see what all the fuss is about. Really, I don't.

Just go to church once. It's one day in your life, and you'll be there for about an hour and a half at the absolute most (unless it's some 6-hour long Worhsip thing for some strange reason). She obviously knows you're not Christian, and if she's in your class then she knows (to an extent) what you're like. She knows you don't act all God-like and Holy, so she won't be expecting you to act that way. If she's genuinely interested in you, she'll just be glad you made the effort to come along. And if she's a fraud - whooppee - you missed out on ONE morning (or evening) of your life.

Just go to see if she's for real or not, and let things happen from there.

Leks, are we allowed music in the background, as long as the 'found sounds' are contributing to the melody?

I would completely agree with auhsor. No one is expecting you to go to church for the first time and act all holy moly. Just go once, and see what this girl's motives are. No one says you have to go again if you're not interested, or you think this girl is trying to blackmail you or whatnot. But surely you could find ONE free Sunday Morning in your life, yes?

What if he was really bringing out a series of Greeting Cards, and there was NO game.

I think he would be exiled from the community.

Release the freaking game. NOW!

What makes me think Peter Thomas is going to reply soon...

*Holds Tongue* <- and that's not freaking easy for me. I think everyone knows my stance anyway. No reason to overkill.

I used to like him.

And then he went for voice lessons.

The reason people liked him in the first place was because he knew he didn't have a chance of winning Idol with his voice alone. He knew he sucked. But he didn't care.
If these singing lessons work out, he'll just be another Jo Blow (nothing sexual) on the street who has a moderately acceptable voice and ugly teeth (you can't deny, you'd never want to kiss the guy).

I'm not a big fan of the line down the middle of the banana, it just doesn't feel right. Bananas don't really have distinguishable lines anyway, and if they did, they'd have more than one. But apart from that, I completely love your picture. I mean REAAAALLLLLLY love it.

I learnt the "two dead boys" the same as Migs. The rhyme also flows better that way as well.

You can hear a sing-song of it (with added lyrics) here. At the bottom of the page. Kinda cool, but kinda not.

The ultra-deluxe edition of this poem which I've tried to learn but for the life of me can't goes like this:

The famous speaker who no one had heard of said:
Ladies and jellyspoons, hobos and tramps,
cross-eyed mosquitos and bow-legged ants,
I stand before you to sit behind you
to tell you something I know nothing about.
Next Thursday, which is Good Friday,
there's a Mother's Day meeting for fathers only;
wear your best clothes if you haven't any.
Please come if you can't; if you can, stay at home.
Admission is free, pay at the door;
pull up a chair and sit on the floor.
It makes no difference where you sit,
the man in the gallery's sure to spit.
The show is over, but before you go,
let me tell you a story I don't really know.
One bright day in the middle of the night,
two dead boys got up to fight.
(The blind man went to see fair play;
the mute man went to shout "hooray!")
Back to back they faced each other,
drew their swords and shot each other.
A deaf policeman heard the noise,
and came and killed the two dead boys.
A paralysed donkey passing by
kicked the blind man in the eye;
knocked him through a nine-inch wall,
into a dry ditch and drowned them all.
If you don't believe this lie is true,
ask the blind man; he saw it too,
through a knothole in a wooden brick wall.
And the man with no legs walked away tall.

I vote DragonRose too. Pictures are the goodness.

Peter Thomas, that isn't very Christian of you. Or something like that. I'm too lazy to find the proper quote

It wasn't very Christian of George Lucas to make that stupid film

It's fake. It seems astoundingly obvious, though not quite so astounding as one would think. It's been presented in a (sort of) convincing manner, though the evidence seems to stack against it. One would imagine there would be a million CREDIBLE news reports etc, as well as a RECENT photo of himself, or a videotape or something.

I wish it were true, though. I liked Mr. Kaufman.
