Labelling things is dumb anyway and just causes arguments. If Final Fantasy let us choose what we wanted to say from a list and got rid of the EXP, would we label it an "adventure" game?

A game where you go on adventure? Well, that about includes every action game and rpg

That's what i'm trying to say. "Adventure" is sort of a tree trunk, and there are loads of branches taking it in different directions like RPG, action, fps-rpg, third-person-action(tomb raider maybe), point & click etc. This is just how i see it anyway...

A game where you go on an adventure.

Monkey Island is an adventure game, Tomb Raider is an adventure game. They're just 2 different TYPES of adventure.

It's like like music... which bands are pop and which bands are rock? Some bands are pop-rock and some bands are pop-punk, still pop but just different types.

I don't see it either.

P.S. I have a t-shirt with the logo from your sig on it. Wee.

I used to get Sunkist all the time, now i'm stuck with Lilt and orange Tango. Also, what ever happened to Mountain Dew?

A drive.

What Screen 7 are doing is essentially just another form of fanfiction, albeit visual media using graphics rather than text. If the lawyers came onto them they could just remove the "Indiana Jones" from the title and they'd probably be all set to continue.

and TheDude, how is your opinion any better/more valid than the thousands of people who enjoy Derek Smarts games?

I didn't say it was. And yes, it is just my opinion. His games aren't given less than mediocre review scores for no reason.

That's a statement that would be pretty hard to solidly defend, I'd think...

Okay - I get what you mean. I didn't clarify my statement. I meant that everyone who's been mentioned so far has created a kick-ass game (obviously there are those who disagree, but if the game truly sucked, it wouldn't be popular), so they aren't morons. They're just unwise, maybe ignorant. But certainly not retarded or idiots.

Derek Smart hasn't made a kick-ass game, therefore he is indeed a moron. Just because a game is popular it doesn't mean it's kick-ass.

So, just to make sure we're entirely clear about this, I'll simplify your argument into an easily understandable syllogistic form:

Major premise: Derek Smart makes games
Minor premise: You don't like those games
Conclusion: Derek Smart is a moron

...

Whu?

"I meant that everyone who's been mentioned so far has created a kick-ass game so they aren't morons."

According to this logic, yes!

It looks great, but what's happening with her arms? Does she have any or are they hidden away under her garment, does it even have spaces for arms?

Your newest version is much better, you really achieved the creepier look you were going for. It has a lot more atmosphere too, and the corona on the light works well.

Derek Smart - he makes the Battlecruiser games (one of the worst sims ever made, and that's coming a fan of simulations) and posts on it's forums almost everyday.

How do you do your drawings? Do you draw them at higher res then scale them down later?

Could you maybe use some paragraphs and full stops! I got about a quarter of the way down and I REFUSE to read anymore!

Was that last one from a star wars poster? I remember seeing something like that on my religous education teacher's wall about... 3 years ago. The monkey shadow's a nice idea.

But you can just upload it again!

I don't know if many people know about this, but i thought i'd post it anyway. It lets you upload any type of file to their server and gives you a link to it that lasts for 7 days. No more free hosting bandwidth limits when people try to d/l your games!
