rbaleksandar: Thanks. Hopefully I'll get around to doing a medium length game someday

Vertigoaddict: Thank you. Good to hear you had fun .

No worries. If ever you're confused about a game's interface but, check the readme first. Most developers put this information in there, and it saves you having to wait for a response on the boards!

Move your mouse to the bottom of the screen. Or, use the number keys 1-4.

This information is contained in the game's readme...

Those backgrounds look great!

Good luck with getting this finished, Paul

[Abstauber]

Abstauber: Huzzah! I have never played the Gobliiins Games but have heard nothing but good things about them. Glad you enjoyed

Puddleglum: Thank you . Good to hear that the note puzzle meant that the game wasn't a complete breeze through . Thanks for commenting .

:O Someone set us up the bomb!

Nice

[AsimosVagan]

AsimosVagan: Thanks . I have no idea what 'Dif-tor heh smusma!' mean but !

Ieremiou: I am happy that you enjoyed it. I don't really want to make more stories about Sally, because I feel that her personal revelation is complete, really. I could see myself doing games with similar ideas or in some of the worlds there, maybe using the box idea again, but I really haven't thought about it too deeply.

I'd like to have a game with voice acting some time but I really cannot at this stage.

Thank you for playing

Happy birthday:

Ishmael & Tuomas

Many slices of birthday cake to Ghost!

Woooo!

Next: A boy, a girl and their turtle.

That gui painting is wonderful!

Everyone has basically said what I noticed with this image, notably, crossed eyes, low breasts (and a little large, really), broad shoulders compared to waist/hips, thick neck.

I've done a paintover, using your palette (which is a little odd but works fine) and have come up with some more visual suggestions:



The main thing for me is that the facial features really weren't very clear because of all the shading you had going on in there, so I've tried to emphasise her facial features and keep it a bit simpler.

Hope you get an idea or two from this.

Haha thanks [ Arj0n ] and Dual.

I never thought this game'd get compared to LeChuck's Revenge! But I like MI2 so thanks . Woooo!

Oh, hooray for not getting my bottom sued by the Lively Ivy legal team

Thanks for the nice comments . As for the puzzle you're stuck on, yeah, that seems to be the awkward puzzle that heaps of people get stuck on. It's not really a pixel hunt (Well, actually, yeah it sorta is  ), just a bit awkward. Sorry about that  . You're like super close to the end so once you get past there you're home dry .

Bring on the robot love!!!

The nice, clean robot love, please, I know what you AGS people are like! 

Edit: I also think we need an Annie Android vs. Anna spinoff game.

That's a party I'd attend any day! Bring it on!!!

There's a ton of people with birthdays today!

Happy birthday to:

Squinky

And anyone else 

You can also get your message across by making a game that clearly states your values without having to emphasize that it's a 'Christian' game.

I personally feel that a lot (not all of them) of the values that I've been told are 'Christian' are really quite sensible, ordinary things - being generous, not being selfish or lazy, that sort of thing. You can get those messages across in a game without having to explicitly state that the game is from a certain viewpoint, as people from any sect or group will be able to appreciate these views, and people may be turned off from your games if you go out of your way to tell everyone how important Christianity is in your game.

That is, if you plan on making a game about that stuff. Otherwise just ignore me. Or ignore me anyway .

Wayne: Good to hear you liked the game! Thanks for taking the time to comment .

[Arj0n]: Thanks for the review ! From what I could understand (and with the help of Google translate) it was a very kind review. Cheers!

Your time is up, folks!

Unfortunately, we can't all just sit down and say "Hurrah we drew pictures", I must now decide a winner. The excellent standard of entries here has made it very hard to pick one out, but I have chosen. Before I get onto that, let's look at all the entries:

SSH: Yes, yes, very clever . I was pleased to see you entered something more serious later down the thread with your ectoplasm and eyeballs. Thanks for entering .

Eggie: Very nicely overstated pose and expression! I also like the eyes in particular. Nice job!

Hofmeier: You used a brave palette and an interesting idea, and I really like this sprite. The face is very reminiscent of Frankenstein's monster, which I like, and the whole concept is nice too.

SpacePaw: Very functional for a sprite and very clear as to what the creature is. The brain sticking out is a really cool touch .

Helme: That is... a very strange zombie. But I like it. Because I like strange things! The unconventional approach to design and anatomy is very refreshing, and the character still retains a feel of unlife. Nicely drawn!

Bog: Simple, clear and well executed. I like the whole unsaturated look you have here, and it's a very functional illustration for game purposes .

Babar: Nice use of blue gives it a very ethereal feel! I like the concept of a rowdy bandit ghost, and you managed to make his image reflect his character well. If I were scoring with points, you'd get a bonus 3 for using the word 'dacoitry' .

Indie: Another very clear and functional sprite (which you demonstrated well with your nice animation!). I particularly like this character's eyes, I feel they really add to the sprite and give the style a unique touch. Lovely!

Mad: I really dig this style of colouring, and the whole form of the sprite is excellent as well! Beautiful use of your palette and very nice drawn .

Evil: A very cute design idea and it works quite well. I'd enjoy playing a game in this style I think, and the zombie and skeleton sprite work particularly well here, I feel!

Aljoho: I did not expect a zombie elephant, but it's nice to see people having fun with their entry ideas! It's an interesting idea and nicely drawn, plus I'd certainly be a bit freaked if I saw that in a game .

Cat: I really like the anatomy of this character, the large round head and pose are drawn in a very appealing way! I also like the fact that the eyes are showing, and it would clearly work very well in a game. Nice!

Misj': Your Robocop idea and your Sisyphus ideas are both very nice interpretations of the theme, excellent! The amount of time you have spent here is quite apparent, and I'm quite sad that I'm only taking into account your static sprite (although I must comment here that your walk cycle is very nice and smooth, fantastic work!). The strong facial lines are something I am unused to, and I definitely get a very Greek Mythological feel from it. If you tweaked that right foot a bit, I'd say you have a perfect sprite!

Loominous: A very haunting and interesting idea, which instantly gets me curious about the nature of these characters. Technique is as stunning as usual, but I have to say that the contrast between these two characters is really what makes them special for me.

Uncle-Mum: Great! Even though it isn't an entry .

Ok folks, I can't let this continue forever, so I have to tell you who now gets to host the next jam. As I indicated earlier, this was a very hard decision to make, and there were a number of different sprites that were vying for my attention here. However, I declare the host of the next jam to be Loominous, and thank you all for entering and making this such a magnificent activity to host. I hope you all had fun!
