Thanks, Captain Nemo.

Even though all the robots are meant to be machines I tried to make them all have a personality of their own, as it were. And there were other instances where Annie is the emotional machine and her dialog counterpart is the systematic logical one, but I didn't want to overuse any one particular style of 'comedy'.

Plus, I have a lot more fun making silly things than dark irony, although I try not to always turn to silly when I think of conversations.

It's not the importing of the sprites that's annoying (I tend to import all animations at once by selecting all those files), it's putting them in the view.

I suggest looking into the 'Assign to View' function if you've not already done so (and are using a recent version of the editor).

Merlin86: Thanks for the nice comments! I'm glad you like it, although I don't really plan to make a sequel (Sally's story is basically told, as far as I am concerned).

Bulbapuck: That's a really great thing to hear, what a lovely comment! Glad you enjoyed the game .

Happy birthday (suit) to Miguel 

This didn't turn out how I initially planned it, but nothing ever does, dang it .

Thanks Pablo

Yeah, I found the demo pretty fun . Cool idea for a game and some nice challenging levels in there .

Trent R: Thanks for the bug reports and nice comments. Glad to hear you enjoyed .

Dualnames: Thanks for the blog post and I'm glad to hear you thought the game was good! And yeah, both my 2009 games seem to have gone down pretty well .

Mordalles: Cheers! Those two puzzles are pretty much my 2 favorites, it's good to hear they worked well. Also thanks for the nice words about graphics .

Bicilotti: Haha, how did you find that video? Also, you finally got your soundtrack wish!

Sebastian: Hooray!

Alkis21: he makes games, he has birthdays!

Hooray!

Thanks, SuperDre, I appreciate your nice words .

Lewis: Heh, glad to hear you got past the problem

Robvalue: Thank you, glad you enjoyed!

SuperDre: Nice to hear you liked the game. Thanks for the feedback as well, this was brought up by someone else as well, so I'll keep it in mind in the future!

ALPHA2T: Great, I hope you enjoy

Saluk: You mean the land of peaks? That seems to be one people need a bit of time to get . Great to hear you like the game!

Big thanks, everyone, for playing . Also, big thanks to Rock, Paper, Shotgun for mentioning the game, which is really cool of them!

Today's guest birthday celebrity:

Layabout

Congrats!

To get water into the bucket:

Spoiler

Pick up the pipe cap on the ground, look in the bucket and find a second pipe cap (right click). Cover both pipes which have steam coming out when you turn the valve (use the caps to cover these). Then, place the bucket on the drain and turn the valve.

Paul!

Have a look at the sign. You might be able to take it

Spoiler

If you have the sign, you can probably use it with something else to make it long enough to use as a bridge

If you've done this and Sally still won't walk across it, then you might need to secure it. What else do you have in your items?

Shea: Thanks! Er... I think 

Dervish: Heh, thanks. I probably won't have a game out by next week though .

Buckethead: Hooray! Glad you liked the graphics, sorry I didn't let you explore, and yep, when we were talking about it the first thing Sebastian said is "This story sounds a bit like the Wizard of Oz" .

Strange Visitor: I haven't played that game since I was like 9. I must go and play it some day.

_.-=[ Arj0n ]=-._: Glad you enjoyed . Thanks for the bug reports, and I haven't seen/read Hellraiser, but a dig through books and wikipedia when I was making the game did prove that I was not the only one with crazy ideas about boxes with more planes of existence .

Neon: Thanks! Glad to hear about the graphics and animations, I had lots of fun doing them. I find it amusing because I've read more fantasy books than sci fi ones but keep writing sci fi stories, but it's good to hear you like them. Cheers!

Dualnames: Thanks, I hope you enjoy when you get time to play.

Cheers to all who have played an commented: you are great!

Interesting suggestions there, Misj'.

I know you appreciate that every artist has a personal choice when it comes to picking highlight and shadow colours, meaning either you stick to a very basic technique for selecting a highlight colour or you spend ages on the feature. I doubt that I'd use the feature, but I can imagine someone who is starting out would find it very useful. It'd be great if one could write their own function for calculating highlight and shadow tones for our selected tone, but that's started to make things very complicated.

The other issue here is that in the past when I have tried to make palettes based on just the numbers, it has never looked very good. The gaps in hue, sat and lum from say a red to an orange never seem to work quite the same on say a blue to a green. But that could be just me.

Interesting ideas, anyway.

Good circle algorithm.

This one is important to me as well.

I tried making a room and it's made but I don't know how to share the address

Help! Come and talk to me, internet friends!

Never mind! I found it!

Holy crap, 'Chamber of the Sci-Mutant Priestess' may just be the coolest video game name I have ever heard! Awesome

Hooray! I linked to you, nice work so far
