I found out that there are some games adapted from some Goosebumps inspired choose your own adventure books. So I watched part of a let's play of one of them last night. I think maybe I'll try making My Best Friend Is A Werewolf into such a game.

feeling very creepy searching online for portraits of children for the characters' stats GUIs

I assume that at least helped with putting you in the right mood?
I would have just used This Person Doesn't Exist. Then agian, I guess it would take quite awhile to get 72 kids...

Isn't this what Youtube is for?

I've never read any Goosebumps choose your own adventure books. I was a little past the target age when Goosebumps books originally came out, so they weren't even on my radar. So I've actually only read maybe 2 of them. But I have like 10 of them I got off of Ebay sometime this decade. But none are in the Give Yourself Goosebumps line. Perhaps one day I'll get some and attempt making a game based on one. Who knows...

One story in my game is vaguely choose your own adventure. I'm considering the 3rd story to be an adaptation of a Lovecraft story, but not sure which one since Dreams in the Witch House is the one I'm most familiar with and there is the long game being made by rongel.

Ah, so Slasher's going The Little Shop of Horrors route? At least that still works with being a musical. Though I suppose to fit the theme, it'll be closer to the Little Shop cartoon series. I had completely forgotten that existed until today.

I'm considering subjecting myself to reading a Goosebumps book, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to go that far.

Concept: Deabriel - It makes me want to see you adapt it into a MAGS game.
Playability: lorenzo - Has the most interesting stuff to interact with.
Artistic execution: Flugeldufel -  It really looks like it could be from an Indiana Jones game.

Terrorizing is like tenderizing meat for demons/eldritch abominations.

Maybe I should make the third story Lovecraftian...

To make sure I don't run out of time again, I'm going to be making the game with dummy graphics before importing any of my own. So I will start programming today.

Slasher - The alien is named Desmond? And it sings and dances? I'm now imagining a mix of aliens from Chewy: Escape From F5, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure with E.T. and the chestburster from Spaceballs.

The American movie was my first exposure to Pippi Longstocking, since it came out when I was a kid. So no dubbing was required. Then at some later point I saw the tv series/movies made from the series. And a few weeks ago I watched the first episode of the animated series...

Slasher - Alien: The musical? Inspired by the diner scene from Spaceballs, perhaps?
And it's doubtful our ideas would clash unless yours are influenced by Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Goosebumps, The 90s Outer Limits, Spaced Invaders, Super 8, etc.

I now have a basic idea for all but one of the stories. I'm leaning towards something sci fi, perhaps with an alien.

heltenjon: Thanks. They definitely don't sound as good in English. Which probably explains why the lyrics from the American movie are what's in my head.

Cassie - You didn't have to rush that much. There's still almost 9 1/2 hours.

Kastchey - I always intended to. I just thought I'd be working on it at least some yesterday...
I wasn't sure how well the fog would work since it's a combination of stuff from Inkscape and GIMP.

I can safely say I've never played this or seen pictures from it before. But the axe does make me think a bit of Tokyo Ghoul.

I found the game easily given the info in the first picture and saw the second picture on the page I found. I find it interesting that the game was written by the same person who wrote Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

I wanted to do pure pixel art, but I lack the energy today.

Ah oh. I just realized something. Is this open through the end of today or has it already technically ended?

So, the plan is to split up the game to have 3 different main stories in a different style. Due to watching Mom's Got a Date With a Vampire and My Mom's A Werewolf yesterday, the first story is going to be My Best Friend's A Werewolf.

Mandle - Ooo, an eldritch abomination simulator? Sounds fun.

heltenjon - Här Kommer Pippi Långstrump seems to be the full title. By Black Ingvars.

Definitely not Farewell to the Flesh, I watched most of that last night.
ABCs of Horror?
Holidays? I've only watched 2 or 3 segments of that. The one with Seth Green, the one with Harley Quinn Smith, and the Valentines's Day one, but not the Christmas one...

Edit: I missed the clue. Only horror movie I'm seeing from that year listed on Wikipedia that looks any bit Christmas related is Sint...

Great, now the theme to the Pippi Longstocking movie is stuck in my head.

Since the turnout for last month was so low, I will consider making a game after all. Maybe I'll give another try at making a game based on 80s kid horror movies...

Okay, fine. So it was actually a song by The Black Ingvars. Which I have no clue the lyrics of due to not knowing Swedish...

Edit: Would it be okay to use the framing device I considered for May as long as everything else about the story is new?

If anyone downloaded before now, please re-download. There were major errors that I had to fix.
Also, there was an issue with the music so I had to remove it.

Well, it's kind of playable. Almost everything in the last room is screwed up so I had to remove pretty much all interaction. Sorry. I'll try to have it fixed in a few days.

Nice, a Gameboy game.

You want me to post a brown rectangle?
