[Concept:]

So many fantastic entries in this contest, and they could fit into multiple categories.  It's definitely hard to choose.

But that's my job here...

Concept: Rocchinator
Playability: Tycho Magnetic Anomaly
Artistic Execution: Dream

Well done, everyone!

I'm happy to see the Music Contest back, and the fact that it's based on votes is an improvement.  I missed it.  I just don't have the chops to compete against these professionals.  Also, having the same host every time who is also a participant kind of makes it a bit too different from the other competitions here.  Just my opinions.  If everyone likes it the way it is, then I'll just enjoy whatever music comes out of it.



I would like to suggest a Workshop.  I had a lot of fun with the Monster Workshop, and I'd love to participate in another.  Working on something collective like that gives me motivation, which is often in short supply.  And as much as I enjoyed creating monsters, I'd be open to a good variety of Workshop ideas.

Lastly, I'd love to see OROW come back.  Maybe some time this summer would be good?

Congratulations, everyone!  There were some really nice ones in here, it was actually hard to narrow it down.

Well done, Tycho.  Looking forward to seeing your theme choice.

It could be that, but it's also the fact that his hands don't move.  They stick out in front of him like a zombie.

I'd suggest adding a slight movement to the arms, more at the side of the body.

Congratulations everyone, so many good designs here.

Also, I love that winner sprite.  Good work!

Honorable Mention: blur.  I just can't bring myself to vote for it...

But seriously, there are a lot of good options here.

Good stuff in here so far.  I really like Tycho's background.  It has a Blade Runner vibe.

Neato magneto!

I remember you said you were inspired by Atkinson Grimshaw for the art in this game, and I can definitely see that in this background.

Yes, a quick Google Image search of Atkinson Grimshaw definitely shows where the influence is coming from.

That's really cool.  I like the unfinished paintings in the background.

That is looking very nice.  It also looks like there are plenty of places to go from here.

Thanks for sharing!

I wouldn't worry about Dave too much.  He always seemed like the sunnier of the bunch.  (Knock on wood).

True, but accidents happen.  And yes, I knocked.

We have fallen on black days.

Seattle's frontmen seem to be at more risk than other band members.  We need to protect Eddie.  Mark Lanegan and Jerry Cantrell, too.  And don't forget Dave Grohl.

All of the icons of my teen years are going away.

Great job by all!

I'm loving this so much it just inspired me to buy your other 2 games.

Keep up the good work!

Charming.

This reminds me of my early years growing up near Toronto.  I watched the videos, and they look very nice so far.  The Intro had lots of super sketchy art that I thought was hilarious.  When the real art started to show, it looked fantastic.  Looking forward to seeing more.  Good luck!

I concur.

ps - are there quest games (fan made games) about lord of the rings? (strange but there is no (if i know right) modern (for sale) quest about this story - may be because of franchise rights...)

I've got no idea, but you've got me wanting Quest for Glory styled games set in Middle Earth.
