Hey guys! Sorry about the delay, have been busy for a week or so.

Since there were only three entries and we're already way over time, there's going to be no voting this time. As the host, I'll declare the winner.


After some thought, the winner is...

UnLady! Congratulations!

Thanks everyone for entering and see you next time.

Nice one, TGames. We have a third Entry!

We basically have one day left (even though for me technically it's still tuesday night, as I haven't gone to bed yet. So you can add your BG's tomorrow and day after tomorrow). If anybody needs a small extension, it just may be possible if you ask nicely.

I'm relatively sure I can't finish my game in time to participate in this MAGS. Anyway, good luck to you all, hope to play your games soon enough.

Great job jwalt and UnLady! Two sweet entries of different styles.

There's still a few days left, people. Can't wait to see more!

I'm noob enough that I don't know whether it's poor form to revise an entry, so I apologize if it is. I did need to change to the png file, however.

Sure, participants are allowed to revise their entries if they feel so. There's nothing of poor form in that.

Edit: I realize I am suddenly not sure about the image size. I tried it in AGS and it looked like it works, but as I am a total newb, I might be missing something fundamental. Please advise if wrong size/format or colors, I will try to fix it. Thanks.

Don't worry about that, your background totally complies with the rules. Also, welcome to the Blitz!

"being usable in an AGS game" is kind of a pointless rule anyway, since I can't think of a way a background can't be used in an AGS game.

A MAGS game would be a fun break from working on other projects. I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to finish it, but I started brainstorming a couple of ideas and bam! suddenly I had finished a background and some character art.

Hello and welcome to yet another installment of the Background Blitz! This time it's rather deep.

Today's topic is...

Your task is to create a background which is located underwater. Will it feature exotic wildlife, a shipwreck, a futuristic city or a pineapple? Anything is allowed, so it's time to get creative. The wetter the better!

Other than being under water and being usable in an AGS game, there are no restrictions. The deadline is August 15th.

Have fun!

I recall Ben being aware of that, also that being the reason he's switched to tumblr

Some great stuff in this thread.

Here's a nice song from one of my favourite bands:

And something I randomly stumbled upon on youtube. Damn catchy song, and so's the whole album.

...and some old awesomeness for good measure

[edit]

Since Youtube may be not accessible in some locations, here's what I've got to contribute. Ween is probably one of my favourite bands of all time. One of the most diverse pop/rock bands for sure. Their music is at times nonsensical, stupid, pointless, offensively bad, and at times damn beautiful.

The Beach Boys are great. So are The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Cream, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Who and many others.

Also, Willie Nelson is awesome.

From the developers of Disney's Weight Loss in Vegas, Michael Jackson's Dating Shack, and Nerf Cowboy - Hot Pursuit, here's a brand new ass kickin' tactical combat game!

Edit: had some time, so made a little mockup of the game:

I think it looks cool. Definitely not stupid and ugly. 

You're off to a good start. I would personally avoid using gray for shading ice and replace it with blue-ish tones.

Character: Propane salesman / escaped convict / baby giraffe
Task: Travel back in time to rid the world of an evil warlord / defeat your archnemesis in a dance off / investigate the murder of a milk man
Genre: Survival horror / science fiction comedy / romance

Actually, I would really try and think of something for MAGS. The current topic is quite interesting and allows many different interpretations. Man, if only I had more time on my hands I'd love to do a MAGS game again.

Hmm... Icey?

Band pics, you say?



It's been a while since the last time I rocked on the stage, though.

[Idea:]

Wow, this Blitz turned out great! Excellent topic by the way.

Idea: Selmiak
Atmosphere: waheela
Design: waheela
Composition:Anian
Functionality: Anian
Technique: Snarky

I really dig Waheela's entry. It's tiny but it manages to achieve a style similar to what I've been trying to pursue all the time... but with far less colours!

Everyone else did great too!

If you insist...

These can be dangerous too:

Next: Jack and Jill went up the hill 2.0

Happy festivus for the rest of us.

Hö Hö Hö!

Heh, I remember that exact story from an old Twilight Zone episode.

You filthy people!

Okay, mine's not squeaky clean either.
