Love the graphics style!

Why couldn't the contest administrator also participate?

It feels wrong though if the Administrator, having previously won, wins again, and potentially again...The FWC championship belt needs to change hands.  I agree that there should be more entries these days, but not admins unless its an exhibition entry.

Awesome round guys!  Congrats to JudasFm.  His was certainly the hardest of the entries in my opinion.

[JudasFm]

Best Character: I'll go with JudasFm's Cy.
Best Setting: JudasFm's huge spaceship.
Best Word Craft: Sinitrena.
Best Crime: Mandle.
Best Mystery: Mandle

There is only one option for june's pick: Camp 1. An instant classic if there ever was one.

I'll second that pick.

Over the No Mutants Allowed forums there is a thread where folks have meticulously broken down the trailer for both location and character speculation. 

It does look like a pumped up version of Fallout 3's engine.  Awesome graphics would be good, though I'm mainly hoping for interesting stories and characters along with solid AI.

I have a friend who works at Ubisoft on Assassin's Creed...

Those small studios you mentioned to him at least release games that aren't rehashes of the same basic game every year...Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed are the worst offenders.

I agree with Sinitrena on SK being too obvious in JudasFM's entry, which is why I went with a bit of an out there choice.

[Who:]

I read and reread JudasFm and Sinintrena's murder mysteries and I couldn't deduce jack squat.  Of course I want to blame Colonel Mustard or some monacled professor, but I blame me for being bad at whodunits.  Regardless I've made educated guesses as to "who" for both stories, but I've got nothing concrete for "why".

Dun Dun Duuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnn...

Spoiler

JudasFm w/ Death in the Stars
Who: James Lawson?
Evidence and Motive: I couldn't figure anything out...

Mandle w/ Stop the Presses!
Who: Marvin Masters!
Evidence and Motive: Marvin seems to be lying.  Mary can't account for her husband at 8:00PM, and that's when she heard a cry.  Marvin went poking around at 8:30pm supposedly, and if he was getting Steve to meet Guy at 8:00pm, then he was around Steve's place from 7:45pm to 8:15pm.  Uhhh...Steve was hooking up with Mary on the sly, and Marv caught wind?

Sinitrena w/ Lady Susanna's Necklace
Who: I'll pin the theft of the hotel safe and necklace on Ben.  And the murderer is...Lord William?
Evidence and Motive: I couldn't figure anything out...

DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNN!

Nope, and since you've gone through the obvious red herrings I had in mind, here's another:

Congo?  You said classic, not "classic".

He looks a little old in that photo for it to be from the first installment of the series...so "Army of Darkness"?

  I'm excited for this being a huge fallout fan; staying loyal even after the series went first-person. 

  Anyone who wants to revisit Fallout 2 should check out Killap's Mod.

Congrats to Anke, and fun round guys!

In addition to the top ten list, check out The Shivah, Primordia, and Time Gentleman Please!  A Tale of Two Kingdoms remains popular in terms of downloads and is a great game with a big scope.  For an AGS non-adventure game I'd recommend Red Hot Overdrive.

Got to add The Art of Dying as another great AGS non-adventure game.

Looks great; I'll be downloading and playing this one soon!

The only downside is that a 32bit game will probably be larger.

Yea I think this was why I went with 16-bit.  My game has a bunch of different stuff going on at the same time and I must have been worried about slow-downs.  Also, good to see you around Ghost!

Stunning artwork!

And to think I was about to purchase GameMaker Pro for $800 over AGS because I was scared to ask for help in the forums, lol. That would have been maybe absurd.

Most everyone here is pretty mellow.  Very rare to be e-eviscerated on the board.

I did my game in 16-bit, and I'm pretty sure I had a reason for that though I can't recall.  Anyway, good luck!

Quite an obscure pull that one.
