Lol, what a coincidence, I just finished watching PoC-Dead mans Chest and before going to bed, just skim through the forums and this was the first thing that popped up..

lo_res_man, did you know that European Space Agency was looking for volunteers for a Mars mission simulation?  Over 200 people send their applications, only six will pass. The mission itself is that you are being locked in a little space capsule for 700 days Now try not to go crazy in that time while you can only be in 5 rooms!

If you are absolutely redrawing it, maybe try another viewpoint to get most of the walls shown and furniture can be placed efficiently.

Holy macarony.

I wanna see a guy who can handle a pump action gun in one hand. Lets leave Arnold out.

If you don't want an artificial looking style on it, instead if you want it to look like someone is living there, forget symmetrical composition. There are too much horizontal and vertical lines, add some diagonals.

First of all why put couch in the middle of the room so you have to walk around it in a small area? I would put it in the left diagonally facing the right upper corner or place it to the right horizontally, half way into the shadows so the image would not seem like cut off and camera wouldn't be inside a wall. Think of it as you lived there, how would you place things? Also stop thinging iside the picture frames, as they don't end the room unless camera is inside a wall.

Ofcourse, one of the best thing to do is take a piece of usual paper and quickly scetch some ideas down. This way you get the basis going and it is easier to render.

And now what the hell is this png file, why I can't open it in MS Paint???


Ok, here is a quick drawing I did in MS Paint, hope this helps to get the composition and values right, so in the end, its all about colouring and nothing more.

BG is fine, a bit too dark maybe, so I can't quite see everything thats going on. You should reduce contrast. But All you really need is a full photograph of yourself in 8 directions. Rotoscoping is fun.

Right now the image seems to be floating somewhere, it isn't quite fulfilled somehow. I think the problem lies in odd 2 colour couch, which needs at least one more shade (shadow?) and some light spot on left handlebar. Second thing that bothers me are the black areas, you might want to add some transition in between, especially in door areas.

Wow, I am really surprised to see a black and white game. Nice to see that style is still appreciated in these messy days.

Ok, I finished the game now.
I think the vomit turning gray isn't a scripting error, I think it is meant to freeze in the cold.
But I did see some flaws indeed, the biggest of them all was dissapearing body at the (longer) end after I had shot the guy. And the text parts were indeed a bit boring and there were no time to read everything, especially if you wanted to have a little glimpse on a beautiful background too
So basically the main problem with this is that it lacks any rewards after puzzles, its just simply "do this and do that"...
But my big props to you for the background art and an excellent choice of music Definately my taste.

I am playing the game right now and I must say its fantastic! Did you draw all those backgrounds by yourself?
Although I think the music is stolen (sounds too proffessional and good), game really needs it.

Here is my mess as a contrast to those all peaceful desktops here:

I feel sorry, my condolences. Muslims have lost lots of families too, because of the chaos that western governments have brought, they are as angry as you, accusing us to be the terrorists. Personal drama can have enonormus effect on people. Everything has two sides you know. And I believe it is better if we leave personal drama out of this thread. I also am a bit dissapointed that people only see the last sentence of my post, which was not meant that way at all. I should edit my post. My apologies for confusion.

I've seen people who accuse moslims as nation in terrorism, no matter if its caused by one person or not. Moslims, therefore accuse us as nation. It is basically similar to the cause of school shootings, at least in most cases. So we really should look into the mirror, there are lots of misunderstandings. Do you actually know that in many Islamic countries they believe Europe and America are countries that have people with very opened sexuality. They actually believe that people have sex in every corner and life is like in those porn movies. Now how bizarre is that. Think about it.

Muslims are very delicate and emotional people, and while western countries are consuming their islamic world, they create lots of tension in their country, therefore lots of families die. So the islamic people are attacing civilians in northen countries to just get them to feel the same. And also, it can be compared to hostage taking, both methods act as ultimatums.
Western and Northern forces should leave Middle East and Afghanistan alone and let them deal with their own problems. Moslems etc have understood that actually western countries have no reason to be there, there is no reason to support Israel. They are different culture, we have no business of being there. But we want their resources, its that simple.

Now, do you actually remember beslan school hostage crisis? You remember the demands of terrorists?
The governments of Western and Northern countries should look up to themsleves to see who the real terrorists are.

It simply indicates that there is something wrong with the society. I like to use the expression "shelled" to describe todays society. On first glance, everything seems to be normal, people work, live their own lives etc. But if you look deeper, under the shell, you recognize that everything is so damn corrupted and bizarre. And guess what, we are all working for that corruption, for other peoples power, we are all part of the system. usual city people, families, fat kids, etc, innocent ones, are actually part of the problem even if they don't know it.
Just think of it, one mans bread is anothers mysery. Animal tests, oil war, nuclear bombs, syrrogates in Middle East, slavery in Asia, South America and Africa, arm deals, food scams, etc... One countrys democracy stands on another ones freedom. What would you do if you were to lose your freedom, your ability to choose? Most people are potential killers, you know, even you and me may kill people just because of being here, consuming everything. So what is the difference if you do it directly or indirectly being cold blooded and ignoring it?

World is running out of resources, that is for shure. Oil wars have already begun. I am actually surprised that there are no terror attacks coming from South America because northern world is taking away their recourses and democracy also... Its seems like people in middle east are just more agressive to not let themselves be fooled, and there is nothing wrong with that. One thing is for shure, there are worse times coming.

My orkut.

This is very pro! Walkcycle is perfect for my eyes, so I got nothing to crit. But face expressions could use some more character tough. i can see you have played with an upper cheek muscle in one image and moved eybrows too, but that isn't enough. Move his mustache in different mood expressions and some forhead muscles should move a bit too (you can even add more characteristics if you involve some hair movement in forhead muscle movement also).

I also added myself, but in the effin' wrong place. Currently according to the map, I'm living in a forest in the exact middle of Finland. The coordinates wouldn't change when i clicked around in the zoomed state, so I just clicked 'Add'. Can someone please remove me?

I don't know anything about changing the current location, but i had that coordinates placing problem also. Then I finally figured out that I should use those arrows on the upper left side of screen instead of dragging the map manually.

I found a page where you could watch it online for free once, but it wasn't interesting enough for me, so I skipped...

Where do you play chess, radio? I play on yahoo (but i suck), maybe we can arrange a match!

Nice accomplishment Neil, I've never been in Vegas. Played with someone famous?

I used to play at www.instantchess.com, but since I am not going to pay for such thing I now play randomly in www.flyordie.com (user: ink956) and weeks lasting letter chess on www.gameknot.com (user: tint).
