[never]

I am looking at it now. One thing of importance is to never save your pixel art as a .jpeg or .jpg 

Jpeg is not a lossless format and truly destroys your work by adding artifacts. you should save them in .bmp, .png, or gif.

I believe the site prefers that you post in .png

====== Edit Quote from posting recommendations

* Only publish .GIF or .PNG images here.  .BMP is too bloated and .JPG's have severe artifacting in most cases.

Anyways, I will have to zoom in on your sprite... but at first glance it does look better. It's "neater"/"cleaner" (don't know how else to explain it). Although your first one is more of a freeform sketch and "loose", this version looks more like a game sprite and it will be easier to animate and draw at different angles.

I'll post more when I am done zooming in on it.

===== Edit After Zooming in...

As I suspected the .jpg format artifact(ed) your sprite to heck. So please post a clean version of it. Hopefully you have an unartifacted save in either .bmp or .png  if not you will need to redo the pixel work to fix this one, or start again.

I'm using the GIMP. So just outline the old sprite with black then color it in with flesh colors and such...

Take a look at this tutorial. especially sections 8,9,10, & 11

I learned everything I know about sprites from it. It was an invaluable tool for me & I hope it helps you.

Good game so far while I am still playing it.

Error nr 1: I can't push on any buttons to get out of the computer image screen on the screen...

I just downloaded this game yesterday and wound up with the same issue. I could not exit from the computer when I realized that I did not know the password yet.

Is this a bug? Or Is there some other way to leave the computer?

Being new to all of this I am not sure if it is possible for game developers using AGS, but is there a way to expand the click zone to move to the next screen (ie. right and left)? I have found it somewhat frustrating to have to move my cursor to the extreme edges in order to advance rooms.

Other than that, great game so far. Really enjoying it and it brings me back to the first time I came across Space Quest  in the early 90's.
