And as first place winner, you get a choice of which characters and medium I draw fan art in.

For everyone else, I'm just going to doodle my favorite in MSPaint.

My dev log: Been working late at my job, leaving me sore and tired. Progress slow. Tried importing some of my sprites; turns out that while the OHR can now read PNGs it hates low-color depth PNGs like my monster sprites. Had to reformat a bunch of them into BMPs. Gave some stats to a bunch of rats, ...

You can share the graphical assets I'm already making for my ridiculous game, those I already put in my last two contest games, and those from the graphics pack I started from. If the characters and writing are written and charactered right, nobody should mind them being represented with stock sprit...

And occasionally I throw in a little bit of "Chemical X" in the form of a loose theme like "make an Edutainment game" or "the theme is Science" or something that just doesn't show up in most other contests. And one time, it was a pick-and-mix of two very broad themes, ...

Everyone made a great game that I'm having trouble beating. Even the ones I don't care for as much as the others clearly have a lot of love and work put into them. My personal order of preference goes: OHR House Battle Royale, Star Ranger, Snake Hallway, Vault, Mom's Home, Camomile Tea I have both p...

Nathan, your game was amazing! I love the characters and the writing was excellent! The gameplay was sharp too, well paced combat and equips/items. I found the Trident. And the first time I played I had a few Hjalmar from grinding meat before getting in the boat. Adding hjalmar as an enemy drop was...

Okay, apparently the version of Snake Hallway I uploaded earlier had a textbox chain where one of the textboxes linked one further than I intended, resulting in something playable but slightly nonsensical dialog and completely invalidating one of the game's few actual branches or meaningful choices....

A game where you get eaten by a snake instead of a dog. I'm so creative, original, and totally not perpetually iterating on one idea I'm dangerously fixated on!

Snake Hallway

A mermaid and a pirate get swallowed by a snake. They're going to get out of the snake's booty, but can you ensure they make it out alive?

For how small and simple my game is, progress sure is coming along slowly. With how much I intend the game to have it's physically possible to finish it in a single evening, but sometimes it feels like I've been in a constant state of burnout for seven years.

OHRodents seems like a perfectly reasonable idea? I've been sitting on the idea for years. I was going to make it eventually whether an appropriate contest emerged or not. Playable characters include: Nathan Karr, a somewhat squishy mage with a very broad but shallow movepool; jack of all trades wi...

My game is called OHRodents. It consists mostly of significant rodents of OHR history (and some obscure chumps I can introduce you to) having adventures at a tiny size. Things like using sewing needles and those plastic sword-shaped toothpicks as rapiers, matches as torches, buttons and bottle caps ...

You Need a Hero 7/10. My quickest and shortest complaints: The battle music is a lot louder than the map musics, and those are noticeably louder than the victory music. The character walkabouts look good enough on the side views but it feels more like their shading is shifting around randomly when ...

That describes the start of nearly every relationship I've been in, so clearly I haven't learned.
