Finishing short games is something to be proud of. I have gotten way more of a sense of satisfaction from all the short games I have finished than any of the longer games that I have not yet finished.

Is Gluep intended to be shiny and slick, like a slime? Or soft and mossy like a lichen?

If you want him to glisten like a slime, I suggest adding some highlights in a brighter green, especially on the portrait.

Re: New Blu Eternal Pic

I just started working on this piece today (so it's not finished yet). It's for Blu Eternal's title screen. I only used a limited palette of 17 colors (from Blu Eternal's full 256 color palette) for this screen. The palette begins at a deep purple and blends all the way up to a light yellow. Beauti...

Except that's not right since "current map" doesn't really work like that. Any thoughts? Actually, yes, current map does work like that. The script you wrote should work fine. Although you can actually simplify it a bit further and not use a variable: if (current map == 1)...

... You can't actually use tiles as slices. Actually, if you import them as backdrops, then you can load them as backdrop slices. Then you can attach the backdrop slice to a single-tile-sized container slice that is set to crop its children. Then by adjusting the x/y of the backdrop relative to the...

We never did settle how long the voting period would go on. Does anybody still want to vote who hasn't voted yet?

Unless somebody speaks up and asks for more time, I will probably count votes on friday.

My Votes: Escape the Wolf - Since it looks like I am winning this contest, I'll give the feature-request to the 2nd place winner. After watching a few people play and reading a few responses, I really wish I had scattered a few hint objects around the forest. Like, you find a big round rock, and whe...
