Zombie-whale!

I'd like to second The Milkman Conspiracy, and also suggest Black Velevetopia.

Don't forget Lungfishopolis! Rampaging around as a giant in a city populated by fish.  Oh yeah. That was awesome.

Actually, you know what? I kinda just want to say all of Psychonauts.

You wouldn't be wrong.

Also, scary? RTC.

I need this Psychonauts to my computer.

This is what I made so far.


This is what I planned for it


not fully pixelated yet, but I could use some critique on this stuff now that I am on the early stages.
I do intend to give it a more Steampunkish feeling to it.

Looks great! I think the yellow places would need a bit more shading to make them look more like metal, but otherwise it's cool.

They look really awesome!



You thought trees can't be gentlemen? Well they can!

The bad thing about public scrutiny is that you might have to give away some surprises for feedback.

I always choose 1-3 guys to whom I tell about the game, and who betatest the game. No spoiled surprises.

Or better yet, contact each one in private and give everyone a different beta with only certain gameplay/story spoilage.

Bonus: Don't tell them you're doing this.

Or maybe give them all different games?

I agree otherwise but I'd add all the other 15 colossi to that list. They're all great 'levels' in gaming history!

HeXen, it's atmosphere with a set of levels built around it.

Hexen. Oh darns, I remember how much I laughed when I read the translated manual. "With the Book of Power the Paladin emits a ray of light that melts all evil!" or something like that. It was really hilarious in finnish. Also word 'light' was translated as 'not-so-heavy' instead of, well, 'light'.

KniteBlargh: That is otherwise cool, but it really looks like you forgot both E and A from the text and added them later on when you realized what you had done.

It looks like there's soda machines that create dark replicas of the player.

hempuli's would be god-like.
i cannot contain my excitement.

Just let it come out. Into a bucket, if I may regard. I'll have to install the scanner drivers before I can amuse you with those. (Formatting and reinstalling a computer was actually very easy!)

When I get my computer working again, I'll upload something. I have some hundreds of paper games I drew when I was little.

But hey, what would you guys say if we made a compo or something like that out of these ideas? "Childhood game remakes"?

I hate and have always hated ripping graphics or even having someone create graphics for you. The only things others do for me are musics; that's the place where I lack skills the most.

But I like the idea of a database for abandoned/orphaned game assets. Although I wouldn't by myself take anything from there, the idea of showing and making something out of your abandoned game projects is cool. It could be very inspiring, especially if there was a bit of description what kind of game this abandoned/orphaned game was, if there was any.

When I read the title, I instantly imagined something like http://www.squidi.net/three/ .

When it was raining and I was in a car, I used to watch the small drops of water stuck in the window, how they slowly fell lower and lower, and to the left at the same time. I also enjoyed watching how the drops absorbed other drops to themselves during their course over the glass.

Bleh, I feel like there's something grammatically very very wrong with those sentences. Forgive me.
