Does she have a ball gag in her mouth in some of the frames? Where in the game does that appear?

The structure of the title sounded familiar... at first i thought I was thinking of "robot finds kitten" but then I realized I used a similar construction with bug <3 flower.

Is there a more famous game that uses the same naming structure?

Anyway, nice work with the game. I haven't had a chance to try it 2 player yet. I was surprised by the diminished dimensions of the playfield (relative to how old games set it up) but I guess that's to stop the apple from fleeing far far away.

The whole concept of asymmetrically-controlled (i.e. one player keys, the other on mouse) makes sense for the PC. There's also a lot you can do with co-op.

Dess, I made something that kind of had snake heart apple in mind. A bit; it's more kind of based on this one tech demo, but still... when I had to give an element of indirection into the mix, I chose apples 'cause of you.

So here it is, DRAGGIN -- defend your apples and your body from the maurading villagers. (This is kind of meant as a glorious trainwreck but it wasn't done in the KotM 2 hour time frame-- coulda been, mostly, but I let myself get distracted and also throw in more features.)

It's pretty fun! You should make it impossible and have your body grow according to how many people you eat.

it is okay if you post as me as long as I am not gushing about dess

or is it perhaps that the dess gush could not possibly be contained by one forum account?

i'm working on a small game that i hope to get done before school starts and i have no time to work on my own projects. it's not lesbian spider-queens of mars - though while i was sketching sprites for it (it's a mono-color game), i did a few lesbian spider-queen drawings.

alternately:

i have no idea what this game would look or play like, but i really want to make it.

It would play like Wonderboy 2 as done in the Tiger LCD games style.

I do think those are cool. They put me in mind of the original Dizzy for the ZX Spectrum, or Digitiser on Teletext. That style is quite nostalgically charged for British gamers of a certain age.

Oh man I didn't even know that had a name, I thought it was just called 'creepy German men who dress up as babies'

what if i have something constructive to say can i say things that are constructive
since this question is about things that could be constructive it is a constructive thing to say and so if the answer is yes which i hope it will be i am allowed to ask this question

i just hope the answer is not no

dessgeega · Posted: Sun Dec 16, 2007 1:41 pm Post subject:

that's actually a really neat looking program, but jiji from namakoteam put together some sound effects for me.

so now all the game needs is a name.

Yeah, that sound effects program is amazing! You can plane noises just like the ones in Dark Side Of The Moon!

Except make them pan back and forth.

your electronic arms. my last game before i pack my bags and ship off to videogame school.

as usual the game began with a doodle sheet on which i sketched lots of concepts for the game's appearance. i ended up doing plenty of drawings for lesbian spider-queens of mars, too. someday i will return to this theme.
