My background is partially inspired by these pictures by Pénélope Bagieu:

Nice one Rootbound.

I should finish mine this week-end. It's a sketch too.

While these harsh colors hurt my weary eyes, I greet your fine sense of composition and I'm intrigued by the concept.

Good luck

Impressive. This looks like a fully-fledged RPG.

First, I wanted to apologize for not finishing this one on time. As I feared, my last weeks have been hectic.

I obviously vote for newwaveburritos on each category.
His use of colors is always interesting.
Is this a mountain in the distance between the 2 buildings?

Congrats Rootbound!

Tough decision with three great entries.

Yeah, each one with his/her own style.

Not sure if I'll have the time to finish my picture before the deadline. So here's my WIP submission:



It's a follow-up to my "Mediterranean" background of January

Congrats on the game!

I've got to catch up on the last episode but it's on my to-play list too.

You CAN die in this one though, so saving is advisable.

It's getting serious 
Never understood why they removed the death scenes in the 1st Broken Sword - Director's Cut. They brought tension.
Of course I'm not talking about totally unpredictable deaths that provide more frustration than tension IMO.

I love his 80s look.

I have an idea. Now to find the time and motivation...

"Yeah it's expensive but we're  the only ones in town."

I finished both games and had a good time:

The Gift

Spoiler

A straightforward and relaxing game where you go donate your blood plasma. Fitting with the theme. Some people find it stress-inducing but as an occasional blood donor, the game is pretty close to my own experience - except that we're given a meal after the donation. I didn't know you get paid to donate your plasma in the US. Selling human elements is forbidden in France.

Elevation

Spoiler

A polished survival game where you use various tools to help 2 robots escape a broken shaft in space. The experience is more emotional than the pitch could suggest. Your buddy feels alive and the rescuing pilot treat you like actual persons.
Visually stunning for a MAGS game.

I found 2 bugs:
- the game crashes if you use the refined laser with one of the objects in the right maintenance panel. Here's the output:

in "room1.asc", line 640

Error: AnimateCharacter: invalid loop number specified

-You can use the refined laser on the alarm light several times.

Nice style. You seem to progress quickly.
I like the music in the gameplay demo. It reminds me a bit of the Final Fantasy 7 forest theme.

Nope. It's all yours 

Seems like I voted for Hannah and she voted for me. Could someone please break the tie?

[newwaveburritos]

Concept: newwaveburritos - original take on the theme. It made me think of this recent comic book where some people go to the bar while other go to mass.
Playability: Volcan. I can picture a puzzle quite easily with the artifact.
Artistic Execution: lorenzo - like Obelix fell into the magic potion, I fell into European comics when I was a little boy.

This reminds me of this wonderful 90ies mockumentary where an African anthropologist leads an expedition to rural Austria.

Mockumentary? Seems pretty accurate 

Wise choice to draw the temple BEFORE the ceremony, Hannah. Much nicer.

The comic book style is pretty cool.

+1

Only 1 minute of gameplay in the 3:40 trailer. The credits and production companies are overkill. Writing them in the description would have been enough.

Keep up the good work.

Here's a patient for the nurse:

I won't be able to attend since I already planned my holidays for this summer. Maybe next time.

Tadam:

I changed the title. Now it's some sort of museum on a foreign planet dedicated to human ceremonies. Therefore the characters are part of the scenery. This may also help explain the mix of cultures and other oddities.
