Happy birthday, Mods!

Picked - thanks Ibispi

I don't think the goal should really be to make a full game. Just some kind of coordinated competitions. If this leads to games being made - even better!

So I'd allow everyone to choose any script/background for their entry, no matter if already used by another person. I think it is all about getting inspiration, practicing and maybe trying something new.

Animating someone else's work can be tricky.

That's why we do all this competitions and activities - to practice and improve our skills

I'd give Writing and Background Blitz two weeks each, the same as any regular competition. Sprite Jam, Colouring Ball and Tune Contest could then happen at the same time to reduce losing the momentum. Or as suggested, only do CB and TC at the same time, with SJ before them.

What about a board-wide competition? All of the regularly occuring competitions work together and base their topic on each other?

Example:
Writing Competition starts off with a topic or setting (either general like "pirates", "wild west" or more concrete like "Back alley", "Restaurant") and people have to write a short scene/puzzle that happens in an adventure game.
Next is Background Blitz: Every participant picks one entry from the writing competition and makes a background for it.
For Sprite Jam and Tune Contest everyone chooses an entry from Background Blitz as a base for their work.
Maybe we could even fit Coloring Ball in this scheme

Pro: Could be fun
Con: All hosts of the competitions have to agree; it might not work if there are not enough entries for Writing Competition or BGBlitz.

Happy birthday, Andail! And happy belated to Snarky and CJ!

Happy birthday, Baron and Sinitrena!

Thanks Ponch, and happy belated one to you, too!

Has anyone experience with flying to/from London Stansted? I've heard it is not so convenient to get there by public transport, but the flights are super cheap and at convenient times. Is is better to go there by bus or train?

Thanks, guys!

Happy birthday, Bulbapuck!

Happy birthday, Fish!

Happy Birthday, Miez!

Happy birthday, Tabata!

Happy birthday, AGA! I hope they bought you some cake at Mittens

Two issues:

• I just picked a game for PotM and all the screenshots seem to be cut off. Is this a problem of the screenshot or with the webpage? Anyway, it does not look nice on the front page.
• I still get the tapatalk spam from time to time when browsing with my phone. This is really annoying. So does at least someone know if I can use Adblock to stop this?

Picked! Thanks Anke

We need a new pick!

Happy birthday, Stupot+!

And belated happy birthday, bicilotti!

I think this is a good idea, but it should not overlap with loominous' Background Workshop.
