I know photobackground is slightly weird, but it's a timesaver.
Anybody else here going to play every game just to see how many have sheep?

a) Cheer up! After all your OCD is fine with "2" coming after "a" :P
2) My advice: look at sprites from other games and copy them with minor edits. You'll then gradually develop your own style. Most people learn to do any kind of art that way.

@Gourd: You bet!
Starting a bit late, but I think I'm going to go ahead and give this a try. I've been wanting to make a horror game for a while and maybe a deadline is the thing I need to get going. Trying out all the entries afterwards should be fun, too.
If this wasn't horror themed I'd participate and actually complete a game (or at least die trying) but I don't really like scary things (even comedic scary things) and I've already wasted a few precious days thinking about whether to join or not so... meh. I'm just gonna be lazy and not participate.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

It's not horror themed, though. There are five different themes to choose from, and only two of them are horror.

Like, I'm doing a ghost story, but at this point I'm actually going for "sad" rather than "scary".
I already lost like, five or six days I could have spent making a game, I probably wouldn't finish it in time. I'm just using this as an excuse to be lazy and not mak gam

Well why else would we play them?

Bad excuse. You've still got like 85% of the total time. You know people are gonna be starting their games in two or three weeks and finishing...

At least be like "I'll start in a week or two when I get time" and then in two weeks be like "Well now I don't think I have enough time to finish" urhurhurhurhur

this.
I like the feeling of when I'm testing a part of the game I just made and I'm scaring myself. ^_^ If you scare yourself while making a horror game you know you're doing something right.

Let there be a sheep hunt. If only there could be a Master Sheep Herder achievement.
@marimo Oh, but if we were to will it, there could be~<3

Caz would back it I'm sure.
I may actually try another 1-day (or 1-week if it gets away from me) game, though not sure that it'll be finished. That said, I'd like to sign up for a separate game again, but for some reason it's not allowing me. :/

I think it might have something to do with being the team leader of team MaMa. It probably doesn't allow for the same person heading more than one team.

As it transpires, you didn't contribute any sheep so you are disqualified.
I sent a female sheep to you back in 1972. Don't play dumb.
