What about companies which don't exist anymore? Who'd get my money if I had to pay for the game? Probably a company which didn't even work on it...

I've writen quite a bit of story for this now - thanks for the suggestions!
Claire is going to make some Flash to embed in places (I think I've figured out a way to do it... I've not done this before, though) which means that I'm at the stage where I need some graphic stuff.

My drawing's okay. I can't draw with a mouse and I don't have a graphics tablet. Scanning stuff seems to be the way to go if it's just me. Claire's quite good with stencils and graffitti, so having her on-board helps, too.

I'm not sure whether to rip screenshots / small movies from original games. Like being in the SCUMM bar on Melee island...
It might be better to have original artwork for bits like that. Dunno what the copyright's like (I'm not sure they'd give permission, either) and I reckon it'd make the game look disjointed and bitty.

Anyone have any ideas..? (still need some for the story too...)
If you think this game is going to be like the one, "made"/"not-made" by Punch, that looks like a map for Doom II, then you're going to be disappointed.
I may talk a lot, but when I'm not talking I'm doing.

This game will be a lot like that.
Hopefully.

If it gets any further than this.
Without fanning the embers of flame-wars, with any luck... I don't get why people who needlessly provoke such things are always so tight to point out that such an event was never their intended purpose...

Do you know why I said what I did..?

Nice one Total - I'll make up a list of locations and stuff.

The first place, I reckon, should be the dungeon from Prince of Persia. The part where the sword is laying next to the crumbled skeleton.
A lot of them are just places from another game. The reason why I was thinking screenshots... But that'd be really inconsistent and idk about the copyright of the images.
(or if that even matters)

My copy skills are worse than I thought. I tried to copy a screen from Prince of Persia. Here's the original file:



The raw drawing made by me. I could've worked some more on it, but I'm losing too much time:



The same drawing only resized (a good method to hide some mistakes and ugly parts ) :

That's Awesome Total!
We could even animate it in Flash - make some stuff up for Newgrounds again... That'd be fun.

I had imagined something almost entirely different when you said about this earlier.
I was expecting (for some reason) an ascii rendering of a scene. This is miles better!

I'll draw up a list of images and pictures. That would be useful...
Maybe we could start working on some short animated sketches..?

Dunno, animations are not my strongest point.
