  9. king said about 6 hours later:

    Merry Christmas, though I’m a bit late for saying so.

  10. Shooo said about 6 hours later:

    Super cool, Annebelle!

  11. Gainsworth said about 8 hours later:

    Presents from Wolffire, Derek AND Annie? :D

    Extra Awesome Christmas.

  12. bateleur said about 8 hours later:

    This is so awesome I had to make some cocoa just so I could spit it over my monitor!

  13. pkt-zer0 said about 9 hours later:
    1. Awesome.
    2. Who’s the guy at the very top of the picture? He’s the only one I don’t recognize.
  14. Levin said about 9 hours later:

    It’s simply amazing :) Good job Annabelle

  15. Battlerager said about 9 hours later:

    This is so sexy.

    pkt-zer0, that’s “Spelunky Guy” (Yeah I dunno if he has a name)

  16. esquar said about 9 hours later:

    Who’s the guy on the bottom right with the striped shirt?

    cute!

  17. Gainsworth said about 9 hours later:

    IP!

    From The Underside.

  18. Eclipse said about 9 hours later:

    @FISH: Don’t say like that or you will totally shatter my heart :( Fez NEEDS to be done. For the humanity to survive.

  19. Mark said about 11 hours later:

    I’m not entirely sure who everyone is, but I’ll make my guess:

    Starting from the top, and kind of going clockwise: Mulana Karoshi Noitu Love Underside Cave Story Cave Story Fez

    I kinda think I’m wrong about Karoshi but it’s my best guess. :)

  20. Mark said about 11 hours later:

    I had placed those in a column, but I guess that’s not allowed. Imagine there are commas there. :)

    Also, I agree with Eclipse. Please don’t call Fez vaporware. Pleeeeeeeease. :(

  21. lp said about 11 hours later:

    awesome! but whats up with ciellus?

  22. Battlerager said about 11 hours later:

    Spelunky, Balding Quest, Noitu Love 2, The Underside, Cave Story (x2), Fez

    Those are the games.

  23. BMcC said about 13 hours later:

    Battlerager WINS!

    The rest, be ASHAMED. ;)

  24. BMcC said about 14 hours later:

    Or is that Lameza? :|

    Hahaha, I LOVE YOU DEREK. <3

    P.S. Fish is joking. He doesn’t want to admit he’s been working hard on Fez, which I’ve seen to be true!

    P.P.S. Happy Holidays, y’all! One love.

  25. Paul Eres said about 14 hours later:

    all platformers? if there’s one genre I thing is overdone, it’s platformers.

    happy holidays though,

  26. BMcC said about 14 hours later:

    If there’s one genre I think is overdone, it’s _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _. :P

  27. Paul Eres said about 15 hours later:

    Sure, that one is too, but nobody is making a collage with just characters from that genre to represent indie games. I can understand that artists have personal preferences of course, it’s just that I just get tired of seeing so many platform games, which all basically play exactly alike. You jump, sometimes you shoot, and that’s it. They’re all Pitfall clones.

  28. FhnuZoag said about 15 hours later:

    Any chance of a desktop background version?

  29. FISH said about 17 hours later:

    theyre all platformers, but they’re all completely different.

    except for cave story and the underside.

  30. Derek said about 17 hours later:

    <3!!!

  31. FISH said about 18 hours later:

    whats the spelunky dude’s name, Derek?

  32. BMcC said about 19 hours later:

    Why do I have a feeling that’s not actually Paul…

  33. corpus said about 19 hours later:

    This just in: Annabelle likes fun, cute games. Your emotionally deep games sadden her in her heart, Potentially Fake Paul.

    Why must you sadden her?

    Also, she’s the awesome artist so she gets to decide what’s hot and what’s not for her illustrations.

  34. BMcC said about 20 hours later:

    Word.

    Also: This picture is less about “genre” and more about iconic characters, Likely Fake Paul.

  35. toastie said about 21 hours later:

    ONE LOVE

  36. Alf said about 22 hours later:

    Oh it’s a using horizontal connotations, the further right in the image the further irrelevant the game.

  37. Battlerager said about 22 hours later:

    How the hell is Noitu Love 2 irrelevant D:<

  38. BMcC said about 23 hours later:

    I think “irrelevant” must have a different definition in Cowardly Internet Asshole World.

  39. Derek said about 24 hours later:

    GO BACK TO MELMAC!

  40. BMcC said about 24 hours later:

    Haha, he actually signed his post as “Anon,” but his IP matches “Alf,” who trolled the CPB post…

  41. Teknogames said 1 day later:

    awesome

  42. deadeye said 1 day later:

    Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

    P.S. Alf is not me even though I had an Alf avatar recently.

  43. Siiseli said 1 day later:

    Annabelle, please be a muffin and post wallpaper-version of this! I request 1680 x 1050

  44. sinoth said 1 day later:

    I hate to confess this, but the beautiful picture compelled me to play Cave Story… for the first time. Thanks, Annabelle!

  45. Esquar said 1 day later:

    thats great sinoth!

    Annabelle, love the style and am now looking forward to the game you’re making

  48. AuthenticKaizen said 3 days later:

  49. Guy said 3 days later:

    I don’t understand why people think this is so great. It looks very childishlike.. P.S. I am stupid!

  50. Vmm said 3 days later:

    Annabelle, please be a muffin. Everyone assumes you’re a person and it would be an epic curveball.
