You know it doesn’t really feel like Pixel, and I think that’s a good thing. The artwork’s rather nice, in my opinion!

Ron Gilbert and Penny Arcade Adventures

Whoa. It has just been announced that Monkey Island creator Ron Gilbert is working with Hothead and Penny Arcade on Penny Arcade Adventures.

That is pretty darn sweet. Ron is one of my heroes. My hopes for this project have just increased!

Gesundheit!

Posted by Derek Yu Tue, 20 Mar 2007 11:47:00 GMT

Gesundheit! is a beautiful little game (or should I say 12-level demo), and it’s not surprising, considering the creator is professional illustrator Matt Hammill. With “handmade scratchboard graphics and a soundtrack filled with toy instruments,” Matt has created a world that seems like it could stretch far beyond the simplistic gameplay. Which isn’t to say the single-level puzzle-solving is bad by any stretch of the imagination. But with a game that looks and sounds this good I really want to play a full-scale adventure. Maybe next time?

(By the way, I had no idea you could make a game like this with Adventure Game Studio.)

I thought this was funny as hell. By Joakim Sandberg, aka konjak. Check out other comics by TIGForumers (more than meets the eye LOL) in our awesome TIGSource comic thread!

We’re looking for somebody to potentially do a weekly comic for TIGSource about indie gaming. Interested? Might be a nice way to pimp your work and website.
