Re: No Place like AAO for the Holidays
Well, I should probably step in here and save your from quadruple posting.DJJ6800 wrote:Also, I know I'm triple posting. Come at me, Enthalpy.
I'm glad that trialdude's case turned out well. Sometimes, the thing to do really is a short but clever regular trial (he said, despite having never done one of those ever).
I'm happy that you liked what we had of the case! It's arguably the most ambitious single-game AAO project I've worked on, and so armenator and I spent a really long time planning everything out (because it is all very interconnected) and didn't end up with all that much scripted. But we polished it to a shine!
For the holiday in question, this all started out with an old idea I had about having to solve a mystery that was actually several mysteries split over 10-year intervals, so having it be connected to a holiday actually made a lot of sense. I suppose we could have done the same basic case on Halloween, but I think it works better without the baggage of being a holiday regular people know about and have traditions about. And Beltane happens to be way easier to spell than Plan A, Walpurgisnacht!
EDIT:
Well, that's up to armenator to keep me on track, I guess!DJJ6800 wrote:The characters are interesting, the writing is clever and I'd definitely love to see the completed case (if it's ever completed, knowing clcman's reputation).

Re: No Place like AAO for the Holidays
Well, the wait is over. Now, I originally planned a big awards ceremony with cameos and smaller awards. However, due to the fact that we ended up with only two entrants, I decided that it wasn't worth it in the end.
"BUT I HAD AN AMAZING ROLE TO PLAY IN THE CERE-"
Shut up, Papyrus.
Anyway, it was tough deciding between these two very skilled entries but in the end, only one can be the winner. And for the second place entry, don't worry. You were still fun to play, but I liked the other entry just a bit more. And hey, at least you end up taking second place.
So without further ado, the winner of the "No Place like AAO for the Holidays" comp is...*drumroll*
Congratulations to all the entrants and thank you to all those who signed up at any point. This was a fun comp to host and I hope to see much more great comps in the future.

Re: No Place like AAO for the Holidays
Well! Considering that this was the first ever case comp that I officially took part in (without dropping out in a month's time with nothing done), I'm proud that clcman's and my got such a good review! (We were *prooooooooooooooooooooooooooooobably* too ambitious taking on literally four cases in one, but whatever, we got like, 10% of it submitted.
I'm very proud of clcman for doing a great job as our case's organizer! I think we did quite well!
I look forward to the next comp!

----------
OUR CASES:
- Athena Cykes ~ Locks on the Heart (synopsis)
- May Your Memory Be a Blessing
- A Little Piece of Healing
- The Killer Turnabout (~70% complete!)
- I guess we made the Looking Back case comp ceremony with Super legenda, but that's not an actual case
