OK, I totally failed this month. Not even a title screen!

The best I can do is one screenshot with 1 background and 2 characters on their way to being finished.



I'm going to try again in April though. Well done to those who got something out.

@Intense Degree That seems like a good place to start 
I promise to have at least the title screen aaand menu music (I like to start with the music )

I like your thinking. If I get time I'm going to try and knock up some music too.

So far life has got in the way a fair bit, but I have 2 character sprites and the beginnings of a background on the way so I am feeling good about getting something done, even if I haven't managed a title screen yet!

OK, it's been too long since I've managed one of these. I've started a few over the last couple of years but then life kept happening. Well this time i'm going to say up front that I am going to release something this month even if it's only a title screen!

I haven't even got an idea yet, but i'm hoping that making this pledge will motivate me to get something done and released for the first time in ages.

Will anyone else join me in the March MAGS At Least A Title Screen Pledge?!

Thanks guys!

And Adeel, that's really too kind about poor old Colin!

A door?

                                     
                                 
                                
                                     
                               

I don't know if this is a good place for it but I am in need of help so I ask, as the thread title says. I have a question for English native speakers. What does "ice" stand for? Apart from the obvious frozen water. I know it could also mean metaamphetamine and diamond jewelery. But what else? The sentence is:

"I also really need someone to bring ice. I had a sign-up sheet at the gathering and nobody fucking chose ice. What's the big deal? Come on, somebody. Be a rock star. Own it. (pause) Ice, out."

The only other use I can think of for Ice (which doesn't fit the context anyway) is as an acronym for "In Case of Emergency". A few years ago there was a thing about having an emergency contact number on your mobile phone saved as "ICE" so people knew who to phone.

However, in your example above, the guy is clearly wandering around with Ned Stark's sword!

Drop off the bottom of the page would you Bump thread? NEVER!

Nothing to see here.

Move along.

That is truly terrible. I mean I don't think the comma after "hence" is even necessary.

Bump.

Mods be chasin' this thread...



...but they can't catch it.

Probably not that helpful but I think I would just say "improve". 

Pad out is probably the best bet.
