I cant win...now I'm having trouble with what I can only assume is the seagull puzzle piece in crafty John's house...I have the cat, the dog, the mouse and the fish..all nicely put into the picture...but the last one is eluding me...that and those miniature devils kicking me out...damn kids.:laff:

Hint:
Where would you most likely find a bird? Think vertically.

Spoiler:
Check the highest place of the house, the attic.

Thanks mate...that's where I found the mouse...I didn't think that there may be more than one.

Nope..apart from the journal, I can find nothing else...its says that "maggie" has vanished but will probably turn up, but I can find nothing else...its my old age I'm afraid.

Ok, got it...wrong attic..I didnt realise that there might be TWO..cunning.
Right just the ring to find in that apple guys place...there seems to be a key to find..

Hey guys, I thought you might like some high-res copies of my sister's paintings.

Her painting style goes very well with the pseudo-cell-shaded style of the game. She did a great job :) I especially liked the artwork of the animal puzzle. The whole concept is great in general. When I saw this part in the trailer I was completely sold and couldn't wait for the mod to come out.

Did you also let her paint the animated textures?

I was very happy playing this.
Thanks Digi & Sliptip and everyone else involved. :thumb:

My favorite was the Gardener's House.
I had a big smile the whole time I was in there.

I finally created an outlined font to increase the game's readability. This is especially helpful if you run the game with ddfix' bloom. Here are some comparison screens. The difference is not that visible thanks to the screenshots' low resolution, but ingame it's a difference like day and night:

However, messing with the palette also changed the colors for the menu fonts. Since I didn't know where the menu colors are defined, I left it that way. I actually prefer the new look of the options menu. The save and load buttons don't look too appealing, though. They also don't show an overlay. I'll take another look at the issue tomorrow, but I doubt I can sort it out. Anyway, I think that the outline in the menu does look better than having none. What do you guys think?

Not a bad idea on the outline font, but you might want to run that by Sliptip and/or Digi first.

What a funny and fun game; however those wall textures make me seasick.
