That I haven't marked down for.\r\rInnovation... it's been done before but not very often.\r\rIt's heaps of fun... until you get stuck and then try permutations without any success trying to work out how to make a damn "Army of the Dead". Once again, get people to beta test. Usually at least one person is watching IRC so you can usually get a tester (the blog isn't that well watched).\r\rNiiiiiice job with the graphics. Even had some really nice touches with the animation and stuff.\r\rI approve of this guitaring. And this toileting. Good job with the audio.\r\rMonkey scientist :D\r\rOverall a very good effort with pretty much just one really irritating bottleneck.\r\rApparently you've done some live update thingy which is good for community effort; however, a beta test or two would have been a very good idea - I suggest you make project dumps and release them while you're going through."},{"author_name":"Artix","author_uid":"3238","time":"Dec 20, 2010 @ 5:01am","epoch":1292820960,"text":"Thanks GreaseMonkey -- good feedback :-) I just uploaded a Timelapse if you want to check it out at: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=R3H9lBz3pYs"},{"author_name":"stevejohnson","author_uid":"3120","time":"Dec 20, 2010 @ 7:12am","epoch":1292828820,"text":"I got about halfway in but could never figure out how to make duck tape.

I created all artwork (mostly photos... set the camera on timer mode and took some of myself as you will see) and SoundFX (regretably most of which involve a toilet) were created during the contest from scratch. The game is simple, you combine items in the Cauldron to see what happens. You win by creating a Doom Knight. Thanks everyone, cannot wait to see what you made too!<\/p>","title":"Cauldron of Doom!"}
