I now have a VERY LAME version of the game.

I have all the coding elements in place and just need to put in story, art, sound, and music.

I will be posting the code later. The power flickered in my house so I moved to my laptop for websurfing.

I wouldnt mind helping with some crituque of the script and helping with a few ideas, assuming thats ok with you

[SusanTheCat]

@lastmousestanding Thanks! Ill be contacting you later.

I cobbled together some placeholder sprites for the major characters using "Manga Clip Art". I'm too embarrassed to post them. I coloured them but my colouring skills are a bit lacking.

Chorus of 'whoa's, anyone?
Whoaaaaaaa. Cool.

[Sapphi]

Those T-shirts are sweet.
Does anyone (camp organizers) wear 'em in-game?
Or are they more of a merchandising thing? :b

Also, I meant to say this earlier, but your watercolor backgrounds are AWESOME. There's just something about seeing traditional mediums on a computer screen (and vice versa... computer art looks lovely on printed media to me). If I may ask... what size did you work at on paper for those?
