About that conundrum: why not consider creating a condition based query. If player has already watched introduction then let them skip with x key else prevent skipping. Alternatively add an option to the game menu which allows them to enable / disable the introduction / tutorial hint system at will.

From what I understood on the main page of the game jam, the color palette wasn't really all that restricted... There seemed to be loads of different palettes to choose from, or maybe I was just looking at the wrong thing - who knows!

Ah yes I see, not a massive difference, but still quite a lot of difference... just from adding more colors & a few additional details, things seem to pop out more. :)

Hmm it was ok last time I was over in the UK. They've been trying to modernize the town a little bit. I don't live in UK anymore, have been in Spain for over 10+ years.
I was going to ask in my comment whether or not you had been stalking me, but thought better against it. :D
You said in one of your other comments that you intend on improving the graphics a little & possibly adding a voice-over to the finished version? Still planning on doing that?

ez Gordon :) I didn't know you had won the game jam. Actually not checked back on that page since you linked the demo on the vs portal.
The little demo you provided was quite fun & interesting - although I'm not a massive fan of retro pixel art, as you already know. :)
By the way 2 of the characters names share things in common with me: one being my first name (Lee) & other being my hometown (Wakefield) - I'll just pretend it's an unintentional nod towards me & whatever help I end up providing you via the forum, shall I? :D
Anyway... looking forward to seeing how the game comes out!
* edit: also my half sister is called "Maya".

I run English support for the Visionaire Studio game engine. I also provide the documentation for the engine as well as various tutorials & Lua scripts. I also provide development & scripting services/support for games being developed in Visionaire Studio. I am also quite proficient at planning & coming up with workaround solutions to various problems &/or limitations. Aside from the Visionaire Stuff I've mentioned above: I've been known to dabble with music production & web design over the years. I even ran a music production forum & indie record label for a few years. I have hypothetical insomnia & I have a strong dislike of modern shorthand English mobile texting; what's wrong with typing out English the way it's supposed to be written? </profile></rant></end>
