I still prefer license to grill over any of their games.

That reminds me a quite old game where you shoot bats in a cemetery with the same art style as that one (and there's a huge chance that this game was german too)

That linled game is actually a remake of an older PC game for modern platforms and recycles most of the original art, so it is easily possible that the game it reminds you of was initially designed by the same people. However, since I cannot remember such a game I cannot verify.

I tried looking up that bat game on Mobygames, and wow, there's a lot of Moorhuhn/Crazy Chicken games. Kind of weird.

For those who are curious about mine, it's from an old Jim Henson movie called "The Dark Crystal" - it's a scene where Kira is gliding Jen to safety.

It's fan art Mary Kozakura from KagePro, one of my favorite character designs from Japanese ... technically it's animation, but she existed before the whole thing was given an anime adaptation.

I changed to it as some kinda leap-of-logic way of showing support of essel coming out, since it was pretty easy to pick out from the announcement that a bunch of her friends changed to Love Live avatars over at Doomworld as a way for her to do it without causing suspicion. Y'know, since Love Live and KagePro are heavily based on Japanese music and having an anime.

Not really, the licensing company has been giving out these licenses like crazy - I only worked on 3 of them, all by the same publisher.

I've been using Gene for a long time now, but I don't know if I've really been all that... punchy. Maybe I'll do the Xaser thing and use my standard avatar. :P

(Or I could go back to Jack O'Neill. RDA is always an option.)
