TinyInspiration by Shigor
Simple handdrawn adventure about an LD programmer who just can't find his inspiration...
Simple point and click, please note that there are several ways how to deal with both basic problems in the game. Simplest walkthrough can be done probably under a minute.
Also be warned, although no actual porn takes place, there are more then enough hints. Think Leisure Suit Larry.
No sounds and music :/
Currently web version is only in unity... I'll put a flash version up later after I'll fix some problems with it.
UPDATE:
I've made a postcompo flash version and also fixed stupid bug in the inventory which was making the game annoying in web build (damn Unity GUI to hell anyway). It's a very minor bugfix, but if you consider even this small change as breaking of the rules, you can try original untouched unity version. Have fun.
(I've also added a text file with some hints on the web).
UPDATE2 : Postmortem is online.

Several plays and I hadn't encountered a bug, hope you'll have the same luck :)
Maybe a walk through or a hint?
you can use piece of glass to cut brush (i forgot to add nailclipper as well), but you don't need to do this to get inside (tehre are four ways to get there)
That was pretty weird, but also pretty cool. The cop made me laugh.
It's good to see a point and click adventure game, and there was a lot of nice art.
Great job!
nice game - there are clearly not enough games like this
oh well, besides that, it looks like it is pretty good
John_conder9: upstairs gets you to the roof and out to the alley (by jumping down or climbing if you already have ladder and grapple there). I had to cut out two screens to get it done, attic scene was one of it.
Racarate: yeah, there were supposed to be arrows showing you which way you'll move, I even have all exit areas marked for correct arrows, but these arrows were among the stuff I just hadn't time to finish properly :)
Nice to play another game by you, this time totally different, an unfortunately male targeted -_- but it was well done for a graphic adventure.
In the end I gave the cop some coffee, cross dressed to get into the house, gave a jewel to the barbie and used the leather for a bondage session. xD da fuq did I just did???
Congrats ;-) keep on the crazy work.
Also sorry for you and other girl players, you're kinda minority here, so I felt safe when targeting male programmers and messing with them a bit :)
Impossible: yeah, it's misuse :) I've decided to use unity just to see if I can easily force it to do something like this. In the end it was even easier then I thought, with the expection of the stupid GUI, but that's problem in any unity game if you're using their own. I considered doing it in a flash, but I'm still mostly untouched by it, although I admit quick tests with flashdevelop and flashpunk seemed impressive and I'll definitely want to do some flash LD... maybe next time :)
I really like adventure game.
Very well done.
I have seen a few point and click adventure games in the comp so far but this is the first one that actually made me think about how to logically use everything rather than just click everything onto everything else. I liked that there were multiple paths through the game. Inventory UI was a little buggy in places. Overall not bad!
I kept dropping and immediately picking up inventory items until I realized that if you click in the inventory where it WILL BE, it picks it up again instantly.
I would have liked more hints when looking at items that I couldn't use yet to let me know that I was on the right track. For example, if the brush description had been clearer about the fact that it would make a good wig but that I couldn't pull the bristles out, I would have liked it better.
Overall, a solid entry with some minor UI issues.
Flash version was unplayable slow on Chrome/OSX :( Unity web player works thought.
I really, really liked the art. That must have been a HUGE amount of work.
I'll second the comment about the flash version being unplayably slow on OSX/Chrome. Unity player was fine.
I had the gear for at least two solutions. I figured I'd get her drunk and THEN give her the ring, but for some reason she was a lot less romantic after a thimbleful of pure ethanol.
And yeah, she's plastic and I'm asleep. Your main character is almost as sick as mine.
Good job!
