Hey guys!

Gustavo, the artist behind "Missing Translation", just picked the winners, do you want to know who they are?

*drums*


We said two peope would get a free key to unlock the Deluxe Edition, but there were so many cool submissions that we're going to choose four people and get them a copy of the Deluxe Edition, if they already own it they can gift it to a friend :)

Gustavo: I really enjoy this piece and love the lego connection. Probably, if the head was drawn in a different style it would've found a place on the top 3 since it works nicely as a game poster

#4

There is something about this drawing that I find really funny. The expression on both characters makes me imagine all type of scenarios – he's rude and completely ignored her, they argued, she's shy and can't find the courage to talk with him. The possibilities are endless! Meanwhile, cats are chilling on the roof, probably commenting on those dumb humanoids.


#3

In a completely different style of the other two illustrations, this manga-style pencil drawing feels a bit nostalgic to me, from the times I used to draw manga all the time during my teen years. Overall the scene choice is really cool, with the detail of the little tokens on the right, a hint to the game's alternative ending. Look how peaceful she's sleeping, contrary to our cat (here a kitten) who seems to be having some nightmares? Well done!


#2

I think this piece sums up the game really well. A friendly alien trying to contact a foreigner who doesn't understand anything of what he is saying... and cats who really don't care about what's happening and enjoy living the good life (as a side note, cats are the key to my personal theory about the game... ask Ludipe). In a moment of indecision it was the expression of the cat and the worried look of our main character that convinced me. It's a really nice piece!


#1

From the start this piece became my favorite for a bunch of reasons – the use of brownish colors instead of our grey tones, by featuring and giving a charismatic touch to my favorite character in the game, the use of perspective with a friendly barmaid peeking in the background and finally the mysterious character entering the bar, cleverly hinted to be the human female character which makes our alien cowboy a flirty Don Juan! I love it!

We just got back from a huge event and we'll be showcasing "Missing Translation" somewhere else tomorrow, so please, be patient as we contact the winners to send them their prizes :)

Hey everyone!

Launch day was crazy and we're still trying to answer all the e-mails and messages that we got. As you probably know we encountered some issues that we are trying to solve.

We know you want to have cards, backgrounds and emoticons and that's probably our top-one priority, we want you to collect those cards :)

:missinggirl: :missingsay::missingguy:

While we work on that we wanted to do something for you, 'cause we loved how the whole community enjoyed the game and decided to spend their time posting on the forums, uploading screenshots, writing reviews and even creating achievement guides. That was truly awesome guys! ;)

We're posting some of the content you created on our twitter profile but we want to feature more stuff.

So we've decided to host a fan art contest!

• Make something based on "Missing Translation", illustrations, pixel art, papercraft, whatever you want
  
• Upload it to Steam, send us a e-mail (info@alpixelgames.com) or mention us on twitter before Friday the 2nd (October).
  
• Gustavo (the artist behind "Missing Translation") will pick the winners

• Best fan art! .- Gustavo will draw an exclusive piece of art(like the ones from the deluxe edition) for you, would you like a portrait? Maybe one of the aliens running around your room? :)
  
• 2nd and 3rd place! .- Free upgrades to Deluxe Edition (if they already own it they'll be given a gift copy to share with a friend)

So go ahead! Go crazy, draw stuff and tell us about it. We want to keep bragging about our community :)
