There is no reason to say this is not a game. Sure it's short but it's definitely a game.

Personally I think this is one of my best looking games yet, why do you not like the graphics?

Awesome. I liked it. Gives the world a better outlook on killing, even virtual killing.
I killed the guy, but not before waiting long enough... didn't think of the Escape key
Excellent concept.

You already quoted my post:

"Oh yeah and about the game. I think its condescending and pretentious of you to present this game in such a way. People think all art has to have a "message" or "meaning". Sometimes games can have good meanings if executed well (pun also not intended), however, it is very rare.

The message also fails. There are several messages really. Video game violence, morality, power, no turning back, bla bla bla. Its hypocritical to pose morality questions in violent video games when the creator makes violent video games himself. If you are going to suggest such themes then why not go one-sided instead of going both paths? The no turning back is the condescending part I was typing of. You're preventing players from reaching an ending he/she may want to see and in doing so it makes the people who "won" (although winning or losing is doubtful in this game because some players may see shooting the chippy as success or failure) seem like they have greater intelligence over those who didn't win, and it seems to me like this is what you are trying to do. This also contradicts the game's meaning. I, the "player" (although not a lot of playing has been done), obviously has more power over the guy on the stick because I am the one with the gun and he is the one tied to a stick, yet it seems like by having a "winning" or "losing" option in such a game allows for the creator to have control over the player as well. Consider the fact that you are power hungry as well."

There was something else before that but it was directed towards someone else and you didn't quote it.

I like it

Press the esacpe key to win.

Video games are to escape reality not to reflect on it.

I didn't say it wasn't a game. But I won't argue over that - I'll avoid the arbitraryness.

It's not like I don't like the graphics. They are fitting in a sense, I was just pointing out the key elements that your game lacks in.

how'd you get it to save without a save file?

[Mercury92]

I've searched in reg edit and nothing. I want to remove that stuff from my registry :S

Great game. The idea was brilliant.
Too bad I shot the victim with no second thoughts.

This kind of violent gameplay is tasteless. Maybe you should delve into more complex, unique areas other creators have not tried; that would truly make you an artist.

2dCube, I found your mistake. I got an error. And that error explains it all. Brilliant thought you used:

@Pickleman
It says in the first couple of pages on how it was done.

[huh?]

awww, i thought i could free the guy by shooting the ropes. I immediately regretted that decision lol. nice concept =]

That was the smartest thing I ever read on the GMC.

haha, this is like when the beatles started making those ****ed up non-rhytmic songs;D

[foslock]

This game made me smile.

2Dcube, props for being such a darn good person.

[desertdweller]

Well, I'm a "bad" person. But, I'm blaming it on the title, "Execution." How could it not be an execution unless the guy had done something wrong? It should be something along the lines of "The Choice," or "Decisions."

A unique idea, but weird implementation. If he is on death row, and deserves to be executed, then I believe that the right thing to do is to kill him. He does look kinda depressed though...

[And nobody tell me that that's wrong because I am a Christian. The Bible says "Thou shalt not murder," not "Thou shalt not kill."]

[LimmingKenny]

So are you going to make an actual game that uses this technique? I'm sure you could think up something cool to do with this.

[lesslucid]

I tried to aim carefully at the ropes tying him, just where they protrude a little at the shoulder, to cut the rope and set him free... he died instantly. Well, I guess that tells you that that kind of trick shot is harder than it is in the movies.
