View Full Version : November FAotM - Leisure Suit Larry Speculation!

It's been 8 days and gingerneck hasn't been back to make the poll for the last one, so I thought I'd get the ball rolling with this month's competition seeing as I believe my entry for last month's competition would have ended up somewhere in the top 2.

(Honestly, I though Snarglett's entry was better but I've thought up an awesome theme.)

Anyway, Leisure Suit Larry. We've all known that it's Team17's latest big project for months now, but we don't really know anything about it. It's time for you to come up with your ideas for what you think the game will be like.

Maybe you have to join together blocks decorated with the faces of characters from the previous games in order to create combos and score big points. Maybe it'll be a platformer where you have to jump around the houses of wealthy pimps and make use of the ability to rewind time. Maybe it'll be a first person shooter where you clean the teeth of mutant beavers with your toothbrush launcher. Or maybe, just maybe, it'll be a GTA clone. You decide.

Note that any form of art counts, whether it's faked up screenshots, a general description of the game, concept art, a script for a cutscene, a character bio, a spoilleriffic GameFAQs walkthrough, anything at all.

Remember, this is a family forum, so nothing too naughty thanks.

The competition will close at the end of the month, in case you were an idiot and thought otherwise.

Fan Art involving humans!? Too hard for me D:

Who would expect me to enter seriously, anyways? :p

Wow this thread is quite possibly the deadest FAotM thread ever!

It definitely is, no entries :eek:

I didn't expect this to be that popular anyway, considering that the theme is really different to worms in general.

Perhaps someone should do the December FAOTM now?

Leave this one to run its course, and if there are no entries by the end of it, I'll create a generic Christmassy FAotM thread on Dec 1st.

This should do the trick:

In my vision,it takes place in the roman days.Old timey leisure suit larry loses his hair,and he needs to draw things on a tablet to get it back.

It's not even fan art.Delete it if you want,but...the idea is that people see it and state that making there own will get a guaranteed win.Do what you want.

If it isn't fanart, why are you posting what could be the most horrible submission to a FAOTM ever?

It really isn't.

Minute.... please, stop posting images.

It doesn't even have anything to do with Leisure Suit Larry.... no characters are included at all. Its just a badly drawn spear pointing at the 'tablet'

i want to see what others come up with,does not look like it will be happening :(

the idea was intesting.i ment the idea was intresting.of the contest.

And the idea was that old timey leisure suit larry loses his hair and has to get it back by drawing things on a tablet.

Wow this thread is quite possibly the deadest FAotM thread ever!
I have failed :(

But seriously, I was kind of hoping to encourage people to do some art that wasn't Worms related. The actual premise is "do anything, it doesn't even have to be a drawing, as long as you can pretend it has something will Leisure Suit Larry, even if it quite clearly doesn't".

I guess everyone just wants to draw worms. Oh well...

Looking back, it seems the last couple of FAotMs have been pretty dead anyway. Maybe it's time to put the whole FAotM thing to rest?

This technically falls within the rules :p If no-one else enters you'll win by default.

C'mon guys, don't let minute55 win with this terrible entry...

Of course, there's now gonna be a flood of bad fanart now just to take advantage of the situation, and then mabye someone will come up with an about-average fanart piece to save face.


Or else The Second Option will win again...

I would join in, by I honestly haven't played any leisure suit larry games at all.

Actually, I would like to draw some humans for the contest, but the scanner's broken, and I can't seem to get human proportions right on computer. I'll see if I can think of something.

Quick,lock the thread!

Seriously,I don't want to win.Melon,I'm with you.I wanted to see art that was not worms.(Not to mension what people came up with)I only made that awful submission to try and get more people posting.I only want to win if i put in effort.

I think Melon should win for the entry "Maybe you have to join together blocks decorated with the faces of characters from the previous games in order to create combos and score big points."

EDIT: Leisure Suit Larry is a game where you play an average guy named Larry who happens to wear a leisure suit a lot (I have no idea what a leisure suit actually is so I'm going to pretend it is a tracksuit). It is mostly based around minigames, such as working out how to unstick the zipper (up the front, you dirty-minded individuals), going for a jog (possibly in the style of QWOP (http://www.foddy.net/Athletics.html) only less insanely hard) and other activities one might do in a leisure suit like, I dunno, football or something. The minigames would vary in length from WarioWare-style microgames to Track and Field type stuff. It's not very exciting, but this may well put me ahead of minute55, in which case it is worth it.

Dearest Paul, you may find Wikipedia to be of your aid;

Also, picture of the first game;

That's Larry in the white suit there; the leisure suit as it were.

Is it just me or does he bear a slight resemblance to the cartoon adaption of Mr. Bean?

It would work much better if there was a puzzled Mr. Bean picture, but I couldn't get one.

AGH don't end the contest! I've got an idea and I'll try to get it done quick. It's basically a character stats screen and stuff.

EDIT: Right! Here we are:

I originally wanted to draw her biting a pencil between her teeth, but that's a bit too much. :p
And if you think I'm subtly referencing Paul in some way, you're completely right.

LMAO at get to second base. :D
Great one. If I (pretty much being the Leisure Suit Larry fanatic here (being 12 years old :o )) or anyone else better than you doesn't enter after you, I'll vote for you.

It's so beautiful that you shouldn't compare this to minute55's entry. ;)

I do believe we have 3 entries, if my awesome maths skills are still going strong.

I'll make the voting thread after dinner. Just letting everyone know I haven't forgotten.

We have?

I count one entry and one "thing" that should be obliterated from the universe.

Melon was joking- he was counting Pauls paragraph about Leisure Suit Larry as an entry.

thomasp

My mistake. Melon wasn't joking as Paul's is technically an entry, as detailed in the first post.
