Hello again.
The delay with the German censorship question has allowed time for additional NPCs to be added. What A Fool's Art Gallery is now, for launch, is the most normal, core version of the game that will be released. It will only get weirder as time goes on and updates are released. The core game is the actual art gallery itself, and some Other Areas. I do not want to "force the weird"; if that makes any sense to anyone else. There is "forced weird" and there is "naturally weird". Naturally weird ideas come on their own in a sort of subtle way, while forced weird is throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks, even when it should't stick. While waiting for approval from The Authorities I have added a couple few new NPCs which start this process of amplifying the weird.
You've got flying eyeballs, All Seeing Eyes, and alchemaic Sun Moons floating around the place now.
One last secret area has to be added before launch, the German Censored Art Secret. I have to make a giant sign for it so people know they are the entering: "Die Ausstellung "Entartete Kunst"" ("The exhibition “Degenerate Art”) Area, and to mentally brace themselves for the trauma and horror, even though they have probably already seen the uncensored version.
I also had to recensore the censored images with more censorship because the censorship symbol I had picked, the smiley face, is actually copyrighted. So before getting sued by a Frenchmen, it seemed like a good idea to change that.
Imagine getting sued by the French over some political drama with the Germans.
UPDATE:
The German Censored Art Secret room is up and running. I am going to have to censor more images as a result. But it's worth the effort to mock a government. I am not publically showing off any of the secret rooms, or areas in the game; in and effort to keep them as a surprise. But this one room will be the exception. The swastikas spin and are psychedelic. Also now there are flying swastikas zipping around different areas. Just like the hockey team.
