Very cute. I also love the “Merry Holidays” with the excessive exclamation marks :D :D
Sparky
Happy holidays, TIGSource!
P.S. – Spelunky is the most awesome holiday present ever. Thanks, Derek!

Merry Christmas, though I’m a bit late for saying so.

This is so awesome I had to make some cocoa just so I could spit it over my monitor!

1. Awesome.
2. Who’s the guy at the very top of the picture? He’s the only one I don’t recognize.
Levin
It’s simply amazing :) Good job Annabelle
Battlerager
This is so sexy.
pkt-zer0, that’s “Spelunky Guy” (Yeah I dunno if he has a name)
esquar
Who’s the guy on the bottom right with the striped shirt?
cute!
Gainsworth
IP!
From The Underside.

@FISH: Don’t say like that or you will totally shatter my heart :( Fez NEEDS to be done. For the humanity to survive.
Mark
I’m not entirely sure who everyone is, but I’ll make my guess:
Starting from the top, and kind of going clockwise:
Mulana
Karoshi
Noitu Love
Underside
Cave Story
Cave Story
Fez
I kinda think I’m wrong about Karoshi but it’s my best guess. :)
Mark
I had placed those in a column, but I guess that’s not allowed. Imagine there are commas there. :)
Also, I agree with Eclipse. Please don’t call Fez vaporware. Pleeeeeeeease. :(
lp
awesome! but whats up with ciellus?
Battlerager
Spelunky, Balding Quest, Noitu Love 2, The Underside, Cave Story (x2), Fez
Those are the games.

Battlerager WINS!
The rest, be ASHAMED. ;)

Or is that Lameza? :|
Hahaha, I LOVE YOU DEREK. <3
P.S. Fish is joking. He doesn't want to admit he's been working hard on Fez, which I've seen to be true!
P.P.S. Happy Holidays, y'all! One love.

all platformers? if there’s one genre I thing is overdone, it’s platformers.
happy holidays though,

If there’s one genre I think is overdone, it’s _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _. :P
http://studioeres.com/games/ Paul Eres
Sure, that one is too, but nobody is making a collage with just characters from that genre to represent indie games. I can understand that artists have personal preferences of course, it’s just that I just get tired of seeing so many platform games, which all basically play exactly alike. You jump, sometimes you shoot, and that’s it. They’re all Pitfall clones.

Any chance of a desktop background version?
FISH
theyre all platformers, but they’re all completely different.
except for cave story and the underside.
Derek
<3!!!
FISH
whats the spelunky dude’s name, Derek?
http://www.tscreative.net BMcC
Why do I have a feeling that’s not actually Paul…
corpus
This just in: Annabelle likes fun, cute games. Your emotionally deep games sadden her in her heart, Potentially Fake Paul.
Why must you sadden her?
Also, she’s the awesome artist so she gets to decide what’s hot and what’s not for her illustrations.
http://www.tscreative.net BMcC
Word.
Also: This picture is less about “genre” and more about iconic characters, Likely Fake Paul.

ONE LOVE

Oh it’s a using horizontal connotations, the further right in the image the further irrelevant the game.
Battlerager
How the hell is Noitu Love 2 irrelevant D:<
http://www.tscreative.net BMcC
I think “irrelevant” must have a different definition in Cowardly Internet Asshole World.
Derek
GO BACK TO MELMAC!
http://www.tscreative.net BMcC
Haha, he actually signed his post as “Anon,” but his IP matches “Alf,” who trolled the CPB post…

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
P.S. Alf is not me even though I had an Alf avatar recently.

Annabelle, please be a muffin and post wallpaper-version of this! I request 1680 x 1050

I hate to confess this, but the beautiful picture compelled me to play Cave Story… for the first time. Thanks, Annabelle!
Esquar

Annabelle, love the style and am now looking forward to the game you’re making
