recently did a little self-imposed 24-hour game jam with a friend of mine, i used it as an excuse to get familiar with gamemaker and since free gamemaker only lets you export to opera's game website now everyone else can play it too

the simple answer is that “dark pinocchio” is an adaptational pitch, pinocchio is kind of creepy in concept and you can hone in on that in weird ways, but “dark winnie the pooh” is a contrarian pitch, winnie the pooh is only sweet and lighthearted
