Today, well, roughly the last two weeks, I gave Flixel a try (along with iTween, Ogmo Editor and SFXR) and came up with this platformer/shooter wip.
I'm just amazed at how fast the project is growing thanks to these API/softwares!

It's definitely cute!  My biggest complaint (although not that big) is that it's kind of hard to turn around.  I want the character to turn around faster when i press the direction opposite the one he's going.

Makes me think "Gimmy" or "Timbert"

I think I have to disagree with this idea; There's plenty of people doing things wrong, all the time. I fail to see how that means I owe them anything. Shouldn't we reward success rather than failure? But it is an interesting point nonetheless.

They're doing the legwork for you though, failing where you would have and saving you time.  Maybe they don't deserve a reward for it, but they do deserve compensation for time and labor.

I managed to beat Voltorometer, despite the trouble I was having last time.  The ending comes in two videos, due to the window changing size at the end!  *1* *2*

Also, Crystaaaaalis

P.S. thanks for all the compliments 

I think this stuff looks really cool.

What about terrible games with great boxart?  Those seem like they might be more difficult to find.

tamago is also egg in japanese, i believe.  so do you have two first names or is timmy your middle name then?

I wanted to post in the year-old "What does your username mean" thread, but I'll just post my answer here and hope that GILBERT Timmy reads it and answers the same question.

You are what you eat.

Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts is much easier, iirc.

Still fucking hard, just more fair imo.

I agree, but I have at least beaten SGnG.  Never had the patience for GnG.

Ignoring other people's mistakes only make you more likely to repeat them. Of course, I'm a game designer, so perhaps this doesn't hold true for the masses. But I did state that in my review. And I'm assuming we're all game developers here, yes?

Then you are getting a benefit from someone's product.  You owe them money. 

And please don't take this as an accusation, but I'm curious as to what are some of the games you've designed.

Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts is much easier, iirc.

I got my homework done with time to spare!  Take that, computational geometry!

Today I played the first bit of Voltorometer Recharged by JoeInky.

Also, Crystalis happened.  Hard.

made some more progress a tad bit...



and the old one for comparison:

This is amazing 

It's not as good as The Third Policeman, alas, but he's still a great author.

Yay!  Does anyone else know books that one might like if one likes The Third Policeman?

Looks adorable.  I wanna give it a shot when it's finished!

manky that's really interesting.  it's like the image has two layers to it, with the face farther away and the other stuff nearer.  it does a good job of replicating the effect of something further away being blurry with something nearer being clear and vice versa.  cool!

One thing I hear Chinese people say a lot is "nega", which essentially is the same as the English "um".  It's kind of funny to hear it so much.

Horowitz playing the Moonlight Sonata.  I love the 3rd mvmt!

Two midterms in one day?
