One of three things is happening here:

• All these photos were taken at the same time
• A special filter was used to hide the fact that these are stinky people who do not change their clothes
• Kokoromi have uniforms!

I'm hoping it's the last one.

Panda Rescue Force, I raise my hat to thee.
 

Braid ripoff.

Hilarious jokes aside, I find this rather pretty. Nice one.

EDIT: Added "hilarious", because it was.

There are quite a few Australian TIGers, yeah. Unfortunately though we don't really have a scene AFAIK. I think we'd do better to start small with stuff like mini-jams at GameConnect.

Dweller
It's a free phone roguelike. Perfect bus entertainment.

This thread is devolving.

You're right, it was very immature of me.
I've grown up now.

<--- Got bored, did this. Probably bindun.

It's also possible to compile ActionScript from the commandline, so you can just use your favourite text editor if you don't need animation tools.

EDIT: And it's free to do that.

Hot damn!

Jumper 1 was shit hot. I can only assume this shit is hotter!
 

I guess it's all down to what kind of game you want to make.
If you're planning to churn out a lot of levels then a good editor is important, but if you're just using a few levels to show your ideas then it might be better not to bother.

In ROM CHECK FAIL I used a single text file for all my level data. It looks a bit like a nethack screenshot
Pro: Can use standard text editors like notepad, dead easy to import into engine, cost almost no development time
Con: Not much fun to edit

For Polychromatic Funk Monkey I used a combination of hardcoding in the game source (for the starting zone) and a variety of automatic level generation processes.
Pro: Zero implementation time, some replayability (which is okay for players, but brilliant for keeping playtesting interesting)
Con: Again, not much fun to edit. Also the automatically generated area could occasionally be unsolvable or un-fun, and eventually feels samey.

Great stuff! I just wish you'd written it a few months ago when I started working in flash

You might want to change the thread subject if you can though. It sounds like spam.

A kind fellow I met on the internets ported Fishie Fishie and ROM CHECK FAIL for me. They're not lengthy diversions, but they're free.

Click for bonus points.

I think the prob with the scanlines is that they move. Keep 'em static and they won't be so distracting.

Nice one. I'm also going through my regular "maybe I should learn Flash" phase, so I totally feel your pain.

Is it safe to hardcode scan codes for your keys like that? I used to do that for my games in a different environment, and it screwed me when my games were ported to other platforms.

Well deserved.
I fucking love this game.

Looks and sounds awesome. I'm very keen on this one.

Just one question:
Where are the trees?
