I think I may have found the problem....

IN OTHER NEWS LOOK AT THIS CRAP



I'm never using that many colors for one sprite again. It's too confusing and blends weird.

[happymonster]

What was/is the problem?

[namragog]

I'll let you know if the solution works. In the meantime, I probably won't be able to work on anything for a little bit, until I get a thingy in the mail.

[happymonster]

Holy water in the mail? 

[namragog]

It may be a battery thing. My battery seems to be the wrong kind, which is odd, because it was the right kind a while ago 

I mean, it's the same battery, but my computer apparently needs another kind now.

I'm just going to wait until it arrives and see if it fixes things.

Computer just crashed again. BSOD

You have a sexual finger. You fuck anything you touch.



By the way, I liek the last sprite. The glow in it's legs warms mine. Cozy, actually. I wanna take it as a pet.

[namragog]

Hey. Hey guys. Hey.



I'm alive. Hey.

[DustyDrake]

Uh...
It's okay, I wasn't planning on sleeping... uh, ever

[namragog]

Uh...
It's okay, I wasn't planning on sleeping... uh, ever

You have seen NOTHING YET, my boy.

You haven't even scratched the surface of this chronicle.

[eigenbom]

Welcome back, nice to see this is still alive.

[namragog]

Welcome back, nice to see this is still alive.

Why is alive emboldened?

@namragog

The art continues to be bizarre and awesome, I especially like that background or whatever (the last one you posted) but I still can't picture what sort of gameplay it'll be paired with, do you think this will fall into the puzzle-platformer category? Sorry if you wanted already mentioned this somewhere or if you don't wanna release that info yet, but I've just been curious about this game for a while and was hoping for a hint. Is a trailer or gameplay vid very far off?

[unsilentwill]

Now this is a good use of pixels, each one appears to be pulsing or blinking. And yeah, keeping colors down helps a ton and keeps the sharp clashing look.

Think of it as monkeyball mixed with a bullet-hell mixed with a platformer mixed with Yume Nikki.

Boom.

Thanks! I have been secretly in training. (That's not true at all, this was my first pixelthing in months.)

Tiny light and new colors test. Empty, small level.



All of the lights are yellow. Help.

[mokesmoe]

Try making them not yellow, that might solve the problem.

[Qqwy]

Try making them not yellow, that might solve the problem.

This. Also, I'm having a busy week, but now also lots of inspiration  .

[namragog]

I CAN'T FIX THIS AAAAAAAAGHHH HELP ME SOMEONE

Concept farts.

[mokesmoe]

If you want help with the lights, telling us what your using to make them would help.

I think you're using gamemaker right? Are you using EasyLighting something point something? I haven't had a problem setting two lights to different colours before in that.

[namragog]

I'm using Game Maker with Easylighting, but It should work. I see no reason why it isn't.

It just stopped working for everything at once.

oInitLight create:
 //Initializes the lighting system
lt_sysset(1, -1, make_color_rgb(60, 60, 60), 1, false, 1, 0, 0);
//               ^This changes the color of the background where you have no lighting

//This executes the code from each lamp object
with (Streetlamp) {
    //Note that centerlights_s is a sprite that I added
    lampLight = lt_lightadd(centerlights_s, 0, x , y-20 , 0.4, 0.4, 0, c_yellow, 1, false);
    //                                                            ^This changes the color of your lamp lights
}


SunLight = lt_lightadd(solarisX, 0, x , y , 1, 1, 0, c_white, 0, false);

//This executes the code from each lamp object
with (floureslights) {
    //Note that centerlights_s is a sprite that I added
    floLight = lt_lightadd(Spr_flourescent, 0, x , y , 1, 1, 0, c_white, 1, false);
    //                                                            ^This changes the color of your lamp lights
}


with (Spark) {
    //Note that centerlights_s is a sprite that I added
    myLight = lt_lightadd(Spark, 0, x , y , 1, 1, 0, c_white, 1, false);

There's more in the moving objects, but that may be irrelevant.
