Lady Boy Love Collection = win

Quoted for truth.

[increpare]

Okay.  I like that title as well...

[Terry]

I actually thought 4 in 1 was a pun on the fact that you're making all four games in 1D - my mistake Anyway, I think "Lady Boy Love Collection" is a pretty good title.

Yeah, you have a pretty weird sense for wordplays dude

[increpare]

So.  Got two of the bosses done today (that leaves two left to go, which shouldn't take too long). All bosses done; finally!  Edit: weapon graphics also done.

[Terry]

I thought you were doing Airship 2600 now?

Don't know what I'm going to do now...exotic dancing is just a placeholder (probably).  Of course, I could just have the fourth game be different from the one advertised on the box; that'd be pretty bootleggy as well, right?

I just love how this compo theme lends itself to all sorts of handwaving

Hmm.  I encountered some very weird untracable memory-allocation-related bugs yesterday...that occur sometimes in one particular spot: it was a bit offputting.  I spent a good bit of the day wrestling with them, but in the end I figured it's best to just continue trying to put in content, and if I stumble across the cause of that particular problem, to deal with it.

Have two of the levels more or less designed now.  Three to go (which shouldn't be too hard).  Still haven't put in moving platforms ... I will at some point.  Tossed in a couple of more animations and non-essential gameplay whatsits. 

(I still have to rearrange some of the basic menu screens, but I'm not really sure exactly how to approach that in a way that will be satisfyting: I'm happy to let it bubble away in my subconscious while I work on more pressing matters).

[increpare]

Almost ready to upload a beta version...have one-and-a-half levels of lady million left to design, then I'll upload binaries of what I do have to see what you guys think...hopefully tomorrow...*fingers/&c. crossed*

Neat, I've been looking forward to this

Some mockups:

It saves so much screen, kicks so much ass.=)

Hah, cheers.

Got the fourth game done.  Only half a level to put together, then I can upload the prerelease version.

Question: what's the deal with flickering?  How bad is it to have flickering on a screen?  Not whole, big-assed, on-screen flicker, but lots of small things flickering about?  hmm.  I guess you guys can judge for yourselves when I upload it.

I am awaiting this like the eager beaver I am, I've been dying to shoot babies out of an arm cannon ever since you mentioned that possibly being an ability.
