posting an insulting comment about how someone should write less stuff in their own devlog: not trolling

defending someone's right to post whatever amount of material they want in their own devlog: trolling

Jeez, all he said was there was a lot of text and that a lot of people aren't going to want to read that much. You're the one that accused him of a mental disability.

I think Paul is having trouble removing the stick from his arse

Just want to follow this - it sounds pretty interesting.

I am confused as to why the game will be made two different times, why not just pick the one, and make that one amazing?

Well, it's progress towards developing overhead adventure *and* platformer games, both of which I'm admittedly fresh to programming for. Kind of a stepping stone project/concept towards the eventual "game about gaming" I want to make.

I've got a fair amount of assets together, along with my tile-laying code that creates the chunks, and a good grip of the chunks coded, although in particular, I'm stumbling upon designing "trap themed" rooms that are open once on each axis (IE: to the top and left, etc.)... bearing in mind that these will be neighboring combat and navigation zones, not other trap zones.

Also kind of debating on whether or not I should minimize the design - focus entirely on one weapon type and bombs exclusively; make other items all have passive effects. It's a tough call, because I really want a project I can hammer out in a few months, not a couple of years...

Churning out level chunker code. To some... interesting results.



It's certainly some kind of something, alright.


EDIT: At least the baseline generator, sans tile-laying engine, is producing some promising results!
