I'm working on this platform game for school, I'm not very good with coding so the jumping still acts a little fidgety sometimes, but anyways let me know if anything feels awkward so far.

^{UP= JUMP
LEFT= LEFT
RIGHT= RIGHT
DOWN= SIT
HOLD SPACE= WALK}

If you press left then up then down and keep all these keys down, he does something funky.

Nothing happening here, but that's probably because of my shitty keyboard that doesn't handle pressing multiple buttons very well.

on my PC he does a sort of double jump.

For kYn's game, the animal has a running animation if left and right are pressed simultaneously.  Also, it feels weird controlling a soft vector character with instant X acceleration.  A tiny bit of acceleration would go a long way for the game.

Started on a robot and it turned into a sheriff playing a banjo sat on a cactus (because he can  )

amazing

[Fuzz]

Some of my insanity (yes this is for a game).

I think I fixed this by now.

I have no idea how to fix this, it really shouldn't be happening.

I got this covered now, but I'm not too sure about it, I think the old behavior was better, I'll have to think about it.

Fucking awesome.

thank you

[Nate Kling]

fuzz, that looks wonderful I love that craziness.  Here's a game I'm developing right now.  Still in its early stages but its progressing quite fast.

[sereneworx]

That looks positively delicious.

POSITIVELY.

I cannot wait.

i don't know what I'm looking at but yet I am greatly flabbergasted

[increpare]

kYn, I like the smoothness, but the green puff of something when you land doesn't make much sense to me?

I'm just trying to finish off a project at the moment...really having to push myself through its last moments >_<

[kyn]

Well, it's just dust airing out. But either way, maybe I'll have to remove it, I can't seem to delete the objects from the stage when they finish themselves animating. AS3 fucking sucks, it was so easy in AS2.

finally working on saturated dreamers again due to an irresistible desire to work on it. i hope it lasts.

i did a new mouse cursor, cause i didn't like the old one. i copied the style a bit from immortal defense


when the mouse is not on the player's ship, you move it somewhere and the ship goes there


when the mouse is on the player's ship, you click on your ship to talk to your d00ds

[increpare]

the cursor does indeed look quite similar.  i finally got around to reading the design-doc; the game does sound as if it's going to be really interesting, though I can't fully imagine what it'll be like to play, or how the dynamics will feel to the player.  i hope your work on it picks up pace again : )

on my front, i have one small project to finish off in my back-log, and one collaboration to do, before i can get about to starting on some new ideas (the current ones being mostly unappetising but necessary-feeling dregs).

[mirosurabu]

I gave up. I like the idea behind the game, but I am not motivated. I work less on it with every day, even though I think it's very interesting concept. Shame on me for not being able to finish something within one week that was originally supposed to be finished within two days.

the design doc is a bit out of date since komera (the monster designer) has done some enemy designs which i haven't added to it yet. as for how it will play, even i don't know yet. i hope to find out: i think a critical mass of creatures (with creature behaviors) is needed before it will be entertaining to play, because the design relies so much on the interactions between the creatures. i only have about 3 creatures actually programmed in the game so far, i should try to up that to ten or so as soon as possible. the success of 'the path' (its mainly positive reviews) have also convinced me that an experimental game can still be widely accepted and find an audience even if it doesn't resemble other games, so i think a zelda-like game where you don't actually fight or kill enemies but instead just play with them and try to basically get them to like you could also find an audience.

good luck with your projects too, always looking forward to them. appetizing is a good word / analogy, working on games can work like hunger. if you're full you just can't eat food.

Inspired by Paul Eres I attempted to make my own mouse aim/movement shmup.
Or at least try to.

Aim the mouse to move, click to shoot.

If you click the image you can download the 3 level demo I made.
Nothing fancy really, just a triangle and two default game maker effects for the tail.
And some very crappy bouncing AI.
The problem I'm having is making the ship stay still when it reaches the point of the mouse...

just posted this in the collaboration thread but i might as well post it here
