moi is sabotaging me

I don't know what to say, the music works fine for me. Construct becomes very unstable when the project grows.
Also, I recommend turning the speakers on.

Another Silver Sword build!!



This one has loads of improvements.
* A more professional-looking main menu.
* Selectable playable characters with different HP, footspeed and respawn abilities.
* Infinite respawn added for 'Treasure Hunt' mode.
* 'Treasure Hunt' mode completed with a final boss and an ending.
* 'Boss Gauntlet' mode: a short hard game where you battle various familiar-looking monsters in succession, none of which appear in any other mode. Currently lacks an ending.
* Unique 'weak hit' colours and sounds for the 3 elements, to more properly distinguish them.

Right now all that's left is a third level for Journey and an ending for Boss Gauntlet. Oh, and some proper music! (Do I have any generous donors in the audience?)

P.S: Here are some hints for Treasure Hunt:
- If you don't know Silver Sword's mechanics yet, play Journey's first level.
- North of the Restful Peace Grove is the Fire Brand, the Loop, and the Ice Brand. South is the Sandals and the Silver Brand. The intended order is Fire -> Sandals -> Silver -> Ice -> Loop.

Did you even try running the game?

Heya,

I'd been following the updates from indiegames.com and jumped at the chance when I saw there were some slots free. I'm really excited about this project, and have picked Dam Busters. There's something about a bear shooting fireballs out of his belly that inspires me

Anyway, I'd just like to ask about the rules of the project. You mention that you'd like it to run just by clicking an exe file. Does this mean developing in XNA is a no-no? Just thought I'd ask, as I like working with XNA, but am happy to work in something else if it's a problem.

I started looking through the thread to see if people have already asked, but it's 89 pages long ^^;

I don't think anything has been said officially but personally I'd recommend against XNA. Simply because XNA games have a habit of just crashing on people's machines if they don't have the right frameworks installed before they run the game. So not sure it would give the smooth experience of jumping between games that is intended.

I always thought it was a beaver, but after watching the game's two sprites, who the hell knows. Good luck!

Why the heck would a beaver want to bust a dam.


I didn't put a question mark there because there is no answer.

Aw... I was eying Dam Busters.
Ah well.

And expect Illuminator to be finished later today, once I work out a few more bugs.

maybe they're busting an enemy colony's dam.  Or maybe they're like Greenpeace beavers.

Yes, I've thought about this.

City of Doom update. I think it shouldn't take too much longer now.

XNA is a problem for some but you should do it anyways. I still can't fathom why people have XNA issues these days. Put a readme in with your game instructing those to install the XNA runtime, problem should be fixed. No?

Just don't use the silly xna deploy thing, hate that.

[JMickle]

the rules explicitly say you shouldn't have to install anything.

[deathtotheweird]

who cares, fuck that rule.

[pgil]

Sure, but if too many people have trouble running your game, Podunkian will drop it (see: moi's game one page ago).

and it definitely wasn't the fact that it was, you know, unfinished or anything.

[Fifth]

Okay, I'm calling Illuminator "done".
There's one bug that's been happening to one friend of mine (that I hope won't happen with anyone else), so I'll keep looking into that...  But otherwise it's done enough.



ILLUMINATOR

As always, C is flashlight; leave it off and it will overcharge, which you can use to can kill ghouls.
X is action: pick up/plug in items, open/close doors.
Esc is pause.

Kill enough ghouls to weaken the stitches on the tear in space, so that you can follow the ghouls through the houses and rescue your sister.
