Yeah, I couldn't find a tool for the mac that did what the clickteam tool does for windows - the windows patch is about 300kb, but Stephen used a thing on the Mac called iPatch and it generated a 70Mb patch file (almost twice the size of the game). I don't really know what I'm going to do there - might just end up distributing a 70Mb patch...

Just wanted to chime in here: I can't recommend Souleye strongly enough - when he got involved in VVVVVV he took a real interest in the game and really invested himself creatively in it. His soundtrack for VVVVVV is phenomenal.

Fantastic - this is amazing, especially for 48 hours.

I still think making it predesigned levels was good for the game. :-)

Oh no, I totally agree! I'm just hoping you have that old version too, I really liked it.

This is so cool!

Do you still have the version with the procedurally generated overworld from TIGJam? I really loved exploring it

Er, Jasper, do you have my statcounter page counting script on that page? I'm seeing it show up on my logs!

Site looks great Actually it reminds me that I've been meaning to spruce up my own site for AGES.

[-age, location, occupation]

I dunno, they only asked six

Either way, an interview in the wall street journal is kind of a badge of honour, heh. It's nice to be able to tell real life people stuff that's happening with the game and for them to actually know what I'm talking about Nobody I knew understood why I was so excited about Rock Paper Shotgun writing about it (it's a big gaming website, mam) or Edge (8 out of 10 is a really good score to get from Edge, dad).

Here are the other questions I answered:

-age, location, occupation

I'm 26, I'm currently living in Monaghan, Ireland, and I'm making
games full time!

-What other games are you generally interested in?

I like any game that has a world I can get immersed in, or anything
that's driven by an interesting concept. I also tend to enjoy games
that challenge me in an interesting way.

-What's your next project?

This year I'm hoping to work on a short new game every month, although
with VVVVVV's launch I haven't had a lot of time to work on my January
game very much yet. I'm looking forward to trying a lot of new things
this year.


And they changed this one a bit:

-Have you always had an interest in outer space/space stations?

Heh, not really. The reason why I set the game in space is because it
*sort of* explains the whole zero-gravity jumping thing in a nice way.

[Wall Street Journal]

Yeah, did a couple of interviews recently! I answered a few questions for the Wall Street Journal too:

Although they cut a lot out so it comes across a bit terse or something.

Sorry I haven't been around much since this was released, I've been kinda exhausted... I'm working on a patch at the moment which'll hopefully solve a few of the bugs that people have mentioned.

We could totally have one later in the year, maybe when I'm not so totally exhausted, heh.

Can't wait for PIGJam! Is that happening or was that just pub talk?

Count me in for that hostel room

Terry surprised me for being a bit more quite and seemingly uninterested than I expected and increpare for being way too more friendly than I expected and less productive than what everyone here I guess expected.

Sorry, I can be kinda shy - and it didn't help that I was completely exhausted from the whole VVVVVV thing. Wish I'd gotten more of a chance to talk to you, I wanted to team up on something

Made this today:



Bridge

Yes, you can come along! Please do!

 

Christ, I haven't packed or got my laptop ready or anything...

Can't wait for this. I really need it right now.

Nearly there I just have to fix a few things on the demo... and I haven't sent out the preorders yet, aggghhhhhhh

It's technically still the 10th until I go to sleep. Solution: never sleep

I updated the site. Stuff is happening!

Well, no, I'll probably manage to get it out tomorrow. But it's a lot of pressure

it's gonna suck when I don't manage to get this out until the 11th, huh

I'm so excited!

Also terrified
