yeah that worked - ta! fun game, more levels please 

1376 best score so far...

hmm - sorry still 0kb. Could you zip it perhaps? (maybe its a firewall thing)

i tried to dload , and its 0 kb

awesome concept!
Will all the insects/animals be capitalist swine? or will some be fellow comrades to your great socialist cause (such as redback spiders/ladybirds/cochineal beetles...)?

He's demaking the demake competition! We have our meta-winner!
Looks cool.

funny how people tend to assume posters are `hes`    (having said that - I wouldn't be surprised if more than 85% were blokes)

of course - TF2 as top down shooter! fantastic mockup

Well I am back form vacation and it looks like I have time to finish this what with the extension and all. Here's some more progress doodles.

LOOKS FAB! (and still makes me think of amiga hammerfist a bit) 

i like the new timings on the nut respawns  (i know they aint nuts, but the look like acorns to me).
Have you considered thickening the spotlight outlines a little so its easier to spot them with your peripheral vision (or maybe i`m just sat too close to the monitor)

[until]

cor this takes me back to the days of snoopy tennis/donkey kong junior 

my only suggestion would be to make it that the nuts/bags/coins you steal don't respawn until you collect one from each guard.

that way you don't pilfer from the easiest guard continually, and also would setup a nice completion rhythm (1,2,3 done, 1,2,3 done , etc).

hmm, now i wonder if i still have donkey jr in a box somewhere here...

sadly now not sure if there will even be a rough demo ready for the deadline. See how things go.. 

re. game titles, how easy is it to protect the name of your game (or check that someone might already own it)?

For example, a DS game I once worked on had no title, so the publisher had to find a name for it. Is there a database (like domain names) where you can check who owns what, and register your own titles?

thanks in advance.

and another version of doom3, in an Infocom stylee on something like an Amstrad PCW:

looks super fab

I love that the game now has all those asteroids moving in parallax, adds so much depth 
Excuse my cheekyness, but any chance for the far background to scroll very slightly too? its just begging to scroll 

Pretty far from being complete, but again... getting there! ^_^ I'm trying to keep it as accurate to LostWinds as possible.

Woo! very nice. What are you thinking of doing for controls? Mouse-as-wiimote? or a true joypad platformer? (or something else?)

that looks fantastic! 

heya - fun game, I like how the player speeds up through the levels to make things more tricky.

2 things i think would help make the game feel more solid are...

1. to start your player somewhere more central on the screen if possible (currently you start top left on a new game/after death), because its a bit hard to see hidden up in that corner AND you get instant death from 50% of your control options (up/left=die).

2. Its not super obvious that the walls kill you, a cheap solution might be to run a green line around the outside of the play area - that way you have a clear language that green is bad to touch (as you already know from the rules that green blocks are to be avoided.

hope thats some help.

I don't even remember if it got any decent marketing in the uk when it came out?

Considering it never made it to Europe, I highly doubt that

LOL! well that makes a lot of sense now... I assumed I had never spotted it because it had just failed too quickly.

this is Red, a demake of Rez for Virtual Boy of course.

fantastic!
wow that really was an odd console, all that black and red surely isn't good for the eyes  . I don't even remember if it got any decent marketing in the uk when it came out?

That's funny, all I see is a red 'x' and the image properties says it's

Code:

ok fixed, ta for spotting that! Wierd how it was working for me with 3 /// though, maybe firefox sees /// as //?
