Ah, I see.  That makes so much more sense, thanks!

I killed about two days (not solid but wasted a lot of hours uploading version after version through my mochi svn account) trying all sorts of methods to get the two to play nice.  Never did get it working and needed to move on. Sad

I thought Kong had a deal with Mochi that suppresses any MochiAds.

That plot twist just didn't work. Too big a twist for such little characterization.

That was probably my biggest concern.  Can you think of anything that might help bring a little more depth to the character?

Fixed.  How's that for turnaround time?  Well, hello there!

I figure I'll be doing another informational post to share my experiences with FGL as far as how it works out or what I learn in case others haven't taken that plunge yet and maybe want a "user story" about how it goes.

Please do.  This post itself was already extremely informative, thanks.

Lulz @ the Cooltext.com logo.  Do you really expect anyone to do business with you with such a horrible website?

Thank you very much!  I actually didn't realize that there were problems with the thin tunnel until about yesterday.  It seems like it doesn't happen more than it does, but it's still something I will probably fix.  BTW, if you enjoyed the game's story, I should point you in the direction of the Philip K. Dick short story "The Skull," as the game is a slight nod to that.

Because the mailman was too lazy to  try and deliver my laptop charger more than once, and I was too lazy to go get it, I am resuming this game a little bit later than I thought.  But, rest assured, I am still very much dedicated to improving this game.  Thanks, everyone, for all the bug reports and ideas.  Expect a new version within the next couple days.

A Death Foreordained was made for the RPGDX Lofi RPG Jam in a bit less than the allotted 48 hours.  It follows the story of a person sent back in time to assassinate a leader in hopes of changing the future.

Mini LD #8 is actually on the 6th, not the 8th as posted.

I was actually working on a small scale online RPG with Mirage Source years back thats whole purpose was to be permanent.  The game was basically a like a blank MMORPG, where players had the ability to collect resources(mining ore,fishing,farming,etc.), and use these resources to build things like wells, houses, farms, and castles.  The idea was to just let players run free and see what happened, and I didn't have much planned for after the launch.

Since the engine doesn't support real-time editing, I had a website which players could see all the building types available to them and submit requests for buildings, with accounts tied to their ingame accounts.  I would simply deduct the necessary resources from the player's account and spend a couple minutes editing the map to build something.

Unfortunately, the initial design called for way more blank "nature" maps than I cared to make in a reasonable amount of time, and I ended up losing the game source in a HD crash, so it was never really realized.  I've been thinking about maybe making a smaller scaled version of the game lately, and just playing it with people from the community/people I know.

I dont scrobble, a lot of what I listen to now, because the Last.fm application takes up more memory than its worth when running, but I do listen to the Last.fm radio pretty frequently.  It's kinda like having a large portion of my music collection available to me anywhere.

I used to play The Specialists a ton.  That was definitely one of the better HL mods ever, so I'm really excited to play this.

Since it's technically Friday here, I am getting an early start, since Saturday is a bit busy for me.  I'm definitely liking the lofi theme...it makes it so much easier to just be able to concentrate on the game.

Now what I really hate is when achievements are tied to unlockables. I'm looking at you, Team Fortress 2 Apoplectic.

I just bought TF2 today, because it's on sale, and this fact just about ruined the game for me.  I cannot play the game competitively because I do not have hours and hours of achievements/unlockables under my belt.  When experienced players get the ability to throw fireballs that instakill, and new players don't, that imbalances the game horribly.

In TF2 it's so bad that there are maps, like achievement_scout where people just concentrate on getting achievements.  That is not a game, that is work, and I will be damned if I'm going to pay money to work.
