Wow, very very good. The presentation is excellent! Also well done, if that's your first chip-tune you are going places!!!

Is this project still going? Id like to try it but the link is broken!

Nice, perhaps try things with it that minecraft doesent do

Hi,

Its running but unplayably slow. Id love to play it, looks fun! Doing about 1 frame per 2 seconds! Core 2 Duo, 2gb ram, gforce 7600gt, windows xp sp3. Perhaps my graphics card drivers need updating?

Here is log.txt after running the game...

Will not run on my system, completely unplayable 

Razz I really like it. Looks and sounds great, no slowdown on my machine. One tiny little thing I would suggest is a little message on the menu saying something like "press f1/f2 to scale screen" this would help people who download the game who have not read this thread. Ah, Ive just noticed, its in the text file!

Micco,

I like this game. I think the style is pretty. The sound is great. I found the control a little fiddly at first but soon got used to them. The little tiny enemy's were frustrating because my bullets couldn't hit them. Also, I found it hard to distinguish who was an enemy and who was a friend I should talk to. Perhaps the humanoid enemy's should be a different color than you allies?

I'm really enjoying Space Funeral. The characters are interesting, the story is drip fed to the player and the music is perfectly suited. It would be improved by having the exits of areas clearly marked. Also, sometimes the main character blends into the background, making control a little difficult sometimes. But its a great indie RPG all the same.

nice. any chance i could look at the source code of this?

Has to be one of my favorite little games in a long time, its superb! Music is perfect BTW.

Actually the mouse worked fine for me. I enjoyed playing, seems like allot of hard work went into it, what a nice achievement! One thing I didn't enjoy was the music, it got repetitive very early on. I liked the way the tutorial stuff was on the ground. I wasn't bothered about having to hide when I lost the use of my gun, was kinda fun actually.

[height of the ground, minus the height of the character.]

When the character is not touching the ground, gravity is being applied.

When the character touches the ground, gravity is stopped and the character is moved to the height of the ground, minus the height of the character.

Could the problem lie here? When the character is repositioned over the ground, its not actually touching the ground therefore gravity is being applied again?

I have had similar issues in the past. One workaround was to only apply gravity if there was at least 1 pixel between the character and the ground...

Guys and Gals,

This thread has been very helpful to me. Thanks all for your reply's.

Kid.

I'm hoping the friendly TIGSource people will be kind enough to download and run that, so I'll know what I'm getting into before the game gets released.

Ill definitely be up for that!

Very impressive

I released little game made with C++ and SFML just two days ago, actually ('Bottoms up!' in the Announcements section). It has been confirmed to work in several computers running OS X, Linux and Windows. The Linux version seems to require tjat the .so filés be put into the administrative lib directories, though, so I'm thinking of making an .sh file to fix that.

Will download that thanks!

Nice Idea. Not sure about that text that vibrates in the middle of the screen though.

Very good work. It has great potential. Looking forward to when its finished.

Nice take on the physics genre, keep up the good work. Played for a good while. My daughter played also!

A good effort OP. One thing I would say is that for a non board game player, its not very intuitive. Many players would not bother reading a user manual. Perhaps your not targeting non board game players, that's fine but I would make the game as accessible as possible to the most people.
