I thought you were doing Airship 2600 now?

Don't know what I'm going to do now...exotic dancing is just a placeholder (probably).  Of course, I could just have the fourth game be different from the one advertised on the box; that'd be pretty bootleggy as well, right?

I just love how this compo theme lends itself to all sorts of handwaving

Hmm.  I encountered some very weird untracable memory-allocation-related bugs yesterday...that occur sometimes in one particular spot: it was a bit offputting.  I spent a good bit of the day wrestling with them, but in the end I figured it's best to just continue trying to put in content, and if I stumble across the cause of that particular problem, to deal with it.

Have two of the levels more or less designed now.  Three to go (which shouldn't be too hard).  Still haven't put in moving platforms ... I will at some point.  Tossed in a couple of more animations and non-essential gameplay whatsits. 

(I still have to rearrange some of the basic menu screens, but I'm not really sure exactly how to approach that in a way that will be satisfyting: I'm happy to let it bubble away in my subconscious while I work on more pressing matters).

[increpare]

Almost ready to upload a beta version...have one-and-a-half levels of lady million left to design, then I'll upload binaries of what I do have to see what you guys think...hopefully tomorrow...*fingers/&c. crossed*

bad guys damage animation
bullets deflect off bad guys
bullets kill bad guys
shootable/regenerating platform
bitmap font display
bitmap number display
bosses
do weapon graphics/icons

code in weapon differences
conveyer platform
rising block platform/rising spike platform/or rising lava?
falling spikes
platforms that, when hit, fall and can do damage
have some music done by now

killing bosses grants use of new weapon
(with screen saying this)

Neat, I've been looking forward to this

Some mockups:

It saves so much screen, kicks so much ass.=)

Hah, cheers.

Got the fourth game done.  Only half a level to put together, then I can upload the prerelease version.

Question: what's the deal with flickering?  How bad is it to have flickering on a screen?  Not whole, big-assed, on-screen flicker, but lots of small things flickering about?  hmm.  I guess you guys can judge for yourselves when I upload it.

I am awaiting this like the eager beaver I am, I've been dying to shoot babies out of an arm cannon ever since you mentioned that possibly being an ability.

Psh, I been doing that since 1989 

[increpare]

Screw it, it's finished (windows and mac versions there on the first post).

Yay! for not not having anything to submit this time 'round!

There might still be a couple of naughty crashies in the LM section of the game.  If you encounter any blah blah blah let me know.

[Noyb]

Crashes for me as soon as Lady Million beams into the level. 

If it helps debug, I'm on a Dell Inspiron 1520. Windows Vista. GeForce 8600M GT. 2 GB RAM, 2 GHz Intel dual core.

The other games work fine, though. Sick Panda is so depressing. :D

Drat.  Have you tried more than once?  (the bug tend to occur infrequently).

I'll have to do some hardcore debugging over the weekend I guess (I already spent a day trying to track down that bug).  It works on my PC anyway, and sort of works on at least one other person's.

[Noyb]

Drat.  Have you tried more than once?  (the bug tend to occur infrequently).

Tried each level twice, and one after entering in a random password. Crashed every time.

To be more specific, Lady Million beams in, the music starts, I hear the beaming noise. When the animation stops and the sprite resolves to solid outlines, the game crashes. Sometimes it happens before the beaming noise fully ends, but always before I can gain control.

gross. thanks!  I'll do my best to fix it over the weekend

[UltraJMan]

I played through it all and wow.. that was incredible hahaha, great work man.

[Zaknafein]

Hahahah wow, that was amazing.
I actually got to Lady Birth, but that one-hit kill is just unfair.

Also... I, too, am powerless against the viruses.

[increpare]

Thanks guys!

I actually got to Lady Birth Lady, but that one-hit kill is just unfair.

It's not necessarily a one-hit kill You can kill her before she gives birth anyway, if you have the right strategy.

(I will at some point need to flesh out the boss bits a little more)

[laserghost]

wow, Lady Million is a tough game!
