Slime Salad

While testing out the earlier chapters of the game to catch any bugs I may have missed, I stumbled across an engine bug. Equip menu does weird things when you try to equip an item that would raise your stats above stat caps now... http://i518.photobucket.com/albums/u343/FnrrfYgmSchnish/Okedoke/Magic...

Working on Okédoké again--and seriously this time, I'm not going to get distracted by new contest entries or abandon it for a few months due to school (my schedule this year has plenty of days where I've got little or no school work to do, and this is my last semester of school probably ever... so y...

The game's title is The K'hyurbhi Lands. (There actually is a game titled The Kirby Lands, which is what I thought was being reviewed when I clicked this... "oh hey, someone finally reviewed that old hunk of crap that I made over a decade ago... wait, no, that's not the awful MS Paint title scr...

About Cat In Box and its 8-bit-ness (or not): the version of the game I got from clicking the download link labeled as "8-bit version" doesn't actually seem to be the 8-bit version, going by the screenshots on the game page. The "8-bit version" title screen with the gray boxes an...

I don't think I'll have enough done for my 8-bit game project to actually upload a demo for the contest, but I do plan on finishing it eventually anyway. (...Heart of the OHR 2014? Nah, hopefully it won't take that long! XD) And I did get some work on it done this weekend (mostly adding in enemies t...

It kind of bugs me that you say "the character design is terrible" but then go on to talk about nothing but the K'hyurbhis. It's fine to just not like my character/species designs that much, no problem there... but the impression I get from the review is "everything in this game looks...

Textboxes aren't able to directly affect hero stats as far as I'm aware, so I'm guessing you'd need some scripting to do something like this. Though I think there is a way to make items that permanently increase stats when used outside battle now, without needing scripting. If so, then you might be ...

Finally, the first shreds of a playable demo are starting to come together. Since the deadline's extended, I'm thinking I'll actually be able to get something done in time for this year's 8-bit Contest! http://i518.photobucket.com/albums/u343/FnrrfYgmSchnish/8bit0006_zps52a83b8a.png 'MURICA. I just ...

* Okédoké!

Nah, Okédoké isn't complete yet.

I guess it could probably count as "almost complete," since 5 out of the game's 6 chapters are done (along with a tiny bit at the start of chapter 6) in the most recent demo that's been uploaded.

Noticed a little oddity--the guy with the horned helmet... one of his helmet's horns wiggles when he walks (only on the right-facing sprite, though.)

Also, how come the first guy no longer has a different skin tone from the others in the new sprites?

Oh hey, they're like the Wall Masters in Zelda! I actually don't think I've seen anyone make something like those in an OHRRPGCE game before. http://i.picasion.com/pic72/0979bf11ecc0541d90806b74893ac75d.gif ...that GIF animates a lot slower than the actual game... but oh well. Slapped together my re...

Well, the Espers in FF6 didn't actually teach you the spell at all until you built up enough points, if I'm remembering right. That would make it a lot easier to deal with (since you'd only have to teach the spell once, when the points for that spell filled up, rather than teaching/deleting spells e...

Some early screenshots from my 8-bit contest attempt for this year (which hopefully will get to a decent-sized demo stage, since I've gotten so much graphics and mapping work done already!) http://i518.photobucket.com/albums/u343/FnrrfYgmSchnish/8bit0000_zps84e24444.png Here's the map. The individua...

What in the world is a "mezzer?" I don't think I've heard that one before. I like the idea of an otter for the water-user (otters are kind of underrepresented in things not named Redwall, at least from what I've seen. There's some otter Pokémon, but... there's a Pokémon version of almost e...

Those commands all do nothing for me, and I'm running Windows XP. Weird. I know they work on Windows XP, the computer I used most often had XP up until a couple years ago when I got my laptop. Oh, just remembered: you have to use the number-pad numbers to get these things to work (...which sucks if...
