Slime Salad

Yeah, that was the one. I'd forgotten about the Livejournal integration. Nice touch. The two fights I was most concerned about were the werewolf, which you could essentially beat on accident without realizing it, and the ghost, who isn't clued at all and relies on some lateral thinking . I would hav...

One of the games that could've been Fallout 3 was codenamed Van Buren, though I gotta doubt that factors into it at all. It was a fun game! It deserves 50 downloads! Did you finish it, then? I'm curious what you thought if so. I suspect it turned out really easy, but it's hard to tell from where I'...

MVB has 47 downloads. I'm not sure how that happened, but I'm glad that people are getting into the spirit of the season (Election Day, that is). I've only mentioned it here and on Twitter (@hoursgoby if you're curious), and while it did get favorited by Robert Boyd of Zeboyd Games, Twitter tells me...

Martin Van Buren, Monster Slayer is finished. I advertised a vampire; he didn't make the cut. Everything else is here, though, and I'm pleased with how it turned out. You can beat the game in about five minutes if you know what you're doing, but guess what? You don't. I expect it's about a 20-minut...

In 1802, a young Martin Van Buren was tasked to rid a Pennsylvania manor of its sundry monsters. This is his story.

I'm pretty sure AzureGames just means the unlump issue. Try creating a new game or opening, say, Vikings of Midgard.

Here is another image. Super pleased with how this turned out. Illusion of depth and all that. This is kind of the hub area. Currently, the game has seven monsters for Martin to slay (more if you count each zombie separately, but we don't), and of those, three are slayable right now, one more is rea...

It's shown in brown text at the bottom of the main menu in CUSTOM.

You can have 160 frames, if you don't mind scripting it If I scripted it, I could tileset-swap for unlimited frames. I don't really want to script it, and I'm going to have to cut corners to get this into the contest as is. That said, I have spent way too much time on the rain already; if you did b...

(The rain looks super cheap though!) It's better in action. I'm not totally satisfied with it, but there's only so much I can do with four frames of animation. Over those four frames, the rain moves 10 pixels right and 20 pixels down, so the raindrops have to be 10 pixels apart for it to animate co...

This is either a great idea or a terrible idea or both.

Martin Van Buren, Monster Slayer

I could nitpick and point out that branches point towards the sun unless they become too heavy... but those are very nice trees even so.

The database is going through a server migration on Wednesday. If the site is down or one of your posts gets eaten, that's why.

You will probably not be affected, but just in case, you might want to save any 10,000-word dissertations for Thursday.

Much more dedicated minds have spent countless hours on this problem. Here's my ranking: 1. Wizard If you're playing wizard to blow things up, you're going to be disappointed. Wizards are bad at explosions, despite fireball and magic missile being staples of wizardry. The real power of the wizard is...

People use those buttons?!
