Slime Salad

I really liked that font for the print cover, but it hadn't occurred to me that I might want a different font for the e-book cover. I'll consider that. Thank you for the link EDIT: one thing I have noticed about comparing print books and e-book covers is that the fonts are pretty consistently HUGE o...

Good suggestion! I rephrased it to: A new city and a fresh start was what former thief Catt Zago was looking for, but what she found instead was Great Bakak, a city-state ruled ancient tradition and full of everyday magic. A place full of many gods and many people. A place where the King rules supre...

I am nearly done with my book, and I am targeting the first weekend in May for releasing, both as an e-book and as print on demand. Here is the blurb I wrote for store listings: A new city and a fresh start was what former thief Catt Zago was looking for, but what she found instead was Great Bakak, ...

Sounds like right now the only release-blocker is that invalid slice handle 0 error that Ravancloak saw on Mac

Has anyone else had a chance to test a current nightly build on Mac yet?

scons: *** [ver.txt] UnicodeDecodeError : 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 58: ordinal not in range(128) You know that is weird, I was looking at that exact error message today In a totally unrelated python2.7 program (a program that parsed mime email parts and stripped out html) it...

I spotted something peculiar that actually has nothing to do with the new features. I made a script that runs once per tick to animate a transparent fog layer. Strangely enough, this animation pauses when a cutscene happens. The custcene does not do any "suspend timer" I am investigating.....

The blue flash is probably an interaction between the sprite transparency and the standard fade (I noticed a hint of the same when using "Appear" dissolves in battle) Scripting commands to manipulate sprite slice transparency are not in yet. Maybe those are important enough to delay the go...

What time is it? Stable release time! Already! We are practically nearly on-schedule with this one! Tmc put some nice bugfixes and new features into this one, even though it is not as big a release as fufluns was, i am still excited! We need your help testing current nightly builds, and checking to ...

I used to eat barcodes for breakfast, so I was planning on making my own barcodes, but then I remembered I don't have access to the nice software I used to be able to use at my old employer in California. I need up using this tool, which I was quite impressed with. https://the-burtons.xyz/barcode-ge...

Caterpillar party is beautiful! Great job!

I like the talk box visualizations too

I have been working on my cover text formatting, the artist who I commissioned for the cover has been doing a great job. I'll post a picture of it when it is final. I was able to get my ISBN number (Yay free Canadian ISBNs!) and correctly format it as a barcode. I was reading about that second littl...

That pixel food is quite appetizing!

What if hard mode changed the availability of equipment? Two versions of each shop, and two versions of each equipment-bearing treasure chest might be less work than two versions of each enemy

There is a much easier way!

Don't worry about slices at all

Pick an inaccessible place on the map (I usually use the top left corner, 0,0 for this) and make sure it is hidden by an upper map layer or an overhead tile.

Then just put the hero there, and focus the camera on the NPCs
